CHAPTER VII—Continued.
How about the Crescent Island sub-
way?"
"Ripe any time," and Tim Corman
Becked the ashes from his cigar with
a heavily gemmed hand. "The boost*
«r» have been working on it right
along, but never too strong."
There's no need for any particular
manipulation in that," decided Alli-
eon, who knew the traetton situation
to the last nickel. "The city needs
that outlet, and It needs the new ter-
ritory which will be opened up. 1
think we'd bettor push the subway
r ight on across to the mainland. The
extension would have to be made In
ten years anyhow."
"ICb better right now," immediately
assented Corman. In ten years he
might be dead.
I think, too, that we’d better pro-
•Vide for a heavy future expansion,”
■went on Allison, glancing expectantly
Into Tim’s old eyes. "We’d probably
better provide for a double-deck, eight-
track tube."
Tim Corman drew a wheezy breath,
and then he grinned the senile shadow
of his old-time grin; but it still had
the same spirit.
“You got a hen on,” he decided. In
society, Tim could manage very
nicely to use fashionable language,
but In business he found It impossible
after the third or fourth minute of
conversation. He had taken In every
detail of the room on his entrance,
and his glance had strayed more than
once to the red streaks on the big
map. Now he approached It, and
studied it with absorbed Interest.
•'You’re a smart boy, Ed,” he con-
cluded. “Across Crescent island is the
only leak you could snake In a rail-
road. You found the only crack that
the big systems haven’t tied up."
"All you can get me to admit, just
flow, is that the city needs an eight-
track tube across Crescent island, un-
der lease to the Municipal Transporta-
tion company.” stated Allison, smiling
go down to the big ferry, If the Old
Boy comes along and offers me enough
money, I'll go to hell.”
Still laughing, Allison telephoned to
the offices of the Midcontinent rail-
road, and dashed out to his runabout
just In time to see Tim Corman driv-
ing around the corner In his liveried
landau. He found In President Ur-
hank of the Midcontinent, a spare man
who had worn three vertical creases
In his brow over one thwarted ambi-
tion. His rich but sprawling railroad
system ran fairly.straight after It was
well started for Chicago, and fairly
straight from that way point until It
became drunken with the monotony of
the western foothills, where It gangled
and angled its way to the far soutn
and around up the Pacific coast, arriv-
ing there dusty and rattling, after a
thousand-mile detour from Its course—
but that road had no direct entrance
Into New York city. It approached
from the north, and was compelled to
circle completely around, over hired
tracks, to gain a ferryboat entrance.
Passengers inured to coming In over
the Midcontinent, which was a well-
equipped road otherwise, counted but
half their Journey done when they
came tn sight of New York, no mat-
ter from what distance they had come.
"Out marketing for railroads today,
Gil?" suggested Allison.
. ”1 don’t know," smiled Urbank. "I
might look at a few."
"Here they are.” and Allison tossed
him a memorandum slip.
Urbank glanced at the slip, then
he looked up at Allison in perplexity.
He had a funny forward angle to his
neck when he was interested, and the
creases In his brow were deepened un-
til they looked like cuts.
”1 thought you were joking, and I’m
still charitable enough to think so.
What’s all this Junk?"
"Little remnants and Job lots of
railroads I’ve been picking up," and
Allison drew forward his chair. "Some
does the Mideonttnent
Crescent Island tube?"
“Right here." and Allison pointed to
his map. “You come out of the tube
to the L. and C., which has a long-
time tracking privilege over fifty miles
of the Towando Valley, aud termi-
nates at Windfleld. At Forgeson, how-
ever. Just ten miles after the L. and
L. leaves the Towando, that road—"
“Is crossed by our tracks!" Urbank
eagerly Interpreted. "The Midconti-
nent, after Its direct exit, saves a
seventy-mile detour! Then It's a
straight shoot for Chicago! Straight
on again out west— Why, Allison,
your route is almost as straight as an
arrow! It will have a three-hundred-
mile shorter haul than even the Inland
Pacific! You’ll put that road out of
the business! You’ll have the king of
transcontinental lines, and none can
ever be built that will save one kink!”
His neck protruded still further from
his collar as he bent over the map
’’Here you spilt off from the Midconti-
nent’s main line and utilize the White
Range branch; from Silverknob— M\
God!” and his mouth dropped open.
“Why—why—why, you ctobs the big
range over the lnlnnd Pacific's own
tracks!" and his voice cracked.
Edward E. Allison, his vanity grati-
fied to its very core, sat back com-
fortably, smiling aud smoking, until
Urbank awoke.
"I suppose we can come to some ar-
rangement," he mildly suggested.
Urbank looked at him still in a daze
for a moment, and a trace of the
creases came back Into his brow, then
they faded away.
"You figured all this out before you
came to me," he remarked. "On what
terms do we get In?”
to tbs | “And how much s year does Market
Square church take out of Vedder
court?"
•1 was waiting for that bit of Im-
pertinence," laughed Manning. “1
shall be surprised at nothing you say
since that first day when you char-
acterized Market Square church as a
remarkably lucrative enterprise. Have
you never felt any compunctions of
conscience over that?"
"Not once,” answered Gall prompt-
ly. She had started to seat herself on
one of the empty benches, but had
changed her mind. "If I had been given
to any such self-injustice, however, 1
should reproach myself now. I think
Market Square church not ouly com-
mercial but criminal."
“I’ll have to give your ssul a chas-
tisement,” smiled Manning. ’’These
people most live somewhere, and be-
cause Vedder court, being church
property, Is exempt from taxation,
they find cheaper rents here than auy-
where In the city. If we were to put
up improved buildings, I don't know
where they would go, because we
would be compelled to charge moro
rent.”
"In order to make the same rate of
profit,” responded Gail. "Out of all
CHAPTER VIII.
The Mine for the Golden Altar.
Vedder Court was a very drunkard
among tenement groupB. Its decrepit
old wooden buildings, as If weak-
kneed from dissipation and senile de-
cay, leaned against each other crook-
edly for support, and leered down at
the sodden swarms beneath, out of
broken-paned windows which gave
somehow a ludicrous effect of bleared
eyes. There had once been a narrow
strip of curbed Boll In the center of
the street, where three long-since-de-
parted trees had given the quarter Its
name of "court," but this space was
now as bare and dry as the asphalt
surrounding It, and, as It was too
small even for the purpose of children
at play, a wooden bench, upon which
____no one had ever sat. as. Indeed, why

on It, to become loose-jointed and

"If you're serious about Interesting
the Midcontinent in any of this prop-
erty, we don't need to waste much
time. Urbank leaned back and held
his knee. “There are only two of
these roads approach the Midconti-
nent system at any point, and they
are useless property so far as we are
concerned; the L. and C!„ In the East
and the Silverknob and Nugget City
in the west, which touches our White
Range branch at Its southern termi-
nus. We couldn't do anything with
those.”
•'All I Know Is a Guoss, and I Don’t
Tell Guesses.”
•with gratification. A compliment of
•this sort from shrewd old Tim Cor-
man, who was reputed to be the foxi-
test man In the world, was a tribute
[highly flattering.
“That’s rigfit,” approved Tim. "All
l know is a guess, and I don’t tell
Stuesses. This Is a big job. though,
Eddie. A subway to Crescent island!
under proper restrictions, is just an
ordinary year’s work for the boys, but
this tube pokes Its noje into Oakland
bay."
"I’m quite aware of the size of the
.1ob,” chuckled Allison. "However,
Tito, there’ll be money enough behind
this proposition to fill that tube with
greenbacks."
Between the narrow-slltted and
You landed on the best ones right
away," smiled Allison. "However I
don’t propose to sell these to the Mid-
continent. I propose to absorb the
Midcontinent with them.”
Urbank suddenly remembered Alli-
son's traction history, and leaned for-
ward to look at the job lots and rem-
nants again.
“This list Isn’t complete," he judged
and turned to Allison with a serious
question in his eye.
"Almost,” and Allison hitched a
little closer to the desk. "There re-
mains an aggregate of three hundred
and twenty miles of road to be built
in four short stretches. In addition to
this, I have a twenty-year contract
over a hundred-mile stretch of the In-
|i Iand Pacific, a track right entry into
!W I San Francisco, and this,” he displayed
to Urbank a preliminary copy of an
ordinance authorizing the Immediate
building of an eight-track tube through
Crescent Island to the mainland “Pos
Sibly you can understand this whole
project better If I show you a map"
and he spread out his little pocket
sketch. 1
If it had been possible to reverse
the process of time and worry and
wearing concentration, President Ur-
bank of the Midcontinent would have
risen from his inspection of that
map with a brow as smooth as a
baby s. Instead, his lips went dry
as he craned forward his neck at
that funny angle, and projected his
chin with the foolish motion of a
goose.
"A direct entrance right slam Into
the center of New York!" he ex-
claimed, cracking all his knuckles vio-
lently one by one. "Vedder court!
Where's that?”
“That’s the best part of the joke ”
exulted Allison, with no thought that
Vedder court was, at this present mo-
ment, church property. "It’s Just
where you said—right slam In the cen-
ter of New York; and the building
into which the Midcontinent will run
its trains will be also the terminal
building of every municipal transpor-
tation line In Manhattan! From my
station platforms passengers from
Chicago or the far West will step di-
rectly into subway, L„ or trolltfy.

As for Its tenants; they were exactly
the sort of birds one might expect to
find In such foul nests. They were of
many nations, but of just two main va-
rieties: stupid and squalid, or thin and
furtive; but they were all dirty, and
they boro, In their complexions, the
poison of crowded breathing spaces,
and bad sewerage, and unwholesome
or insufficient food.
Into this mire there drove an utterly
out-of-place little electric coupe. At
the wheel was the fresh-cheeked Gail
Sargent and with her was the twin
kling-eyed Rufus Manning, whose
white beard rippled down to his sec-
ond waistcoat button. They drove
slowly the length of the court and
back again, the girl studying every de-
tail with acute Interest. They stopped
In front of Temple Mission, which,
with Its ugly red and blue lettering
nearly erased by years of monthly
scrubbings, occupied an old store room
once used as a saloon.
“So this Is the chrysalis from which
the butterfly cathedral Is to emerge,"
commented Gall, as Manning held the
door open for her, and before she rose
she peered again around the uninvit-
ing “court,’’ which not even the bright
winter sunshine could relieve of Its
dinginess; rather, the sun made It
only the more dismal by presenting
the ugliness more in detail.
This Is the mine which produces
the gold which Is to gild the altar," as-
serted Manning, studying the side-
walk. “I don’t think you'd better come
In here. You'll spoil your shoes.”
“I want to see it all this time be-
cause I'm never coming hack," insist-
ed Gall, and placed one daintily shod
foot on the step.
“Then I’ll havq to shame Sir Walter
Raleigh,” laughed the silvery-bearded
Manning, and, to her gasping curprise,
he caught her around the v/alst and
lifted her across to the door, whereat
several soiled urchins laughed, and
one vinegary-faced old woman grinned,
in horrible appreciation, and dropped
Manning a familiarly respectful curtsy
as he passed.
There was no one In the mission ex-
cept a broad-shouldered man with a
roughly hewn face, who ducked his
head at Manning and touched his fore-
finger to the side of his head. He was
placing huge soup kettles in their
holes in the counter at the rear of the
room, and Manning called attention to
this.
^ practical mission,” he explained
’’We start in by saving the bodies."
"Do you get any further?" Inquired
Gail, glancing from the empty benches
and the atrociously colored “religious"
pictures on the walls to the windows,
past which eddied a mass of humanity
all but submerged in hopelessness.
"Sometimes." replied Manning
gravely. "I have' Been a soul or two I
ln»l," repeated Manning, with a si# '
smile at Gall, who now were a littlf
r»d spot tn each cheek.
Rev. Smith Boyd’s cold eyes turned
green, as he glanced at this darlif
young person. In offending the dignity .
of Market Squats church she offended '
his own.
"What would you have us do?" he
quietly asked.
"Retire from business," shs tn-
formed him, nettled by the covert
sneer at her youth and Laaxperlence. j
She laid aside a new perplfcr'ty for

Daddy Manning Is coward enough to
want to make his peace with heaven,
after a life which put a few blots on

She laughed at him speculatively
for a moment, and then she laughed.
"You know, 1 don't believe that,
Daddy Manning. You’re an old fraud,
who does good by stealth. In order to
gain tho reputation of having been
picturesquely wicked. Tell me why

Because it’s bo respectable," he
twinkled down at her. “When an old
sinner has lost every other claim to
respectability, he has himself put on
the vestry.”
He dropped behind on their way to
the door, to surreptitiously slip some-
thing, which looked like money, to the
man with the roughly hewn counte-
nance, and as he stood talking, Rev.
Smith Hoyd came in, not quite breath-
lessly, but as if he had hurried.
"I knew you were here,” he said,
taking Gail's slender hand in his own;
then his eyes turned cold.
"You recognized my pink ribbon

frankly. "You haven't been over to
sing lately.”
"No," he replied,

Daddy Manning saved the rector tbs
pain of any answer.
"You’re a religious anarchist.” bs
charged Gall.
Her face softened.
“By no means,” Bhe replied. "I ait
a devoted follower of the divine spirit,
the divine will, the divine law; hul
not of the church; for It lias forgotten
these things."
"You don’t know what you are say

"That Isn't all you mean,’’ she p»
torted. "What you have In mind li
that, being a woman, and young. 1
should be silent. You would not per-
mit thought if you could avoid it, for

Now Rev. Smith Boyd could b«
triumphant. There was a curl of sar
ciism on bis lips.
"Are you quite consistent?" he
charged. “You have Just been object-
ing to the prosperity of the church."
"Financially," she admitted; “but tt

prosperity Is a direct sign of your re-
ligious decay. Your financial bank-
ruptcy will come later, as It has dons

will do all over the world. Humanity
treats the church with the generosity
due a once valuable servant who has
outlived Ills usefulness."
"My dear child, humanity can never
do without religion,” Interposed Daddy
Manning.
“Agreed,” said Gail; "but It out-
grows them. It outgrew paganism,
Idolatry, and a score of minor phases
In between. Now tt is outgrowing the
religion of creed, In Its progress to-
ward morality. What we need la a
