"Here this way," and hi a moment
John Breen stood close to Almon
Straus. Ilarboard had arranged the
meeting.
"I want to shake hands with John
Breen."
'larboard had managed to steer
them into a corner near the stair,
Almon .Strauss was leaning toward
Toho. holding his hoed. What a
homely human being' he was!
"John T ^m en glad to see you.
Very glnd!" Ahmo'r Strauss was
Chert, of stocky build. almost hump-
backed.
"Let el: a•n upstairs. I have the

As they fol,swed John ui, to the
offices of Colfax, up the duet -cover-
ed handing and into the inner room,
a strong emnticn came to John, s'
sense of less overpowering. He

hour had gone since the times' when
he and Colfax worked late into the
night, when he looked forward to
the week -end, to the Sunday after-
noon,
"1 have been back a few weeks.
Have some Chairs. I will not say
what ie hapepning in Europe, the
world is reforming; though the stable
years are still a long way off. But.
my heart is here, gentlemen, always
here," Almon Strauss waved his thin
hand around, embeaeing all beyond
the rooms, all outover the crowded
millions about them ins the city. "I
have been• rereading the final repos'
of Colfax," he said, "and your no-
tations, your very excellent engin-
eering figures, Mr. Breen. These
papers have all been- kept for me
here. No—Tchn; I may call you
that. I credit you both." John had
started in protest. "The facts are
so startling no one now would heed.
In an election it would be'inud-throw-
ing. In the year after election we
are too busy to pay serious attention
to such things. But, the plan, the
real working plan, must be ready for
035 some day. We hear s:: much of
the transportation problem. I have
rend candidly what you say. We
have tc.o much transportation al-
ready, too much crowding from th.l
outskirts into the ynngested city.
But what can stop it?
"Your sewer report astonished me."
Alston Strauss found and drew the
bulky blue -covered document from a
desk. "Colfax often told nee of the
c'.nditions, but I had no idea."
"An island completely surrounded
by sewage," Ilarboard remarked
Where boys bathe and rats run wild
at night"
"New York and vicinity, clumping
its wade material into its own yard,
converting its narrow rivers into im-
mense open cesspools; it's a elks"
Alma» Strauss paused and thumbed
the pages. •
"The greatest clanger, sit." John
interposed, "lies in the ablitlutely
inadequate sewer system of the low-
er portion of the city. Old brick con-
duit; fifty and seventy five years cid
running to the river. The problem of
drainage on Manhattan is simple.
but the fact that drainage should all
be into disposal works, into scientific
plants for the recovery of the mag-
nesia, potash, phosphoric acid, chlm-
ini, oxide of iron and nitrogen, all
combined in almost ideal pr'oportior
for use as fertilizer, This seems to
place the problem beyond the ability
of our civic talent. A spoonful may
bo dipped out here and there and
screened, but the great work+, the
scientific works that would yield a.
fortune to the city, these are only
Dart of the plan"
"Yes, John. the plant"Ammer.
Steanss seemed to waken up from
a study. "After all, the plan mist
tome first. Let es get the plan."
"T have had a theory," Almon
Strauss went on, "a theory that the
city will work its 'way out et the
mire." He stopped, paused fir a
moment,
"They say that my people are nat-
ura lly dwellers in cities. It may be
sc. But the Tlebrews are an ancient
race. a race that has held its tenets,
has kept its faith for centuries, If
we a"e to he dwellers in cities, we
roust look to our houses. to our fut-
ure habitations. I have lived' in the

switched on the light and was a-
greeably surprised to find the place
in excellent order. John had had an
idea that the Bureau must have van-
ished; like iso much of the past.
"I hod them clean up and air the
rooms," Almon Strauss explained. "I
expected you soon, would have called
for you, on my return freta Paris, but
this is betters". Along the wall, the
familiar cases ' of drawings seemed
intact. The ,filing cabinets were as
before, the bookcases had not beer
disturbed. It seemed as if only an

John sprang to his feet. Almon.
Strauss sat silent. "Lipvitch—Chan-
non Lipvitch?" 'John asked:
,Urchin, I knew you there. I knew of
you when nem, fought on the Bowery
My old friend, Lipvitch, is dead, you
know: When the Sri -Flex shirtwaist
factory burned down, Lipvitch had •
locked the ,doors --,the shook killed
him."
"Please go ion," 'larboard reminded
hini after a, lengthy pause, "with
your vision of 'the city,"
After 'a moment or two, Almon
Strauss continued in low, even tones.
"I see a tremendous city rising in the
future, a city of such magnitude that
men today would marvel at the sight,
The saving in heat, in transportation
of supplies, in the waste motions of
life, will compensate fon the great
congestion of men: Everything Will
be centralized in zones, ;People will
live Pc groups close to their work,
with parks and playgrounds scatter,?
ed in !between. There is no value like
the value of numbers, no potentiality
like the mass potentiality of men,
and the city -is the natural conclusion
to which we must come as we remain
longer on this earth. The city now
is crude, cruder than the plumbing
in King Alfred's hut. We are just
be g inning to see the faintest gleams
! et light. The country for food, for
freedom and for play. the city for
economy, for concentration, for stud;,
' and for education. And by the city
I mean the great open-hearted city
with trees and g'r'ass, and fountains
splashing in the sun. The city with
clean streets, with ample homes. witnl
i every furnishing to maks life worth
living,
"Down below, those f-olish folk
!talk of birth control. What do they
know of agony? What de they
know of building? What of planning
far ahead? I may never see the be-
ginning, but, John, and you, too, Har -
board, you may sen, you may know.
"But I are afraid of the city. I am
.frail we have planned too far a-
head. People are getting contused.
anis rents go higher and higher. I
am closing np this place and expect
to leave. But my heart is here.
Orel help the city."
Where the recurring storm -centers
all
of wild. conventions and campaigns
raged amid sprouts of -promise, old
lttac:ison Square, Carden stands only
hi memory like a palace in ;Spain.
Steel and tile tower high, and higher,
,C=e1—
It was in this environment that
Harboard and John paused at the
southern end of a walk along the
Avenue, crowded with the great rush
•c1 a mid-season afternoon. The
friends were given to long teamps,
to the diversion of extended explor-
atipns in the city.,
Again great things were happen -
nig, again the city was restless ancl
uncertain in it> ancient harness'
Drastic methods werebeing p'roposed
merchants' associations and Civic
bodies were stirring.' Great agita-
tions were taking public voice. The
huge muddle must assume some pro-
per form. Civic pride was suffering
a revival, new forces were stepping
to the fore, new ideals of service
were again lifting above the tumult
of the town.
They paused en the sharp oasis
south of Twenty-fifth Street between
Fifth Avenue and Broadway. A
smoking .churning rush of cars and
busses hetinned them in. Across the
way the old Agmen Corner had ended
its career. ' On the broad stretch of
the avenue, toward the park, arches
of triumph and of victory once rear-
ed their fragile forms and only pho-
tographs remain. Dewey returned
there from the victory at Manila.
Creat b^;te of men marched by in '17
—men with eat faces, young and
tense— drafted from the youth of the
Metropolis, tramping onward in the
falling snow.
A great void of doubt had come
to 'larboard and to John, a sickening
doubt. To the east, they saw the
great clack hands of the tower point• r
ing to seven. and back on Fifth Ave-
nue the rush of motor cars came to
a euclden stop with a screech of
brakes when the high red light flash-
ed an the traffic towers above the
gas-eharged street.
John Breen stood as men have
stood in the twilight of thick tropic
jungles, gazing at the beauty of the
cobra, unaware of its significance.
Harboard struck his cane .cn the con-
crete walk, a loud tap. John looked
at him, and smiled, smiled with un-
certainty.
Josephine Lambert bad just sped
by them, bareheaded, her dinner wrap
resplenclant, her face animated, beau -
south, ore her way to dinner at one
of the fine old surviving homes of
Waahington Square.
Thomas Hetherington, the great
editor, had pieced together, emuch at•
the crazy melee history of the city,
He'knew and deducted, and imagined
and held in the files of his little of-
fice bundles oi. surprising iinforeme
top. Once, when tanking with Judge
Kelly, an agreable old ,gentleman;
himself asking more, than he impart-
ed, Thomas Hetherington wets pre-
pared to submit a certain train of
ciremnstances, and to ask for a few
places where time had failed to fill
in facts. He was on the 'verge of
springing one of the really great
sensations of the city.
"My dear Mr. Hetherington, what
you say may- he so.. And then again
it may not,' You say you have tails;
ed with Mr. Breen, What ' did he
'say?" •
He called it a lot of interesting
conjecture."
" 'But I believe its so,' I insisted.
"'Well, if it's so why don't I go eat,'
and claim my own?' he asked?'
"W,e11, why don't he?" Judge Kelly
looked puzzled.
