CHAPTER II.
!" WHAT is SUCCESS?"

The two young men turned out of
Lawrence street, to 90 to the house of
Hermann's father There is saying
floating dimly about somewhere, to the
effect that :" man is known, or may
be known, by his friends" There is
an air of sapience about the saying,
but it may be doubted whether it con-
tains much meaning in reality. The
circumstances which help to force a
man in the choice of his friends and as
sociates ought also to be taken into con-
sideration. If, for instance, the char
acter of Philip Massey had been judged
from the fact that Hermann Berghaus
was his greatest friend, or, at least, his
greatest intimate, the result would have
been very garhled, one-sided view of
him and his individuality.
He was like hundreds, even thou
sands of young men living in the city
strictly and entirely OF the middle class.
He came of no particular family, and
had no particular fortune. His father
was large yeoman farmer, of good
estate, residing near the seaport of
Foulhaven, in Yorkshire. Philips own
position in life was so far as one could
Judge, tolerably secure, if not brill
liant one. He was employed in an eX-
tensive firm of civil engineers and sur
veyors in the city of Irkford.e If h
persevered in his calling and displayed
energy and intelligence, it was quite on
the cards that he might rise in time to
position OF great comfort, and even
qtiluence. On the cards also, though
more remote, was the possibility that
he might lnger in his present position
for an indefinite number of years, ris-
ing no higher, if sinking no lower. He
was siX-and-twenty years old, and had
been with his present employers, in
different capacities, for ten years.
During that time he had lived alone in
lodgings, not exactly frendless and
without any one to look after him, but
certainly without any great superiority
of pastors and masters. He had rela-
! tions; he was possessed of father and
mother, still living, he had sisters two
married and settled in homes of their
own-one, the Youngest. and his favor
tie, still under the parental roof. He
| had brothers, too, scattered in different
parts of the world-for not one of the
sons cared to follow the calling of his
! father-one brother in India, a second
in Australia; himself, the youngest of
the force, in the great Irkwood firm OF
civil engineers.
The story of his life forms very
short and simple ANIMAL. To Philip,
whenever he thought about it, it con-
sisted of series of advances in bust
ness, coincident with series of add
vances to successfully better lodgings
in successfully better streets and quar-
tiers of the town; until six months ago
he established himself at 81 Lawrence
street, in the house of widow. who,
he said, made him so comfortable that
he never intended to leave her.

ruse; while she, not vouchsafing another
glance toward the spectators, swept UP
the little red-tiled walk, and was lost TO
view.
Philip Massey had sprung up, his
dark face deeply flushed, his eyebrows
meeting in "a frown.
'What an asseou are, Berghaus, to
come poking behind mel What must
she have thought he exclaimed, in
voice deep with annoyance.
''lt was that COMPOUNDED, meddling
fool of a cabman. I'd like uncommon

mann, recoiling, his face, too, flushed,
and looking intensely foolish.
81 hope she's pleased with her neigh
bors," said Philip, the flush still on his
face, as he plunged his hands into his,
pockets, and strobe about the room-a
performance rendered less impressive
than it might have been from the fact
that two strides and half of his long
legs devoured all the space at his COM
mind.
"Well, it doesn't much matter"
said Hermann, consolingly. "No one
knows his next door neighbor in streets
| like this. And if she's musical she'll
soon have her revenge, for you'll hear
every blessed note she plays, and you'll
| soon wish her--sOmewhere. "
"You assp' was all his friend said.
planting himself in a chair, in the dark
est and remotest corner of the room.
"Well, come, Massey! Draw it
mild, " suggested Hermann, with sus-
picion of pique in his tones.
"Pretty fools we must both have
lookedn' Philip continued to mutter to
himself, "and so beastly rude, too
"Well, shall we go out?" said Her
mann.
Out--whereP"
"To the cricket-field. Or-I believe
the girls said they were going to play
croquet tonight Come to our place,
and let's see what they are doing"
/ "Well," said Philip. Perhaps
we'd better, and had favor to ask o.
Miss Berghaus, too"
Come along, them" said Hermann
ioyfully; and they left the house, care
fully avoiding so much as a glance
toward the windows next door.
