What a Young Nan Did.

A college graduate had hardly received
his diploma before he was compelled to
face poverty and family disgrace. His
father, who had been reputed to be
wealthy, was an embezzler and a fugi-
tive from justice. His mother and sisters
were entirely dependent upon his modest
earnings in brokers' Office.
He had planned taking an advanced
course of professional study in architec-
ture. His ideal occupation had to be
abandoned. He was in love with a
charming girl, but ceased to visit her
since marriage was out Of the question.
An opportunity for years travel in Eu-
rope at friends expense was given up.
Year after year he maintained hard,
bitter struggle to make living at IN
congenial employment for his mother
and sisters, to support his father abroad
and to overcome prejudice caused by the
family disgrace. He became a success
full business man, but was prematurely
gray at 40. His life was haunted by the
ghosts of his youthful hopes.
Such lives do not furnish material for
exciting stories. They ire dull and pro-
sale, but are nevertheless heroic. To
give up all that is dear 70 youth and to
be loyal to family obliga tons sometimes
is browning triumph of unselfishness.
