unsatisfactory for him. He was dis
contenied from q number of causes
and was net getting out of the course
what satisfied him. He had real pride
in keeping up his rank in class. how
ever. and in spite Of his troubles he
managed TO retain interest enough In
his regular work to do his best.
There was another matter, also, that
began TO interest him. and. for n time
at least. it drew his mind away from
thoughts OF Willis.
His paper route was in the heart OF
the city and took him into stores, bust
ness offices Of lawyers and doctors and
into some places that he knew were
evil. There was one place. especially
q large room at the top of an office
block that he very soon came to under
stand was nothing more nor less than
professional gamblers resort. Gen,
orally he simply opened the door and
flung the paper in without stopping
He had too many stairs to climb and
too big a load Of papers to stop any
where on the route. But occasionally
as men were going in and out. as he
came up TO the door. instead of throw
ing the paper down inside where they
would step on it, he walked in and put
the paper on a table. The proprietor
of the place one day asked him to dc
so every time, as his customers care
lessly kicked the paper on the floor If
it was thrown down there.
So. after awhile. as Edward fell into
the habit of entering the room regu-
larly, he gradually came to understand
just what was going on there. There
was an ordinance in Raynor that win
ter against gambling devices; but II
appeared to be dead letter, and there
was hardly a pretext of secrecy about
and the tables. In this particular
place the violation of the law was
open and bold. Crowds of young men
thronged 1t every night. One evening
when the paper was delayed by an &C.
cident and the carriers were all two
hours late, Edward noticed when he
went in several college men from the
fast set, and among them Willis, who
was trying one Of the new machines
recently set up in the establishment.
1t was this sight of Willis in this
place that really started Edward to
think about the iniquity of the whole
business. We have spoken of his
wholesome horror of the vices of
gambling and betting. This horror
was Unborn in him. With all his
faults of self righteousness, his firm
love Of truth and fairness gave him a
real feeling of Indignation toward
such n vice as gambling, and the sight
