CHAPTER l.

Wherein Fortune Turns Her Wheel
At ten o'clock on morning in October
~ dazzling, sunlit morning, after hours of wind
dashed rain-a young man hurried out OF
Victoria station and lodged the traffic and the
mud pools on his way toward Victoria-st.
Suddenly he was brought to stand by an TN
usual spectacle. A procession of the unemployed
was sauntering out of Vauxhall Bridge Road into
the important street. Being men of leisure.
the processonists moved slowly. The alert
pedestrian who had just emerged from the station
did not grumble at the delay; he even turned it
to advantage by rolling and lighting a cigarette.
The ragged regiment filed past, soiled, frayed,
hopeless looking gang.

the pavement and watch them. Like him. it would
