The three burden-bearers came up

Three women came out profusely

The brown-bearded saint met them
at the foot of the ladder, and es
corted them up the side and across

would be the difficulty which first

tTo he Continued)


In England nine-tenths of the lads
of the middle classes look forward to
nothing more than seat at an office
desk with a certain number OF shil-
lings a week for certain number of
years. To attempt to do anything
else would be to run the risk of social
ostracism. A young man may loaf re-
specially on his family. But he must
on no account start business if it
involves selling anything or producing,
anything with his hands. That would
be bad form. 1t would be getting out
side the groove. Thus for the great
mass of the people England holds no
romance. The lad who thinks he
could do something is discouraged.
Every class distinction IS so definite
ly marked. The whole weight of pub
lie opinion is against the smallest d.
vergence from the ordinary rule.
