No challenge came, but from vari-

1t was strange, but a mutually
shared impulse seized both of these
young men at the same time. AT the
edge of Darlington summer cottage

him. He entered the fenced-in space

What Is Prime of Life?

At what period does man attain his
prime? There seem to be as many
answers as there are men. "The prime
of life" seems to be an elastic term.
Dean Swift spoke of man of twenty
eight as already past his prime. George
Eliot put it at about forty-four. In
common parlance we should say it usu-
ally means in the forties.
If we take the words in a purely
physical sense. as we suppose they
were taken in Swift's time, we should
say that twenty-five was the prime of
life.
If we take them to mean the prime
of characterize age when a man is
most himself, when all his powers.
mental and moral, are at their height.
when. in fact. his individuality is most
marked-it may be said to differ with
different individuals, but it comes sell
dom before thirty.
