LONDON. April 4-Disheartened
because he had failed In an examina-
tion, 17-year-old Joseph F.. E. Bailey,
grandson of the late Lord Glanusk
and nephew of the present peer, de-
cided to seek his fortune among the
laboring classes and for a little more
than month he spent a hard work
ing, but relatively happy time
making good" in his own estimation
and proving to his satisfaction that
he could at least earn his living
without the aid of his aristocratic
relatives.
Now he has been discovered and
brought back to his ancestral halls,
but he contends that he would not
have missed the experience for any
thing.
There was a country wide hue and
cry when young Bailey left the
United Services College, at Maiden
head, without revealing his inten-
tions or destination, but the boy
disguised himself with a false mus
tache and horn trimmed spectacles
and evaded the searchers five weeks
With only a few dollars in his pocket.
Bailey took train from London to
Liverpool, hoping TO ma Work there,
or in the neighboring city of Man
chester. For a fortnight he tramped
both cities without obtaining work
and it was when he was down to his
last cent that he got job in Bootle,
as a factory laborer at a salary of
about Sl1 a week.
The job at Bootle, which included
crawling into ovens to fetch out baked
cork slabs. turned up when things
were looking black. 81 found the
working people very sincere and
sympathetic, he said. They could
see that 1 did not belong to their
class, but they asked no questions
and made me welcome.
Plans for Master Bailey's future
are not disclosed by his aristocratic
family, but 1t is understood that he
is insistent on being allowed to con-
tinue trying to earn his own living
and being permitted to make good in
his own way.
