for four hardy and strenuous years.
While Rud Whitlow pursued his
studies at Camford, such as they
were, the disintegration Of the civ
1lization into which he had been
born went on steadily. Human So
ciety had In fact been progressing
too fast: it had slipped up on mech
anism and dislocated its class dis
ciplines and traditions. It was in
a bad way: 1t was possibly in need
OF major operation. History was
passing into a new and very per-

alteration. The, social cog-wheels
were failing to mesh with one an
other and they ground and jammed
more and more violently. At first
he did not apprehend this at all
clearly, but the perception of it
seeped into his mind.
1t did not take our hero long to
realize the advancing malaise Of his
world. Hir,t of disillusionment, i'm
palpable but cumulative, gathered
in his consciousness. Doubt accumu-
lated in his mind and would not
be dispelled. The ladder of aca-
demic competition and Of promo

BY HI. G. WELLS,

CHAPTER III: IDEALS, ETC.
Rud's mother puzzled about him
and tried to feel loving and proud
about him. If she had been quite
frank with herself, she would have
confessed to herself that this dome
proved son she had borne was lit
tie cad In grain, to whom unfeeling
Suthlessness and greediness and i'm
placable wilfulness were as natural
as night-prowling to a hyena or an
evil odor to Towering privet.
The chances of the genes had
given her that, but her spirit strug-
gled against her luck. 1t was too
much to admit. She knew better
than anyone how easily and meanly
he could lie. She found him pilfer-
ing, and his instincts seemed fur
lively dirty, but she could not think
Of her own flesh and blood in such
harsh terms. His soul is un-
awakened" she told herself, "one
must be patient"
And after all, he was very clever
At school, continually at the top of
his class and passing examinations
with facility. His essays were al
ways excellent" he had an "in-
stinct for phrasing." Of only he
would not boast to her so much
about these thingsD And if he was
horrid, he was interesting. That at
any rate could be said for him. With
a certain compunction, his mother
realized that she thought much more
about him than she did about Sam or
ALI. They were no trouble. They
were ordinary like their father.
You loved them of course, but
calmly. You did not distress YOUR
self about them.
Perceived Moral Obscurity.
For term or so there was an
earnest young assistant master in
the early stages of evangelical mania
1T Hooplady House. He perceived
the moral obscurity in which Rudolf
lived and tried to throw a raw of
light into it. He got the boy to
have long walk with him and, be-
ginning artfully by botanizing, led
the talk to ideals and ones Object
In Life.
1t was mostly his own Object in
Life he talked about. Rud was as
hard to draw as frightened badger.
The earnest young assistant master
conflded that he himself might not
live very long. He believed he was
tuberculous. Once or twice he had
coughed blood.
L Spew up all my dinner some
3imes," said Rud, family interested,
"and last Easter my nose bled some
thing frightful. Until mother got a
cold key"
That isn't like tuberculosis,
which just eats your lungs away"
Don't worms?" said Rud. II saw
. picture the other day of liver fluke
m chaps liver. Something horrid.
You get 1t from eating watercress. j"
The earnest young assistant mas
ter shifted his ground abruptly.
I'D hate to die before I had done
something really good and fine in
the world" he said. Sometimes I
think I'd like to take orders. After
I've got my B. A. London it wouldn't t
be so difficult. And then I could do
Gods work In some dreadful slum.
Or 60 to leper colony. Or be the
chaplain of hospital or prison. 1t
would be fine to go to a war-as a
chaplain, just upholding the fel-
lows. Helping them. Don't you
ever want to do things like that?"
I'D like to be a machine gunner"
said Rud.
"Oh, but that's killing!"
