He made a his mind to leave
OW. as a last resource, and turn-
ing to the heading of Sweden and
Norway looked out the address of
the Consulate. He must go there
the first thing the next day, and get
what advice and help he could.
There was also in Fleet Street a
Soandinavin club; be would go
thereand get a list of the members,
its was possible that he might meet
with some familiar name, and at
any rate he should hear his own
language spoken, which in. itself
Would, be a relief. This arranged,
he tried to steep, but with little
lsucaes ; his brain was too much
ggerwrought with the terrible re-
versala of fortune he had met with
that day, with the sorrows that had
-come to him, not as
"Single spices,
Hut in battalions 1"
•Whenever. he did for a_few min-
utes sink into a doze, it was only
to be haunted by the most horrible
dreams, and when morning came he
was ill and feverish, yet as deter-
mined as before to go through
with the programme he had mark-
ed out.
The Swedish Minister received
him very kindly, and listened to as
much of his story as would bear
telling, with great patience. 'It is
a very hard case,' be said. 'The
English firm perhaps consulted
i their own pockets in making this
new arrangement; but to break off
• .an old connection so suddenly, and
as it chanced' at inch a trying mo-
..
Mont, was hard lines. What sort
Of people are they, these Morgans?
*You have met them?'
'Oh yes,', said Frithiof coloring.
'One of the brothers was in Norway
4 this summer, came to our house,
•~-1ind -with -us,- -professed the great-
est friendliness, while all the time
he must have known what the firm
was meditating.'
'Doubtless came to see bow the
land lay,' said the Minister. 'And
what of the other brothel?'
'I saw him yesterday,' replied
Frithjof. 'He was very civil; told
me the telegram had been sent off
that morning about the affair, as it
would not bear delay, and spoke
very highly of my father. Words
cost nothing, you see.'
The Consul noted the extreme
bitterness of the tone, and looked
searchingly into the face of his vis-
itor. 'Poor fellow!' he reflected;
**he starts in life with a grievance,
and there nothing so bad for a
• maxi ,;ass- that. A fine, handsome
too. If he stays eating his
heart out in London he will go to
the dogs in no time.'
'See,' he said, 'these Morgrns,
though they may be keen business
men, yet they are after all human.
When they learn at what an un-
lucky time their telegram arrived,
it is but natural that they should
regret it. Their impulse will be to
help you, I should advise you to
go to them at once and talk the af-
fair over with them. If they have
" any proper feeling they will.offer
you some sort of employment in
this now Stavanger branch, or they
might, perhaps, have some opening
for -you in their London house.'
'I cannot go to them,' aaid Fiith-
1-of in a choked voido. 'I would
rather die first.'
'I can understand,' said the Con-
sul, 'that you feel very bitter, and
that you resent the way in which
they have behaved. But still I
think you should try to get over
'that. After all they knew nothing
of your father's affairs; they did not
intentiorally kill ,.him. That • the
two disasters followed so closely on
each other was but an accident.'
'Still 1 would never accept any-
thing from them; it is out of the
ouestion,' said Frithjof.
'Exoute me if I speak plainly,'
maid, the Consul. 'Yon are very
young, and you know .but little of
the world. If you allow yourself
to be go'verned by pride of this sort
you cannot hope to get on. Now
:tura it over in your mind, and if
•ybu do not feel that you can see
these people, at any rate write to
them.'
'I cannot explain it all to you,
sir,' said Frithjof. 'But there are
private reasons which make that
altogether impossible.'
The blood had mounted to his
forehead, his lips had closed in a
'straight line; perhaps it was be -
Carse they quivered that he eons-
, pressed them so.
'A woman in the question,' re -
fleeted the Consul. 'That compile -

that he should leave Lohdon.' Then
aloud, 'If you feel unable to apply

strongly to try America. Every

Everything now is overcrowded, s

a letter of introduction to Her
Sivertsen; he might possibly fin
you temporary work. Ho is tb
author of' that well known book o
Norway, you know. Do you kno
your way about yeti'
'Pretty well,' said Frithjof.
'Then there is his address -
Museum Street. You had bette
take an omuibus at the Bank. Any
of the Oxford Street ones will put
you down at the corner, by Mudie's.
Let me know how you get on; I
shall be interested to hear.'
Then with a kindly shake of the
hand Frithjof found himself dis-
missed, and somewhat cheered by
the intervietw, he made his way to
theaddress Which had been given
him.
Herr Sivertsen's rooms were of
the gloomiest; they reeked of tobac-
co, they were ill lighted, and it
seemed to Frithiof that the window
could not have opened for a week.
An oblique view of Mudie's library
was the only object of interest to
be seen without, though by cran-
ing one's neck, one could get just a
glimpse of the traffic in Oxford
street. He waited for some min-
utes wondering to himself how a
successful author could tolerate
such a den, and trying to imagine
from the room what sort of being
was the inhabiter thereof. At
length the door opened, and a gray-
haired man of five and fifty, with a
hilge forehead and "somewhat stern,
square jawed face, entered.
'I have read the Consul's letter,'
he said, greeting Frithiof and mo-
tioning him to a chair. 'You want
what is very hard to get. Are
you aware that thousands of men are
seeking employment and are unable
to meet with it?'
'I know it is hard,'said Frithjof.
'Still I have more chance here
than in Norway, and anyhow I
mean to get it.' The emphatic
way in which he uttered these last
words made the author look at him
more attentively.
'I am tired to death of young
men coming to me and wanting
help,' he remarked frankly. 'You
are an altogether degenerated race,
you young men of this generation;
in my opinion you don't know what
work means. It's money you want
not work.'
`Yes,' said Frithjof dryly, 'you
are perfectly right. It is :money
that I want.'
Now Herr Sivertsen had never
before met with this honest avow-
al. In reply to the speech which
be had made to many other applic-
ants he had always received an
eager protestation that the speaker
was devoted to work, that he was
deeply interested in languages, that
Herr Sivertsen's greatest hobbies
were his hobbies too. He liked
this bold avowal in his secret heart,
though he had no intention of let-
ting this be seen. 'Just what I
Maid?' he exclaimed. 'A pleasure
seeking, money grabbing genera-
tion. •What is the result? I give
work to be done, and as long as
you can get gold you don't care how
the thing isscamped. Look here! He
teak up a manuscript from the table.
`I have paid the fellow who did
this. He is not only behind time,
but when at last the work is sent
in it's a miserable perforamance,
bungled, patched, stamped, even
the hand writing a disgrace to civ-
ilization. It's because the man
takes no pride in the work itself,
because has not a spark of interest
in his subject. It just means to
him so many shillings, that is all.'
'I can at least write a clear
hand,' said Frithjof.
'That may be; but will you put
any heart into your work? Do you
Dare for culture? for literature? Do
you interest yourself in progress? do
you desire to help on your genera-
tion?'
'As far as I am concerned,' said
Frithjof bitterly, 'the generation
will have to take care of itself. As
for literature, I know little of it
and care less; all I want is to make
money.'

, in spite of constant failures this
eI never left him.
He tramped down to Vauxhall
✓ and began to search for lodgings,
d looked at some half dozen sets, and
e finally lighted on a clean little
n house in a new looking street a few
w hundred yards from Vauxhall Sta-
tion. There was a card up is the
window advertising rgoms to let.
He rang the bell and was a little
✓ surprised to find the door opened
to him by a middle aged woman
who was unmistakably a lady,
though her deeply lined face told of
privation and care, possibly also of
ill. temper. He asked the price of
the rooms.
'A sitting room and bedroom at
fifteen shillings a week was the
reply.
'It is too much, and besides I
only need one room,' he said.
'I am afraid we cannot divide
them.'
He looked disappointed. An
idea seemed to strike the landlady.
'There is a little room at top you
might have,' she said, 'but it would
not be very comfortable- It would
be only five shillings a week, in-
cluding attendance.'
`Allow me to see it,' said Frith-
jof.
He felt so tired and ill that if she
had shown him a pigstye, he would
probably have taken it merely for
the sake of settling matters. As it
was, the room, though bare and
comfortless, was spotlessly clean,
and, spite of her severe face, he
rather took to his landlady.
'My things are at the Arundel
Hotel,' he explained. 'I should
want to come in at once. Does
that suit you?'
'Oh yes,' she said, scaning him
closely; 'Gan you give us any re-
ferences?'
'You can, if you wish, refer to
the Swedish Consul, at 24 Great
Winchester Street.'
'Oh, you are a Swede,' she said.
'No, I am a Norwegian, and have
only been in London since yester-
day.'
The landlady seemed satisfied,
and having paid his five shillings
in advance Frithiof went off to
secure his portmanteau, and by
five o'clock was installed in his
new home.
'Did I not tell you so?' roared
Herr Sivertsen. 'It is the accurs-
ed gold which you are all seeking
after. You care only for money to
spend on your own selfish indulg-
ences. You are all alike! A worth-
less generation!'
Frithiof rose.
'However, worthless, we un•
luckly have to live,' he said coldly.
'And as I can't pretend to be in-
terested in oulture,' I must waste
uo more time in discussion.'
He bowed and made for the
door.
'Stay,' said Herr Sivertsen; 'it
will do no' harm if you leave me
your address.'
'Thank you,brlt at present I have
none to give,' said Frithjof. 'Good
morning.'
He felt very angry and very
sore hearted as he made bis way
Pitcher's Castoria.
It was well that he had lost no
time in leaving his hotel, for dur-
ing the next two days he was un-
able to quit his bed, and could
only console himself with the re-
flection that at any rate be had a
cheap roof over his head and that
his rent would not ruin him.
Perhaps the cold night air from
the river had given him a chill on
the previous night, or perhaps the
strain of the excitement and suf-
fering had been too • much for him.
At any rate he lay in feverish
wretchedness, tossing through the
long days and weary nights, a
misery to himself and an anxiety
to the people of the house.
He discovered that his first im-
pression had been correct. Hiss
Turnour, the landlady, was well
born; she and her two sisters -all
of them now middle aged women -
were the daughters of a country
gentleman, who bad either wasted
his substance in speculation or on
the turf. He was long since dead,
and left behind him the fruits of
his selfishness, three helpless wo-
men, with no particular aptitudes
and brought up to no particnlar
profession. They had sunk down
and down in the social scale, till it
seemed that there was nothing left
them but a certain refinement of
taste, which only enabled them to
suffer more keenly, and the family
pedigree, of which they were proud,
clinging very much to the peculiar
spelling of their name, and strug-
gling on in 1 heir little London
house, quarrelling much among
themselves, and yet firmly deter-
mined that nothing on earth should
part them. Frithiof dubbed them
the three Fates. He wondered
sometimes whether after long years
of poverty, be and Sigrid and Swan-
hild should come to the same mis-
erable condition, the same hopeless,.
cold, hard spirit, the same pinched,
worn faces, the same dreary mono-
tonous lives.
The three Fates did not take
much notice of their lodger. Miss
Turnour often wished she had had
the sense to see he was ill before
admitting him. Miss Caroline,
the youngest, flatly declined wait-
ing on him, as it was quite against
her feelings of propriety. Miss
Charlotte, the middle one of the
three, who had more heart than the
rest, tried to persuade him to see a
doctor.
'No,' he replied, 'I shall be all
right in a day or two. It is nothing
but a feverish attack. I can't af-
ford doctor's bills.'
She looked it hint a little corn -
passionately, his poverty touched a
chord in her own life.
'Perhapa the illness has come in
Children Cry for
erdelr that you bavntjtl?e to think,'
sbe aid tllgrdly,
She was a very small little wo-
man, like a white wvuse,, but Tcith-
tof had i*peedily found that,she was
the only cue of the three from
wheel be could expect any help.
She was the snubbed one of the
family, partly because she was timid
andentle partly gentle,
p t y because she had
lately adopted certain religious
views n which u o '
the other two
looked down with the most
supreme contempt.
Frithjof was in no wood to re-
spond to her well meant efforts to
convert him, and used to listen to
her discourses about the last day
with a stolid indifference which
altogether baffled her. It seemed
as if nothing could possibly rouse
him.
,she would say as she left
the room with a sad little shake of
the head, 'I shall be caught up at
the second Advent, >i am not all
sure that you will be.'
The eldest Miss Turnour did not
trouble herself at all about his spir-
itual state; she thought only of the
risk they were running and the
possible loss of money.
'I hope he is not sick with any
infectious disease,' she used to re-
mark a dozen times a day.
And Miss Charlotte said nothing
but silently thanked Heaven that
she had not been the one to accept
the new lodger. .
CHAPTER X1
There is no suffering so severe as
that which we perceive to be the
outcome of our own mistaken de-
oidion. Suffering caused by our own
sin is another matter -we feel in
some measure that we deserve it.
Bnt to have decided hastily, or too
hopefully, or while some false view
of the case was presented to us, and
then to find that the decision brings
grievous pain and sorrow, this is
cruelly hard.
It was this consciousness of his
own mistake which preyed upon
Frothiof's mind;as he tossed through
those long, solitary hours. Had he
only insisted on speaking to
Blanche's uncle at Balholm, or on
at once writing to her father,: all
might have been well -his father
yet alive, the bankruptcy averted,
Blanche his own. Over and over
in his mind he revolved the things
that might have happened but for
that fatal hopefullness that had
proved his ruin. He could not con-
ceive now why he had not insisted
on returning to England with
Blanche. It seemed to him incred-
ible that he had stayed in Norway
merely to celebrate his twenty-first
birthday, or that he had been per-
suaded not to return with the Mor-
gans because Mr Morgans would be
out of town till October. His san-
guine nature had betrayed him, just
as his father had been betrayed by
bis too great hopefulness as to the
Iceland expedition. Certainly it is
true that sanguine people in partic-
ular have to buy their experience
by bitter pain and loss.
By the Saturday morning he was
almost himself again as far as phys-
ical strength was concerned, and
his mind was healthy enough to
turn resolutely away from these
useless breedings over the past,
and to ask with a certain amount
of interest, 'What is to be done
next?' All is not lost when we are
able to ask ourselves that question;
the mere asking stimulates us to
rise and be going, even thuurh the
direction we shill take be utterly
undecide 1.
When Miss Charlotte camp to in-
quire after her patient, she found to
her surprise that he was up and
dressed.
'What!' she exclaimed. 'You
are really well, then!'
'Quite well, thank you,' he re-
plied in rather a cold tone of voice
which had lately become habitual to
him. 'Have you a newspaper in
the house that you would be so
good as to lend me?'
'Certainly,' said Miss Charlotte,
her face lighting up as she hasten-
ed out of the room, returning in a
minute with a special organ of the
religious party to Which she belong-
ed. 'I think this might interest
you,' she began timidly.
'I don't want to be interested,'
said Frithjof dryly. 'All I want
is to look through the advertise-
ments. A thousand thanks, but I
see this paper is not quite what I
need.'
'Are you sure thatyou know what
you really need?' she said earnestly,
and with evident reference to a
deeper subject.
Had she not been such a genu-
ine little woman, he would have
spoken the dry retort, 'Madam, I
need money,' which trembled on his
lips; but there was no suspicion of
cant about her, and in spite of his
bitterness still retained much of
his Norwegian courtesy. •
' You see, he said 'smiling
a little, ' if I do not find work
I cannot pay my rent, so I must
lose no time in getting some situat-
ion.'
The word, ' rent ' recalled her
eldest sister to Miss Charlotte's
mind, and she resolved to say no
more just at present as to the other
matters. She brought him one of
the daily papers, with a little sigh
of disappointment removed the re-
ligious ' weekly, ' leaving Frithjof
master of the columns headed ' Sit-
uations vacant. '
Alas ! how short it was compared
to the one dedicated to ' Situations
wanted.'
There was an editor reporter.

a 'gentleman needed for the can-
vassing and p,ibllahiug department
of a weekly,' but he must be pas
sassed not only of energy but o
experience. Agents were need for
steel pens, toilet soap, and boys'
b t
clothes, a no novices need apply.
Even the advertisement for billiard
hands was qualified by the two
crushing wads, 'experienced only.'
'A correspendence clerk wanted'
made bio took hopefully at the
lines which followed, but unluckily
a knowledge of Portuguese was de-
manded as well as of French and
German; while the corn merchant
who wou'd .receive a gentleman's
son in an office of good position
was prudent enough to add the
words, 'No one need apply who is
unable. to pay substantial premium.'
Out of the whole list thele were
only two situations for which he
could even enquire, and he soon
found that for each -of these there
were hundreds of applicants. At
first his natural hopefulness reas-
serted itself, and each morning he
would set out briskly resolving to
leave no stone unturned; but when
days and weeks had passed by in
the monotonous search, his heart
began to fail him;• he used to start
from the little back street in Vaux-
hall doggedly, dull despair eating
at his heart, and a sickening, aver
present consciousness that he was
only an insignificant unit strugg-
ling to find standing room in a
world where selfishness and money
grubbing reigned supreme.
Each week brought him of course
letters from Norway, his uncle
sent bio letters of introduction to
various London firms, but each let-
ter brought him only fresh disap-
pointment. As the Consul had
told him, the market was already
overcrowded, and though very pos-
sibly he might have mat with work
in the previous summer when all
was well with him, no one seemed
inolined to befriend this son of a
bankrupt, with his bitter tone and
proud bearing; the impression he
gave every one was that he was an
Ishmaelite with his . hand against
every man, and it certainly did
ream that at present every man's
hand was against him.
