How can we FIND out the cause of this condition? W e might try common sense: according to Ortega y Gasset, Goethe was caught in a constant struggle with himself over how to live his life, and his alleged dep ression was one sign of his "living contrary to his vocation." *(2) But this i s perhaps too simple, too superficial an explanation- at least for those who s eek "deeper" answers.

"Never mind; little girls shouldn't ask questions," returned Jo sharply. Now if there is anything mortifying to our feelings, when we are young, it is to be told that; and to be bidden to "run away, dear," is still more trying to us.

So Jurgis thought, and so he spoke, in his bold, free way; very much to his surprise, he found t hat it had a tendency to get him into trouble.

It seemed strange, it was even terrible, when you came to FIND out the universality of the sentiment; but it was certainly the fact- they hated their work. They hated the boss es and they hated the owners; they hated the whole place, the whole neighborh ood- even the whole city, with an all-inclusive hatred, bitter and fierce.

No land appeared within a radius of fifty miles. But fifty miles could be easily crossed either by Malay proas or by the large Polynesian canoes. Everything depended on the position of the island, of its isolation in the Pacific, or of its proximity to archipe lagoes. Would Cyrus Harding be able to FIND out their latitude and longitude w ithout instruments? It would be difficult. In the doubt, it was best to take p recautions against a possible descent of neighboring natives. The exploration of the island was finished, its shape determined, its features made out, its extent calculated, the water and mountain systems ascertained.

Pleasure, after all, is a safer guide than either right or duty. For hard as it is to know what gives us pleasure, right and duty are often still harder to distinguish and, if we go wrong with them, will lead us into just as sorry a plight as a mistaken opinion concerning pleasure. When men burn their fingers through following after pleasure they FIND out their mistake and get to see w here they have gone wrong more easily than when they have burnt them through f ollowing after a fancied duty, or a fancied idea concerning right virtue.

So from top to bottom the place was simply a see thing caldron of jealousies and hatreds; there was no loyalty or decency anywh ere about it, there was no place in it where a man counted for anything agains t a dollar. And worse than there being no decency, there was not even any hone sty. The reason for that? Who could say? It must have been old Durham in the b eginning; it was a heritage which the self-made merchant had left to his son, along with his millions. Jurgis would FIND out these things for himself, if h e stayed there long enough; it was the men who had to do all the dirty jobs, a nd so there was no deceiving them; and they caught the spirit of the place, an d did like all the rest.

We talked it over, an d by and by Jim said it was such a black night, now, that it wouldn't be no ri sk to swim down to the big raft and crawl aboard and listen- they would talk about Cairo, because they would be calculating to go ashore there for a spree, maybe; or anyway they would send boats ashore to buy whisky or fresh meat or something.
