Impossible
,
"
Mrs
.
Morse
laughed
.
"
She
is
three
years
older
than
he
,
and
,
besides
,
it
is
impossible
.
Nothing
will
ever
come
of
it
.
Trust
that
to
me
.
"
And
so
Martin
’
s
rôle
was
arranged
for
him
,
while
he
,
led
on
by
Arthur
and
Norman
,
was
meditating
an
extravagance
.
They
were
going
out
for
a
ride
into
the
hills
Sunday
morning
on
their
wheels
,
which
did
not
interest
Martin
until
he
learned
that
Ruth
,
too
,
rode
a
wheel
and
was
going
along
.
He
did
not
ride
,
nor
own
a
wheel
,
but
if
Ruth
rode
,
it
was
up
to
him
to
begin
,
was
his
decision
;
and
when
he
said
good
night
,
he
stopped
in
at
a
cyclery
on
his
way
home
and
spent
forty
dollars
for
a
wheel
.
It
was
more
than
a
month
’
s
hard
-
earned
wages
,
and
it
reduced
his
stock
of
money
amazingly
;
but
when
he
added
the
hundred
dollars
he
was
to
receive
from
the
Examiner
to
the
four
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
that
was
the
least
The
Youth
’
s
Companion
could
pay
him
,
he
felt
that
he
had
reduced
the
perplexity
the
unwonted
amount
of
money
had
caused
him
.
Nor
did
he
mind
,
in
the
course
of
learning
to
ride
the
wheel
home
,
the
fact
that
he
ruined
his
suit
of
clothes
.
He
caught
the
tailor
by
telephone
that
night
from
Mr
.
Higginbotham
’
s
store
and
ordered
another
suit
.
Then
he
carried
the
wheel
up
the
narrow
stairway
that
clung
like
a
fire
-
escape
to
the
rear
wall
of
the
building
,
and
when
he
had
moved
his
bed
out
from
the
wall
,
found
there
was
just
space
enough
in
the
small
room
for
himself
and
the
wheel
.
Sunday
he
had
intended
to
devote
to
studying
for
the
high
school
examination
,
but
the
pearl
-
diving
article
lured
him
away
,
and
he
spent
the
day
in
the
white
-
hot
fever
of
re
-
creating
the
beauty
and
romance
that
burned
in
him
.
The
fact
that
the
Examiner
of
that
morning
had
failed
to
publish
his
treasure
-
hunting
article
did
not
dash
his
spirits
.
He
was
at
too
great
a
height
for
that
,
and
having
been
deaf
to
a
twice
-
repeated
summons
,
he
went
without
the
heavy
Sunday
dinner
with
which
Mr
.
Higginbotham
invariably
graced
his
table
.
To
Mr
.
Higginbotham
such
a
dinner
was
advertisement
of
his
worldly
achievement
and
prosperity
,
and
he
honored
it
by
delivering
platitudinous
sermonettes
upon
American
institutions
and
the
opportunity
said
institutions
gave
to
any
hard
-
working
man
to
rise
—
the
rise
,
in
his
case
,
which
he
pointed
out
unfailingly
,
being
from
a
grocer
’
s
clerk
to
the
ownership
of
Higginbotham
’
s
Cash
Store
.
Martin
Eden
looked
with
a
sigh
at
his
unfinished
"
Pearl
-
diving
"
on
Monday
morning
,
and
took
the
car
down
to
Oakland
to
the
high
school
.
And
when
,
days
later
,
he
applied
for
the
results
of
his
examinations
,
he
learned
that
he
had
failed
in
everything
save
grammar
.
"
Your
grammar
is
excellent
,
"
Professor
Hilton
informed
him
,
staring
at
him
through
heavy
spectacles
;
"
but
you
know
nothing
,
positively
nothing
,
in
the
other
branches
,
and
your
United
States
history
is
abominable
—
there
is
no
other
word
for
it
,
abominable
.
I
should
advise
you
—
"
Professor
Hilton
paused
and
glared
at
him
,
unsympathetic
and
unimaginative
as
one
of
his
own
test
-
tubes
.
He
was
professor
of
physics
in
the
high
school
,
possessor
of
a
large
family
,
a
meagre
salary
,
and
a
select
fund
of
parrot
-
learned
knowledge
.
"
Yes
,
sir
,
"
Martin
said
humbly
,
wishing
somehow
that
the
man
at
the
desk
in
the
library
was
in
Professor
Hilton
’
s
place
just
then
.
"
And
I
should
advise
you
to
go
back
to
the
grammar
school
for
at
least
two
years
.
Good
day
.
"
Martin
was
not
deeply
affected
by
his
failure
,
though
he
was
surprised
at
Ruth
’
s
shocked
expression
when
he
told
her
Professor
Hilton
’
s
advice
.
Her
disappointment
was
so
evident
that
he
was
sorry
he
had
failed
,
but
chiefly
so
for
her
sake
.
"
You
see
I
was
right
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
know
far
more
than
any
of
the
students
entering
high
school
,
and
yet
you
can
’
t
pass
the
examinations
.
It
is
because
what
education
you
have
is
fragmentary
,
sketchy
.
You
need
the
discipline
of
study
,
such
as
only
skilled
teachers
can
give
you
.
You
must
be
thoroughly
grounded
.
Professor
Hilton
is
right
,
and
if
I
were
you
,
I
’
d
go
to
night
school
.
A
year
and
a
half
of
it
might
enable
you
to
catch
up
that
additional
six
months
.
Besides
,
that
would
leave
you
your
days
in
which
to
write
,
or
,
if
you
could
not
make
your
living
by
your
pen
,
you
would
have
your
days
in
which
to
work
in
some
position
.
