"Come," impatiently spoke Mr. World, as he drew her by the arm, "it

Church-Member. But it is too rough and steep for Mr. World.]




CHAPTER II.

THE BY-PATH.

1. In their journey Mr. World and Miss Church-Member come to the By-Path
leading to the King's Highway; on this Miss Church-Member urges Mr.
World to travel. He defers so decisive a step and defends his attitude
by the use of sophistry.

2. Miss Church-Member, still hoping to win Mr. World to a better path,
forsakes the King's Highway and continues in his company.
