AT THE TOP.
Edwin was the pride and joy of his parents' heart, for so highly had he distinguished himself at school that everyone foresaw a brilliant career for him. "Ay, my boy!" exclaimed the father proudly. "We expect great things of you! Fame is an elusive ladder, but you'll climb it." Then Edwin received some good, sound advice, after which he went out into the hard, cruel world to make his fortune. Five years later Edwin returned home. "I've climbed the ladder," he said to his father. "I l^new you would," declared the proud parent. "I told you you'd get to the top." "Yes; I've been at the top." His voice dropped. "I'm a window cleaner now."
