Running through the valley was a little jbrook of brown water. By backing oil: from the little creek to, get a good start and a quick jump, he would have landed upon the other side of the creek, where the road was visible that led homeward. I But the man declinedUhe certainty of being on the home side of the creek which offered itself to him, and he kept along in the tangled, pathless, Weed-filled meadows, and when a mile and more farther down stream, had to wade up to his knees to get over fo the road nearby. Such is life in regular business or Speculations. We are easily drifted from the harrow, safe paths, .and sometimes get sub merged in difficulties that we could have avoided and so have saved more than our ruined shoes and spoiled clothes from wading out of an ever deepening little river.
