He has dabbled with jobs on the Tyneside docks, and jeseni the hard way that dock work is not, for dabblers. He has had odd labouring jobs. But he has never had work holding out any pros- pect of permanence, or any to lighten his anxiety about provid- ing for his family.

Two months ago Harold de- in cided his only hope lay coming south to London. He come with his family's blessing, and no doubt there was many a family conference to thresh out cons of such a the pros and perlious venture before he was allowed to take the drastic step.

Why wo any St. Vitus Dance.

This name is given to chorca, a nervous disease which makes the sufferer shake and jump convul sively as though he were dancing. The superstia tion arose in Germany that whoever danced be fore the statue of St Vitus (a Christian martyr of the year of 303 A.D.) on his feast day, 15th June, would be assured of good health for a year. This custom became

a mania

so that unfortunates suf fering from chorea were said to be dancing before St Vitus, or "having St Vitus Dance".
