But this New England youth, fresh from the charm of his books and from Academic hopes and air, did not easily surrender his pur- pose. He never surrendered one. Always it had to be wrung from him. Here in his new home he began the study of medicine. But persistent Fortune, having its own aim and fol- lowing its own road, though seeming to move blindly, a second time intervened to thwart his 28 professional plans. His health failed him. His great strong lungs were cramped over his books and dema...nded open air and freer play : his muscles craved room to stretch themselves and vigorous work to swell them into strength : and his eyes — perhaps a little weary — coveted a wider sweep over broader zones than the pages he forced himself to read. That settled it. Accident and rebellious nature met him at the forks of the road, as they often do. He had reached that interesting and fateful moment in a young man's life when he chooses his work ; when of all the roads radiating from his feet and ending far apart he must select out one while yet unable to trace any.
