It has become a custom to make Gymnasium students of all children. The merchants, the nobles, the commoners —all are adjusted to match the same colour. They dress them in gray and teach them all the same sub- jects. They grow man even as they grow a tree.

The coffin is already waiting for us old people. Ye-es ! It may be that about fifty years hence, no one will believe that I lived in this world. I, Anany, the son of Savva, by the surname i64 THE MAN WHO WAS AFRAID of Shchurov. So ! And that I, Anany, feared no one, save God. And that in my youth I was a peasant, that all the land I possessed then was two desyatins and a quarter ; while toward my old age I have hoarded up eleven thousand desyatins,^\ forests, and perhaps two millions in cash." " There, they always speak of money !
