CONTINUED. "What impressed you most in the performance?" "I can tell you what inipreseed sose the most, Helen," exclaimed Mrs Dick Griswold, bursting in upon the interview. "It was in the scene with Tar- talli, when you took the poor old thing's hand and made her come down to the footlights. She hadn't done anything, to be sure, but your manner in insisting upon her shar- ing the applause with you was beau- tiful. It almost made me cry; for although I never heard Tartalli in ber prime I know she used to be a favorite singer, and I always feel the liveliest pity for favorites who have outlived their popularity but who still have to keep before the public to earn their bread and but - .ter. Put that in your paper, my dear sir, and you will have a charm- ing incident," rattled on the vivac- ious Mrs Dick. The reporter thanked her and the prima donna also, and bowed hire - self out of the room, the manager following at his elbow. "The poor fellow didn't get much material for an interview there," thought Rush. "He'll have to make bis excuses to the city editor to=night." The talk- ing was resumed in the dressing - „room, but only in the shape of good nights. West Hastings said some- thing to Uncle Lightfoot in an un- dertone, end the old beau put Mrs •Griswold's arm 'through his. "I'll take you hgme, Mrs Dick; and, if it isn't too late, I'll stop and have n *'^•'"r•ruieber with that lazy Dick of yours, who, I'll wager, is tcasting his toes and reading the stock market reports before the fire." . "I'11 gladly accept your invitation Uncle Lightfoot, and we'll leave West to Helen's tender mercies. , Will you take good care of him, ,- Helen, and keep him out of mis- - chief?" said Mrs Dick: `1f that be possible," replied the prima donna smiling. "But_.in the mean time I shall have to ask him to take a seat in the green room while I get ready for the street." -At this all the visitors retired, -+`'' and Rush hurried off to the room Illewhere up among the "flies," ere he transformed himself from warrior of Troy into a peaceful citizen of New York. CHAPTER IV. xi 1:. street, with just five cents xn' his. packets Hunger got the, better of bis pride, toad he se tifneci` his visit ars tot arrive just at the direr 'hour, 6o'clock, ae the good 'stoma had told hini to dpi when he offered lois hospitality in a general Way. The long walk bad acted as a tonic, and Rush was nearly famished when he reached the house. 13e found Mr Spar at home and delighted to see him. They had a very pleasant chat; but Rush could not quite make up his mind to tell him just how -hard up he was. Perhaps he would feel more confiding after dinner over a bottle of wine. He heard the clock strike 6, half past 6 and finally 7, when bis kind host remarked : "I'm sorry you didn't come out to dinner. We always dine at 4 o'clock on Sundays, to let the ser- vant have a good evening out. She needs the rest, poor thing, and we dine so heartily that we don't get hungry again until the next morn- -ing." (Rush really feared that Mr Spar would see him change color.) "But my wife will be deligbtc.I to get up a little supper; for it must be after your dinner hour." Rush wouldn't listen to such a proposition. thanking his host, he soon bade farewell, and went out into the street. His state of mind was not enviable. He was the pos- sessor of five cents, and he was just four miles from his lodgings. Should be in `his weak state walk home and spend the five cents on something to eat, or should he ride home and go without food? The cravings ofhis stomach answered the question, and, finding a German bake shop open, he bought a five cent loaf of bread. Then he walked over to Central park. Selecting a secluded seat, he ate half of the loaf, put the other half in his pocket for the nt�day', and 'walked wearily back to est Eleventh street. He made up bis mind that night, as he tossed excitedly from one side Of his bed to the other, that he had fooled aW8ry time enough in trying to get a position on the Dawn, and that be would try bis hand to some- thing else if he did not get an as- signment the next morning. He started listlessly down town, and his landlady, as she passed him on the steps, shook her head, and said to herself: "That young man is not getting enough to eat. I've suspected some The first thing Rush Hurlstone did upon awaking the morning after his operatic` experience was to -turn to the amusement column of The Dawn to see what the learned critic of that paper had to say about Miss Knowlton's performance. It was a most flattering critism ; even he could not have asked for anything better. When his eye reached the. last line, however, he was astonish- ed to catch the sub -head, "After the Opera: What the Prima Donna Thinks of her New Role," followed by a• stout column of solid type dee cro ing the scene in the dressing 'room, .the Trojan soldier (Push himself) who stood guard at her door, the appearance of the prima donna among her friends, with her three lines of conversation elaborat- ed into a hundred, and what Mrs Dick Griswold had said worked up into a most dramatic and pathetic incident. Altogether it was as live- ly a piece of reportorial ingenuity as Rush had ever met with. He cut it carefully out and filed it away with the criticism of the opera; and he bought every other New York paper that day and read what it had CO say, preserving the critiques for a scrap book that he intended de- voting exclusively to notices of his new idol. Things were not as promising at the office of the Dawn as Rush had anticipated from bis first interview with the city editor. His funds got lower and lower and still no work came. But he fully determined to brave it out, for he knew his mother could not afford to send him any money from her limited income. He had plenty of clothes and be bad paid his lodging a month in advance, but the ready money for his mems was slowly disappearing. He had given up the seventy-five cent din- neri'at the Italian restaurant and was trying what fifteen cents would do in Wooster street. Five cents served him for many a breakfast. At last he found himself reduced to ten cents, and still no "assignment." There was but one thing to do, he could pawn his watch. He didn't have to walk far along i hatham street before he came to the esta- blishment of an accommodating Semite, who lent him $10 on his timepiece -unfortunately an old fashioned one. In the mean time he had called upon Leoni and had been urged by her and both of her parents to share their savory Italian dinner. He could smell the odor of the spaghetti as he declined, but be did so sorely. The watch money was soon •eaten, and he was about to begin on his gold sleeve buttons, when he thought he would call on Mr Spar at his house and talk over the situation with him out of busi- gess hours. -He selected ,Sunday afternoon, and started out on a walk to the pars' residence, in Ninety-third "Unfortunately, no; I'm quite the qo gentleman of leisule, Aly- time's.. ray own.

Archie entered the room with the dignity of a lord mayor at the great banquet of the year. As they seat- ed themselves at the table, he said to the waiter: "The same breakfart, Louis - only enough for ts*o; and don't let the cook burn those kidneys. I am very particular, you know; and they were a little too brown last week. Now, dear boy," turning to Rush, "tell me something about yourself." "You have whetted my curiosity to hear your own story. Archie Tillinghast as a workingman is some thing I never dream of. You spoke of journalism, so that is your profession, is it, and you are on The Trumpet? What do you do?" "What don't I do, you might ask with greater propriety. Well, I do little odds and ends of every- thing; but my great day is Sunday.

They had not been well connected 'young men are at a particularly intimate at college, but premium, and I are invited none Rush had always liked Archie, be the less because I.write the society cause he was gentle in his manners and because the other students were rather inclined to poke fun at him. They called him a "cad," and jeered him for reading De Mussel , when they wanted him to play football; and they moreover thought that he was too much of a dandy for every qday use. Archie Tillinghast was ;not brilliant, but he" got along in his 'studies much better than some of his brighter companions, probably because leis tastes`tvere more studi- ous and be was industrious. He be- longed to an old and wealthy family, and was somewhat inclined to look down upon the "unwashed." He would rather sit alone in his room than associate with men whom he considered coarse, so in revenge, they called him a "cad." If Archie had been his dearest friend Rush could not have been more delighted to see him than he was just at this moment. He near- ly shook his eye -glasses off in his heartiness. "My dear boy," said Archie, "I never was more pleased in my life. But how is it that you are in New York without letting me know?" "I was waiting to get established, and then I meant to hunt you up." "And aren't you established yet?" "Well, not exactly," said Rusb, with a faint blush. Archie noticed a slight embarrass- ment in his friend's manner and determined to find out what the trouble was -if there was any. - Rush at the same time reinembered that Archie was a man of wealth, or at least that his father was, and hesitated to talk over his affairs with him, lest be should think he wanted to borrow money. "This is luck indeed," said Archie, taking his friend's arm and walking along with him. "It is not often that I am down town so early in the morning, but this is pay day at The Trumpet office, and I hadn't a cent to bless myself with. What's the matter? You look astonished?" "I was astonished for a moment," replied Rush; "but I suppose you are joking. I thought you wore a bloated bondholder, Archie." "So I was, dear boy," said Archie, with a sigh; "but I am so no longer. My father died -rascally executors the old story -mother, the girls and I left penniless; but the worst is over. Come, have breakfast with me at Mouquin's. We'll have devil- ed kidneys and a bottle of wine, and I'll tell yon what little there is to tell. It may amuse you. Then we'll talk over old times and the present -that is, if you are not otherwise engaged." p a, Children Cry for j'Pitcher's Castoria. You're just the man. No one need know it, and it will keep your sto- mach from getting in such a condi- tion as it was in when I found you. You need not be particular about being original; you can work over your Tennyson or your Longfellow; only get in the word Damascene, and your duty's done. Meet me at the club to -morrow with a batch of verses. We'll dine together; and in the meantime I'll see old Penny - packer and have a check ready for you, from which I will deduct $5 that I am going to give you now." "No. Archie, old man, said Rush, pushing away his band, and with dif- ficulty speaking for the lump in bis throat. "Wait till I've earned it. Your kindness has completely upset me, but I can't take your money. I'll gladly try my hand at the soap verses and take my pay when they ale written; but not till then." "Nonsense! What is a friend for if not to help one when he needs it? I shalt really feel hurt, Rush, if you refuse me. I wouldn't treat you as formally. It's only $5, and you will have earned it before mid- night I'll lay a wager. Come, old man, don't make me feel that I am asking you to do something dishon- orable. Much more than a paltry $5 has passed between us at college." "Yes, to be sure there has, but neither of us needed it as much as we do now. It is much easier to borrow money for tomfoolery than for food. But I'll do as I would be -done-b-y;-Ill- take your $5, Archie, and try to think that{ it is old Limes: I feel that this is the turning point, and I can't thank you enough." "Don't mention it, dear boy. I'm sorry you take trifles so serioualy. It all comes of the condition of your stomach. I think you can venture. on eating a fairly hearty dinner to- night and a good breakfast to -mor- row. And then you must dine with me at the club to -morrow night at half past 6 sharp, for I have three receptions and a wedding on hand, By the way, put on your dress coat, for I shall take you to one of the re- ceptions with nie at my uncle Arch- er's. I want you to know my cousin, rtessie Archer. She'a an awfully jolly girl. I'll tell them I'm going to bring you. They will be de- lighted, for they've often heard me speak of you. Come, cheer up, man; you look 50 per cent better already. 'So long,' and don't forget to -morrow night, 'Pow -wow' club, Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street." Archie put out bis hand, and Rush took it with a grip that drove the rings on his friend's fingers into the flesh; but the latter was to polite to wince. Before he could quite man him- self to confront the people in the waiting room of The Dawn office, Rush walked rapidly down Broad- way as far as Trinity church, where he stood for a moment looking through the iron railings of the fence into the the grass grownchurch yard. The clock in the church tower struck 3, which reminded him that the city editor would not be long at his desk; so, with his mind fixed upon the business in hand, the strain on his nerves relaxed, and he walked up the street and ran up the winding iron stairs at the office as lightly as on that hopeful first day, which now seemed so long ago. He had hardly put his foot on the threshold of the waiting room door when the old messenger stepped up to him and said, "Just in time, air. Mr Musgrave sent out here for you only five minutes ago, sir, and I told him this was the first day you had missed in three weeks. I'll go at once and tell him yon are here, sir" -which be did, returning with the message that Mr Mugsave would like to see him. "It never rains but it pours," thought Rush as he walked eagerly to the little room. "Ah, Mr Hurlstone, how tire you? Sorry not to have been able to do anything for you before, but we have been pretty well filled up. - Just at this moment. however, we are short handed, and I want to work up a particular case at once. Do you know where the Academy of Music is?" Rusb looked at Mr Musgrave to see whether he was tioking; but he was busily writing, kind not even looking at him. "I#1 Irving place, I believe." "Quite right. Ir ng place and Fourteenth street. "'have been in - been informed that there is a strike in the orchestra.

I am in great demand from Murray Hill to Mackerelville; they all want me. What it is to be popular! -eh, old fellow?" By this time the breakfast was served. There were more than kid- neys, and it was a most delightful repast; but Rush was not in a con- dition to do justice to it. He had eaten so little for the week past, and such plain food, that even the rich aroma of the kidneys, with their wine sauce, was almost more than he could digest. ',Where's your appetite, old man? You're not eating anything. Per- haps you had a late breakfast, and are not hungry." "On the contrary," said Rush, who was beginning to feel as though he were going to be ill, and that he need have no more pride in the matter, "I have had no breakfast, and I am very hungry -too hungry, in fact, to eat." And he then made a clean breast of it, and told Archie just how he was situated. To say that amiable young man was shocked would be doing injustice to his kind heart. - He was genuinely distressed at his friend's condition; but before be en- tered into particulars he ordered a bowl of bouillon, which was easier of digestion than the devilled kid- neys, and he made Rush eat is and then drink a glass of brandy and soda. Then, when he had got him into better condition, he began by scolding him for not looking up his friends, after which they discussed the situation calmly. "I made up my mini to give The Dawn one more trial," said Rusb, "and then, if there was no work for me there, to try some other paper, or break stones on the highway; hut I certainly would not go back to Farmsted and sponge on my mother. It a chance dons not occur here sooner it will later, and I'm young enough to wait for it." "There is always the chance, but it is devilish slow in coming some- times. Now if you are not too proud I'll put you in the way of a job that will bring you in fifteen or twenty dollars a week, arid need not interfere with your work on The Dawn, if you get any.
