There he found a very different Scene from the one he left. • Men and women were crowding into the place as fast as the man at the ;wicket could take their tickets. Most of the men were in evening dress,lbut all the women wore dome k slimes and masks. There were a few who appeared in fancy dress, but they were the Gerrnen members of .the sooieey. Rush was too young and to en- , thusiastio not to find excitement in the scene, and when the dancing began he thought he had never witnessed anything so brilliant and intoxicating as the movement of thjse many colored dominoes to the usio of the band. As time wore on, the place became more crowded, and Rush recognized among the men many faces that bad become fami- liar to him at the opera and else. where. There was Uncle Lightfoot 'Myers renewing his youth, with a pink domino on his arm; and there was West Hastings lounging against one of the pillars of the balcony and chaffing a Columbine. Rush wondered what Helen Knowlton would think if she saw her friend thus engaged. His thoughts were broken in upon by a voice at his elbow: "My handsome young friend," said a blue domino, taking his 'Arm, "why do you pose in this melan- choly attitude on so festive an occa- sion? This is Romeo's, not Ham- let's, night. Let us walk about among the giddy revelers. I want to see a more cheerful expression on your y;rung face." As they walked out into the lob- by, Rush racked his brain to recog- nize the voice or figure of the mask. His expression showed that he was puzzled. "Ah, you do not recognize me," Oho said. "How sad that makes me feel ! A little disguise and one's identity is gone. I should have known you through twenty dis- guises." And she turned her mask up at him in the moat bewitching manner. "Certainly I have never had the rpleasure of hearing that voice betore --no man could forget so sweet a -thing," said Rush, entering readily into the spirit of the ball. And so bey thrust and parried, until his sk spied a spry old man with „gray side whiskers akar? andabald head, , when she drier ped. Rush's arm as suddenly as she had taken it, and took the other by the hand. "Dear general, I aro so glad to see you! I have been looking for you all the evening, and feared you were not coming.” The general looked pleased,though p: 'puzzled; but this was not his first masked ball, and in a few moments Rush saw him moving off in the di- rection of the supper room, the blue rr domino hanging affectionately on his arm. Before the night was over, Rush learned many:of the ways of masked •'balls, and came to the conclusion that the blue domino was an entire- ly new acquaintance of his and the ,general's. As he started for the press room, he met bis city editor with a Swiss peasant girl on his •arm. "Hello, Hurlstone," said he. And, stopping a monient, he whis- pered, "Get your copy down early, c and then have your fun. You can write it out he"re andisend it down." F3, 'And he, too, passed on in the direc- tion of the supper room. Rush hardly recognized the press room when he retunned to it. In the first place, he could hardly see r . across it for the smoke; and in the second, it was so noise that he did not see how it would he possible to write there. "Hello, here's Hurl - stone?" shouted the . • -liter of a morning paper whom Il h had seen at different places, but Tied never had the occasion to speak 1. "Come, fill up your glass and take a cigar," added the reporter, a -iting the action to the word; unl he took a handful of cigars; one 1 lighted, the others he nut in is pocket. There was a dozen t 'n sitting around the table, some icing, and all smoking.

John was a spendthrift, and like most spend- thrifts, he spend his money on him- self. If he spent it upon other people it was in the way of his own pleasure. He did send hand- some presents to Amy Bayliss— useless things that presented a lot of money but little taste. A sales- man could always sell him an un- salable article by repreeentiug it to be something unique and adding that few men would have the taste to appreciate its beauties and pay the price. The consequence was that Amy Bayliss had a collection of costly odds and ends that she could only praise for their costliness and because "dear John" had taken the trouble to send them to her.There were paper cutters of frosted silver, and jewel boxes much too fine for her modest dressing table, and mother-of-pearl card cases which had long since gone out of fashion ; and every Saturday regularly came a box of cutlflowers. These delight- ed Amy more than anything else. "Dear John never forgets to send me flowers every Saturday. No matter how busy be may be, he is not too busy to send these lovely roses to me."
