down to the footlights to bowl her
acknowledgments of the epplause.
An usher iostled against Rush as he
hurried down the aisle, bearing aloft
a basket of pink and white roses.
Leoni bowed low over the flowers,
kissed them, and backed with the
awkward steps of a ballet dancer to
the wings.
"Leoni gee a basket like that
every night," whispered a confid-
ing usher in Rush's ear. "Some
fellow's dead gone on her, no mis-
take."
"Who is the man?" asked Rush,
knowing very well who had sent
the flowers.
"I don't know; but they say he's
powerful rich, and would marry
Leoni if she'd have im. She won't

life on that." An he ler stop-

always an object of interest, noticed
that. he had all the manners of a

he was preparing to do so; but he
could not prevent his taking theta

not tell John who the lady was
whom Mortimer had annoyed, and
his brother asked no questions.
It was very annoying to Rush
`f.
a Portrait of Leoni ! Do you know
her 4
"Why should I know her 1" said
John, rather shortly "Must a man
know every ballet dancer whose pic-
ture be happens to haver
"Of course not; but this portrait
is s) conspicuous a feature of your
room that I thought you knew the
original."
"Your reasoning is foolish, Rush"
answered John restored to his usual
good humor. "Leoni is the popul-
ar dancer of the hour, she is a very
pretty woman and I adore pretty
women. What more natural than
that I should have her picture, par-
ticularly when any man has the
privilege by paying his price? It's
early yet" continued John, as the
clock on the mantle chimed the hour
of three; "what do you say to a cigar
and some more brandy?" He filled
both glasses, tossed off his own and
pushed the other towards Rush, who
declined.
"No, thank you, John. This
won't do for me. I don't want to
wake up with a headache to spoil
ing influence of Col. Mortimer, so
loath was he to think that John
could go unled among such men.
Rush had no maudlin sentiment on
the subject ; it was not from any
that Col. Mortimer was a guest at , religious scruples that he disliked
this little dinner,but there was noth- � gambling, but because of what he
ing for it and he had to be polite on knew of its hurtfulness. The vic-
his 'brother's account. Mortimer tins he looked upon with pity and
could be very aggreeable when he
tried, and this' was one of the occa
cions on which he had laid himself
out to please. He told amusing an-
ecdotes of the war and of -the world,
and Rush was entertained in spite
..of himself. "He's not half a bad
fellow," said John, when Mortimer
left the room for a moment. "You
will like him better when you know
him better."
It was 9 o'block when tbis little
dinner came to an end. Fortunate-
ly it was Rush's night off at the of-
fice, for he did not feel very much
like working three or four hours
over a desk in a stuffy room. John
proposed that they' should walk
around Madison square, and the
three sauntered out. On their way
they stopped at a florist's, where
John ordered a basket of pink and
white roses.
"For the same party, sir ?" asked
the florist.
Yes ; and send them at once,
please, " answered John. And,
taking a card from a card case, he
enclosed it in a small envelope. and
addressed it. The three walked on
again. When they reached Union
square, Join said, as though seized
by a sudden inspiration, "Let's go
to the opera. It is `Faust' to night;
and there is a good ballet,you know.
I'm more than fond of a good bal-
let."
Rush was at firat ready to embrace
bis brother for the suggestion; but
he could not bear the idea of going
to see Helen Knowlton, particularly
in such a role as Marguerite, in
company with Col Mortimer; so he
answered:
"We're not dressed for the opera,
John; if we were, I should bo de-
lighted
o
lighted to go."
"Hang dress!" answered J
"We'll buy admission tickets, d
stroll in the lobby till the et
comes on. Here's Fourteenth at et.
Left wheel, march?"
They were soon inside the lobby,
and, to John's delight, the corps de -
ball was just coming down the stage.
They stepped inside the glass doors
and former part of the crowd of men
who fringed the we:l.
Was there ever more delightful
waltz music written than that of
"Faustl" Rush thought not; and I
think so, too,
The dancing W.8 encored, and
Leoni, the premier , came tripping
the victimizers with disgust. Josey
was in a fair way of being ruined,
but Rush knew there was no use
speaking to him on the subject. He
would not get argry and fly into a
passion, but he would laugh good
naturedly and tell Rush that losing
a few dollars at cards was not going
to hurt him, and that he didn't pro,;
pose to follow gambling as a profes-
sion; but only as an occasional pas-
time. It would have been easier to
argue with a more violent man, for
John only laughed off words of
warning and advice.
Seeing Leoni at the Academy re-
minded Rush that he not been very
attentive to her of later -and, as she
had been a friend in the hour of
need, he upbraided himself for not
having called upon her, and vowed
that he would do so at the earliest
opportunity. Fearful lest John
should go back to the gambling
table, he proposed walking home
with him, and the brothers left ``The
Club" together. John had rooms
in Twenty-ninth street, and when
they arrived at the door he insisted
upon Rush going in with him, not-
withstanding the lateness of the
hour. "I'll for a penny, in for a
pound," said John, gayly. Rush
was astonished at the splendor of
the rooms. Everything that a lux-
urious taste could suggest for a
bachelor's comfort was to be found
there, from a well stocked buffet to
a well trained valet.
`'Why, John, you live like prince,'
said Rush, looking around in ad-
miration.
"Say rather like ockholder
in the Mutural Divi d Mining
company; that beats the princes
Ruah. "Then, taking a dainty de-
cantor from the buffet, he poured
out a small glass of old brandy.
"There, there's something to warm
the cockles of your heart! Drink
that, and tell me if it isn't good.
Rnsh tossed it down and de-
clared that he had never tasted bet-
ter.
"And you never will, unless you
taste it here. Mortimer has a cor-
ner on that brandy," said be, filling
his glass, "and no one else can get
it."
Rush's eyes roamed about the
apartment, seeing new beauties
every moment, until they rested on
a large colored photograph of Leoni
standing on an easel '`Hello,"there's
a while he felt auprrwely baP ,y

fell to chatting about a proposed
trip to Europe-, whsle Helen devot-
ed herself to Rush. He made his
apologies for the episode of the
masked ball, and she readily forgave
him. Then she asked him why he
had not been to see her, and she
evidently so unconscious of having
given him cause for offence that he
began to think that perhaps he had
been unreasonable. As they talked
about one thing and another, Rush
said,"By the way,this is an anniver-
sary."
"Of what?" inquired Helen.
"Strange that you should cot
guess,"answered Rush. "Twenty-one
years ago to -night I was born." And
he drew himself up to the full dig-
nity of his years.
"What?" said Helen, laugning;
"are you only 21? Why you are a
were boy?" And she seemed so
much amused that Rush felt rat her
annoyed. He was a boy as beards
go: but he was much older than his
years; and yet again he was very
the memory of our pleasant even- boyish. "I am every bit as old as
ing. Good night, old boy; sleep she is, in my feeling," said Rush to
well. Let us see more of each other, himse f, hut, then, Helen was very
John,now that we are together Good
night."
"Good night, hush; you shall see
more than you want of me. Pleas-
ant dreams." And they shook hands
and parted.
As Rush walked home in the cool
morning air he thought over the
events of the evening. He was not
at all satisfied about the Leoni mat-
ter. He felt that John had not
sold him all he knew of the dancer,
nd his heart was stirred to pity
or the girl,for he knew that J ohn's
ascinations for women were irres-
istible. He never for a moment
bought but that Amy Bayliss still
Ield sway over his brother's heart,
nd hie pity was all for Leoni.
CHAPTER XI.
Rush's meeting with Helen
nowlton at the masked ball had
pset all his resolutions. It acted
1pon him like a glass of wino upon
a man who has stopped drinking,
it went to his head and intoxicated
him, and gave him an irresistible
craving far more. He had felt her
oyes upon his; the touch of her hand
bad fallen upon his arm. He
could no more resist going to see her
again than he coeld have resisted
her first invitation to call at her
house. The pride that had been
stung to the quick was "bottled up,"
as he expressed it, and he confessed
to himself that he might as well sur-
render first as last.
"I must not expect her to cale for
me yet. It would be very strange
if she did. What am I to her? -
only one of hundreds and she may
be engaged to that Nest Hastings
now, for all I know. People°say so
and people always know more about
your friends than you do yourself."
Such thoughts as these flew
through the young man's brain as
he bent over his desk at night and
plied the pen, or, blue pencil in hand
boiled columns of copy down to
quarter and half columns. Again
he argued with himself "I owe her
an apology tor flooring that rascal
in her presence: It was very ill
bred of we and I must ask her par-
don."
So on his next "night off" be put
on his dress suit and walked up to
Twentiethstreet.
The veryry thuught
that he was going to see Helen ex-
cited him so much that he could
hardly do justice to the capital Ital-
ian dinnp.K set before him at
his old regtairent. IIe had dressed
himself with the utmost care. "I
never want to appear in her presence
except as a well dressed man," and
this not because he was a dandy,
but because he had heard her say
that she liked a man to dress well
and give his general appearance
a sufficient amount of thought. •
"I cannot bear a dowdy man,"
said Helen one day in Rush's hear-
ing, speaking of a clever fellow of
their acquaintance. "I prefer a
wan to care less for Greek and more
for soap and water. I shudder when
over he shakes hands with me. Such
nails! there is no excuse for it.
There is nothing I like more than a
well kept hand, and nothing I dis-
like more than one that is let run
wild."
Ruah looked stealthily at his
strong, shapely hands, and wonder-
ed what head they came under. On
his way home that night he stopped
at a drug store and bought a box
containing all the paraphrenalia of
the toilette des ongles. From that
time forth he took care of his hands;
and he had his reward; for one day;
in shaking hands with him, Helen
said, "What nice hands you have,
Mr Hurlstonel they are so well kept.
I like to see it." She didn't know
that it was her own doing. Helen's
friends used to say among themselves
that she was too particular and
spoke her mind too freely on these
subjects, but the effect on her ad-
mirers was instantaneous. The mo-
ment a man came to know her, he
began taking care of his hands and
looking after himself generally.
Uncle Lightfoot Myers used to say
that "the colts who trotted around
Helen Knowlton were the best
groomed youngsters in the city,"
and so they were.
When Rush inquired at her door
if Miss Knowlton Was in, he was in
such a state of nervous excitement
that bis voice sounded unnatural to
him She wes in and he was ush•
Children Cry for
young for her Tears.
"Your aunt and Mr Myers seem
to be discussing a very weighty
subject"said Rush, anxious tochange
the conversation.
"Yee, they are" Helen replied;
"they are talking over my Lon don
engagement."
"Are you going to London" ask-
ed Rush, with uneisguised surprise.
"Yea it is all settled except a few
preliminaries. I am to sing at
Drury Lane the coming season, and
Uncle Lightfoot, who gives ns so
much good advice in business mat-
ters, is arranging details with Aunt
Rebecca. I don't want to have
anything to do with the business.
It I have any of that on my mind I
can't sing,and I dont like it anyhow.
Fortunately Aunt Rebecca likes it.
This gave Rush time to recover,
for he was quite stunned by it
London seemed to hint to be at the
other end of the world. How he
wished he was a Monte Cristo, that
he might say, "What do you ex-
pect to make by your trip?" and if
she should reply, "A hundred thous-
and dollars, He would say "Stay at
home, and hero is two hundred
thousand." But, alas ! two hun-
dred dollars would be almost more
than he could command. Oh, why
was she so kind and why did she
look so beautiful on the night when
she announced her departure?
Ile was afraid he would betray
himself; but he must know before
she put the sea between them
whether she was engaged to West
Hastings. If she was, he would re-
tire from the field and wait. He
wouldn't give up even then. If
she was not Pe would stay in the
field and bide his time. Should die
ask her? No; that would be.too bold
a step, and it might make her angry.
While lie was debating in his mind
the bell rang, and the servant an-
nounced Mr Hastings. Rush knitt-
ed his eye brows and cursed his
luck, and Helen looked smilingly
towards the door as West Hastings
entered. If there wail O1 thing

could do well it v' -'. to enteZ a
drawing room, and 1-Lsah could not
but envy his elegant ease. His
bow was courtliness itself, and this
he bestowed upon the inmates of
the room collectively. With Helen
he shook hands, and seated him-
self beside her on the sofa
Rush thought his manner with
her insufferable, but that was
his prejudice. West Hastings was
exceeding deferential to ladies, and
particularly so to Helen -so much
toan
t that she feltit be
so in fact,
outward polish rather than any-
thing coining from the heart.
"Confound his familiarity !" said
Rush to himself. What right, I
should like to know, has ho to si t
there and talk to her in an under-
tone, as if he owned her?" Can it
be possible that they are engaged?"
He looked carefully at her hands,to;
see if there was a tell tale ring there
but her fingers were without orna-
ment. This was something to be
thankful for. Although WestHast-
ings spoke in low tones, Helen did
not. , She tried to draw Rush into
the conversation, but he was too
busy with thoughs of her departure
to notice that any of the conversa-
tion was addressed to himself. She
was going away, and that was all
that he could think about.
"You'll be in London the last of
Ray," said Heating. "Well, I am
a lucky fellow -I shall be there
just at that time; and you must de-
pend on me to show you the sights.
London is an old story to me ; but
to visit the oid acenes in such de-
lightful company will make them
fresh again.
"What's that,you young rascal?"
asked Uncle Lightfoot from the
other side /of the room "going
to be in London with Helen? Go-
ing to witness a new victory of the
Americans over the Britishl Well,
you are a lucky dog. Whefi do you

"On the 3rd on the Germanic,"
was the reply.
"Well, upon my word ! Ts this

Uncle Lightfoot, winking at Aunt

"That is our day and steamer,"
said Helen. ,;`How fortunate we
