"The fact that • you are not particularly well posted on foreign matters does not prevent your becoming so. You will be good enough to report for duty at the foreign desk on Monday. This is Wednesday. You have an in- tervening time to enjoy yourself in." Rush was too anxious to do himself credit in his new position to devote these few days to enjoyment; so he • spent most of the time in reading xbe files of the foreign exchanges; for during the past few weeks hil ✓attention had been devoted to local rather than to foreign matters. CHAPTER XVII. With all his fondness for a good time, life was a very earnest thing to Rush Hurlstone. He had a winning post to reach, and the whole bent of his energies was in that direction. Whatever he did in the line of his piofession he did with enthusiasm, not only because it was the profession of his choice, but because success meant Helen, and Helen meant all in life that was worth having. He knew that his chances of winning her as a successful man were better than his chances as au unsuccessful man; and then be had no patience with men who did not get along in the world. Somo of his friends thought this indicated a slight touch of if there had not been so large a party --Bessie Archer, Archie Ttll- iughas, Uncle Lightfoot Myers, Mary Dick Griswold West Hast- ings, and half a dozen more whom Rush did not know as well. He saw very little of Helen; she was monopolized first by one and then by the other, so that he bad no chance of seet,ig her alone. West Hastings was very devoted; and Uncle Lightfoot told him it was "deuced selfish" of him; when be was going to dross over in the steamer with Helen, while the rest of them were going no farther than the gang plank; so Hastings retired from the field with a smile which said as plainly as words could say it, "You see I could have her all the evening, if I would, but I won't be too hard on the rest of you."— From Helen he turned with the easy grace of a society man to Bessie Archer, who, though she did not care much for that style of man, found this particular specimen ra- ther amusing. This last evening at Helen's New York home was a very pleasant one, for Helen was a charming hostess. As it drew to a close they' had some music, and Helen insisted' upon Rush singing a song. He refused so flatly at first as to appear almost rude, but Helen knew this to be embarrassment. She wanted her guests to hear what a fine barytone voice he had; so she sat down at the piano and began playing the accom- paniment of one of Rubinstein's songs. "You will not refuse me the last request I shall make of you for months—possibly the last I shall ever make, for the ocean is very wide, and even the largest ships are frail." She said this with a smile, but more seriously than she intend- ed, and Rush turned a shade paler hardness in his natures but it did at the thought. nothing of the sort. He believed "1 never sang to a room full of that a man with health and strength Iieopte, and l will not do so now; I and a fair amount of intelligence will sing to you." ought to be able to make his way "Thank you very much," said as well as the next. Helen, pretending not to notice the meaning of his words. With such an ingrained belief as`°I thought this he was pretty certain to get along; for, as I heard a wise old fel- low once express himself, "your cock -sure man is bound to succeed." If.it had not been for this trait in tohit after the other guests hid gone. . ITiu beat beat highs iu elc. pectation, for the thought crossed his mind, "Perhaps she has discov ered that I adore her niece, and is going to tell me Chit she will be my friend." Haien stayed in the drawing room after her guests had gone only long enough to thank Rush again for his songs and say that she should expect to see him at the steamer. "So now adieu," she said, giving him her hand. He took it and raised it reverentially to his lips. She thought nothing of this, for they were very good friends, and then she had lived a good deal among foreigners. "Now, Mr Hurlstone;said Aunt Rebecca, taking him by the arm and leading him to the sofa, "I think I understand you pretty well" (Rush blushed to the roots of Lis hair), "and I feel that I can ape9k to you plainly, and not lose time in beating about the bush." you co rid not refuse me." And she began playing the accompani- ment again. She played it beauti- fully. Her accompaniments were an inspiration to a singer. Rush his disposition Rush would have re- stood by the side of the piano where tired from the contest for Iielen he could look at her and not face Knowlton's hand before he. had en the room, though he did not turn tered upon it. He was not such a his back to the guests. He had fool as to think that he only had to i learned enough German to be able tell his love to Helen to have }ler to sing the words in that language, confess a reciprocal passion. He and he felt freer in singing a seliti- knew that if he was to succeed in ;mental song in a foreign tongue. his pursuit of her it would be after 1 On the first two or three notes his voice trembled slightly, but the words and Helen's presence warm- ed him, and he sang as he had never sung before, giving every word its full meaning, and looking straight into her eyes as the rich tones pour- ed from his lips. He sang as he felt, and he threw such an intensity into some of the words that. Uncle Lightfoot Myers, who knew a little German, looked at Aunt Rebecca and winked, as though to say. "An- other victim." When Rush finished singing every one in the room except West IIa,tings came up and complimented him on his voice. "You never sang for ane, Mr Hurlstone," said Bessie, rather re- proachfully. "Why Rush, old man, how you have improved !" exclaimed Archie. "1 remember you used to sing col- lege songs, but I never heard you sing them like that." "When did you get this beautiful voice you have been hiding under a bushel, and who is your teacher?" asked Mary Dick, taking his hand and shaking it enthusiastically. "The voice, such as it is," said Rush, slightly embarrassed, "I sup- pose I came by naturally, but my knowledge of music I owe to the best of teachers, for Miss Knowlton has been kind enough to give me most valuable instruction." "Nonsense!" said IIelen. "I heard him sing a little song one might, and I. saw that he had a musical ear and a very sweet quality of voice; so I made him bring his music around here, and gave him a few hints, which fell upon good soil, for they have borne fruit a hu mired trld." Lush's singing had certainly made a sensation, and they would not let him off until he had sung another song, into which he threw even more passion than he did into the first, for it was "Bid Me to Live." "If Dick Griswold had ever sung to ore like that," remarked the vi- vacious Mary Dick to Uncle Light- foot, "I wouldn't have kept him waiting so long for an answer as I did." West Ilastings didn't enjoy this part of the performance at all, and remarked to Bessie Archer, with an emphasis that made ber smile in spite of herself,' that he despised a singing man and thought German a beastly language. If he could not sing to Helen lie was deter- mined that she should sing to him, and when aha sat down at the piano again he pot the music, a pretty French love sing, on the rack, and stood immediately in front of her as she sang it. Now, as all singers like to have some ono at whom they can look when singing, Ilast- ings turned the pages and caught the glances he coveted and was content. When the evening broke up, as the pleasantest evenings will, Aunt Rebecca called Rush aside and said she wanted to say a few words a long siege. He knew his youth to be a seri- ous obstacle in his path. He was at least five years, younger than Helen, though to the casual observ- er he seemed quite as old as she did for she had been kept very young, and he had always seemed older tb_ an he was. On this point of disparity of years he had been gathering atatia• tics of late, and he was surprised to find how many marriages were made where the husband was young- er than the wife, and he was de- lighted to find that the great ma- jority of such marriages were happy. His grandfather Hurlstone was ten years younger than his grandmother, and to the end of their days they were a loving couple. At 75 sho appeared quite as young as he did at 65, and, although she died first, he did not survive her many months. Rush intended to use this illustra- tion with fine effect when the time came, but just now he was busy preparing himself for his new de- partment. He entered upon his duties as foreign editor with zeal, and as the foreign department of the paper was the one in which its proprietor felt the greatest interest. his work was brought conspicuously to that great man's attention. Rush knew enough French to read the French papers, and he could make out fairly well with the Italian ex- changes. "Why don't you study German?" said Helen; when Rush told her of his new position and his plans. "You will find it a great help in your profession." Rush, delighted to think that she took enough interest in his af- fairs to make a practical suggestion, secured a German teacher the very next day and went to work with a will. Some of the older men on.The Dawn smiled at his enthusiasm. "Why, my dear fellow, you may be put at police reporting tomor- row—you can't tell from one day to the next what your position will be on this paper—and then what good will your language do you?" "Quite as much good as at the foreign desk," replied Rush, with a smile; for you know the mixed nationalities of our criminal classes. But, seriously, I do not consider that the study of languages is ever thrown away, and again, as long as I hold a position on The Dawn I want to learn all that appertains to it." So he went on with his Gorman and Italian, which, if not, absolutely necessary to his position, were of very great assistance. Helen high- ly aproved of itis thoroughnesgand was genuinely pleased at his pro- motion. Aunt Rebecca, for her part, said that she was "prouder of him than of any of her boys." Rush would have been in a very happy frame of mind if it had not been for ITelen's impending departure. The evening before sho sailed he spent at her house, and, while it was always an ecstatic delight to "You can certainly depend on me, Miss Sandford. I am t roud to be your confidant," answered Rush, in steady voice, though he thought it was going to tremble. "Well, then. to the point. I see that you are fond of Helen"— "1 a—" Rush was going to say, "I adore her," but Aunt Rebecca, who was thinking her own thoughts, went on as though he had not made an attempt to speak: "And I be- lieve that he: interests will be safe in your hands. You are the fore- ign editor of The Dawn, I believe." "I have that honor." "Well, then, if our agent sends you an occasional cablegram from London about Helen's success will you put it in your paper ? You know The Dawn is the most im- portant paper to a public singer.— What do you say?" er pereled MAO eight, Weew, the frightened eiginiea}on off,. hers face: when he ,dived,, anl be eras repaid. A Man in a rowboat pickedhisa up, the crowd on the dock cheered, and he parried the rove home in triumph. CHAPTER xvIl:J. Aunt Rebecca was as good as her word, and wrote Rush au amusing letter from London. She had a keen eye for the ridiculous, and the portraits of distinguiahed people she gave him with a stroke of the pen were as oharasteristio as they were clever. While these amused him he was more interested when she spoke of Helen. "The dear child scores a triumph every night she sings; but ber heart is true to Poll, and the applause of all the crowned heads of Europe could not thrill her as do the plaudits of her own countrymen in the dear old Academy." Sometimes Helen would send a message or add a line to Aunt Rebecca's letter, which was a great consolation to lush, for it showed that she still thought of him. He was delighted to know that the vase of forget-me-nots was still blooming, and that Helen, who was devoted to flowers, kept it in he: room and tended it every day with her own dear bands. During the long summer days Rush worked hard at his desk in the office of The Dawn, and time did not drag with him. Helen was coming back in the fall; there was `that to look forward to. In one of her letters Aunt Rebecca mentioned in a casual manner that West Hast- ings had gone over to Paris with a party of Americans, and that she thought he was quite enamored of a western heiress, one of their num- ber. When Rush read this sen- tence he wanted to turn a hand spring in the editorial sanctum, for "I shall be delighted," answered it was proof positive that Hastings Rush, though his hopes had been was not engaged to Helen, that he suddenly dashed to the ground.— should leave her to go to Paris in "Anything your agent sends me the train of a western beauty.

The Children Cry for spend half of it at his country place on the Sound; the other week he devoted to his mother and sisters at Farmsted. Mr Archer's place was about 2 hours from New York by the boat and stood upon a high bluff overlooking the Sound. It was a large, rambling, old fashion- ed house, with numerous additions that had been made from time to time for convenience and comfort. Archie Tillinghast was there at the time of Rush's visit, much to his annoyance, for he could not get it steamer sails at 1.

The thought Rush shook hands good night, troubled him, and he could not help and promised to be punctual; and ; showing it. Bessie saw that he he was. The drive to the dock was was jealous of Rush, but she knew not particularly gay.

And now to bed to dream of our sweethealts— God bless them! You have made me a happy man, Rush, or perhaps I should say a comparatively happy man." And the friends pressed each other's betide and said good night. The next and last week of Rush's vacation was spent with the dear ones at Farmsted. It was the mid- dle of August, and all the village was in a flutter of excitement over the arrival of so distinguished a townsman. Old Bennie Miles, the seedsman, said that he "knowed Rush Hurlstone was going to make a place far himself in New York. There was the right kind o' seed to him. Just give it a chance, and see how it 'ad grow.' And old Aunty Stout,the village charwoman, said she "could hey told any one that that there young feller was born for a marbill palish; and if what she hearn tell was true, his of- fice in New York was nothin less than marbill from its front stoop to its lean-to." The approaching wedding of John Hurlstone to Amy Bayliss was no less an occasion of local excitement. John hadn't been in Farmsted since he went away "to take keer o' that gold mine," as the villagers express- ed it, but Amy bad heard from him regularly, and he had at last fixed the welding day. It was to be September the 3rd, and great were the preparations then going on. Amy's brother Tom was to be the best man, John's two sisters the bridesmaids, and both Dr. Bayliss and the bishop .of the diocese were to perform the wedding ceremony. Farmsted was in a flutter of excite- ment over the event, and the church was recei'i ing some needed painting and upholstering in anticipation. John wrote that he would not be on until the very morning of the wed- ding, because he was busy getting his affairs in order, so that he might take a wedding trip to some new and far off place. Rush bad seen little or nothing of John in New York during the summer, and he was delighted to know that he had settled down and was determin- ed to marry the devoted girl to whom he was engaged. and filled it with growing forget- woman in the world for whom I me-nots. Helen was more pleased have amore profound regard than with this than with anything else I have for Miss Archer; bat I she received; "for," said she, "it thought you, who ,used to twit me will give me something to take are with it, knew my love for another g e, and every woman, and it seemed to me so ab - of during the voyatime I water it or break off the surd to think that I could love any dead leaves I will think of you, and one else, that I. could not help I will wonder how you are getting laughing as I answered your goes along in your new position.
