.44. Dawn man is supposed to be
'oral to any situation," said the
;managing editor. "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

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

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 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?"

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

"I shall be delighted," answered it was proof positive that Hastings

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.

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.
