Archie, but think you are csrt Out for

Archie, but they are uncaiied for. ! am

Rush was nut always content with
himself or with his position There were
times when he resented being treated rs
boy. One night In particular he was
in a lamentable state Of mind he had
gone 70 the academy with Helen and her
aunt, nnd, naourally, expected 10 take
them home: bat West Hastings came be

Myers. Mrs Dick Crtswosd snd q LOT o,
other people 10 congratulate the prima
donna on brilliant evenings work. and
invited the whole party 70 supper 1t Del
monico's.
Helen, who thought that Rush had
brought her 10 the theatre 70 sccomrpo-
date her rather than for any pleasure n
himself, believed that he would be glad
Of the release, and esid, In her poiitesi
tones: 81 won't trouble you 70 take ne

unteered their services. II was vpry
