Rush was just about in front Of the
! Astor house when some one slapped him
| on the back and called him by name,
and, looking around, he saw his old col
lege friend Archie Tillinghast Archie
Tilinghast was in class ahead of Rush
Hurlstone, and had graduated since Rush
left Harvard. They had not been par
ticularly intimate at college, but Rush
had always liked Archie. because he was
| gentle in his manners and because the
other students were rather inclined to
poke fun at him. They called him a
"cad," and jeered him for reading De
! Musset when they wanted him to play
football; and they moreover thought
! that he was too much of dandy for
| every day use Archie Tillinghast was
not brilliant, but he got along in his
studies much better than some Of his
brighter companions, probably because
| his tastes were more studious and he
was Industrious. He belonged to an old
and wealthy family, and was somewhat
inclined to look down upon the ''un-
washed" He would rather sit alone in
| his room than associate with men whom
he considered coarse; SO in revenge they
called him a "cad"
If Archie had been his dearest friend
Rush could not have been more delight
ed to see him than he was just at this
moment He nearly shook his eye glasses
| off in his heartiness.
"Nly dear boy" said Archie, 81 never

| faint blush.

in his friends manner and determined
to find out what the trouble was-if
Ehere was any. Rush at the same time

and hesitated to talk over his affairs with
him lest he should think he wanted to

Rush would never have suspected from

Archie entered the room with the dig

Of the year, AS they seated themselves
at the table, he said to the waiter:
