However Rush found himself AZ Hell

was necessary 10 her. HIS attentions

she was very fond 81 him When she

along, she settled herself down 10 the old
way. and almost snade up her mind that

his hand. He looked excited, but not
particularly happy.
Here Is "a dispatch from my chief, ."
said he, ordering me 10 London TO re-

though three thousand miles away, will
afford me the greatest delight" And so
Rush talked on for half an hour, unable
10 tear himself away, though well aware
that II was high time for him 10 be off.
The next morning he was at the house

her tea from a Sevres cup and patted the
head of her pet greyhound. Helen was
