Rush longed 10 see Helen with an ire

TO marry Ieoni. On that point he was
strong though on most others he was
weak He would still Let Amy believe that
they were 10 be married In the fall. Per
haps in the meantime he could think OF
good excuse for breaking of tho match.
He might pretend 10 be Jealous-to be-
lieve that she didn't love him. Not only
was John disturbed On this account, but
the state of affairs Of the Mutual Divi-
dend Mining company did not tend TO
make him happy. Col Mortimer was
drinking heavily and playing high-two
scro signs that he was losing faith in the
continued prosperity of the company,
and there were some ugly rumors afoat
that reflected upon the companys credit.
John, too, feared day of reckoning,
and ne followed the example of his chief
in the matter of drinking and high play.
His letters to Amy became less frequent,
and his visits to Leoni more so. He was
infatuated by the Italians beauty and
her passionate love for him, and he could
not keep away from her. Two or three
times he had gone to see her while feel
ing the worse for liquor. She was terri
bly, shocked; but ne explained the CTR
cumstance as an accident, and she was
quite willing to accept the explanation.
One day. after matinee, he called for
her at the stage door Of the Academy TO
take her home in his carriage. She re-
fused to go with him at first, because her
mother was not with her; but John
argzea SO eloquently that she yielded.
Were they not engaged to be married:
Indeed, they were really as good as hus-
band and wife. 1t was only question
of few words of ceremony. Moreover,
he had something of great importance
to say to her, and he must say it TO her
alone.
so Leoni got into the carriage. John
spoke few words in low tone to his
