THE oFTER OF A RRIENn.

An hours walk brought Russell to his
own door--or, TO be exact, to the door
which his landlady hired OF the lawyer
who managed the estate OF the man who
in life had owned the building. He was
surprised to see that light was burning
in his room, and to find, upon entering,
that his return had been anxiously
awaited by almost the only person in
the world TO whom he knew that he was
really something moro than face and
name. That the current OF friendly
feeling between the two men did not
pass with equal force each way was
Russelrs fault alone. His gloomy and
mechanical way Of life had shut out
friendship from his heart He had been
too self-centerd, too despondent, too
distrustful OF the value OF such senti-
ments.
But Walter Brown was man OF an
other sort altogether. He trusted every
body, including himself He had tho
warmest possible regard for Russell,
and II was visible In his earnest, kindly
and handsome face. Russell was glad
to see him--would have been glad 10 SOC

Brown; 'they do not 20 into society.
have thought 1t unfortunate for Miss
Ray, though have sometimes selfishly
blessed the chance which kept her so
secluded. ! don't believe that there are
half dozen girls In the city who speak
with fewer people In the course Of a
week than she does. She lives in her
home. A few school friends visit her,
but they come from out Of town, and
stay only short time. Her father and
mother and two younger sisters are her
only intimate associates. Now Gilbert
Ray is shrewd enough man, in busi-
ness, and his wife is an estimable wom-
an, but ! don't believe that either OF
them has read Q book In the last six

been to school and has learned large
number Of facts but she makes no use
OF them. am sure that she has good
mind but 1t doesn'r get any exercise. Do
] make myself clear?'
"You do" replied Russell, promptly,
"but am afraid there is nothing unique
about Miss Rays position. Too many
girls in this city are similarly situated"
"Perhaps so, but Miss Ray has my
love while the others have only my sym
pathy. She doesn't know 1t yet, unless
by intuition. She is only eighteen,
you know, and havea fortune to make

Heaven forgive my presumption in
thinking that might ever be worthy Of

vantage Of both. You will tell her what

when return shall fnd her past
master In logic and philosophy; and you
married, very likely, to one Of her
pretty school friends, with the honey
moon shining over your right shoulder"
81 am afraid that all this is planned
for my good more than for hers" said
Russell. "You knew what lonely life
led, and you thought that some infu-
ence to draw me out OF 1t little would
be the best thing In the world for me.
You are right, and thank you. Shall
call there with you tomorrow before

dent. 1t was nothing in itself, and yet
he found q new sensation in 1t. Three
months ago it would have annoyed him.
The thought that he had been unable to
pay for so poor meal would have OPP
pressed him with sense OF poverty.
But he had escaped that feeling alto
gether, and he wondered why.
The reason was plain enough, though
he could not sec 1t. Living as he had
done, wholly in monotonous routine,
such small mishaps had always assumed
exaggerated proportions. Trifling en-
barassments and the necessary self-de-
malls Of economy had given false and
somber color to his life because he bad
never had the tact to counterbalance
them with the small pleasures which
are within thereach Of everybody. But
he viewed life differently now This
preposterous idea Of money-getting had
taken him out Of the present and false
hope Offset false despondency.
'Hello! Russell, " said voice at his
his elbow; ''come and play game Of
billiards"
"How are you, Lanel" and Russell
shook the young man warmly by the
hand. "Td like to play with you, but
to tell the truth, l couldn't afford to
pay II lost. I've less than a dollar to
carry me through tomorrow"
Never mind that" was the cheerful
response. 'T'll lend you a couple of
dollars II | beat you"
81 think You'll do it," said Russell,
as he followed Lane in the direction Of
billiard saloon. "Indeed," he added,
mentally, "if that's the condition of the
game ! feel pretty sure you will"
1t had been about FIVE years since
Russell had handled billiard cue, and
he had never been an expert. However,
being out Of practice did not worry him
any, for 1t appeared to be case whore
defeat was preferable to victory. But
he wished to avoid the appearance Of
throwing the game away, and therefore
tried TO miss all the shots by narrow
margin. In this way he executed some
Of the most brilliant runs" Of his life,
and was half dozen points ahead when
the game was near Its end. Then the
interest Of the sport got the better Of
him; he played his level best; missed al
most every shot, and was defeated by
two points in hundred.

extracted two-dollar bill from his vest

at the last you'd have won."
The game cost sixty cents, which was
rather high percentage to pay for the
loan OF two dollars, but Russell re-
fiected that the rate Of interest is al
ways highest TO the man who can least
afford to pay. He parted from Lane at
tho door Of the billiard hall and took
his solitary way uptown. He bad de-
cided to walk home. 1t is hard neces-
sity which compels man TO call a'city

A RUN OF LUCK.


Russell held the half-dollar up to the
Light and made pretense Of examining
the spot Of baser metal in It. In reality
he was considering the advisability Of
making rush for the door. He decided
TO remain. IL was bad enough to have
such dinner on his stomach without
having 1t on his conscience also. Evi-
IDENTIFY he must postpone payment. He
did not like the idea. Borrowing din
ners in this way had formed no part Of
his original scheme. He removed his
eyes from the plugged coin, and turned
them upon tho cashier.
"Pretty work." said he; ~ took 1t for
good one"
Thirty cents, please said the CASH
Ter in tone calculated TO discourage
conversation.
81 regret to say that haven't that
amount with me-" Russell began, apollo

"You ought to have thought of that
BEFORE" was the response.
"Your remark bristles with WISDOM"
said Russell, ''but 1t does not contain q
suggestion as TO course Of acti on"
"Settle up" said the cashier, by way
Of supplying the deficiency. A fat man
In white jacket and traditional
cooks cap, who had been engaged in
the manufacture Of griddle-calkes by the
window as temptation 10 the passers-
by, overheard this controversy, and
strolled up to the desk armed with the
spade which he used TO turn his cakes.
A half dozen newsboys from the side
walk and some walters and customers
joined the group.
"Put him on the griddle, Shorty"
called one OF the urchins to the cook,
and the suggestion was received with

female at the cashiers desk, to whom he
gave the half dollar. He grieved to
think that his dinner would make such
big hole in it. But there was already
hole in 1t, which was far more griev-
Gus, and because of which the keen
eyed cashier rejected 1t altogether. The
half dollar was plugged.
