A thrill of admiration ran through him when Woods announced his reception by the clever girl who was running away with him.
"I'll do my best to meet this Mr.Ridgeway.I am frequently in Chicago," said he.

"Glad to have met you, Mr.Woods, anyhow.

If you are ever in Baltimore, hunt me up.

I am in the E--- Building." "With pleasure, doctor; how long will you be in New York ?" "I am going away to-morrow." "Won't you come with me to my club ?" began Woods, but Hugh interrupted by beckoning to the omnipresent porter.
"Thanks! Much obliged! Like to, you know, but have an appointment!" And, shaking his hand, "Good-by!" "Good-by!" gasped Woods reluctantly, as if desiring one word more.

But Hugh, with a grin on his face that awakened renewed expectations on the part of the porter, was making, stiff and straight, for the baggage-room.
