good resolves hi counted ap ruefully the money he had spent within a month for glovea and sappers and theatre tickets and thinking of the pro mites ha had made to hit little mother at home h was ashamed of himself indeed he was quite determined to be guilty of that kini of nonsense no more but jack could not resist tuuery hor ace with two other stylish yoang men at his own class called for him that night and horace introdaasd him as th very prince of good fellows the moat gener ous and delightful of all company and jack could not but make such goc i prtitet just this one night he would be all that was said of him it war the last night ha ever meant to be extravagant and be might just as well take a good fi rewell of tnch things it happened to be an nnutaall brilliadt night and the new friends bore all ex penses jack had never sang fie er tongs or told f annier stories he was delighted with himself and everybody wa i load in his praise over their late oyste supper jai goodtime the next evening was pro posed and as jack bad spent nc thing he saw no objections horace hadthreepretty sisters andsonje one proposed lo take them to he opera first jack was delighted he 111 ed htdiel society and was quite excited at ihe idea of going with a handsome party of girlt to a box at thoiacademy the next day horace delicti ely hinted that he would have to wear his irets suit jack had no dress suit honce would take him to his tailors he coulc get all he wanted there and pay any timetefora new year so that night jack made hit bow to utsa dayly in the most clegait and the most extravagant of dress snits i certainly he bad a splendid night but not even the memory of kates wonderful eyes and funny witticisms could malce bim forget tbe money owing for broa cloth and the money spent for carriages flowers tickets and supper for someiof every one seemed to expect jack to return t le compliment of the previous e ening a id the party being augamented by i hree ladi es quite doubled expenses before his introduction to jack might perhaps have withdrawn frcm the dangerous current he stood in but then it was impossible kate and he soon be came very great friends every day the had some little commiuioo for jack and every night he found himself tempted to take her somewhere to show off her beaaty and have her company all to himself be sides having got that dress suit j it wis just as well to take the good of it if jaekt extravsgence had stopped with himself it would have been bad noagh but when the hot day t came it touched poor bessie very heavily 8he found her uitlo farm every weeks end filled jwitti jacks city friends they came with jack to eat strawberries they came to fish in the river they came to toow off before the country girls they even came for the sleighing no season w exempt from their inroads and bessie felt the j expense ill met by their patronizing praise i of her tnag little place and her prime goc d fellow of a son i at his second new year jack found him self several hundreds of dollars in dbt he owed his tailor bis bootmaker ibis jeweller his restaurant he waa obliged to pay part and keep the bills running he kriew he was badly
