"I'm fairly aching to pass the time of night with them!" "I'll do it," agreed the bell-boy. "Follow me, please." "I wonder why they went to all that trouble to be so disagreeable to us," Prescott muttered, as the little party strode along. "You had some dispute with that crowd, on the hotel porch to-night, didn't you?" asked the bell-boy.
You see, I had not opened the door of the room yet, and while I was talking to the bell-boy I could hear the sound of something four-footed going back and forth inside the room. When I got inside there was Van, perfectly naked, going back and forth along the wall, swinging his head very low, grumbling to himself.
"Scuttle 'em -the way they did our tent!" Tom retorted. "I hope you pay them back generously," muttered the bell-boy. "I've a score to settle with them for trying to blacken good old Saunders! But see here! Up to date, at least, they're guests of the hotel, and I'm an employe there.
Ugh! the first step on the down grade." There was a rap upon the door and she lowered the shade a little so that the bell-boy with her evening paper should not see her reddened eyes. Instead of the paper he carried a long pasteboard box. Flowers?
With a final glance at his own careful make-up, he started after her for the street. "Some chikabiddy!" was the remark of the clerk to the head bell-boy. The words reached the ears of Shirley and Helene. Her hand trembled on his arm as they entered a waiting taxicab. She looked pathetically at him, as she asked.

Concluding that she must be at the home of some friend, he had placed his own name on the last book he examined, and seated himself to think over the situation, when he heard a bell-boy say: "That girl in number sixteen wants a 'Frisco' time-table."
Years of this kind of fighting had given him a just estimate of the immense value of time, and he had forty-eight hours left in which to get control of the Tillman City stock. Campaigns have been lost and won again in less time than that. When the bell-boy brought up the editor's card Jim stared at it a moment, then told the boy to show him in.
Vandover understood, and, ringing for a bell-boy, ordered up three bottles of soda in siphon bottles. The game was vingt et un, or, as they called it, Van John. They cut for banker. Ellis turned the first ace, and Vandover bought the bank from him.
She looked at him steadily. "Once," she said, "when I was sixteen, I appeared in an amateur play at school. It was my first and last appearance on the stage." "Thanks, lady," remarked Mr. Magee in imitation of the bell-boy he was supposed to be. He sought number seven. There he made himself again presentable, after which he descended to the office. Mr.
Monotonous factory work was not to be thought of in connection with him, but his good friend the judge found a place for him as a bell-boy in a men's club, where it was hoped that the uniform and the variety of experience might enable him to take the first steps toward regular pay and a settled life.
