A GOOD SAMARITAN
Table of Contents
The little District Telegraph boy, with a dirty face, stood at the edge of the desk, and, rubbing his sleeve across his cheek, made it unnecessarily dirtier.
Answer, sir?
No—yes—wait a minute.
Reed tore the yellow envelope and spread the telegram. It read:
Do I meet you at your office or at Martin's and what time?
The devil!
Reed commented, and the boy blinked indifferently. He was used to stronger. The casual Rex all over! Yes, boy, there's an answer.

he inquired with an air of wistful pride, and the frown on the face of the other dissolved in laughter.
Rex, there's no making you over—worse luck. Come along. I've got to go home to dress after dinner you see, before we make our call. You'll do, on the strength of being a theological student.
The situation was this: Reginald Fairfax, in his last year
