A door stood ajar, and in the opening was tho fao' or ft girl peering nt mo. on n was nn expression of dread. Tho moment shoi saw thnt'I was' awake she drew awdy1 and closed tho door. 1 Starting up, I ran to it and pulled it? open, 1 could see nothing, but heard! steps descending ti pair Of stairs.

I stood looking at them, pitying1 them; thoy looked nt me, supposing" that an enouiy hnd discovered their re treat nnd expecting I kno!w not what calamity. My first thought was to re-. nssuro them. "Tho soldiers arc gone," I snld In, French. "Thero is no danger. Come upstairs." '(Arwyon sure monsieur?" asked the, girl, ''Como nud seo for yourself." I retraced my steps, and sho follow ed mo, but on reaching tho floor abovo stood looking about her, as If dreading tp. seo some Ucrco, crcaturo who would butciiqr her.

Of thOso two-wore seri ous, IhrOo- werO semi-serious, and ono was to bo Counted a credit Indtcad of U debit, for the gentleman had not boon brought to n proposal. Now, considering tho fact that Miss Caruthers had hut ono heart for the (lvo orBlx suitors, her nssctanndllnbll- ties' mny. bo said to be as ono'to half i dozen. Notwithstanding, ths ,dls- rcsslng condition ot her heart affairs, nt n pnrty congregated to see tho -phi year out and tho now year In shp yielded td tho temptation to tako po sition In ft Window .scat behind a cu, tufii' with! still another' young' man, nnd, then nnd tlicrp Uollbcrntcly . drew him fnto n proposal. Miss Caruthers disposition to go heart hunting' had been (noticed by both her father and mother-mid had, given them great concern. "She's not only declining dcslrablo imrtlfcs," said her niotlifir, ''butr driv ing nwny other desirable young' men who do not daro trust her;"' T "Too bad!" silld her father." "The day mny cqiho wlifenabo'ha's passed tho matltlf age rind will bb forced Info en during splnstcrhood." ' It was n great relief, therefore, when Gwendollu nslonlshod her father nnd mother by coming dbwn to breakfast With them nt 0 o'clock1 New' Year's morning and announcing to them that she hlid made a New Year's resolution not to Incur any nidrc heart liabilities during the year she was entering upon. In other words, sho would not act to ward nny young man In an encourag ing manner. "Good fOr you, Gwenl" exclnlnicd nor rntner, taking her in his arnis. "If you assure me ono 3car from today thakyou have kept your resolution I'll give you an automobile." "Donor cried Gwcn, kissing him first on one cheek and then on tho other. "But." said her father, holding her otr ana. looking her in tho eye. "Btitwhut?'' "Thero must of course bo an excep tion." "I see;, the exception Is nn acccptlon." "You mean an acceptance. If you accept a man. and marry him that won'ti count" "Suppps.e I ncecptthlm. and don't mnr. ry uun f "That Will count." Gw.on govo ,her father, another ,. kiss and sat, down ,to breakfast.

This was Georgo Underwood, a. young man much ongrOHsed in busl- ncss and so steady 'on his pins, to use n, slangy- phrasp, that it was very dif ficult for any ono to bowli him over. Ho was not ,a woman's man, nover dnnced, nnd, ns for nn nffnlr of hearts, it hnd, not occurred to hlmi ,that- it could be played ns u game. G wen,. had tuckled him Just as she had tackled the others, not , hnrlm t looked upon any of, them us a prob- uuto uuspanu. .. underwood's attention was not easily secured, nnd when it was secured thero was no favorable .responso to Gwen's advances. In vain sho , had endeavored to. butler down thiit iiKlJfTercncp, which stood between her and his heart. "When trying to so euro tin, entrance, she would bo miffed at a commonplace, remark about tlio, Weather. or' BOinp other event equally far distant from what was uppermost In her mind. Tlio consequence was that when she mndo her resolution on that Now Ycitr's morning sho had out ono regret sho would bo obliged to leavo Underwood unfinished. Mr. Underwood was in control of a largo business that brought him often ill I'Ontaet with Mr.' Caruthers.
