"Ah, good evening, Mr, Varney," she sald coolly. "Good evening," he sald, his voice a8 cold as her own. They both of them had started for the hall door and in another second they would have met. "Excuse me," sald Caroline, "Im in & hurry." : "That's plain enough. Another par ty, 1 suppose, and dancing." "What of it! What's the matter with dancing, I'd like to know." "Nothing is the matter with dancing if you want to, but I must say that it is a pretty way of going on, with the canton roaring not six miles away." "Well, what do you wants to do?

"Proposals by the whole- sale!" "Goodness me!" exclaimed Caroline, "what's the use of talking abeut it to me. They're the ones that propose, I don't. How can I help it? "Oh," said Wilfred loftily, "you can fielp it all right. You helped it with me." ' "Well," she answered, with a queer look at him, "that was different." "And ever since you threw me over ~" he began. "I didn't throw you over, you Just went over," she interrupted. "I went over because you walked off with Major Silisby that night we were at Drury's Bluff," sald the boy, "and you encouraged him to propose. You admit it," he sald, as the girl nodded her head: z "Of course I did. I dirt want him it. what it was to he out of it like that!

He unrolled his package and selsed the trousers by the waistband and dangled them before her eyes. "Cut those off," he sald; "they are twice too long. All you have to do is to cut them here and sew up the ends, so that they don't ravel out" Caroline stared at him in great b wilderment. She had expected some thing quite different. "Why, they are uniform trousers," she said finally, "You are going to join the army? She clapped her hands gleefully, "Give them to me." "Huah! don't talk so loud, for heaven's sake," said Wilfred. "I've €0t a jacket here, 100." He drew out of the parcel a small army jacket, a private soldier's coat. "It's nearly a Ait. It came from the hospital.
