Caroline could have asked no better fortune than her sister's discomfiture, but she onlysiaid, , I suppose you could get in the back - kitchen window, as I did last summer when every body was away.

Make your arrange- ments to come home early, and if you're late, just getiu the back window ;" and Caroline hastened down to supper. • The next evening—a bitterly cold January evening—duly arrived. Caro- line dawdled over her supper a while; then went back to her chamber and threw herself into a oushioned chair with a novel in her hand. She was so deeply engaged with this -that she seemed not to hear Alice's pleading voice calling acrose the hall, . " Caroline, Caroline dear, if you'd only fix my hair .a little ! Norah is sick, and it's so late, and these puffs won't stay in place." "Well, what makes you try to puff your hair yourself ?" was the final un- gracious resphnse. "If you'll just fasten this hair pin—" -" I don't see but it looks well enough. It's ridiculous for you to go out to -night with your cold." "I'm going to wear my cloak ars. Papa told me to be sure to wear them. There, Caroline, that'll do." Caroline returned to her chaii and her novel, ,but she dropped the boek when a rilla at the door advertised Afra Evarts' 0 arrival, .and for a long time after Alice . was gone she sat scowling at the carpet, busy with uncomfortable thoughts. Here she was, almost twenty-five years old, passe, and principally useful in society as a foil for her sister Alice, anent of Mr. Everts' name followed. whose soft bloom and heavy coils of hair tains no alcohol or other volatile hquide, conse- never looked fairer than beside her ownHalf grateful to him for coming, half que11.0:7 loses nothing by. evaporation.

"Well," said the first speaker, re- morsefully, it is laiy. But I'm so tired Yon know it was four when I got home. I fed as if I could sleep a week. Don't yon ?" - "I Mean to take my rest for a while," rejoined Caroline, with. a yawu. "We've no engagements for the nex0 two or three evenings." A little flush came upon the fair cheeks of her sister as she said, hastily, "DAT have. - Mr. Everts asked me to go to the musical eoiree to -morrow evening. And I accepted." It was well she did not see the look on the face opposite her as she spoke. - Only Sarah, coming in .with the toast, . saw it, and muttered to herself as she went out, " Mies Caroline's got such a teniper ! I wonder now what 3.4ise Alice had gone and said to her ?" - Caroline only remarked, a? she,ihelped herself to toast, " Going with Mr. Evarts again ?" Something M her manner of speaking caused her sister to color still more deep- ly ; but she met Caroline's steadily as she asked. " Why not ?" _ " Oh, if you like to have the name of setting your cap for a rich young man, of course it's all right! I think, Alice, if you had heard. the commenta I heard last evening, you would prefer to make your courtship of Mr. Evarts less public.". "My courtship ! I should like you to be both more polite and more just, Caroline," was the reply, delivered with spirit, as the speaker rose and vvalked to the window. " I am not aware that I ha,ve acted unbecomingly in simply ac- cepting Mr. Evart's invitations, and he is not ' a man who could be cajoled or flattered by any woman." "It is precisely because he is gee.- tlema,n," began Caroline, too angry to be . prudent in her speech, "that he 'al- lows--" The heavy shutting of the outer door and rapid steps coming along the hall caused her to stop short. In another. moment the dining -room door was thrown wide, and an active little gen- tleman appeared upon its threshold with a bundle of papers in his hand. An ex- alanaation escaped his lips as he glanced from one young lady to the other, and then at the clock. "Is this dinner or breakfast, I should,' be glad to know ?" he inquired, snap- pishly, adjusting his eyeglasses in order to stare at the two carelessly arrayed figures. "What does this mean ?" Why, papa, we can't do with four hours' sleep, and get up at eight," re- sponded Caroline, sulkily. "Pour hours' sleep! I should think not. So you came in at four this morn- ing, did you? And at three the night before ; and at one the night before ! This is getting worse and worse. • This —this is positively indecent ! I won't allow such hours—I declare I won't!" " But, papa—", "Oh, don't let me have buts! Yoa look haggard, both of you. And what will you be fit for to -day.? Nothing.' - You'll probably go out again. to -night and come home late again and. feel worsethan ever the next day. 'Now ,I'm going to stop this—here and now." " Why, papa, we must go out even- ings !" 'And you must come home evenings. You must be in this house before twelve if you Want to come in at all. I Won't countenance impropriety, at any rate. The doors shall be locked. at twelve— every night': If you come home after - that time, you won't get in. And I won't be rung up; neither will I have the aervants rung up. I'll give, my or- ders to day I'll have it distinctly un- dersthod that nobedy shall be let in who conies after twelve. You hear ?" - Two a,cquiescent and rather blank faces met the impulsive little gentleman's view. He added, more moderately "It's for your own good. It's for your health and comfort that I make the rale. Now to -night --are you goingaway to -night ?" "No, Sir." " Well, to-naorrow, then—when you come in. to -morrow night—" " I'm not going out again this week," said Caro!ine ; rather maliciously adding, "As for Alice, she can't afford to lose time." ' "Alice is going, is she?" said the old eentleman good-humoreclly, taking no. 0 0 notice of Caroline's nint. "Arid who's Alice going with, - eh ?" " With Mr. Evarts, papa, to a musieal entertainesent," responded the one spok- en of. I The father's face ex-pancled into a well .door by which she had entered.

Well, well, child, you needn't blush so. don't quarrel with yoar taste. Everts is a fish to hook—a very large fish !" and with a chuckle for farewell the busy old- geatleman hurried out of the room again, leaving one daughter almost crying and. the other with a very ugly expression of cou-ntenance. Late that afternoon, as Caroline sat plaiting her hair, a sharp peal of the bell startled her. Stealing out into the hall: - softly, she heard a well-known voice in- quire for "Miss Alice Wylie," and -47 • • . . • THE HURON EXPO TOR, explained, for upon that table the cook , more.
