A FACE IN THE GLASS. Arlino Had More ArtiCco Than Go ergo After All. Why it was that George Edmonds, i who had been known as the nerviest man in a football game and the best boxer at college, could not summon up courage enough to propose to lit¬ tle Arline Phillips was a mystery. But it was so. He could not do it. George had arrived at his twenty fourth year without falling a victim to any feminine fascinations, but now ho was badly in love, and that little blonde, Arline Phillips, was the only physician who could help his particular complaint. The time was Halloween, and George was to take Arline to a party at the house of a friend. lie knew all of the old Halloween games, and he decided that to-night, of all nights, was the time for him to make the plunge, if he ever were to do so. He stood in front of his mirror, surveyed himself and wondered how it was that a six-foot man, with the determined-looking chin that hehad, could not propose to a little girl who stood five feet nothing in her high heeled boots. “Halloween is the time,” he said, as he turned from the glass, “and I’ll settle it to-night forever.” He got into the cab that had been waiting for him and ordered the driver to go to the house of Arline— his Arline he hoped she would be be¬ fore the night was over. Miss Phillips received George with the careless, almost sisterly famil¬ iarity which is as much of a set back to lovers as a decided coldness would be. He would have liked it had she been a little more distant with him. As it was already late, they went at once to the house.where the party was to be, and were received at the door by Miss Kate Edmonston, their hostess. Miss Edmonston, a little girl with a freckled face and red hair, whom no one could call pretty, but whom all called attractive, received them at the door and told them to hasten, as the games were already in prog¬ ress. In the parlor was a large crowd of young men and women, busily en¬ gaged in the sport of diving for ap¬ ples. In this sport, as every one knows, a lot of apples, each bearing the name of a man, are placed in a tub of water, and the girls try to catch them in their teeth. The name on the apple is sure to be the name of the future husband of the young woman who dives. There was an other tub filled with apples in which there were the names of girls, but that was for the men, and conse¬ quently of comparatively little in¬ terest. There was much diving, much laughter and much disgust when it was found that carefully curled hair was, owing to the water, hanging down, before the eves of the owners, straight and stiff. ¥ut no one cairs about hair at a Halilfecn party, and so the disgust was short¬ lived indeed. At last it came Arline’s turn to dive, and, while the laughing crowd of girls were busy dragging her to the tub, George Edmonds slipped into it five apples each bearing his own name. He thought that should Arline get an apple with his name on it, she would then expect the proposal that he was mustering up his courage to make. Arline leaned over the tub and bit at an apple, but it floated away from her, and she tried again but with no better success than before, bne was persistent, however, and in r dud aoout , five r , minutes, dripping triumphant, she stood up With the apple fast between her teeth. An inspection revealed the fact .1 tbat . the ,, app e I,™ ;„crt^/l nf the - - name of George Edmonds the name of Frederick Hopkins. This Hopkins was a dapper little fellow, who all ; the tuo xii girls said was “nice,” aud he sat iu the and smiled , a , huge corner smile when he beard the fair Arline read his name. To make matters worse, the festive. Frederick had been a frequent visitor at Miss Phil lips’ house, and George had often been jealous of the attention she paid him. The evening wore on, and poor George was in evident a^ony over the fact that Arline had not chosen i jji m for a partner in any of the games, and had, on the contrary, | taken the dapper Hopkins more than °J?ee.

CONYERS, GEORGIA,.WEDNESDAY JAN. 10 1S95. she would see me face of her future husband in the glass, but under no circumstances was she to turn around, for that would break the Spell. Several girls tried it, each ono solemnly declared that she had seen a face in the glass, and then came Arline’s turn. “1 suppose she'll see that follow Hopkins,” muttered George, as Ar line went to get a light for the candle. Just at this moment Katie Ed monston rushed up to George and said: “Be quick, run up the back stairs and look over Arline’s shoulder when she reaches the top. Hurry up now, or she'll see you.” George hesitated but a moment, and then obeyed. lie reached the dark top floor and then groped his way to the head of the front stairs. There he paused. “Suppose,” thought he, “that this should give her a fright, from which she never could recover. Shall I do it?” He had almost decided in the nega¬ tive when ho heard Arline coming slowly up the stairs. Up one flight she came and then on up the next. Very slow work it was and George could hear his heart thumping wild¬ ly as she came on. But a few steps remained for her and then George bent over and al¬ most touched her shoulder with his chin. Arline sighed in a pleased sort of way, and then, without turning, commenced her downward trip. He rushed down the back stairs and when Arline Phillips reached the lower floor George was leaning against the wall trying to look un¬ concerned, but only succeeding in looking as if ho had committed petit larceny aud been caught in the act. Miss Phillips was besieged with questions. “Whom had she seen?” “Did ho look natural?” “Just tell us his first name or even the color of his hair?”-*but Arline refused, but said that he. was a very nice young man. George and Arline did not ride home* that night, but as they were walking along be told the story that so long had troubled him, and she, with just the proper amount of dif¬ fidence, said; * “Yes.” The wedding took place with the beginning of the new year, just two months after All Hallows Eve, and as George Edmonds, the proudest roan in New York, walked down the aisle, he saw Miss Edmonston look¬ ing at him from the corner of her eye, and as be passed her seat ho bowed and murmured; “Thanks.” Once in the carriage with Arline, George grew grave. “Arline,” he said, “I have a ques¬ tion to ask and a secret to tell you. Didn’t Halloween night influence you a little in accepting me?” After a moment el. **nswered wMA reluctance; “Yc^M* “Weil, Arline,” he said, “I stood at the head of the stairs and looked over your shoulder that night. Now, don’t get angry,” he continued as she raised the handkerchief to her face. She remained silent while onecould count ten and then said with a little laugh: I i Why should I be angry, wbeu it was I who told Katie Edmonston to send you up the back stairs.”—Eveu ing Sun.
