Miss Dorothy Campbell knew that t had rsined and frozen during the night She opened the door and stepped out to find that the top stone step was still Q glare. Miss Dorothy was falling and screaming when male pedestrian who happened to be passing at that moment, rushed part way up the steps and received her in bis arms. The shock landed both of them on the walk, but on their feet and they suffered no Injury.
 "You will excuse me, miss" said the man as be raised his hat
 Not only excuse, but thank you,~ was the reply.
 And you were going out without rubbersT he Queried.
 "I never wear them"
 "You run a terrible risk such day as today"
 "oh, am pretty surefooted," she laughed as she noticed that he had provided himself with a pair. "Thanks again."
 AS Miss Dorothy was moving away she noticed that her rescuer was man of perhaps twenty-five, with professional look about him. He had dark hair and eyes and smile that was good nature itself. He was still standing, and she realized that he would watch her until she had crossed the street, and, though there was ice under her feet, she stepped out boldly | She saw two or three pedestrians slip ping and falling, but she would take no warning. By sheer good luck she reached the destination she had set out for, and in time she started to make | her way home. She had made half the distance when a rough neck Of man in passing her seemed to give her his elbow with intent to make her fall and fall she did. But Miss Dorothy ] didn't go right down amid the slush. l 4 pair of strong arms prevented her and as she was Ii I on her feet again she turned to fnu the man who had saved her before
 'Why-you-you'-
 "Yes," he smiled. "I was not follow ing you to act the part of guardian but I had to come back this way and had only just seen you when the big loafer brought about the collision. l was near enough to sav2 you from a fall"
 And owe you my thanks again." she said.
 It was about the middle of the next l May, and there were early roses in- stead of slush and ice that Mss Doro- thy Campbell arrived at a little Coun- try railroad station twenty miles out of the big city.

 Miss Dorothy was about the only one tn the crowd who did not see the dan ger. Most of them had got away, and she was still standing and wondering, when an arm went around her waist and she was lifted up and half car ried and half dragged to the far end of the platform and thence half way | across a street. She turned to find 'that man" He lifted his hat and calmly explained:
 "I have come down here to visit my brother, who Is to meet me here. l was on the car with you, but you did not see me. lam glad to have been of service to you. Three or four people have been hurt and will require the | aid of a surgeon. You, doubtless, have friends coming to meet you. Win you excuse me while go and see what I can do for those who have been In jured? lam physician, you know"
 Just then her sister came up in the auto and called to her. So she and the young man had met once more, though she had never expected to see him again.
