Synopsis.—FW father and mother reported lost at sea when the Dunraven, on which they had sailed for Europe, was sunk, Carolyn May Cameron—Hannah’s Carolyn—is sent from New York to her bach elor uncle, Joseph Stagg, at the Corners. The reception given her by her uncle is not very enthusiastic. /Carolyn is also chilled by the stern demeanor of Aunty Rose, Uncle Joe’s housekeeper. Stagg Is dismayed when he learns from a lawyer friend of his brother-in-law that Carolyu has baen left practically penniless and consigned to his care as guardian. ^ ~ . l-i ’ft r.

Prince backed loudly, circling around the bristling turkey cock, undecided Just how to get ftnto the battle. But Aunty Rose knew no fear of anything wearing feathers. “Scat, you brute I” she cried, and made a grab for the turkey, gripping him with her j left hand behind his head, bearing his long neck downward. In her other hand she seized a piece of lath and with It chastised the big turkey across the haunches with vigor. “Oh. don’t spank him any more.

She had hoped to go Into the garden to help Aunty Rose pick peas, but she could not bear to laave Prince alone. By and by Mrs. Kennedy came up from the garden, her pan heaped with pods. She looked neither In the dl- (action of the prisoner nor at his little i mistress. i Prince whined and lay down.

Aunty Rose.” “Never trouble about that which doesn’t concern you, Joseph Stagg,” responded his housekeeper rather tartly. “The Lord has placed the care of Hannah’s Car’lyn on you and me and I’ll do my share and do It proper.” Mr. Stagg shook his head and lost Interest In his wedge of berry pie. “There are Institutions—** he began weakly; but Aunty Rose said quickly “Joseph Stagg!

The child hasn’t a thing to wear hut that fancy little black frock, and she’ll ruin that play ing around. She’s got to have frocks and shoes and another hat—all sorts of things.

Aunty Rose would have released Prince, but, though he wagged his stump of a tall at her and yawned and blinked, she had still her doubts regarding a mon grel’s good nature. • She could not allow the child to steep there, however; so, stooping, picked up^Caeolyn May and carried her comfortably* into the house, laying her down on the sitting-room couch to have her nap o'ut—as she supposed, without awakening Mr. Aunty Rose came away softly and closed the door and while she finished felting dinner she tried to make no wstoe which would awaken the child.

And he’s at home so little I guess that it’s going to be hard tojlQ It.” “Oh, is that so? And is it going to be hard to get acquainted with .me?” asked the housekeeper curiously. “Oh, no!” cried Carolyn May, snug gling up to the good woman and pat ting her plump bare arm. “Why, Pm getting ’qpalnted with you fasl, Aunty Rose! You heard me say my prayers and when you laid me down on the conch Just now you kissed me.” Aunty Rose actually blushed. “There, there, child!” she exclaimed. “You’re too noticing. Eat your dinner, that I’ve saved warm for you.” “Isn’t Prince to have any dinner. Aunty Rose?*' asked the little girl. y “You may let him out, if you with, after you have had your dinner. You can feed him under the tree.” Carolyn May was very much excited about an hour later when a rusty closed hack drew up to the front gate of the Stagg place and ' Ar. eld man' with a whisker hnd clothing and hat as rusty as the hack itself held the reins over the bony back of the horse-that drew the ancient equipage. “I say, young'un, ain’t you out o’ yer bailiwick?” queried Tim, the hackman, staring at the little girl In the Stagg yard. Carolyn May stood up quickly and tried to look over her shoulder and down her back. It was h’ard to get all those buttons buttoned straight. “I d»n’t know” she said, perturbed. Does ff thow?” . *- “Huh?” grunted Tim. “Does what show?” “What you said,” said Carolyn May accusingly. “I don’t believe It does.” “Hey !*’ chuckled the hack driver suddenly. *T meant, do you 'low Mrs. Kennedy knows you’re playing In her front yard?” “Aunty Rose? Why, of course!” Carolyn May declared. “Don’t you know I live here?” - ' “Live here? Get out!” exclaimed the surprised hackman. “Yes, sir. And Prince too. With my Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose.” “Pitcher of George Washington!“ ejaculated Tim. “You don't mean Joe Stagg’s taken a young-’un to board?” “He’s my guardian,” said the little girl primly. Aunty Rose appeared. She wore a close bonnet, trimmed very plainly, and carried a parasol of drab silk. Aunty Rose climbed Into the creaky old vehicle. “Are you going to be gone lung?” asked Carolyn May politely. “Not more than two hours, child,” said the housekeeper, “Nobody will Imther you here—” “Not while that dog’s with her, 1 reckon,” put in Tim, the hackman. “May I come down the road to meet you, Aunty flfose?” asked the little girl. Y“I know the way to Uncle Jcj^’s store}* , j “I Gpn*t know any reason why you can’t c^iqe to meet me,” replied Mrs. Kennedy. \ “Anyway, you can come along the road as far as the first house. You know that one?” — ’“Yen, ma’am. Mr. Parlow’s,” said Carolyn May. Carolyn May went back Into the yard and sat on the front-porch steps and Prince, yawning unhappily, curled down at her feet. There did not seem to be much to do at {his place. She had time now, had Carolyn May, to compare The Corners with the busy Harlem streets with which she had been familiar all her life. “Goodness me!” * thought Carolyn May, startled by her own Imagination, "suppose all the folks In all these houses around here were dead!” They might have been for all the hnnian noises she heard. “Goodness me!” she said again, and this time she Jumped up, startling Prince from his nap. “Maybe there is a sp^ll cast over all this place,” she went on. “Let’s go and see if we can find somebody that’s alive.” They went out of the yard together and took the dusty road toward the town. They soon came In sight of the Par- low house and carpenter shop. . “We can’t go beyond that,” said Carolyn May. “Aunty Rose told us not to. And Uncle Joe says the car penter-man isn’t a pleasant man.” She Looked wistfully at the prem ises. The cottage seemed quite as much under the “spell” as had been those dwellings at The Corners. But from the shop came sound of a plane shrieking over a long board. “Oh, Princey!” gasped Carolyu May. “I biieve he’s making long, curly shavings!” If there was one thing Carolyn May adored It was curls. Suddenly Mr. Jedidiah Parlow looked up and saw the wistful, dust-streaked face under the black hat brim and above the black frock. He stared at her for fully a fftfnute, poising the plane over his work. Then he put it down and came to the door of the shop. “You’re Hannah Stagg's little girl, aren’t you?” he asked. “Yes, sir,” she said, and sighed,* SMSOHOL Lesson (By RpV. P. B. FIT2WATER, D.

(Copyright, ^ 1918, Ojtestern Newspaper Umsfr) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 29 TUBERCULOSIS LOSS IS BIG Federal Government Bears Partial Loss of Animals Slaughtered Because of Infection. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The 1919 agricultural appropriation,! bill Just passed by congress contains an item expected to be of great Im portance in ^tbe federal and state cam paign to eradicate tuberculosis among cattle and swine. It provides that the federal government shall pay indem nity to owners»whose cattle are slaugh tered because they have been found In fected with tuberculosis. - : „ The department of agriculture is to pay one-third of the difference between the appraised value of the cattle and the salvage value of the slaughtered animals, provided that the state, coun ty or municipality in which the cattle are owned and kept is co-operating in the tuberculosis work and pays at least an equal amount to the owner. away! There would not be any chance of her getting a suit of long curls. “You’ve come here to live, have you?” said Mr. Parlow slowly. . “Yes, sir. You see, my papa and mamma were lost at sea—with the Dunraven. It w’as a mistake, I guess,” sighed the^little girl, “for they weren’t fighting" anybody. But the Dunraven got in the way of some ships that were fighting, in a place called the Medi terranean ocean, and the Dunraven was sunk, and only a few folks were, saved from it. My papa and mamma weren’t saved.” Entire Herd Affected With Tuberculoela. Bovine In no case Is the federal government to pey more to the owner than Is paid by the state, county or municipality. No payment by the federal government Is fo be more than $25 for any grade animal or more than $50 for any pure bred animal, and no payment Is to b< made unless the owner has compiler with all quarantine regulations. This provision Is expected to re move much of the opposition amony cattle owners that has hindered tuber culosls eradication work.

Another Important development ex pected to hasten tuberculosis eradica tion w’as the unanimous adoption by breeders and live stock sanitarians of national reputation of regulations for accrediting pure-bred herds of cattle. This action, taken last December, marked the co-ordination of efforts ol Individuals and the state and federal governments for the suppression of tuberculosis in pure-bred auimals. On July 1, the department issued its first list of herds officially accredited as free from tuberculosis. The herds numbered on that date approximately 240. The list also named herds that had passed one successful test. They must pass another annual test success fully before being placed on the ac credited list * ^ * The annual loss from tuberculosis among cattle and hogs is reckoned at $40,000,000 in the United States. The federal campaign to eradicate the dis ease is of comparatively recent begin ning. It has been divided into thre$ wall-defined projects.

DEVOTIONAL READING—Psalms 94. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL - Genesie 45:16-50:26. Since we took the birth of the Sa vior for our Christmas lesson, today. Instead of a review, we will go back and take up the alternative lesson for December 22. It will be more profit able to complete the study of Joseph In his attitude toward his kindred than to undertake, the review. I. Joseph Sends to Canaan for His Father (45:17-28). After Joseph hnd made himself known to his brethren he sent them back to his father In Canaan with the YtTorL news not only that he was alive, but that the Lord had exalted him to be lord over all Egypt, and that his fa ther and brethren with their families should come down to Egypt where he would give them the best of the land and that they should eat of the “fat of the land.” This Illustrates how one day Jesus Christ shall disclose his Identity to his brethren the Jews, and that his exaltation at the right hand of the Father was to make preparation for them against the awful day of trial which shall be visited upon them (Acts 3:19-21). II. Joseph Meets His Father in the Land of Goshen (40:29-34). Jacob experienced a double delight —that of seeing his beloved son whom ; he had long mourned us dead, and of l>elng welcomed to the new and strange land by Its prime minister. Joseph In structed his father and brethren how to place their request before Pharaoh. Since their occupation was that of shepherds he knew that some tact; should be employed In their approach to the king, for “every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians." III. Jacob and Five Sons Presented to Pharaoh (47:1-7). Though Joseph was high In author ity he was not ashamed to bring his father and brethren into the presence of the great Pharaoh, even though they were humble farmers. 1. Pharaoh's Question (vv. 3, 4). He inquired as to their occupation. They answered that both they and their fa ther were shepherds. They went a lit- j tie beyond what they were asked by Pharaoh and Instructed to do by Jo seph. They requested the land of Goshen, for they knew It was a good place for pasture for their flocks. 2. Pharaoh's Instructions to Joseph (vv. 5, G). He told him to make his father and brethren to dwell in the best of the land—even Goshen, and that If he knew of any men of ability among them to give them the charge of his cattle. He assumed that since Joseph was so capable and trustworthy | that some of his brethren would also possess suitable qualifications of ad ministration. IV. Jacob pleased Pharaoh (47:7- 10). Though Jacob was a pilgrim in Egypt, dependent’upon Pharaoh even for food to eat, in the dignity of his faith of what God would do with him, aud through him, he pronounced a blessing upon the great Egyptian king. The less is blessed by the greater (He- 1 brews 7:7). Though conscious of his t place of superiority through the divine covenant he did not manifest officious ness, but rather the desire to convey a vital blessing. He recognized that he} was the channel through which great blessings w’ould cqpie to Pharaoh, in accordance with the Abrahamic cov enant (Genesis 12:1-3). Israel is one; day to be the channel through which 1 the blessings of .salvation shall flow to the Gentile nations (Romans 11:12- 15). V. Joseph Nourished His Father and Brethren (47:11, 12). According to the Instructions of Pharaoh, Joseph placed his father and brethren In the best of the land and made provision for them. Jesus Christ will one day, when the famine of the great tribulation Is exceeding soi^ be reconciled to his brethren, tbeJew’s, apd wllh-gfve them a possession in the best of the land and nourish them. Christ is .now seated with the Father on his thron^and one day will reveal himself to^his "brethren the Jews ant^ will feed them on the “fat of^the land." Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years. When the time of his death approached he exacted from Joseph a promise that he^^would bury him In Canaan. He blessed Joseph’s sons and issued a prophecy concerning his owm sons. . .at for Span- .oii influenza. - • V ' At the first sign of a cold take / „ / CASWRAm (HJfN'NE cold ^?Sd form—s*fe, »ur«, no in 24 houra—relieve* grip * n 3 day*- back if i t fail*.
