The little girl had been going to call on Mi**s Amanda. Aunty Hose had sanl lie might and Miss Amanda had invited her “gpeelully.” But the thought of taking the old carpenter Into her confldenee and ad vising with him delayed that visit. Mr. Parlow* was busy on sonie^piece of Mr. Stagg sometimes actually found a reflection of the cheerful figure qf ‘‘Hannah's CarTyn” coming between him and the big ledger over which he spent so many of his waking hours. Once he looked up from the letfger— it was on a Saturday morning—and really did-see the. bright figure of the little girl standing before him. It was no dream or fancy, for old Jimmy, the cat, suddenly shot to the topmost shelf, squalling with wild abandon. Prince- was nosing along qt Carolyn May’s side. “Bless me!” crooked Mr. Stagg. “That dog*of yours, Cur lyn May, will give Jimmy a conniption fit yet. What d’you want down here?” Carolyn May told him.

The little girl sighed. “I redly did s’pose you’d want to see Miss Amanda happy, Mr. Parlow,” she whispered. • .‘‘Happy? Bah!” snarled the old man. setting vigorously to work again, i He acted as if he wished to say no .more and let the little girl depart \v HirntrL armTher WoTdT Carolyn May really could not under stand it—at least she could not* im- medtately." ; That Mr. Parlow might have tTseJf* , ish reason for desiring "to keep his daughter and Joseph Stagg apart did not enter the, little girl’s mind. After that Sunday walk, however, Carolyn May was never so much afraid of her uncle as before. Why, he had even called Prince “good dog!” Truly Mr. Joseph JStugg was being . transformed—if slowly. ~- He could no^ deny to himself-that, to a certain extent, he was enjoying 1 the presence of his little niece at The Corners. If he only could decide Just what to do with the personal property of ids sister Hannah and her hushurid down In the New York apartment. Never in his Jife had he been so long deciding a question. « He hud really loved Hannah. He knew it now. did Joseph Stagg, every dime Vie looked at the lovely little your concerns. I heard It all,” said the quite innocent Chet. *‘And Mr. Vickers says: ‘So the child hasn’t anything of her own, Joe?’ ” Chet went on. .“And your uncle says: ‘Not a dollar, Vept what I might sell that a furniture for.’ And he hasn’t sold. It yet. I know., He just can’t make up his mind to sell them things that was your mother’s, Cariyn May,” added the boy, w>th a deeper insight into Mr. Stagg’s character than* one might have given him credit for pos sessing. But Carolyn May had heard some news that made her suddenly quiet and she was glad a customer came into store just then to draw Chet Gomi- ley’s attention. The child had never thought before J n ly D 1^1 about how the good things of life came to her—her food, clothes and lodging. But now* Chet Gorndey’s chattering had given her a new view of the facts of the case.. There had been no money left to spend for her needs. Uncle Joe was just keeping her out of charity! \*And Prince, too,” thought the little girl, with a lump In her throat. “He hasn’t got any more home than 11 rah Jbit! And Uncle Joe don’t really lik« dogs—nop even how. wr "Oh,- dear me!” pursued Carolyn May. . “It’s awful hard to he an or phan. But to he a poor orphan—ju*l Ji charity on**—is a whole lot worse, 1 guess. 1 wonder if I .ought to stay 'with Uncle Jpe-and Aunty Hose ami, make them so much troubleV” — ; -~~- The thought hit deep Into the llttle- gk-Ps very ‘impressionable mind. She wished to he alone and to think .over this really tragic thing that faced her—the ugly fact that she ^ was a “charity child” - “And you’re a charity dog. Prime Cameron,” she said aloud, looking down at the mongrel who walked se dately beside her along the country road. The little girl had loitered along the road until It was now dinner time. Indeed, Auuty Hose would have had the meal on the table twenty minutes earlier. Mr. Stagg had evidently re mained at The Corners to sell the <*ow and eat dinner too—thus “killing two birds with one stone.” And here Carolyn. May and Prince were at Mr. Parlow's carpenter shop, Just as the old man was taking off his apron preparatory, to going in to his dinner. When Mi>s Amanda was away nursing, the carpenter ute at a neigh- Imr’s table. * y Now Miss Amanda appeared on the side |Kirch. "Where are you going, little giii?*' she asked, smiling. “Home to Aunty Hose,” said Carolyn May bravely. “But I guess l*m lute for dinner.” ‘T Think 1 You Are Lovely, Amanda."
