The reception given he^by her uncle U *ot 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 Carolyn has been left practically penniless' and consigned to his care as guardian. Carolyn learns of the estrangement between her uncle »«id his one-time sweetheart, Amanda Parlow, and the cause of the bitterness between the two families. Prince, the mongrel dog that Carolyn brought with her, and the boon companion of the lonesome girl, is in disfavor with , Cncle Joe,, who threatens to dispose of him, but Prince becomes a hero and wins the approval of the Corners by routing a tramp.In the act of robbing the schoolteacher. The following Sunday, while Carolyn and her uncle,'accompanied by Prince, are taking a walk in the woods they 'encounter Amanda Pariow. Prince kills a snake about to i strike Amanda, and S^igg and Amanda speak to each other for the first time in years. Carolyn Is dismayed when she learns from Chet Gormley, her uncle’s clerk, that she was left practically penniless and is a “charity” orphan. was a man.” Prince stopped suddenly and whined and then looked around at his mistress, us though to say: “S fe there!“ Carolyn May tumbled off the sled in, a flurry^ When she did so she slipped on h patch of snow-covered ice and fell.

Tm not like other girls that’s got pangs t and .mommas. ’Course I* knowed that before, but it didn’t seem—seem so hard as it does now,” she confessed with a sob. . “My deaf! my dear!” cried Miss Amanda, dropping on her knees beside the little girl, "don’t talk so! I know your uncle must love you.” "Oh, Miss Miindy!” gasped Carolyn May, “don’t you s’pose he loves other folks, too?' You know—folks he’d be gun to love ever so long ago?” The woman’s smooth cheeks burned suddenly and she stood up. , ‘T’ra ’most sure he’d never stop lov ing a person If h°’d once begun to • love ’em,” said Carolyn May, with a high opinion of the faithfulness of Uncle Joe’s character. “Do you want to know if your Uncle Joe loves you?** she asked Carolyn May at last. “Do you?” , “Oh, I do!” cried the little girt. “Then ask him,” advised Miss Amanda. “That’s the only way to do with Joe Stagg. if you want to get at the truth. Out with It, square, and ask him.” “I will do It,” Carolyn May said se riously. % * . After the-child had gone the woman went back ihto the little cottage and her countenance did -not wear the fare well smile that Carolyn May had looked back to see. Orlpplng at her heart was the old pain she had suffered years before and the conflict that hud seared her mind so long ago was roused again. “Oh, Joe! Oh, Joe! How could you?” she moaned, rocking herself to ■ su'd fn>.~ : "^How could'you?" 7~ T - '•' That very ntghfrtfte first snow flurry of the season drove against the we,st window panes of the big kitchen at the Stagg homestead. It was at supper time. 7 “I declare for’t,” said Mr. Stagg, *T T guess winter’s onto us. Aunty Rose.” f This snow did not amount to much; it \vas little more than u hoar frost, as Mr. Stagg said. This might be, how- . ever, the last chance for a Sunday walk in the woods for some time ■ami Carolyn May did not propose to miss . ■ i On this day she earnestly desired to get him off by. himself, for her heart was filled with a great purpose. Siia felt that they must come to an understandings • w— On this particular occasion Uncle Joe sat down upon the log by the , brook where Miss Amanda had once eat. Carolyn May stood before him. ‘Am I just a charity orphan? Didn’t my papa leave any money a-tall for me? Did you take me just out of charity?” “Bless me I” gasped the hardware Joseph Stagg had become quite ex cited. “Bb'ss mel” t he finally cried once more. “How do vou know I don’t love* you, Carolyn May?” “Why—why— But, Uncle Joe!.how do I know you do love me?” demanded the little girl. “You never told me so!” The startled man sank upon the log again. . * S' “Well,' maybe that’s so,” he mur mured. “I s’pose it isn’t my way to be very—very—softllke. But listen here, I'ur’lyn May.” , “Yes. sir.”, . v * c - • “I ain’t likely to tell yon very fre quently how much I—^1 think of you. Ahem! But you’d better stop worrying | about such things as money and the i like. What I’ve got conies pretty near belonging to jrou. Anyway, unless I 1 have to go to the poorhouse myself, I reckon you needn’t worry about going,” and he coughed again dryly. “As far as loving you— Well, 1*11 admit, under cross-examination, that 1 love you.” . “Dear Uncle Joe!” she sighed ecs tatically. “1 don’t mind If I am charity. If you love me. It takes all the stlifk out. And I’ll help to make you happy, tool” “Oh, oh! It’s a man!” hurst from Carolyn May’s trembling lips. “How cold he must be !” • She plumped down on her knees and began- brushing the snow* She uncovered his shoulder^ She took hold of this with her mittened hands and tried to shake the prop^ figure. . - “Oh, do wake up ! Please wake up!” she cried, digging away .the snow as fast as possible. A shaggy head was revealed, with au old cap pulled down tightly over the ears. The man moved again and grunt ed something. He half turned over, and there was blood upon the snow, and a great frosted cake of it on the side of his face. Carolyn May was dreadfully fright ened. The mans’ head was cut and the blood was smeared over the front of 1 his jacket. Now she could see a pud dle of it, right Where he had fallen on 1 ] the Ire—just as she had fallen herself. Only, he"had struck his “head oq a rick and cut himself. “Ypu poor thing!” murmured Caro lyn Mnjf. “Oh, you mustrt’t lie herol You must get up! .You'll—you’ll be frozen!” “Easy, mate,” muttered the man. “I ain’t jest right In my top-hamper I reckon. Hold hard, matey.” He tried to got up. He rt.se to bis knees, bm pitched forward agntta Carolyn May was not afraid of hitf now—only troubled. • . ‘TM take you to Miss Amanda’s,* ! cried the little girl, pulling at his cool again. “She’s a nurse, and she’ll know Just what to do for you. Come, Prince and I will take you.” Then she guided the half-blinded man to the sled, on which he managed to drop himself. ’ Prince pulled, and Carolyn May pull ed. and together they got the sled, with Point of Demobilization of ths Thirtieth Division. cation of the name of any iromaa charged with or convicted of the crime of immorality without publishing the nlame of the man also, and to pro/ide a penalty therefor.

Before .the week was over, winter had come to Sunrise Cove cud The Corners in earnest. Snow fell and drifted, until there was scarcely aay- | thing to be seen one’ 1 morning when I Carolyn May awoke and looked out of her bedroom windows but a , white, fieecy mantle. This was'more unow than the little ■girl had ever peen id.Xock.SJUll— i came down to breakfast very much ex cited. Uncle Joe had shoveled off the porch and steps, and Prince hud beaten his own dooryard in the snow in front of his house. For he had a house of his own, now—n roomy, warm one—built i by Mr. Parlow. It must be confessed that, although Uncle Joe paid for the buildirrg of his doghouse, it never would have been built by Jodidifih Parlow had It nbt been for Carolyn May.

To gether they led him into the cottage. He was not at ail a bad-looking man, although his clothing was rough and coarse. ' : “Oh, my v that’s lovely!” breathed the little girl in awed delight. “That’* ever so much better than any sled I ever had before. And Prince could draw me on it, if I only had a harness for him. He used to drug me in the part. Of course, if lie saw a cat, I had to get off and hold him.” Mr. Stagg, once started upon the path of good deeds, seemed to like U. At night he brought home certain straps and rivets, and In the tm?h<?n, much to Aunty Rose’s amazement, he fitted Prince to. a harness which the next day Carolyn May used on the dog, and Prince drew her very nicely along the beaten paths. By Saturday the loads were in splen did condition for sleighing. So Carolyn May went sledding. Out of sight of the houses grouped at The Corners the. road to town seemed as lonely as though it were a veritable wilderness. Here and there the drifts had piled six feet deep, for the wind had a free sweep across the barrens. . * “Now, there’s somebody, coming,” said Carolyn May, seeing a moving ob ject ahead between the clouds of tlrift- ing snow spray, Tb It a sleigh, Prlncey, or just a man?” She lost sight, of the object, then '?Jgtmd tr iurutn. — — — - - - TV musrbe a man.
