Ino, III I CAROLYN'S SUNNY DISPOSITION BEGINS TO HAVE ITS EFFECT UPON AUNTY ROSE. Synopsis. Her father and mother reported lost at sen when the Dunraven, on which they had sailed for Europe, was sunk, Carolyn May Cameron Hannah's Carolyn la sent from New York to her bach elor uncle, Joseph Stagg. at the Comers. 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 Carolyn bas baeai left practically penniless and consigned to his care as guardian. CHAPTER IV Continued. Therefore General Bolivar charged with outspread wings and quivering fan. His eyesight was not good, how ever. He charged the little girl In stead of the roistering dog. Carolyn May frankly screamed. Had the angry turkey reached the little girl he would have beaten her down and perhaps seriously injured her. He missed her the first time, but i turned to charge again. Prince barked loudly, circling, around the bristling turkey cock, undecided just how to get Into the battle But Aunty Rose knew no fear of anything wearing feathers. "Scat, you brute!" she cried, and made a grab for the turkey, gripping him with her 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, Aunty Rose!" gasped Carolyn May at ' last. "He must be sorry." With a final stroke Aunty Rose al lowed the big fowl to go and he ran away fast enough. "Your dog, child, does not know his manners. If he Is going to stay here with you he must learn that fowl are not to be chased nor startled." ""Oh, Aunty Rose!" begged the little girl, "don't punish Prince! Not not that way. Please don't! Why, he's never been spanked in his life! He wouldn't know what it meant. Dear Aunty Rose " "I shall not beat him, Car'Iyn May," interrupted Aunty Rose. "But he must learn his lesson. He must learn that liberty is not license. Bring him here, Car'Iyn May." She led the way to an 'open coop of laths in the middle of the back yard. This was a hutch in which she put broody hens when she wished to break up their desire to set. She opened the gate of it and motioned Prince to enter. The dog looked pleadingly at his little mistress' face, then Into the worn ana siern countenance, seeing no reprieve In either, with drooping tall he slunk Into the cage. With one hand clutching her frock over her heart, Carolyn May's big blue eyes overflowed. "It's just as if he was arrested," she said. "Poor Prince! Has he got to stay there always, Aunty Rose?" "He'll stay till he learns his lesson," said Mrs. Kennedy grimly, and went on Into the garden. Carolyn May sat down close to the side of the cage, thrust one hand be tween the slats and held one of the dog's front paws. She had hoped to go Into the garden to help Aunty Rose pick peas, but she could not bear to leave Prince alone. By and by Mrs. Kennedy came up from the garden, her pan heaped with pods. She looked neither in the di rection ot the prisoner nor at hl8 little mistres3. Prince whined and lay down. He had begun to realize now that this was no play at all, but punishment. He blinked his eyes at Carolyn May and looked as sorry as ever a dog with cropped ears and an abbreviated tall could look. The peas and potatoes were cook ing for dinner when Aunty Rose ap peared again. There was the little girl, ail of a dewy sleep, lying on the grass by the prison pen. Aunty Rose would have released Prince, but, though he wagged his stump of a tail at her and yawned and blinked, she aau sun her doubts regarding a mon grel's good nature. She could net allow the child to sleep there, however; so, stooping, picked up Carolyn May and carried her comfortably into the house, laying her down on the sitting-room couch to have her nap out as she supposed, without awakening her. Aunty Rose came away softly and closed the door and while she finished Setting dinner she tried to make no aoise which would awaken the child. Mr. Stagg came home at noon, quite as full of business as usual. To tell the truth, Mr. Stagg always felt bash ful In Aunty Rose's presence; and he tried to hide his affliction by conversa tion. So he talked steadily through the meal. But somewhere about at the pie :ourse, It was he stopped and looked iround curiously. Bless me 1" he exclaimed, "where's Sannnh's f!nr'lrn1 - J u ( "Taking a nap," said Aunty Rose composedly. "Hum 1 can't he child get up to her victuals?" demanded Mr. Stagg. "You begin serving that young one sepa rately and you'll make yourself work, Aunty Rose." "Never trouble about that which doesn't concern you, Jo-n-ph Stagg, responded his housekeeper rather tartly. "The Lord has placed the care of Hannah's Car'Iyn on you and me and I'll do my share and do It prope 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! I know you for what you are other people don't. If the neighbors heard you say that they'd think you were a heathen. Your own sister's child !" "Now, you send Tim, the hackman, up after me t.iis afternoon. I've got to go shopping. The child ha.sh't a thing to wear but 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. Seems a shame to dress a child like her In black it's punish ment. Makes her affliction double, I do say." "Well, I suppose we've got to flat ter Custom or Custom will weep," growled Mr, Stagg. "But where the money's coming from " "Didn't Car'lyn's pa leave her none?" asked Aunty Rose promptly. "Well not what you'd call a for tune," admitted Mr. Stagg slowly. "Thanks be you've got plenty, then. And If you haven't I have," said the woman in a tone that quite closed the question of finances. "Which shows me just where I get off at," muttered Joseph Stagg as he He Charged the Little Girl Instead of the Roistering Dog. started down the walk for the store. "I knew that young one would be a nuisance." Carolyn May, who was quite used to taking a nap on the days that she did not go to school, woke up, as bright as a newly minted dollar, very soon after her Uncle Joe left for the store. "I'm awfully sorry I missed him." she confided to Aunty Rose when she danced into the kitchen. "You see. I want to get acquainted with Uncle Joe just as fast as possible. And he's at home so little I guess that it's going to be hard to do 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, I'm getting 'quainted with you fast, Aunty Rose! You heard me say my prayers and when you laid me down on the couch Just now you kissed me." Aunty Rose actually blushed. "There, there, child !" she exclaimed. "You're too noticing. Eat your dinner, that i ve savea warm for you." "Isn't Prince to have any dinner, Aunty Rose?" asked the little girl. "You may let him out, if you wish, 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 irate of the Stagg place and stopped. Aoid man with a square-cut chin whisker and clothing ami 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, ntn't you out o' yer bailiwick?" queried Tim, the lmcknian, 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 hard to get all those buttons buttoned straight. "I don't know," she said, perturbed. "Does It show?" "Huh?" grunted Tim. "Does what show?" "What you said," said Carolyn May accusingly. "I don't believe It does." "Heyl" chuckled the hack driver suddenly. "I meant, do you 'loy 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 hackmnn. "Yes, sir. And Prince too. With my Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose." "Pitcher of George Washington I" ejaculated Tim. "You don't mean Joe Stagg's takeu 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 dial) silk. Aunty Rose climbed Into the creaky old vehicle. Are you going to be gone long?' asked Carolyn May politely. "Not more than two hours, child," said the housekeeper. "Nobodv will bother you here " "Not wliile that dog's with her, I reckon," put In Tim, the backman. "May I come down the road to meet you, Aunty Rose?" asked the little girl. "I know the way to Uncle Joe's store." "I don't know-any reason why you can't come to meet me," replied Mrs. Kennedy. "Anyway, you can come along the road as far as the first house. You know that one?" "Yes, ma'am. Mr. Parlow's," said Carolyn May. ' Carolyn May went bnck 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 this 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 ail the folks In all these houses around here were dead!" They might have been for all the human noises she heard. "Goodness me !" she said again, and this time she jumped up, startllnsr Prince from his nap. "Maybe there is a spell 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 toeether and took the dusty road toward the town. They soon came in sicht of the Par. low house and carpenter shop. vve can't go beyond that." said Carolyn May. "Aunty Rose told us not to. And Uncle Joe says the carpenter-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 the sound of a plane shrieking over a long board. "Oh, Princey 1" gasped Carolyn May. "I b'lleve he's making long, curly shavings I" If there was one thing Carolyn May adored it wa3 curls. Suddenly Mr. Jedidlah 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 fBfnute, poising the plane over his work. Then he put It uown anu came to the door of the shop. "You're Hannah Stagg's little girl, aren't you?" he asked. "Yes, sir," she said, nnd sighed. Dear me, he knew who she was right 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 was 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."

Intensive Poultry Culture on nervous hens are apt to develop Mich vices as ecR-entlnir and feather entlmx. The bad tendencies mentioned do not prohibit the keephiK of law and nmnll breeds in small back yards, but make It necessary for tho keeper to use extraordinary care to keep them In pood condition nnd productive. Whlto and llfjlit-eolured varieties are not desirable for Biuull back yards, because their plumage soils too easily. ' - As a wile It Is most satisfactory to buy lienn of n local poultry keeper or dealer In live poultry. IVslrablo wnall flocks nro frequently offered by peoplo who are obliged by change of work or of residence to Bell their poul try. Dealers In live poultry everywhere sort out from their general receipts the hens that show good breeding and quality to sell to biifk-ynrd poultry keepers. For tho back-yard flock kept to produce eggs only It Is not necessary to have hens of extra good standard quality. What breeders of standard poul try call choice utility hens are ns Rood aa any for egg production and cost but little more thnn ordinary mongrels. Hens of this grade In the medium sized breeds are usually a little under standard weights, and have nuperllcinl faults as unsoundness of color, or Irregularity f markings or of the nhape of the comb which in no way affect their laying capacity but iuako them unfit for exhibition and undesirable for breeding purposes. When buying hens In person, particular attention should be given to the general condition whether the bird seems vigorous nnd lively and to the appearance of tho comb nnd the condition of the feet. Healthy bens have bright red combs nnd bright eyes. A slight paleness of the comb Is simply an indication that the hen Is not laying at the time; but a bird whose conih has either a yellowish or a bluish cast should be rejected, for these are symp toms of Internal disorders. The nkln and scules of legs nnd toes should be smooth, and the soles of the feet eoft and free from corns.

When Dame Fortune goes calling she utterly disregards "at home" days. A military man can Immediately tell to what division a soldier belongs by glancing at the cord on his hat, but to the average citizen the color of the hat cord denotes little or nothing. It Is an Interesting feature to be familiar with, especially now when so many soldiers are seen all over the country, and any one who takes the trouble to learn the following list will be reward ed by belnfe able to satisfy his own curiosity respecting liny soldier ho happens to see without having to ask questions; A cord of light blue signifies that the wearer belongs to the Infantry; red denotes artillery; yellow, cavalry; buff, quartermaster's corps; red and white, engineer's corps; orange and white, signal corps; red and black, ordnance; black and white, field clerk; maroon and white, medical corps; black and gold, officers; silver and black, adjutant general's clerk ; green, instructor home guards, and green and white, home guards. As the Earth's Human Race Advances It Also Develops Man has been on the earth perhaps some twenty odd thousand years, and It Is only the last 3,000 that we are much concerned with. To suppose that a modern Englishman must nec essarily be at a higher stage of mental development than an ancient Greek Is almost the same mistake as to argue that Browning must be a better poet than Wordsworth because he came later.
