CAROLYN CANNOT FACE PROSPECT OF LOSING HER ONLY
FRIEND AND COMPANION.
Synopsis. Her father and mother reported lost nt sea when the
Dunraven, on which they had Balled for Europe, was sunk, Carolyn
May Cameron Hannah's Carolyn Is sent from New York to her bach
elor uncle, Joseph Stag?, nt the Corners. The reception given her by
her uncle Is not very enthusiastic. Carolyn Is also chilled by the stern
demeanor of Aunty Rfcse, Undo 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 and his one-time
sweetheart, Amanda, Parlow, and the cause of the bitterness between
the two families.
CHAPTER V Continued.
The mole In question lived under a
piece of rock wall near the garden
fence.
When Uncle Joe came home to din
ner. on one particular Saturday he
walked down to the corner of the gar
den fence, and there saw the havoc
Prince had wrought. Iu following the
line of the mole's last tunnel he had
worked his way under the picket fence
and had torn up two currant bushes
and done some damage In the straw'
berry patch.
"And the worst of it is," grumbled
. the hardware dealer, "he never caught
the mole. That mongrel really Isn't
worth a bag of dornicks to sink him In
the brook. But that's what he's going
to get this very evening when I come
home. I won't stand for him a day
longer."
Carolyn May positively turned pale
as she crouched beside the now
chained-up Prince, both arms about
his rough neck. He licked her cheek.
Fortunately, he could not understand
everything that was said to him, there
fore the pronouncement of this terri
ble sentence did not agitate him an
atom.
. Carolyn May sat for a long time un
der the tree beside the sleeping dog
and thought how different this life at
The Corners was from that she had
lived with her father and mother in
the city home. -
If only that big ship, the Dunraven,
had not sailed away with her papa
and her mamma t . ,
Carolyn May had been very brave on
that occasion. She had gone ashore
with Mrs. Price and Edna after her
mother's last clinging embrace and her
father's husky "Good-by, daughter,"
with scarcely a tear.
Of course she had been brave ! Mam
ma would return In a few weeks, and
then, after a time, papa would like
wise come back and oh 1 so rosy and
stout 1
And then, In two weeks, came the
fatal news of the sinking of the Dun
raven and the loss of all but a small
part of her crew and passengers.
Vaguely these facts had become
known to Carolyn May. She never
spoke of them. They did not seem real
to the little girl.
But now, sitting beside the con
demned Prince her companion and
drownd-od," Carolyn May sobbed. "I'd
want to be lirovvnd-ed myself, foo."
"I know, dear, Hut do you really
believe your Uncle Joseph would do
such a thing? Would he drown your
dog?"
"I I saw him putting the stones in
the bag," sobbed Carolyn May. "And
he said he would."
"But he said It when he was angry,
dear. We often say things when wo
are angry inore's the pity t which
we do not mean, and for which we are
bitterly sorry afterwards. I nm sure,
Carolyn May, that your Uncle Joo has
no Intention of drowning your dog."
"Oh, Miss Anuuulu 1 Are you pos'
five?"
"Positive! I know Joseph Stagg.
He was never yet cruel to any dumb
creature. Go ask him yVtlrself, Caro
lyn May. Whatever else he may be,
he Is not a hater of helpless and dumb
animals."
"Miss Amanda," cried Carolyn Slay,
with clasped hands, "you you are just
lifting an awful big lump off my heart !
I'll run and usk him right away."
She raced with the barking Prince
back to the Stagg premises:. Mr. Stagg

May at last "I s'pose you are hungry.
It isn't going to do you a bit of good
to eat; but you don't know it. I'll ask
Aunty Rose If she has something for
you."
She got up wearily and went across
the yard. Aunty Rose stood Just In
side the screen door.
"Don't you want any dinner, Car'lyn
May?" she asked.
"No, ma'am. I guess I'd better not
eat," said the child.
"Why not?"
"'Cause my stomach's so trembly.
I just know I couldn't keep anything
down, even If I could swallow It. But
Prlnce'll eat his, please. He he don't
know any better." .
"Tut, tut!" murmured the woman.
"He's the most sensible of the two of
you, I declare."
The -minutes of that afternoon drag
ged by In most doleful procession.
There was no idea in the little girl's
mind that Uncle Joe might change his
intention and Prince be saved from the
watery grave promised him. When
she saw the hardware dealer come in
to the yard almost an hour earlier
than their usual supper time she was
not surprised. Nor did she think of
pleading with him for the dog's life
The lltle girl watched him askance.
Mr. Stagg came directly through the
yard, stopping only at the shed for a
moment. There he secured a strong
potato sack, and with it trailing from
nis hand went half-way up the knoll
to where there was a heap of stones.

MULCH STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Protection.
(Prepared by tho. United States' Depart

After the ground freezes cover the
strawberry plants with a mulch of a
couple of inches of straw, waste liny
cut before it ripened seed or course
manure with the flue portion shaken
out. Do not uso vegetable rubbish
containing weed seeds, becuuse these
seeds will grow next year and cause
a lot of work to keep the weeds
cleaned out. The mulch protects the
ground from sudden thawing and
freezing which "heaves out" plants not
