EIGHT PAQI8 L PAGE VS THE INDEPENDENCE ENTERPRISE, INDEPENDENCE, OREGON. Carolyn of the Comers BY RUTH BELMORE ENDICOTT Copjright, BIS, by Do4d, Uoad A Company, Ino. ft 'PRINCE BECOMES A HERO OF ANOTHER ADVENTURE WHICH INCREASES HIS POPULARITY. Synopsis. ITer father, and mother reported lost at sea when the Dunraven, on which they had Balled for Euroue, was sunk, Carolyn Slay Cameron Uanua's Car'lyn Is sent from New York to her bach elor uncle, Joseph Stags', at the Corners." The reception given her by her ancle Is not very enthusiastic Carolyn Is also chilled by the stern demeanor of Aunty Rose, Uncle Joe's housekeeper. Stngg 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. Chrolyn learns of the estrangement between her untie and his one-time sweetheart, Amanda rarlow, and the cause of the bitterness between the two families. Trince, the mongrel dog that Carolyn brought with her, and the boon companion of the lonesome girl, Is in disfavor with Untie 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. , II CHAPTER VII. A Sunday Walk. - Really if Prince had been a vain dog his ego would certainly have be come unduly developed because of this incident; The Corners, as a commu nity, voted him an acquisition, whereas heretofore he had been looked upon as a good deal of a nuisance. After she recovered from her fright Miss Minnie walked home with Caro lyn May and allowed Prince's delight ed little mistress to encourage the "hero" to "shake hands with teacher." "Now, you see, he's acquainted with you, Miss Minnie," said Carolyn May. "lie's an awful nice dog. You didn't know just how nice he was before." Almost everybody went to church and nil the children to Sunday school, which was held first. The Rev. Afton Driggs, though serious-minded, was a loving man. lie was fond of children and he and his childless wife gave much of their at tention to the Sunday school. Mrs. Driggs taught Carolyn May's class of little girls. Mrs. Driggs did her very best, too, to get the children to stay to the preaching service, but Carolyn May had to confess that the pastor's discourses were usually hard to under stand. "And he is always reading about the Begats.' she complained gently to Uncle Joe as they went home together on this particular Sunday, "and I can't keep -interested when he does that. I s'pose the 'Begats were very nice people, but. I'm sure they weren't related to us they've all eat such funny names." ; "Hum!" ejaculated Uncle Joe, emothering a desire to laugh. "Flow gently, sweet Afton, does select his passages of Scripture mostly from the 'valleys of dry bones,' I allow. You've got it about right there, Carolyn May." "Uncle Joe," said the little girl, talk ing her courage in both hands, "will you do something for me?" Then, as he stared down at her from under his bushy brows, she added : "I don't mean that you aren't always doing some thing for me letting me sleep here at your house and eat with you and all that. But something special." "What Is the 'something special?' " asked Mr. Stagg cautiously. "Something I want you to do to day. You always go off to your store after dinner and when you come home it's too dark." ; "Too dark for what?" "For us to take a walk." said the little girl very earnestly. "Oh, Uncle Joe, you don't know how dreadful I miss taking Sunday walks with my papa! Of course we took 'em In the morning, for he had to go to work oa the paper in the afternoon, but we did just about go everywhere. If you would go with me," the little girl added wistfully, "just this afternoon, i seems to me I wouldn't feel so so empty." "Humph!" said Uncle Joe, clearing ms tnroat. "If It's going to do you any particular good, Car'lyn May. suppose I can take a walk with you.M It was a crisp day one of those au tumn days when the tang of frost re mains in the air, in spite of all the efforts of the sun to warm It Here and there they stopped to pick up the glossy brown chestnuts that had burst from their burrs. That Is, Larolyn May and her uncle did. Prince after a 6lngle attempt to nose one of the prickly burrs, left them strictly tuune. "lou might Just as well try to eat Aunty Rose's strawberry needle cush ion, i'rlncey," the little girl said wisely. "You'll have a sorer nose than Amos Bartlett had when he tried to me u aown with a wood rasp." xiunir. ejaculated Mr. Stagg, "whatever possessed that Bartlett cnim to do such a fool trick?" "Why, you know his nose Is awfully big," said Carolyn May. "And his mother is always worried about It She must have worried Amos, too, for one aay last week he went over to Mr. Parlow's shop, borrowed a wood rasp uu inea to me ins nose down to a proper size. And now he has to go with his nose all greased and shiny till the new skin grows back on it." "Bless me, what .these kids will do V muttered Mr, Stagg. that moment that the girl nor to Joseph StuKg when he saw It. It was coiled right nt Miss Amanda's back. She did not see It, for she wna quite as intent upon keeping her face turned from Mr. Stagg as he had been determined to Ignore her presence. Carolyn May was slinking and help less. Not so Prince, lie repeated his challenging growl and then sprang at the vibrating head. Miss Auiaudu uttered a stilled scream and jumped up from the log, whirling to see what was happening behind her. Joseph Stagg dropped Carolyn May's hand and leaped forward with his walking stick raised to strike. Rut the mongrel dog was there, first. Ho wisely caught the blacksnake behind the head, his strong, sharp teeth sev ering its vertebrae. "Good dog!" shouted Mr. Stagg ex citedly. "Fine doc!" "Oh, Miss Amanda !" shrieked Caro lyn May. "I I thought he was going to sting you I did !" She ran to the startled woman and clung to her hand. Prince nosed the dead snake. Mr. Stagg looked exceed ingly foolish. Miss Amanda recovered her color and her voice simultaneously. "What a brave dog yours is, little girl," she said to Carolyn May. "And I do so despise snakes!" Then she looked directly at Mr. Stngg and bowed gravely. "I thank you," she said, but so coldly, so Carolyn May thought, that her voice might have come "Just off an Iceberg." "Oh, I didn't do anything really I didn't," stammered the man. "It was the dog." Both looked very uncomfortable. Joseph Stagg began to pick up the scnttered chestnuts from the over turned basket. The lady stooped and whispered to Carolyn May: "Come to see me, my dear. I want to know you better." Then she kissed Carolyn May and slipped quietly awny from the brook, disappearing quickly in the under growth. Joseph Stagg nnd the little girl went on across the stepping stones, wliile Prince splashed throuch the wnter. IF HE CAME NOW If ha enme now!

To he played with again. My heart would little girl and the man, becoming really good comrades on this walk, met with an adventure. At least to Carolyn May it was a real adventure and one she was not to forget for a long, long time. rnnco suddenly bounded away, barking, down a pleasant glade, through the bottom of which flowed a brook. Carolyn May caught a glimpse of something brown moving down there and she called shrilly to the dog to come back. "But that's somebody, Uncle Joe," Carolyn May said with assurance, as the dog slowly returned. " "Prince never barks like that unless it's a per son. And I saw something move." "Somebody taking a walk, like us. Couldn't be a deer," said Mr. Stagg. "Oh," cried Carolyn May later, "I see It again. That's a skirt I see. Why, It's a lady !" Mr. Stagg suddenly grew verj stern- looking, as well as silent. All the' beauty of the day and of the glade they had entered seemed lost on him. He went on stubbornly, yet as thouKh loath to proceed. "Why," murmured Carolyn May. "it's Miss Amanda rarlow I That's who it is!" The carpenter's daughter was sit ting on a bare brown log by the brook. She was dressed very prettily, all In brown. Carolyn May wanted awfully to speak to Miss Amanda. The brown ba An opened book filled full with witchery, Ml led, ton, with pain. An opened book that had bruit l" ft too lotift Upon a dtiaty shelf.

This busbies one s unite or in Hogs Contract Colds and Pneumonia Caution Urged Trouble often develops among hogn at this season of the year In the form of cold and pneumonia, according to Dr. Robert Graham, professor of ani mal pathology at the University of Illinois. Doctor Grohnnt gives warn ing that when plus of all ages ami sizes are allowed to pile tip at night In 'a warm shed some nre likely to come out steaming In the morning nnd that the cold winds nnd frosty atmos phere will have a bnd effect on them. He recommends the following precau tions: Hog houses and feeding places, runways, .fences and sheds, should be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with a 3 per cent water solution of com pound of cresol (U. S. I.) or Its rec ognized equivalent. Quicklime should be scattered freely about the lots, af ter they have bren raked clean of cobs and manure. Wallow should be drained and fenced off, all small holes filled nnd large, fields where the Infec tion prevails should be cultivated.

And Uncle Joe was Quite stubborn He stared straight ahead down the path without letting the figure on the log get into the focus of his vision. Hanging to Uncle Joe's hand but looking longingly at the silent figure on the log, Carolyn May was going uuwn 10 uie stepping stones by which wey were to rross the brook, when suddenly Prince came to a halt rleht at the upper end of the log and his ooay stiffened. - "What is it, Princer whlsnered Ms little mistress. "Come here." But the dog did not move. He even growled not at Miss Amanda, of course, but at something on the log. And It was Just then thnr f!ni May wanted to scream and she could not !

The fact that It was only a large blacksnake poisonous made no difference at that moment to the doe or to th nw. about Miss Amanda Pnrlow nnd she believed her Uncle Joe was, too. "Uncle Joe," she said, "would that bad old snake have stung Miss Amanda?" "Huh? No; I reckon not," admitted Mr. Stagg absent-mindedly. "Rlnck snakes don't bite. A big one like that can squeeze Some." "But you were scared of it like me and Prince. And for Mfss Amanda," said Carolyn May very much in earnest. "I guess 'most everybody Is scared by the sight of a snake, Car'lyn May." "But you were scared for Miss Amanda's sake just the same as I was," repeated the little girl decidedly. "Well?" he growled, looking away, troubled by her insistence. "Then you don't hate her, do you?" tne child pursued. "I'm glad of that, Uncle Joe, for I like her very much. l think she's a beautiful lady." To this Uncle Joe said nothing. l guess," thought Carolvn Mnv wisely, -mat when two folks love each other and get angry the love's there just the same.

Poor Miss Aman da 1 Maybe If they'd Just try to look up and look for brighter things they'd get over being mad and be nanny again." When Uncle Joe and Carolyn May returned from this adventurous walk Mr. Stagg went heavily into his own room, closed the door and 'even locked it. He went over to tHe old-fashioned walnut bureau that stood against the wan between the two windows and stood before it for some moments in an attitude of deep reflection. Finally, he drew his bunch of keys from his pocket and opened one of th tm email drawers in the heavy piece of lurmrure the only locked drawer there was. He drew forth a tintype inciure, iaaea now, Dut clear enono-h to show him the features of the two muiviuuais printed on the sensitized plate. His own eyes looked out of tho nhn. tograph proudly.

Not all eggs from the best breeding stock are good for hatching purposes. Often the eggs nre small, uneven In shape or poor In shell texture. Small eggs should never be Incubated, as they do not hatch well, nnd pullets from them often lay undersized eggs. The small egg is not wanted upon the market. The two ounce egg Is the standard in weight Only clean eggs should be selected for incubation. Dirty or washed eggs never hatch as well as do those which have never been soiled. Since the egg begins to Incubute when it reaches a temperature of CS degrees it should be kept below that point. From 45 to 05 degrees Is the range of . temperature permissible for eggs that are being kept for hntchlng. Kggs should not be kept any longc than is absolutely necessnry. If they are turned frequently and are kept at the correct temperature they may be kept for two weeks, before being piacea in the incubator, but It is not advisable to try to keep them for that long a time. of (lri'Hsiiig all In a harmonious coin blnnllou of two colorM ut tlm iiiomI, ob serves a liisliloli corre.spmitn'iii, i" mi Idea Unit the wellilrested Frenrli wmnaii Is very clever about but which rcpresei ' Mnmst too much time for the avti.
