: Something Carolyn May Wishes
Know.
to
Onrolyn May's heart was filled with
trouble.
This was the result of her first talk
uiih the old sailor. Not from him, nor
from anybody else, did Carolyn May
pvr nuv direct information that the
soilor had been aboard the Dunravcn
on her fatal voyage. But his story
awoke in the child's breast doubts and
loneinss, uncertainties and desires that
mid Iain dormant for many weeks.
i Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her
ami were kind to her. But that feel
insr of "emptiness" that had at first so
troubled Carolyn May- was returning.
She began to droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty Rose discovered this physical
change very quickly.
"She's just like a droopy chicken,'
declared the good woman, "and, good
noss knows, I have seen enough' of
them.
So, as a stimulant and a preventive
of "droopiness," Aunty Rose prescribed
boncset tea, "plenty of it.
Three times a day Carolyn May was
dosed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under tins treatment will never be
known. Carolyn May got no better,
that was sure; but one day something
happened.
Winter had moved on in its usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
had kept up all her interests after a
fashion,
Benjamin Hardy had gone to Adams
camp to work. It seemed fie could use
a peevy, or canthook, pretty well, hav
ing done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim, the hackman, -worked at
' loeuinsr in the winter months, too. He
usual'y went past the Stagg place with
a team four times each day
There was something Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy, but
she did not want anybody else to know
what It was not even Uncle Joe or
Aunty Rose. Once in the fall and be
fore the snow came she had ridden as
far as Adams' camp with Mr. Parlow,
He had gone there for some hickory
wood.
But, now, to ride on the empty sled
going in and on top of the load of logs
coming out of tlte forest, Carolyn May
felt sure, would be much more exciting.
She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
on a Friday evening
".Well, now, if it's pleasant, I don't
see anything to forbid. Do you, Aunty
Rose?" Mr. Stagg returned,
"I presume Tim will take the best of
care of her," the woman said. "Maybe,
getting out more In the air will make
her look less peaked, Joseph Stagg."
The excitement of preparing to go
to the camp the next morning brought
the roses into Carolyn May's cheeks
and made her eyes sparkle. When
Tim, the hackman, went Into town
with his first load he was forewarned
by Aunty Rose that he would have
company going back.
"Pitcher of George Washington !" ex
claimed Tim. "The boys will near 'bout
take a holiday.'
.There was but one woman in the
camp, Judy Mason. She lived in one
of the log huts with her husband. He
was a sawyer, and Judy did the men's
washing.
Benjamin Hardy was pleased, in
deed, to see his little friend again.
"Xou come with me, please," she
whispered to the old seaman after din

"I've Been So Near Drownin' Myself,
That They Thought I Was Dead
When I Was Hauled Inboard.
ner. "You can smoke. You haven't
got to go back to work yet, and Tim
is only just loading his sled. So we
can talk." .
"Aye, aye. little miss. What'H'we
talk about?" queried Benjamin cau
tiously, for he remembered that he
was to be very circumspect in his con
versation with lior.
" "I want you to tell me something,
Benjamin," she said.
"Sail ahead, matey," he responded
with apparent heartiness, filling hi?;
' pipe meanwhile.
. . .."Why, Benjamin you must know,
r ' -
you know, for you've been to sea so
much Benjamin, I want to kuow If It
hurts much to be drowml-ed?
"Hurts much?" gasped the old sea
man. '
"Yes, sir. lo . people that get
drownd-ed feel much pain? Is it a suf-
ferln' way to die? I want to know,
Benjamln,.'cause my papa and mamma
died that 'way," continued the child,
choklmr a little. "It does seem as
though I'd just got to know." '
"Aye, aye,", muttered the innn. "I
see. An' I kin tell ye, Cnr'lyn May, as
clos't ns anybody kin. I've been so
near drownin' myself that tlicy thought
I was dead when I was hauled Inboard.
"Comln' back from drowning Is a
whole lot worse than belu' drowned.
You take It from me."
"Well,"' sighed Carolyn May, "I'm
glad to know that. It's bothered me a
good deal. If my lnaninia and papa
had to be dead", maybe that was the
nicest May for them to go."
Since Joseph Stagg had listened to
the rambljng tale of the sailor regard
ing the sinking of the Diuuiiveii, he
had borne the fate of his sister and
her husband much in mind.
He had come no nearer to deciding
what to do with the apartment in New
York and its furnishings.
After Jistening to Benjamin Hardy's
story, the hardware dealer felt less in
clined than before to close up the af
fairs of Carolyn May's small "estate."
Not that he for a moment believed that
there was a possibility of Ihinnah anil
her husband being alive. Five months
had passed. In these days of wireless
telegraph and fast sea trallic such a
thing could riot be possible. The imagi
nation of the practical hardware mer
chant could not visualize it ,
One day when Carolyn May was vis
iting Mrs. Gormley diet burst in quite
unexpectedly, for it was not yet mid-
afternoon.
Mr. Stagg has let me off to take
Carolyn May slidin'. The ice ain't
goin' to be safe in the cove for long
now. Spring's In the air o'reatly. Both
brooks are runnin' full."
Carolyn May was delighted. Al
though the sky was overcast and a
storm threatening when tney got down
on the ice, neither the boy nor the lit
tle girl gave the weather a second
thought. Nor had Mr. Stagg consid
ered the weather when he had allowed
diet to leave the store that afternoon.
diet strapped ..on his skates, and
then settled the little girl firmly on her
sled, with Prince riding behind.
The boy harnessed himself with the
long towrope and skated away from
the shore, dragging the sled after him
at a brisk pace.
Oh, my !" squealed Carolyn May,
"there isn't anybody else on the ice."
"We won't run into nobody, then,"
laughed the boy.
It was too misty outside the cove to
see the open water,; but it was there,
and Chet knew it as well as anybody.
He had no intention of taking any
risks especially with Carolyn May in
his charge. '
The wind blow out of the cove, too.
As they drew away from the shelter of
the land they elt Its strength.
Naturally, neither the boy nor the
little girl and surely not the dog
looked back toward the land. Other
wise, they would have seen the .snow
flurry that swept down over the to.wn
and quickly hid it from the cove.
Chet was skating his very swiftest.
Carolyn May was screaming with de
light. Prince barkqd joyfully. And,
suddenly, in a startling fashion, they
came to a fissure In the Ice !
The boy darted to one side, heeled
on his right skate, and stopped. He
had jerked the sk-d aside, too, yelling
to Carolyn May to "hold fast!" But
Prince was Hung from it, and scram
bled over the Ice, barking loudly.
"Oh, dear me!" cried Carolyn May.
You stopped too quick, Chet Gorm
ley. Goodness ! There's a hole in the
ice !"
"And I didn't see it till we war al
most in it," acknowledged Chut. "It's
more'n a hole. Why! there's a great
field of ice broke off and sailin" out
into the lake."
"Oh, my!" gasped the little girl".
The boy knew at once that he mast

incuts, he might have discovered the
"Mining storm in season to withdraw
bis pu-miss-ion to Chet to take Caro
lyn aiay out on the ice.
It was always dark enough in the
little back office In winter for the bard-'
wnre dealer to have a lamp burning. So
ho did not notice the snow Hurry that
had taken Sunrise Cove In Its arms
until he chanced to walk out to the
front of the store for needed exercise.
"I declare to nam, It's snowing!"
muttered Joseph Slngg. "Thought we'd
got through with that for this season."
He opened the store door. There was
a chill, clammy wind, and the snow
was damp and packed quickly under
foot.
"Hum!, If that Chet Gormley were
hero now, he might he of some use for
once," thought Mr. Stagg.
Suddenly he bethought him of the
errand that had taken the boy away
from the store. '
"Hey, Stagg !" shouted a shopkeeper
from over the way, who hml likewise
come to the door, "did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" asked Joseph Stagg,
puzzled,
"There she goes again ! That's Ice,
old man. She's breaking up. We'll
have spring with us in no time now.
The reverberating crash that had
startled Chet Gormley had startled Jo
seph Stagg as well.
- "M- goodness!" gasped the hard
ware dealer, and he started instantly
away from the store, "bareheaded as he
was, without locking the door behind

in business on the main street of Sun

he believed the seamstress possessed
would not have allowed them to ven
ture.. Yet, why had Chet not returned?
He quickened his pace. He was run
ning slipping and sliding over the wet
snow when he turned into the street
on which his store boy and his wid
owed mother lived.
Mrs. Gormley saw him coming from
the windows of the tiny front room.
Mr. Stagg plunged into, the little
house, head down, and belligerent.
"Where's that plagued boy?" he de
manded. "Don't tell me he's taken
Hannah's Car'lyn out on the cove In
this storm!"
'Tint you told him he could 1"
wailed the widow.
"What if I did? I didn't know 'twas
going to snow like this, did I?"
"Eut it wasn't snowin' when they
went," said Mrs. Gormley, plucking up
some little spirit. "I'm sure It wasn't
Chetwood's fault. Oh, dear!"'
"Woman," groaned Joseph Stagg. "It
noesnt matter whose fault It is or if
it's anybody's fault. The mischief's
done. The ice is breaking up. It's
drifting out of the inlet."
Just at this moment an 'unexpected
voice broke into the discussion.
"Are you positive they n-ent out on
the cove to slide, Mrs. Gormley?" .
"Oh, yes, I be, Mnndy," answered
the seamstress. "Ghet snid ho was
goin' there, and what Chet says he'll
do, he always does."
"Then the ice has broken away and
they have been carried out into the
lake," groaned Mr. Stagg.
Mandy I'arlow came quickly to the
little hall. '
"Perhaps not, Joseph," she aid,
speaking directly to the hardware deal
er. "It may be the storm. It snows so
fast they would easily get turned
around-be unable to i.nd the shore."
Another reverberating crash echoed
from the cove. Mrs. Gormley wrung
her bands.' (
"Oh, my Chet! Oh, my Chet!" she
wailed. "He'll be drowned !"
"He won't be, if he's got any sense,"
snapped Mr. Stagg. "I'll get some men
and we'll go nfter,them."
"Call the dog, Joseph Stagg. Cull the
dog," advised Miss Amanda. ..
"Heh? Didn't Prince "-go with 'em?"

is especially true of roughages. Such
feeds are bulky and In most cases must
be baled at a considerable cost; the
freight rates also are much greuter in
pioiiortion to the nutrients contained
than on the grains.
When land Is high In price and the
markets for dairy products are good.lt
Is often Impracticable to grow all the
feeds on the farm. In such cases ar
rangements first should be made to
grow the roughage, on account of the
high cost of transporting these feeds.
In most casqs the prime object of the
farm under such conditions will bo to
supply the greatest possible quantity
of roughage.
It Is v difficult problem to provide a
system of winter feeding of roughage
which will make the best use of home
grown roughage and at the same time
Insu-e full production.
In addition to containing the proper
nutrients In the right proportion, part
of the rp.tion should be of a succulent
nature. It is extremely difficult, If not
impossible, to keep cows in full produc
tion throughout the winter without
Some succulent feed. There ure two
chief sources of succulent feed for
winter feeding silage and roots. Of
these, silage is in almost universal use
by commercial dairymen. While al
most any green ' crop may he
used for silage, the heavy yields
of corn, as compared with other
trops, and Its comparative ease of
handling;, together with its keeping
qualities, make it the leading silage
crop. Where the cost of land and the
prices of dairy products are high, and
the system of farming of necessity Is
Intensive, It Is questionable whether
the dairyman should consider any oth
er silage crop. '

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The chief function of roots in cattle
feeding is to supply a succulent feed.
Under general farm concfltions the
quantity of nutrients grown per acre
in root crops Is small in comparison
to the cost of production. These root
crops, however, can be preserved dur
ing the winter equally well whether
largo or small quantities are fed
each day, and therefore have special
application when only a few cows jire
to be fed. Of the different root crops
mangel wurzels furnish the greatest
yield per acre. Other kinds of beets
and turnips and.carr.ols may be used.
Turnips, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
cause a bad llavor in the products if
fed immediately before milking.

Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callous stops soreness at once, and
soon the corn or callous dries up and
lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never Inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. . A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callous
from one's feet. Millions of America's
women will' welcome this announce
ment since theinauguration of the
high heels. If your druggist doesn't
have freezone tell him to order a small
bottle for you. Adv.
