He heard the little girl screaming "Oh, Uncle Joel Oh, Uncle Joe! Here we are !" Cherry rattled the buckboard down to the bottom of the hollow and stopped. There was some smoke here, but not much.

"But I'm here, Mandy, and I'm not too late!" he cried; and, somehow neither of them v could, perhaps, have evplained just how his arms went around her and her hands rested on his shoulders, while she looked earn estly Into his face. "Oh, Joe! Joe!" It was like a sur rendering sob. - A "its not too late, Is it, Mandy? Say it lsnt too latej" he pleaded. "Xo, it's not too late." she whis pered. "If if we're not too old." "Old !" almost shouted Joseph Stagg. "I don't remember- of ever feeling so young as I do right now!" and sud- denly he stooped and kissed her. "Bless me! what fools we've been all this time!" "Oh, Uncle Joe! Oh, Miss Amanda!" cried Caroyln May, standing before them, and pointing with a rather grimy index finger. "You aren't mad at each other any .more, are you?

"The wind is carrying brands this way," muttered the man. "A dozen new fires will be started. Well, gid-ap, Cherry I" and he seized the whip again. The horse was well spent now, but he was plucky. lie tried to increase his stride. A hot breath of wind came rushing through the forest, bending the branches and shaking the leafy foliage.

As the man spoke, a blazing brand swung through the air and came down, CHAPTER XVII. "Two's Company." Toward the enst the forest tract was completely burned to the Imnks of Cod ler's creek. As the wind which hud4 sprung up had driven t lie fire west ward, there was little danger of the flames pressing nearer tlinn the creek to Sunrise Cove and The Corners. Joseph Stagg led the horse out of the water and advised Miss Amanda, and Carolyn May to get Into the seat of the buckboard ngnlii. Then he set forth, leading the horse along the nar row bench, while Prince followed wearily in the rear. It was a rough route they followed, but the blackened forest was still too hot for them to. pass through, had they been able" to find a path. This was a lonely strip of shore and they saw no living soul but themselves. It was a long tramp, and the horse, the dog, and the man were nllko wearied. Carolyn May went fast asleep with -her head pillowed In Miss Aman da's lap. The latter and Joseph Stagg talked much. Indeed, there was much for them to say after all . these years of silence. The woman, worn and scorched of face, looked down on the smutted and sweating Tuan with an expression la her eyes that warmed him to the mar row. She was proud of him. And the gaze of love and longing that the hard- merehant turned upon Amanda Tarlow would have amazed those peo ple that believed he had consideration and thought only for business. In these few hours of alarm and close intimacy the man and the woman had leaped all the barriers time and pHde had set up. Nothing further could keep Joseph Stagg and Amanda Parlow apart. And yet they never for one instant discussed .the original cause of their estrangement. That was a dead issue. The refugees reached The Corners about nine o'clock. Jodidiah Tarlow had hobbled up to the store and was just then organizing a party of search ers to go to the rescue of the hard ware dealer and those of whom he had set forth in search. The village turned out en masse to welcome the trio who had so mirac ulously escaped the lire. Aunty Rose's relief knew no bounds. Mr. I'arlow was undeniably glad to see his daugh ter safe; otherwise, he would never have overlooked the pitiable state his liorse was In. Poor Cherrv would never be the same unblemished animal again. - "Well, I vum!" he said to Josenh Stagg, "you done it ! Better'n I could. too, I reckon. I'll take the You comin with me, Mandv?"

He drew It out dripping with water and slime. "Look out, here !

"Jow, good horse!" he yelled to Cherry, leaping back to the seat. "Cid. ap!" The horse started up the slono. An. other swirling brand came down upon them. Joseph Stagg fought it off with his bare hand. His shirt sleeve caught fire and he was painfully burned on the forearm before he could smorl...r the blaze. Another flaming brand fell, lnndini? on Cherry's back. The horse squealed and leaped forward at a pace which Mr. Stagg could not. control.

Eggs can be added from day to day as they are obtained, making sure that the eggs are covered by about 2 inches of waterglass solution. Cover the con tainer and place it In a cool place where it will not have to be moved. Look at it from time to time, and if there seems to be danger of too much evaporation, add sullicient cool boiled water to keep the eggs covered. Eggs removed from the solution should be rinsed in clean, cold water.

LImcwater also is satfsfactorv for preserving eggs and is slightly less ex pensive than waterclass. A Snitun is made by placing 2 or 3 imnmia unslaked lime in 5 irnibma p ..... which has been boiled and allowed to cool, and allowing the mixture to stand until the lime settles and the liquid Is clear. The eggs should be placed in a clean earthenware jar or other suit able vessel and covered to a depth of 2 Inches with the liquid.
