"If you think the dog la hungry, ' Car'lyn Mny," she said, "you would better k'lve bins this before we break our fust." "Oh, Aunty Rose!" gasped the little girl, lur sober face all a-sinlle.

"Joseph Stagg," said Aunty Rose, lifting down, "ask u blessing." Dncle Joe's harsh voice seemed sud denly to become gentle as be rever ently snld grace. Mr. Btagg wns In haste to eat and get back to the store. "Or that Chet Qormley will try to make a meal off some of the hardware, 1 guess," he said gloomily. "Oh dear me.

Mr. Stagg exclaimed, suddenly. "Whut's that on the mantel,: Annty Hose? That yaller letter?" "A telegram for you. Joseph Stagg," ', replied the old lady composedly. "Well!" muttered the hardware1 dealer, and Carolyn May wondered If i be were not afraid to express Just the mutton he felt at that Instant. His km was red and he got up clumsily to secure the sealed message. "Who brought It, and whenr be "Hum I" snld' the hardware man. clearing his throat and picking up his i lint, "l it read It down at the store." "Shall shall I see you again to night, Uncle Joe?" the little girl asked .. Ilf..ll.. 41V.... 1-. l ... . I , -.... ...,. iuu imiw, my iieiiiiine half-past eight." "Well, if you don't see me tonight again, you'll bo well cared for, 1 haon't a doubt," snld Uncle Joe short ly, and went out. Carolyn May went soberly back to her cluilr. She did not eat much more. Somehow there seemed to be a big lump In her throat past which she could not force the food. As the dusk fell, the spirit of loneliness gripped her and the tears pooled behind her eyelids, ready (0 pour over her cheeks at the least "Joggle." Yet she wus not usually a "cry-buby" girl. Aunty Rose was watching her more losely Hum Carolyn May supposed. After her third eup of tea she arose and liegan quietly clearing the table. The newcomer was nodding in her place, her blue eyes clouded with sleep and iiiihappiiiess. "it Is time for you to go to bed. Cnr'lyn May," said Aunty Hose firmly. "I will show you the room Iliinnnli Stagg hnd for her own when sho was girl." "Thunk you, Aunty Rose," snld the little girl humbly. She picked up the bag and followed the stately old woman Into the buck hall and up the stairway into the ell. Carolyn May saw that at the foot of the stairs was a door leading out uisin the porch where l'rlnce was now mov ing about uneasily at the end of his leash. She would have liked to say "good night" to l'rlnce, hut It seemed better not to mention this feeling to Aunty Rose. The fading hues of sunset In the sky gave Hie 111 He girl plenty of light to undress by. She thought the room very beautiful, too. "Do you Mad any help, child?" asked Mrs. Kennedy, standing In her soldierly manner In the doorway. It was dusky there and the llttlo girl could not see her face. "Oh. no. inu'am," suld Carolyn May faintly. m it n ib . . kdltl ! 11 I 1 iM : H TaLA. r" -' " - ' .hl l"1?w h n"d ""Ir hie salary on SJtr ft 1,wvon- T" nih5 "" "'" "ditarraaaaa .., correspond. iLl'.rl. r "," r"r"l",, "tlcl,., on "Tlie i,n .r 'll,W"rl'1 v7ar-storlea of the I " ,,r Buropa Which have to tie,,..',,' "u ,""nan wrt"-u fro"' B bat- J-.T, '.'"". r '"""PO'l Mr. Cameron's Im- ":",' ror your alitor to with him. i, i, i i, ,i,,. ,,H ,.. - .. onviiu wii ntaj o ex- vi.. f.V """:y runt.

"Aunty Hose, do you s'pose I might ask God to bless my mamma and papa, even If they ure lost ut sea? Somehow I don't think It would seem so lonesome if I could keep that in my prayer." CHAPTER III. iki'd finally, having read the law yer's night letter. "A hoy. This morning," said Annty Boe, utterly calm. "And I never saw It this noon." grumbled the hardware dealer. Mr. Kennedy quite Ignored any "West Ion of Impatience in Mr. Htagg's Wle or manner. But he seemed to tn.te for his supper after reading to telegram. "lure is the letter that this Mr. Price wrote and aent by you, Car-1 V V" In- n-i,- as he waa about to i fle'ian for the store.

Carolyn May stiaxl in the middle of the room and listen l to her descending footsteps. Aunty Rose had not even bidden her good night ! Like a marooned sailor upon a del eft Island the little girl went about exploring the bedroom which was to be hers and which had once been hei mother's. That fact helped greatly. .Then she looked at the high, putty bed. "How ever can 1 get Into it ?" sighei. Carolyn May. She had to stand upon her tlptoer I In her fluffy little bedroom slippers to pull back tbe quilt and the blanket and sheet underneath It. The bed wa.. Juat a great big bag of feathers I "Just like a big, big pillow,' thought the little girl. "And If I do get Into It I'm U'ble to alnk down and dowu and down till I'm hurled, and won't ever be able to get up In the morn ing." The window waa open and ahe went to It and looked out. A breath of honeysuckle blew In. Then, below, on the porch, ahe heard the uneasy move ments of l'rlnce. And he whined. "Oh. poor Prlncej I Be doesn't I know what's become of aae," thought I Carolyn May. I Downstairs, In the great kitchen, J Aunty Rose waa stepping back and ' I forth, from table to sink, from sink to ! . dresser, from dresser to pantry. As the daylight faded she lit the lamp which swung from the celling and j gave light to all the room. It would have been Impossible for I the wisest person to guess what were the thoughts in Aunty Rose's mind. A glad little yelp from the dog tied to tbe rail of the porch sounded sud denly. I'.nn Aunty Hose could not mistake that cry of welcome and she knew very little about dogs to their credit, ut least. She had heard no other suspicious sound, but now she crossed the room with firm trend and opened the porch door. Yes, a llttlo white figure wua down there hugging the whining mongrel. Carolyn May's tearful face WON raised from Prince's rough neck. "Oh, Aunty Rose! Oh, Aunty Hose!" she sobbed. "I Just had to say good night to somebody Kdna's mother nine and heard our prayers and tucked ns Into my bed after my papa and mninma went away. So It didn't aeem so bad. "But tonight why! tonight there Isn't anybody cares whether I go to bed or not I Hut l'rlnce I 1'clnee, he knows Just how how empty I feel I" "Vou would better come In now and "Well 8he'll Be a Nuisance."

And If somebody had shipped him a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Btagg would have felt little more nt u loss as to what disposal to make of the creature than he felt now regarding his little niece. "Well she'll be a nuisance; an aw ful nuisance," wns his flnul comment, with a mountainous sigh. Thus far, Aunty Rose Kennedy's at titude towards the little stranger had been the single pleasant disappoint ment Mr. Stagg bud experienced. Aunty Rose wns an autocrat. Joseph Stagg had never been so comfortable In his life as since Mrs. Kennedy had tuken up the management of his home. Rut he stood In great awe of her. He put the lawyer's letter In the safe. For once he was unable to re etMind to a written communication j promptly. Although he wore that band of crepe on his arm he could not actually reallr' the fact that his sister Hannah was dead. Any time these fifteen years he might have run down to New York to see her. First she had worked In the newspaper ofllee as a stenogra pher. Then she had married John Lewis Cameron and they had gone Im mediately to housekeeping. Cameron was a busy man; he held a "desk Job" on the puper. Vacations had been hard to get. And before long Hannah laid written about her baby "Hannah's Carlyn." After the little one's arrival there seemed less chance tlinu before for the city family to get up to Sunrise Cove. Rut at uny time he might have g to them. If Joseph Stagg bad tfhul ui liN store for u week and gmi" to New York, It would not hnve brought the world to on end. Nor was It heei, line he was stingy that he had hoi done t lil. No, he was no miser. Hut he was fairly burled In his business. And there was no "look up" In thnt dim little oftlce In the back of the hardware store. On this evening he dosed the Store later than usual and set out for The To tell the truth. Mr. Stagg rather shrank from arriving home. The strangeness of having a child in the house disturbed his tran quillity. The kitchen only wus lighted when be approached; therefore he waa re assured. He knew Hunnah's Car'lyn must have been put to bed long since. It was dark under the trees and only long familiarity with tbe walk enabled him to reach tlie back porch noiselessly. Then It was that some thing scrambled tin In the dark anil the roar of a dog'a barking made Jo- SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL TO NEUTRAL NATIONS Only 7P7 Ions of refined sugar were hipped from America to neutral na tions during the first five months of this year.

He call', her 'Hannah's Cnr'lyn.'" "Hannah HtnKk was his only sister," said Mrs. Uormley softly. "I remem ber her." "And she's .lust died, or something, and left this little 'irl." Chet contin ued. "Mr. HIiikk's bouud to think of souiethlni; now besides business. And meblie he'll need me more. And I'll Kct n chance to show him I'm worth something to him.

The kitchen door opened, revealing Aunty Itose'a ample figure. l'rlnce whined sheepishly and dropped his ab breviated tall, going to lie down again at the extreme cud of his leash and blinking hla eyes at Mr. Btagg. "The critters as savage asa beer I" grumbled the hardware merchant. "He Is a good watchdog; yon must allow that. Joseph Htagg," Aunty Hose said calmly. The hardware dealer gasped again. It would be hard to say which had startled him the most the dog or Auiiiy Hose's manner.
