Iler father and mother reported lost nt sen when the Dunrnven. on which they had sailed for Kurope, was sunk. Carolyn May Cameron Uannn's Car'lyn Is sent from Nuw York to her bneh elor uncle, Joseph Stagg, nt the Coiners. Tlio reception given her by her uncle Is not very enthusiastic. Carolyn Is nlso chilled by tho stern demeanor of Aunty Hose. Uncle Joo's housekeeper. Stags Is dismayed when he learns from n lawyer friend of his brother-in-law that Cnrolyn has been left practically penniless and consigned to his enru as guardlnu. Ctirolyn learns of tho estrangement between her undo mid his ono-ttmo sweetheart, Amanda Parlow, nnd the cause of tho bitterness between the two families. Prince, tho mongrel dog Hint Carolyn brought with her, and tho boon companion of tho loneeomo girl. Is In disfavor with Uncle Joe, who threatens to dispose of him, but l'rlnco becomes a hero and wins the approval of tho Corners by routing a tramp In tho net of robbing the schoolteacher. CHAPTER VII. A Sunday Walk. Iteally If Prlnco had been a vain dog his ego would certainly have be come unduly developed because of this Incident. Tho Corners, as a commu nity, voted him nn ncqulsltlon, whereas heretofore he hnd been looked upon as a good deal of a nuisance. After she recovered from her fright Miss Minnie wnlked homo with Caro lyn May and allowed Prince's delight ed little mistress to encourage tho "hero" to ;'shnko hands with teacher." "Now, you seo, he's acquainted with you. Miss Minnie," said Carolyn Mny. "He's nn awful nlco dog.. You didn't .know Just how nice he "was before." Almost everybody went to church nnd nil the children to Sunday school, which was held first. , The Itev. Afton Drlggs, though serl-ous-mlnded. was a loving mnn. He was fond of children nnd he nnd his hlldJess wife gave much of their at tention to the Sunday school. Mrs. ;Driggs taught Carolyn May's class of little girls. Mrs. Drlggs did her very best, too, to get the children to stny to the preaching service, but Cnrolyn Iny hnd to confess that the pastor's discourses were usually hard to under stand. "And he Is always rending nbout the 'Begats.' " sho complained gently to Uncle Joe as they went homo together on this particular Sunday, "nnd I can't keep Interested when ho does thnt. I s'posc tho 'Begats' were very nlco people, but I'm sure they weren't related to us they've all got such funny rjamcs." "Ilum!" ejaculated Uncle Joe. smothering a desire to laugh. "Flow gently, sweet Aftnn. does select his passages of Scripture mostly from tho vnlleys of dry bones,' I allow. You've got It' about right there. Carolyn May." "Uncle Joe," said the little girl, tnk Ing her courage In both hands, "will you do something for mo?" Then, ns ho stared down nt her from under his bushy brows, she added: "I don't mean thnt you nrcn't nlwnys doing some thing for me letting mo sleep hero nt your house nnd ent with you nnd nil thnt But something speclnl." "Whnt 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 homo It's too dark." "Too dark for what?" "For us to take a walk," said tho little girl very earnestly. "Oh, Uncle Joe, you don't know how dreadful I miss taking Sunday walks with my papal Of course wo took 'cm In tho morning, for he had to go to work on tho paper In the afternoon, but wo did Just nbout go everywhere. If you would go with me," the llttlo girl added- wistfully, "Just this nfternoon, seems to me I wouldn't feel so so empty." "Humph ! ' snld Undo Joe, clearing lils throat. "If it's going to do you any particular good, Car'lyn May, I suppose I can take n walk with you." It was a crisp day ono of those au tumn days when the tang of frost re mains In the nlr, In spite of nil tho efforts of tho sun to warm It Here and there they stopped to pick up tho glossy brown chestnuts thnt hnd burst from their burrs. That Is, Cnrolyn May and her undo did. l'rlnco, nftor n slnglo attempt to noso ono of tho prickly burrs, left them strictly alone. "You might Just as well try to cat Aunty Hose's strawberry nocdlo cush ion, Prlnroy," tho : llttlo girl said w:fSly. 'JYoti'll havo n, sorer noso thun Alljoj Iforllett had whon lio tried lo Wo H down wiiU n wood nisp." "MUHli" cjuculntod Mr. Hlngg, "whniWST vanmnnM Hint Hiirtlult Mid to dp gucli u fool trick?" I "Why, you know his noso Is awfully uig, sum .nroiyn amy. "Ann Ms mother Is always worried about It. Sho must have worried Amos, too, for ono day last week ho went over to Mr. Parlow's shop, borrowed a wood rasp and tried to fllo his noso down to a proper slso. And now ho hns to go with his noso all greased and shiny till the new skin grows bnck on It." "Bless me, whnt these k!ds will dol" muttered Mr. Stagg. It was Just at that moment that tho little girl and the mnn. becomlug really good comrades on this wulk. met with an adventure. At least to Carolyn May It was a real adventure nnd ono she was not to forget for a long, long time. Prlnco suddenly bounded nway, barking, down n pleasant glndo, through tho bottom of which flowed n brook. Cnrolyn Mny caught a gllmpso of something brown moving down there nnd she cnlled shrilly to tho dog to como bnck. "But Hint's somebody. Undo Joe," Cnrolyn Mny snld with nssurnnce, ns tho dog slowly returned. "Prlnco nover barks like that unles It's n per son. And I saw something move." "Somebody taking a walk, like Us. Couldn't ho n deer," said Mr. Stagg. "Oh," cried Carolyn May later, "I seo It again. That's a skirt 1 sec. Why. It's a lady 1" Mr. Stagg suddenly grew very stern looking, as well as silent. All the beauty of the day and of tho glndo they had entered seemed lost on htm. He went on stubbornly, yet as though loath to proceed. "Why," murmured Carolyn May. "It's Miss Amanda Parlow I That's who It Is I" ' The carpenter's daughter was sit ting on a bare brown log by the brook. She wns dressed very prettily, nil In brown. Cnrolyn Mny wanted r.wfnlly to speak to Miss Amnnda. The brown lady with the pretty roses In her cheeks sat on a log by the brook, her face turned from tho path Joseph Stagg and his little niece wero coming nlong. And Uncle Joe wns quite stubborn. Ho stared straight ahead down tho path without letting thcMlguro on tho log get Into the focus of his vision. Hanging to Uncle Joe's hand but looking longingly at the silent flguro on the log, Curolyn Mny wns going down to the stepping stones by which they were to cross tho brook, when suddenly Prlnco came to a halt right at the upper end of the log nnd his body stiffened. "What Is It, Prince?" whispered his llttlo mistress. "Como here." But tho dog did not move. Ho even growled not nt Miss Amanda, of course, but at something on tho log. And It was Just then that Carolyn May wanted to scream and sho could not I For there on tho log, raising Its flat, wicked head out of an aperture, was a snake, a horrid, silent, writhing creature, tho look of which held the llttlo girl horror-stricken rnd speech less. Uncle Joe glanced down Impatiently, to seo what mado her hold back so, Tho chlM's feet seemed glued to tho earth. Sho could uot take another step. Writhing out of tho holo In tho log nnd colling, ns It did so, Into nn nttl tudo to strike, tho snnko looked to bo dangerous Indeed. Tho fact that It was only a largo blncksnnko and non poisonous mado no dlfferenco at that moment to tho dog or to tlio little girl nor to Joserh Btnt'i; when ho saw It.

Joseph Stagg dropped Carolyn Mny's hand nnd Ion pod forward with his walking stick raised to strike Hut tho mongrel dog was there first. Ho wisely cnnglit tho blncksnnko behind tho hend, his strong, sharp teeth sev ering Its vertebrae. "Good dog I" shout oil Mr. Stagg ex citedly. "Kino dog I" "Oh. Miss Amnndal" shrieked Caro lyn May. "I 1 thought he was going to sting you I did I" Sho ran to the startled womnn and clung to her hand. l'rlnco nosed tho dead snake. Mr. Stagg looked exceed ingly foolish. Miss Amanda recovered her color nnd her voice simultaneously. "What a hrno dog yours Is, llttlo girl," sho said to Carolyn Mny. "And 1 do so despise snakes 1" Thcu sho looked directly nt Mr. Stagg nnd bowed gravely. "1 thank you." sho said, but so coldly, so Carolyn Mny thought, that her volCo might havo como "Just olT an Iceberg." "Oh. I didn't do anything really I didn't," stammered tho man. "It was tho dog." noth looked very uncomfortable Joseph Stagg begnn to pick up tho scattered chestnuts from tho over turned basket. The lady stooped and whispered to Carolyn May: "Como to seo me. my dear. I wnnt to know you better."

Cnrolyn May was thinking about Miss Amanda Parlow and sho believed her Undo Joo was, too. "Uncle Joe," sho said, "would that bad old snnko havo stung Miss Amanda?" "Huh? No; I reckon not," ndmltted Mr. Stagg nbscnt-mlndedly. "Black snakes don't bite. A big one like that can squcezo some." "But you wero scared of It llko mo and Prince. And for Miss Amanda," said Carolyn May very much In ear nest. "I guess 'most everybody Is srnrcd by tho sight of n snake, Car'lyn Mny." "But you wero senred for Miss Amanda's snko Just tho samo as 1 was," repeated tho llttlo girl decidedly. "Well?" ho growled, looking away, troubled by her Insistence. "Then you don't hate her, do you?" tho child pursued. "I'm glad or that, Undo Joe, for I llko her very much. I think slto's a beautiful lady," To this Undo Joe said nothing, "I guess," thought Carolyn May wisely, "Hint when two folks love ench other nnd get angry the lovo's ihero Just tho samo. Gutting mad doesn't kill It; It only makes 'em feel worse. "Poor Undo Joo I Poor Miss Amnn dal Maybo If they'd Just try to look up and look for brighter things they'd get over being mad nnd bo happy again." When Undo Joo nnd Cnrolyn May returned from litis adventurous walk Mr, Stagg went heavily Into Ids own room, closed tho door nnd oven locked II, Ho went over to Hir)ld'fadilonod walnut bureau Hint Mood against I In wall Initweeii Hin two window and stood before It for somo moments In nn nttltudo of deep reflection. Finally, ho drew his bunch of keys from his pocket nnd opened 'ono of tho two small drawers In tho henvy ploco of furniture tlio only locked drawer there wns. Ho drew forth n tintype picture, faded now, btit clear enough to show him tho fenturoi of tho two Individuals printed on tho scusltlxed pinto. Ills own eyes looked out of the pho tograph proudly. They wero much younger eyes than they wero now. And tho girl beside him In the pic ture! Sweet ns a wild rose, Mandy Pnrlow's lovely, calm countenance promised nil tho beauty and dignity her matured womanhood had achieved. "Mnudyl Mandy 1" lie murmured over and over again. "Oh, Mnudyl Why? Why?" Ho held tho tintype for n long, long tlmo In his hand, gnxlng on It with eyes that saw tho vanished years rather than tho portraits themselves. Finally lie hid the picture nwny again, closed nnd locked tho drawer with n sigh nnd with slow steps left tho room.

TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AT NIGHT Handicap of Fog and Darkness Have Been Overeomo by Development of New Process. Neither fog nor darkness handicap tho supereyes of the war department signal corps' cameras, according to Kdwnrd Hungerford. who describes tho remnrkahlo progress of wartime aerial photography In Kverybody's. no gives somu Interesting examples: "I havo seen n photograph of a wan ing moon over Home taken by the new process. It Is tho tlrst real pic ture of tho moon that I havo ever seen, although I formerly attempted tho thing myself. Most of the moonlight pictures that ono sees nro 'fakes,' made by photographing tho sun In various unusual and artistic phases. But this was real. One could see the tiny pools of water standing In tho uneven places of tho flagging, the flickering street lamps nt the corner. A plcturo whoso reality utmost makes It uncanny. And tho photographer who took tho plcturo In tho rain was ar rested by a gendarme ns being mental ly unsound. He Was only released when ho took a picture of tho lieuten ant at the police station and proved beyond n question thnt ho could umko good portraits by artificial light. "I havo seen photographs mndo by this now process from tho front row of n theater balcony during tho progress of tho play; others mado In church ilnrlitf- t-nimnr t till tlliiinlrinri nntlrnlv i -"I -r ' by tho candles upon tho high altar. Tlio process Is very now and It Is very wonderful. Moreover, It Is susceptible of adaptation to night observation, ; both from airplanes and upon the , land." Aerial Tank. An aerial tank has been Invented ami put Into practical uso by Italian soldiers who have astounded the world by their extraordinary feats In moun tain wnrfare. An Austrian machine gun emplacement wns so sltunted on n mnuntnlu sldo thnt It poured n liar nsslng lire Into nn Italian post. The Austrian position wns unassailable by ordinary means, but It wns necessnry that It bo wiped out. A "Teleferlca" car, many of which aro operated by tho Italians ncross chasms and up mountain sides, was armored and equipped with machine guns. Volun teers were called for, and from the many who responded two wero chosen to man tho guns. This Improvised aerial dreadnnught was then swung out across tho vnlley, After ono or two exploration trips nt n dizzy height, tho men lir tho car finally located tho Austrian post nnd quickly put It out of action. Shipbuilding In a Dry Dock. It hns been proposed Hint concreto ships bo built In n floating dry dock, tho principal advantage being that tho forms could be retained tn Hie dock so they could bo used Immediately after launching, for another ship. Tho jnunchlng would bo effected by with drawing tho outer forms slightly and sinking tho dry dock until tho ship floated on Its own bottom, This would avoid sovcro luunehlng strains, and would permit of launching tho boat whllo tho concreto was still "green."
