aralyn TJTH CAROLYN AND PRINCE HAVE BRINGS THEM Synopsis. Her father and mother reported lost nt sen when the Dunraven, on which they had sailed for Kurope, was sunk, Carolyn May Cameron Banna's Car'lyn Is sent from New York to her bach elor uncle, Joseph Stngg, nt the Corners. The reception Riven her by her uncle 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 guardlau. Carolyn learns of the estrangement between hur uncle and his one-tlmo sweetheart, Amanda Parlow, and the cause of the bitterness between the two families. Prince, the mongrel dog that Carolyn brought with her, and the boon companion of the lonesome girl, Is In disfavor with Uncle Joe, who threntens to dispose of him, but Princo becomes a hero and wins the approval of the Corners by routing n tramp In the act of robbing the schoolteacher. The following Sunday, while Cnrolyn nud her uncle, accompanied by Prince, are taking a walk In the woods they encounter Amanda Parlow. Prince kills i snuko about to strlko Amanda, and Stagg and Atnandn speak to each other for tho first time In years. Carolyn Is dismayed when she learns from Chet Gormley, her uncle's clerk, that she was left practically penulless and Is a "charity" orphan. CHAPTER VIII Continued. 10 "So, you see," added the child, "I am charity. I'm not like other girls that's got papas and mammas. 'Course I knowed that before, but It didn't seem seem so hard as It does now," she confessed with a sob. "My dear! my dear!" cried Miss Amanda, dropping on her knees beside the little girl, "don't talk sol I know your uncle must love you." "Oh, Miss Mundy!" gasped Carolyn May, "don't you s'pose he loves other folks, too? You know folks he'd be gun to love ever so long ago?" The woman's smooth cheeks burned suddenly and she stood up. "I'm 'most sure he'd never stop lov ing a person If he'd once begun to love 'em," said Carolyn May, with n high opinion of the faithfulness of Uncle Joe's character. "0o you want to know If your Uncle Joe loves you?" she asked Carolyn May nt last. "Do you?" "Oh, I do I" cried the little girl. "Then ask him," advised Miss Amanda. "That's the only way to do with Joe Stagg, If you want to get nt the truth. Out with It, square, and ask him." "I will do It." Carolyn Mny said se riously. After the child had gone the woman went back Into the little cottage and her countenance did not wear the fare well smile that Carolyn May had looked back to see. Gripping at her heart was the old pain she had suffered years before and the conflict that bad seared her mind so long ago was roused again. "Oh, Joe! Oh, Joe! IIow could you?" she moaned, rocking herself to and fro. "How could you?" That very night the first snow flurry of the season drove against the west window panes of the big kitchen nt the Stagg homestead. It wus at supper time. "I declare for't," said Mr. Stagg, "I guess winter's onto us, Aunty Itose." i This snow did not amount to much ; it was little more than a hoar frost, us Mr. Stagg said. This might be, how ever, the last chance for a Sunday walk in the woods for some time nud Carolyn May did not propose to miss it. On this day she earnestly desired to get him off by himself, for her heart was filled with a great purpose. She felt that they must come to au understanding. On this particular occasion Uncle Joe snt down upon tho log by the brook where Miss Amanda had once sat. Carolyn Muy stood before him. "Am I Just a churlty orphan? Didn't my pupa leave uny money n-taii for me? Did you tuko me Just out of charity?" "Bless me!" gasped the hardware dealer. "I I wish you'd answer mo, Uncle Joe," went on Carolyn Mi.y with a bravo effort to keep from crying. Joseph Stugg wus too blunt n per son to eo his wuy to dodging tho question. "Hum! Well, I'll tell you, Cnr'lyn Mny. Thoro isn't much left, and that's n fact. It Isn't your father's fault, Ho thought tlx-'ro was plenty. But a busl lies ho Invested In got Into bud hands und Iho llttlo nest egg lio'd laid up for JiIm family w ll." "TJieiillicn I hid Just charily.

The tnnn stared at her for a moment In silence, but the Hush that dyed his cheeks was a tlush of shame. "Don't you like It tiny more here with Aunty Hose and and me?" he demanded. "Oh, yes I Only only. Uncle Joe, I don't want to stay, If wo're a nuisance, Prince and me. I don't want to stay, If you don't love me." Joseph Stagg had become quite ex cited. "Bless me!" he finally cried onco more. "Uow do you know I don't love you, Carolyn May?" "Why why But, Uncle Joe 1 how do I know you do lovu me?" demanded tho little girl. "You never to.ld mo so !" The startled man sank upon the log again. "Well, mnybe that's so," he mur mured. "I s'pose It Isn't my way to be very very softlike. But listen here, Car'lyn Mny." "Yes. sir." "I ain't likely to tell you very fre quently how much I I think of you. Ahem ! But you'd better stop worrying about such things as money and tho like. What I've got comes pretty near belonging to you. Anyway, unless I have to .go to the poorhousu myself, I reckon you needn't worry about going," and he coughed again dryly. "As fur as loving you Well, I'll admit, under cross-examination, that I love you." "Deur Uncle Joel" she sighed ecs tatically. "I don't mind If 1 am charity. If you love me, It takes all the sting out. And I'll help to make you happy, too !" CHAPTER IX. A Find In the Drifts. Before the week was over, winter had come to Sunrise Cove and Tho Corners In enrnetil. Know foil nnil drIftedi unt, there wni) 8CMrcoIy nny. imng to ne seen ono morning wnen Carolyn Muy awoko und looked out of her bedroom windows but a white, fleecy mantle. This wus more snow thun the llttlo girl had ever seen In New York. Sho enmo down to breakfast very much ex cited. Uncle Joe hnd shoveled off tho porch and steps, aud Princo had beaten his own doorynrd In tho snow In front of his house. For he had n houso of his own, now n -roomy, warm ono built by Mr. Parlow. It must bo confessed that, although Uncle Joo paid for the building of his doghouse, It never would hnvo been built by Jedldiah Parlow had It not been for Carolyn Muy. At noon Uncle Joe caino home, drag ging n sled a big roomy ono, glisten ing with red paint. Just tlio nicest sled Carolyn May had over seen, and one of tho best tho hardware dealer curried In stock. "Oh, my, that's lovely I" breathed tho llttlo girl In uwud delight, "That's over so much better than any sled I ever had before. And I'rluco could draw ino on It, If I only had a harness for him. Ho used lo drag mo In tlio purk, Of course, If lie saw a eat, I had to got off mid hold lilm," Mr. Hhigg, onco hturted upon tlio path of good deeds, seemed to like It, At nlijht ho brought homo certain straps mid rlvelw, ami In thu ItHulien, much (o Aunty (tone's miuzujuuni, ho fitted Princo to a harness which the next day Cnrolyn May used on tho dog. and Prince drew her very nicely along thu beaten path. By Saturday the loads were Id splen did condition for sleighing. So Carolyn May went sledding. Out of sight of the houses grouped at Tho Corners tho road to town seemed as lonely as though It were u veritable wilderness. Hero mid thoro tho drifts had piled six feet deep, fur tho wind had a free sweep across tho barrens. "Now, there's somebody coming," said Carolyn May, seeing a moving ob ject nhend between tho clouds of drift ing snow spray. "Is It a sleigh, Prlncey, or Just n tnnn?" Sho lost sight of tho object, then sighted It again. "It must be a man. It can't be n bear, Prlncey." Tho strange object had disappeared again. It was Just at the place where the spring spouted out of the rocky hillside and trickled across tho road. There was n sort of natural watering trough hero In tho rock where the horses stopped to drink. The dog drew tho llttlo girl closer to tho spot. "Whcro has that man gone to? If It wns n man." Princo stopped suddenly and whined and then looked around nt his mistress, ns though to say : "See there l" Cnrolyn Mny tumbled off tho sled In n hurry. When she did so sho slipped on n patch of snow-covered Ico and fell. But she was not hurt. "There I that's where 4b o wAter runs across the road. It's all slippery Oh 1" It was the sleeve of a man's rough coat thrust out of the snowbank that brought this last cry to the child's Hps. "Oh, oht It's n muni" burst from Cnrolyn Mny's trembling lips. "How cold ho must be!" She plumped down on her knees and begun brushing the snow away. She uncovered his shoulder. Sho took hold of this with her laltteued hands and tried to shake the prone llgpre. "Oh, do wake up I Please wake upl" sho cried, digging away the snow as fast ns possible. A shaggy head was revealed, with on old cap pulled down tightly over the ears. The man moved ngnln and grunt ed something, lie half turned over, and there was blood upon tho snow, I I say' if You Love Me It Takes All the Stlna Out" and a great frosted cako of It on the side of his face. Carolyn May was dreadfully fright ened. Thu mails' head wns cut nnd thu blood was sincurcd over tho front of his Jacket. Now sho could seo a pud dlo of It, right whcro ho had fallen on tho let Just as sho had fallen herself. Only, he had struck his head on n rick and cut himself. "You poor thing I" murmured Caro lyn May. "Oh, you mustn't llu hero I You must get upl You'll you'll bo frozen I" "ISosy, mute" muttered tho maa, "I ain't Jest right In my top-hamper, I reckon. Hold hard, matey." Hu tiled to get up. Ho rosu to his knees, but pitched forward again. Cnrolyn May was not afraid of lilir now only troubled. "I'll tako you to .Miss Ainnnda's,' cried thu llttlo girl, pulling nt his con' again. ".She's a nurse, and who'll know Just what to do for you. Came, Prince and I will tako you." Then shu guided thu lialf-blliideil man to thu sled, on which hu managed lo drop himself.

Miss Amanda brought warm water and bathed tho wound, removing the congealed blood from his face and neck. When the last bandage was adjusted and thu injured man's eyes were closed Mr. Parlow offered him a wine-glass of a homHiiadu cordial. Tho sailor gulped It down, and thu color began t return to his cheeks. "Where was you gon anyway?" do manded tho carpenter. "Looklu' for a Job, mute," said th sailor.
