"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

house, Princo and me; but they mayn't
like dogs there. You're real nice to
me. Uncle Joe; but Prince and me
we really are a nuisance to you."
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,

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

"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.
Prince pulled, and Carolyn May pull
ed, and together (hey got thu sled, with
the old sailor upon It, to thu Parlow

Mr, I'nrlow slid back thu front door
of his shop to htaro In wonder at tho

Sho ran out and helped her father raise
the Injured man from tho sled. To

He was not nt all a bud-looking man
although his clothing was rough mid

Miss Amanda brought warm water
and bathed tho wound, removing the
congealed blood from his face and

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

"Where was you gon anyway?" do

"Looklu' for a Job, mute," said th
