"Is It? Well, no, thoy didn't toll me
tluu." admitted the visitor, "or I'd not
started so Into. You see, 1 como up on
a schooner. This here Inko bontlw'
ain't In my line. I'm deep-water, 1
Mil."
"So I should s'pose," said Mr. Pnr
low. "How'd you git up hero, nuy
way?" "The war," said the visitor. "The
war done It. Couldn't git n good berth
In any deep-water bottom. So I thought
I'd try fresh-wnter sallln'. I tell you,
matey. I been workln' ns quartermas
ter's mate on the old Cross and Cres
cent lino, n-scootln' 'cross to Nnples
from N'York there nud back goln'
on ten year."
"What did you lenve your boat for?"
asked the carpenter curiously.
"She was sunk. There's things hap
renin over to the other sldo of the
ocean, mate," said the Injured man
earnestly, "that you wouldn't believe
no, sir! The Cross and Crescent
line's give up business till after the
war's over, I reckou."
"You'd better not encourage him to
talk any more, father," Interposed Miss
Amanda, coming Into the room again.
"The best thing he can do for himself
Is to sleep for a while."
"Thank ye, ma'am," said the sailor
humbly. "I'll try."
Darkness came on apace. The sky
had become overcast, and there was
promise of a stormy night more
snow, perhnps. Hut Miss Amanda
would not allow Carolyn May and
Prince to start for home at once.
"Watch for your uncle, Carolyn May,
out of the front-room window, nnd be
all ready to go with him wheu he
comes along," said Miss Parlow.
When Uncle Joe came along, Carolyn
May ran out aud hailed him from the
porch.
"Walt for me, Dncle Joe! Walt for
me and Prlncey, please! Just let me
get my mittens and Prince's harness
and kiss Miss Mandy."
That last she did most soundly, nnd
In full view of the man waiting In the
white road.
"Oh, Uncle Joe, I've got Just the won
derfulest story to tell you I Shall wc
harness Prince up again, or will you "

CHAPTER X.
A 8alt-Sea Flavor.
Swiftly Joseph Stngg trudged to
ward home, dragging Carolyn May be
hind him.
"Oh, dear me!" exclaimed the llttlo
girl with exultation, "we're all bo ex
cited, Uncle Joe!"
"I can sco you're all of n-twlttcr,"
he returned uhscnt-mlndedly. "What's
the matter?"
"Oh, you never could guess I" was
Carolyn May's Introduction, nnd forth
with, In breathless sentences, went on
to (ell of her discovery In tlio snow
and about tho old sailor now lying
nsleeji on (lie Parlow couch,
p course, wion Carolyn May nr
rlvojl at home, tho story hud to bo told
nil oyer jignln lo Aunty Hoho Kennedy.
"A mighty plucky youngster, this
Car'lyn May of ours," Uncle Joo re
marked. "What do you say, Aunty
Hose?"
"She Is, Indeed, Joseph Stngg,"
agreed the woman.
Carolyn May Insisted on going to tho
Parlow house herself after school the
next afternoon to Inquire about her
"sailor man."
When she had been kissed by Miss
Amanda, and Prince hnd lain down by
the kitchen range, the little girl de
manded :
'And do tell me how my sailor man
Is, Miss Mandy. He got such n bump
on his head!"
"Yes; the man's wound Is really seri
ous. I'm keeping him In bed. Hut you
can go up to see hint. He's talked n
lot about you, Carolyn May."
The sailor lay In the warm bedroom
over the kitchen.
Carolyn May prattled on gayly and
soon had her "sailor man" telling nil
about the sen aud ships, and "they
that go down therein."
"For, you see," explained Carolyn
May, "I'm dreadful cur'ous nbout tho
sea. My pupa aud mamma were lost
at sea."
"You don't say so, little miss I" ex
claimed the old fellow. "Aye, aye,
that's too bad."
Miss Amaiuln had disappeared, busy
about some household matter, and tho
little girl and the sailor were alone to
gether. "Yes." Carolyn May proceeded, "It Is
dreadful hard to feel that it Is so."
"Keel that what's so, little miss?"
asked the man In bed.
"That my papa nnd mnmmn are real
ly drownd-ed," said the little girl with
quivering Hps. "Some of the folks on
their boat were saved. The papers
said so."
"Aye, aye!" exclaimed the sailor, his
brows puckered Into n frown. "Aye,
aye, mutey! that's alius the way. Why,
I wns snved myself from a wreck. I
was In the first officer's boat, and we In
that boat wns saved. There was an
other boat the purser's, It was was
drlftin' nbout nil night with us. We
come one time near smashln' Into each
other and wreckln' both boats. There
was n heavy swell on.
"Yet," pursued the sailor, "come day
light, nnd the fog spllttln', wo never
could find the purser's boat. She hnd
Jest ns good n chnnce as us after tho
steamship sunk. Hut there It was I We
got separated from her, nnd wc wns
saved, whilst tho purser's boat wasn't
never heard on ugnln."
"That was dreadful !" sighed the lit
tle girl.
"Yes, little miss. And the poor pas
sengers! Purser had twenty or more
In his boat. Women mostly. Hut thcro
wus n sick man, too. Why, I helped
lower his wife and him Into the boat
'foro I was called to go with tho first
officer In his boat. We was the lust to
cast oft. The purser hud Jest as good
a chance ns we did.
"I guess I won't never forglt that
time, little miss," went on the senmnn,
I seeing the blue eyes llxed on his face,
rounu witn interest. "oi Ann rve
seen some tough times, too.
"The ship wns riddled. She had to
sink and It was night.
"There wns n sick man I told you
about, little miss. He was n wonder,
thut feller! Cheerful brave Don't
often see n feller like him. Jokln' to
the last, lie wns. He didn't want to go
In the purser's boat, If there was more
women or children to go.
"We told him all the women folk hnd
left the ship. So, then, he let me lower
him down into the purser's bout nftcr
his wife. And that boat had as good a
clianco ns wo had, I tell you," repeated
the seaman In quite an excited manner.
"Oh, denr me!" exelnlmed Curolyn
May. "My pupa nnd mnmmn might
have been Just like that," she added.
"Of course, we don't know whether
they got off the steamship nt nil."
"Aye, nyel" the snllor said. "Pretty
tough on you, little miss."
Miss Amanda hnd come back Into
tho room, and she stood listening to
the old man's talk. She said:
"Curolyn May, I think you had better
go downstairs now. Wo mustn't let
our patient talk too much. It won't bo
good for him,"
So Carolyn May shook hands with
tho old sailor nnd started downstairs
ahead of Miss Amundn, Tho hitter
lingered a moment to ask n question,
"What was the name of tho steam
ship you wero wrecked on?" sho asked,
Tho ono you wero Just telling nbout,"
"Hho wus tho Dunrflveii tho Dun
rnven, of tho Cross mid Crescent lino,"
replied the mariner, "Didn't I tell you
tliut before,-mu'um'i"
CHAPTER XI.
Will Wonders Never Cease?
Again It snowed nil night.
It was on the next day, nnd nt noon
time, when Mr. Stagg was returning to
thu store, that a most astounding thing
happened.
Mr. Stngg was walking briskly to
ward Sunrise Cove In his big felt snow
boots, such ns nil men wore In that lo
cality, nnd was abreast of the Parlow
shop nnd cottage which he nlwnys
bought to avoid looking at when ho
heard n door open aud close.
He tried not to look that wny. Hut
his ear told him Instantly that tho per
son who had come out was Miss Aman
da, rather than her father. Knowing
this, how could he help darting a
glance nt her?
Miss Amnnda stood on tho porch,
looking directly nt him.
"Mr. Stagg." she called earnestly. "I
must spenk to you."
Save on the Sunday when Prince had
killed tho blaeksmike, Miss Amanda
"We Nigh Dumped Into Each Other
After the Dunraven Sunk."
hnd not spoken directly to tho hard
ware merchant In all these hungry
years. It rather shocked Jbseph Stagg
now thnt she should do so.
"Will you come In?" she urged him,
her voice rather tremulous.
There wns n moment of absolute .si
lence. "Rless me! Yesl" ejaculated the
hardware man finally.
"I nssuro you, Mr. Stagg." Mlgs
Amanda said hurriedly, "It Is no per
sonal matter that causes me to stop
you In this fashion."
"No, ma'nm?" responded the mnn
stltlly.
"I want you to come In and speak
with this sailor who was hurt," she
finally said. "There Is something ho
can tell you, Mr. Stagg, that I think
you should know."
The big rocklng-chnir by the window,
In which Miss Amanda's mother hnd
for several years before her death
spent her wnklng hours, was now oc
cupied by the sailor.
"This Is tho llttlo girl's uncle. Hen
Jamlu," Miss Amanda said quietly. "Ho
will he Interested In what you have al
ready told me about tho loss of tho
Dunraven. Will you pleuso repeat It
all?"
"The Dunraven ?" gasped Mr. Stagg,
sitting down without being asked.
"Hannah"
"There is no hope, of course," Aman
da Parlow spoko up quickly, "that your
sister, Mr. Stngg, nnd her hushnnd
were not lost. Hut bnvlng found out
that HenJnmln wus on the stenmer
with them, I thought you should know.
I have warned him to be careful how
he speaks heforo Carolyn Mny. You

"Thnttk you." choked Joseph Stngg.
Hu wanted to say more, hut could not.
HenJnmln Hardy's watery eyes
blinked, nud lie blew his nose.
"Aye, nye, inntol" ho rumbled, "hnrd
lines for n fnct. I glvo my testl

lauded mo did nil that was left of us
from tho Dunraven. Mo belli' nn un

nor heard no more."
"And wero Hannah wero my sister
nnd her husband In that boat?" queried
Mr. Stngg thoughtfully.
"I nm sure, by the details Henjamln
tins given me," said Miss Amanda soft
ly, "that your sister and Mr. Cameron
wero two of Its passengers."
"Well, It's a long time ago, now,"
said tho hurdwaro dealer. "Surely, If
they had been picked up or had reached
the coast of Africa, we would have
heart! ubout It."
"It would seem so," the woman
agreed gently.
"You never know what may happen
nt sen, mister, till It happens," Henja
mln Hardy declared. "What becamu of
that bout"
He seemed to stick to that tden. Hut
tho possibility of the small bout's hav
ing escaped seemed utterly preposter
ous to Mr. Stagg. He uro.su to deport.
Miss Amundn followed tho hardware
denier to the outer door.
"I'm sorry," sho raid simply.
"Thank thank you," murmured Jo
scph Stagg before she closed the door.
Ho went on to town, his mind
strangely disturbed. It was not his
sister's fate that tilled his heart nnd
brain, hut thoughts of Miss Amanda.
Shu had deliberately broken the
sllenco of years! Of course, It might
be attributed to her Interest In Carolyn
May only, yet the hardware dealer
wondered.
