CHAPTER v-continued.


The mole in question lived under a
piece of rock wall near the garden
fence.
When Uncle Joe came home to din
ner on one particular Saturday he
walked down to the corner of the gar
den fence, and there saw the havoc
Prince had wrought. In following the
line of the mole's last tunnel he had
worked his way under the picket fence
and had torn up two currant bushes
and done some damage 81 the straw
berry patch.
"And the worst of 1t is" grumbled
the hardware dealer, ''he never caught
the mole. That mongIel really isn't
worth bag of dornicks to sink him In

to get this very evening when come

everything that was said to him, there

lived with her father and mother in

And then, in two weeks, came the
fatal news of the sinking Of the Dun
raven and the loss of all but a small
part of her crew and passengers.
Vaguely these facts had become
known to Carolyn May. She never
spoke of them. They did not seem real
TO the little girl.
But now, sitting beside the con
demned Prince--her companion and
only real comforter during these
weeks of her orphanhood-the little
girl felt bitterly her loneliness and
grief.
If Uncle Joe did as he had threat.

seemed TO be no place for her and
Prince to run away to.

''You should not say such things, es-
