It was the sleeve of a mans rough

She pumped down on her knees and

uncovered his shoulder. She took hold
of this with aer mittened hands and
tried to shake the prone figure.
"Oh. do wake upi Please wake uply
she cried, digging away the snow as
fast as possible.
A shaggy head was revealed, with an
old cap pulled down tightly over the
ears. The man moved again and grunt-

and there was blood upon the snow,
and great frosted cake Of 1t on the
side of his face.

CHAPTER TX.
A Find in the Drifts.

Before the week was over, winter
had come to Sunrise Cove and The
Corners in earnest. Snow fell and
drifted, until there was scarcely any
thing to be seen one morning when
Carolyn May awoke and looked out of
her bedroom windows but white.
fleecy mantle.
This was more snow than the little
girl had ever seen in New York. She
came down to breakfast very much ex-
cited.
Uncle Joe had shoveled Off the porch
and steps, and Prince had beaten his
own dooryard In the snow In front Of
his house. For he had house of his
own, nova roomy, warm one-built
by Mr.. Parlow.
1t must be confessed that, although
Uncle Joe paid for the building of his
doghouse, II never would have been
built by Jedidiah Parlow had 1t not
been for Carolyn May.
At noon Uncle Joe came home, drag
ging a sled-a big roomy one, glisten-
ing with red paint. Just the incest
sled Carolyn May had ever seen, and
one Of the best the hardware dealer
carried In stock.
"Oh, my, that's lovely!" breathed
the little girl in awed delight. THAT'S
ever so much better than any sled
ever had before. And Prince could
draw me on it, If only had a harness
for him. He used to drag me in the
park. OF course, If he saw a cat, had
to get Off and hold him."
Mr.. Stagg, once started upon the
path of good deeds, seemed to like It.
At night he brought home. certain
straps and rivets, and in the kitchen,
much to Aunty Roses amazement, he
next day Carolyn May used on the dog,
and Prince drew her very nicely along
the beaten paths.
BY Saturday the roads were in splen-
did condition for sleighing.
So Carolyn May went shedding.
Out of sight of the houses grouped
at The Corners the road to town
seemed as lonely as though 1t were a
veritable wilderness. Here and there
