frlnce whlned. Carolyn May rot nm
ana shook the crumbs from her ian.
Ihen she unclaimed the dog and
picked up her hug. Prince pranccd
ABOUT her, glnd to get his morning run.
The little glri and the dog went
OUT OF the gate and started along the
road toward Sunrise Cove.
The houses had all been nsleep M
The Corners. SO was the Parloy cot
tage when she trudged by. She would
nave liked to see Miss Amanda, TO
kiss-hcr Just once. But she must not
think of that II brought such N
"gulpy' feeling into her throat.
Nobody saw Carolyn May and Prince
until she reached Main street. Then
the sun had risen andsa few early per-
sons were astir; but nobody appeared
who knew the child or who cared any
thing about her.
NJ the railrond station nobody spoke
20 her for she bought no ticket. She
was not exactly clear In her mind
about tickets, anyway. She had found
the conductor on the train coming up
IRON New York a kind and pleasant
man and she decided to do all her
business with him.
Had she attempted to buy a ticket
OF the station agent undoubtedly he
would have made some inquiry. AS Il
was, when the train came along Caro-
lyn May, after seeing Prince put into
the baggage car, climbed aboard with
the help OF u brakeman.
"Of course, II he howls awfuIly" she
told the baggageman, who gave her a
check without question. II shall have
to go In that car and sit with him.
There were not many people In the
car. They steamed away from sun
rise Cove and Carolyn May dabbled
her eyes with her handkerchief and
told herself TO be brave.
The stations were long way apart
and the conductor did not come
through for some time. When he did
open the door and come into the chr
Carolyn May started UP with a glad
cry. II was the very conductor who
had been so kind to her on the trip up
from New York.
The railroad mon knew her ~ once
and shook hands most heartily with
her
Where are YOU going. Carolyn
May?" he asked.
AN the way with you, SIR" she re-
piled.
"1ro New York;"
"Yes, sir. Tin going home again." I
"Then I'll see you later" he said,
without asking for her ticket.
The conductor remembered the little
girl very well. although lie did not
remember all the details of her story.
lie was very kind to her and brought
her satisfying news about Prince In
the baggage car. The brakeman was
nice, too. and brought her water TO
drink In n paper cup.
At last the long stretches of streets
at right angles with the tracks an 1
streets lined With tall |
apartment houses. This could be moth |
Ing but New York city. Her papa had 1
told her long ago that there was no !
other city IKE III IN the world.
She knew One Hundred-and Twen-
ty-fifth street and Its elevated station.
That was not where she had boarded
the train going north, when Mr.. Price
had placed her IN the conductors care,
but II was nearer her old home--thut
She knew. So she told the brakeman
she wanted 10 get out there end he
arranged 10 have Prince released.
The little girl alighted and got ner
dog without mlsadventurc. She wns
down on the street level before r'le
train continued on It's journey down
town.
At the Grand Central terminal the
conductor was met with telegram
sent from Sunrise Cove by certain
frantic hardware dealer and that telc-
