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 huvoc
Prince had wrought. In following tho
line of the mole's last tunnel he had
worked his way under the picket fence
and had torn up two currnnt bushes
and done some damage In the straw
berry patch.
"And the worst OF It is," grumbled
the hardware dealer, "he never caught
the mole. That mongrel really isn't

to get this very evening when come

Fortunately, he could not understand
everything thnt was snld to him, there
fore the pronouncement of this terri
bic sentence did not agltate him an
atom.
Carolyn May sat for n long time un-
der the tree beside the sleeping dog
and thought how different this life Mt
The Corners was from that she had
lived with her father and mother In
the city home.
IF only that big ship, the Dunraven,
had not sailed away with her papa
and her mamma
Carolyn May had been very brave on
that occasion. She had gone ashore
with Mrs. Price and Edna after her
mothers last clinging embrace and her
fathers husky "Good-by, daughter"
with scarcely a tear.
OF course she had been brave Man,
ma would return In few weeks, and
then, after time, papa would like

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.

This was too much for Carolyn May
With fearful look at Uncle Joe's un-
compromising shoulders, she went Ia
the tree where Prince was chained.
Exchanging the chain for the leather
lensh with which she always led him
about, the little girl guided the mon
grel across the yard and around the
corner of the house.
Her last backward glnnce assured
her that the hardware dealer had not
observed her. Quickly and silently she
led Prince to the front gate, and they
went out together into the Custy road.
II know we oughtn't TO-" whis-
pered Carolyn May to her canine
friend, but feel I've just got to save
you, Prince. IL can't see you
drownd-cd dead like thatl"
She turned the nearest corner and
went up the road towards the little
closed, gable-roofed cottage where
Aunty Rose had lived before she had
come to be Uncle Joe's housekeeper.
Carolyn May had already peered
over Into the small yard of the cot
tage and had seen that Mrs. Kennedy
still kept the nower-beds weeded and
the walks nent and the grass plot
trimmed. But the window shutters
were barred and the front door built
up with boards.
Carolyn May went In through the
front gate and sat down on the door
step, while Prince dropped to Il COM
Portable attitude beside her. The dog
slept. The little girl rumlnated.
She would not go back TO Uncle
Joe's-no, indeed She did not know
just what she would do when dark
should come, but Prince should not be
sacrificed 20 her uncle's wrath.
A voice, low, sweet, yet startling,
aroused her.
What are you doing there, little
glrl?"
Both runaways started, but neither
or them was disturbed by the appear
ansce OF her who had accosted Caro-
lyn May.
"Oh. Miss Mandy - breathed the lit
tie girl, and thought that the carpen-
ter's daughter had never looked 80
pretty.
"What are you doing there?' repeat
ed Miss Parlow.

iyn May at last. She could be nothing

Carolyn May assured her, noddlng her
head with each declaration.
"Oh. my dear, what for?" asked
Miss Amanda.
So Carolyn May told her-and with
tears.
Meanwhile the woman came into the
yard and sat beside the child on the
step. With her arm about the little
girl, Miss Amanda snuggled her up
close, wiping the tears away with her
own handkerchief.
IL just can't have poor Prince

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy OF ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
its infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed.
No irrigation in this district. Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.
