CHAPTER ~.
"weII-sheri Be a Nuisance"

Weii-She1t Be Nuisance"
Mr.. Joseph Stagg, going down to his
store. past the home and carpenter
shop OF Jedidiah Parlow, at which he
did not even look. finally came to his
destination In very brown study. So
disturbed had he been by the arrival
or his little niece that he forgot TO
question and cross-question young
Chetwood GOrmley regarding the pos
sible customers that had been In the
store during his absence.
"And tell you what i think, moth
err" Chet said, with his mouth full, at
supper that evening. II think her
coming's going TO bring about changes.
Yes, ma'am!"
Mrs. Gormley was a faded little
woman-a widow-who went out sew
ing for better-tO-do people In Sunrise
Cove. She naturally thought her boy
Chetwood great deal smarter than
other people thought him.
"YOu know. MOTHER" he said. on
this evening Of the arrival Of Carolyn
May. II never have seen any great
chance to rise, workin' for Mr. Joseph
Stagg."
''But he pays you. Chet." his mother
said anxiously.
''Yep. know. Don't be afraid I'll
leave him TIL see something better"
he reassured her. "But ] might be
cIerkln' for him till the cows come
home and never see more'n six or
eight dollars a week. But now it's
apt to be different"
Elbow different. Chetf" she asked.
puzzled.
"You know Mr.. Stagg's as hard as
nails--as hard as the goods he SELLS"
declared the gawky boy. "Mind you,
he don't do nothin' mean. That amt
his way. But he don't seem TO have
a mite Of interest in anything but his
shop. Now. It seems to me. this little
niece is bound TO wake him up. He
calls her 'Hannah's Carlyn.'"
"Hannah Stagg was his only sister,"
said Mrs. Gormley softly. II remem-
ber her"
"And she's Just died. or something.
and left this little girl" Chet contin-
ued. "Mr. Stages bound to think of
something now besides business. And
mebbe he'll need me more. And I'll
get n chance to show him I'm worth
something to him. SO, by and by. he'll
put me forward In the business" said
the boy, his hOmely face glowing.
"WhO knows? Mebbe it1l be Stagg Il
Gormley over the door one of these
days. Stranger things have hap
pened."
Perhaps even Chetwood's assurance
would have been quenched had he just
then known the thoughts In the hard
ware merchants mind. Mr.. Stagg sat |
In his back Office poring over the let |
ter written by his brother-in-laws law
yer friend, a part Of which read:
