'Well-she'll be a nuisance; an aw.
full nuisance" was his final comment,
with a mountainous sigh.
Thus far. Aunty Rose Kennedy's at
tit1de towards the little stranger had
been the single pleasant dlsOppolnt-
ment Mr.. Stagg had experienced.
Aunty Rose was an autocrat. Joseph
Stagg had never been 80 comfortable
In his life as since Mrs, Kennedy had
taken up the management Of his home.
But he stood In great awe Of her.
He put the lawyers letter In the
safe. For once he was unable 10 re-
spond to a written communication
promptly. Although he wore that
band Of crepe on his arm he could not
actually realize the fact that his sister
Hannah was dead, O., ss-.s,~.~
Any time these fifteen years he
might have run down to New York to
see her First she had worked In
the newspaper office us stenogra-
pher. Then she had married John
Lewis Cameron and they had gone Inn
medlately to housekeeping. ~-
Cameron was a busy man; he held
n "desk Job" on the paper, Vacations
had been hard to get And before long
Hannah had written about her baby
"Hannah's Car'lyn."
After the little ones arrival there
seemed less chance than before for
the city family to get up to Sunrise
Cove. But at any time he might have
gone to them. II Joseph Stagg had
shut up his store for a week and gone
to New York, 1t would not have
brought the world to an end.
Nor was 1t because he was stlngy
that he had not done this. No, he was
no mlser. But he was fairly buried
in his business. And there was no
"look up" in that dim little office In
the back of the hardware store.
On this evening he closed the store
later than usual and set out for The
Corners slowly. To tell the truth, Mr..
Stagg rather shrank from arriving
home. The strangeness OF having a
child in the house disturbed his tran
quilllty.
The kitchen only was lighted when
he approached; therefore he was re-
assured. He knew Hannah's Carlyn
must have been put to bed long since.
1t was dark under the trees and
only long familiarity with the walk
enabled him to reach the back porch
Then it was that some
thing scrambled up in the dark and
the roar of dogs barking made Jo-
seph Stage leap back in fright.
"Drat that mongrel!" he calculated,
remembering Prince.
The kitchen door opened, revealing
Aunty Roses ample figure. Prince
whined sheepishly and dropped his abb
breviated tail, going to lie down again
at the extreme end Of his leash and
blinking his eyes at Mr.. Stage.
"The critters as savage as bearw
grumbled the hardware merchant.
"He Is a good watchdog; you must
allow that, Joseph Stage" Aunty Rose
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again.
1t would be hard to say which had
startled him the most-the dog or
Aunty Roses manner.

There never was a loveller place for
little girl-to say nothing of dog
to play in than the yard about the
Stage homestead; and this Carolyn
May confded to Aunty Rose one fore
noon after her arrival at The Cor
ners.
Behind the house the yard sloped
down to a broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here tho goose and duck pens
were fenced off, for Aunty Rose would
not allow the web-footed fowl to wan
der at large, as did the other poultry.
It was difficult for Prince to learn
that none of those feathered folk were
to be molested.

Prince from his nap. "Maybe there

went on. Lets go and see II we can

They went out of the yard together

call for help. No trace of the tug

crew worked over them for hours and
ten were restored to consciousness.
Two died.
