CHAPTER w.
Aunty Rose Unbends.

There never was lovelier place for
a little girl-to say nothing Of dog
to play in than the yard about the
Stage homestead; and this Carolyn
May confided to Aunty Rose one fore
noon after her arrival at The Cor
ners.
Behind the house the yard sloped
down to broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here the 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.
There was wlde-branching oak
tree on knoll overlooking the brook.
Around its trunk Uncle Joe had built
seat. Carolyn May found this a
grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay at her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose in her
sunbonnet going toward the fenced-in
garden they both jumped up and
bounded down the slope after her. 1t
was just here at the corner of the
garden fence that Carolyn May had
her first adventure.
Prince, of course, disturbed the Sc
renity of the poultry. The hens went
shrieking one way, the guinea fowl
lifted up their voices In angry chat
ter, the turkey hens scurried to cover,
but the turkey cock. General Boil
var, big, white Holland fowl. was

Mr.. Joseph Stage, going down to his
store, past the home and carpenter

destination in very brown study. So

Of his little niece that he forgot to

Useful Trees Needed.

In many countries of Europe the
highways are lined with fruit trees,
pruned each year by the government.
In this country our highways are dec
Grated with hedges, few tame shade
trees, willows, catalpas, elms, cotton
wood, poplar, soft maple, box elder
all useless trees. We need black wal
nut, butternut, hickory, oak, hard ma
pie for sugar and various fruit trees.
We need spruce for airplanes and pine
trees for lumber. Thorn hedges are
nuisance. We need hazelnuts, null
berries, cherries, currants, raspberries,
blackberries, apples, plums, crabs,
peaches, pears, grapes. Where is a
more suitable place than our highways
and streets2

more than earn his keep and be an

bitter in his comment on the waste OF
opportunity in the so-called city parks
of New York. "When is city park

"When ii ceases TO offer either grass,
flowers, or the shade Of trees; when,
for instance, IL has IA large granite ba-
sin or fountain without water, which
Is gradually broken up and carried
away; when, at one end Ii harbOrs

years while the subway burrows Its

CHAPTER II-Continued.

The window was open and she went
10 it and looked out. A breath Of
honeysuckle blew In. Then, below, on
the porch, she heard the uneasy move
ments Of Prince. And he whined.
"Oh, poor Princey! He doesn't
know what's become of me-" thought
Carolyn May.
Downstairs, In the great kitchen,
Aunty Rose was stepping back and
forth, from table to sink. from sink to
dresser, from dresser to pantry. As
the daylight faded she lit the lamp
which swung from the ceiling and
gave light to all the room.
1t would have been impossible for
the wisest person to guess what were
the thoughts in Aunty Roses mind.
A glad little yelp from the dog tied
to the rail of the porch sounded sud-
denly. Even Aunty Rose could not
mistake that cry of welcome and she
credit, at least. She had heard no
other suspicious sound, but now she
crossed the room with firm tread and
opened the porch door. Yes, little
white figure was down there hugging
the whining mongrel.
Carolyn Mays fearful face was
raised from Princes rough neck.
"Oh, Aunty Rose! Oh, Aunty Rose !"
she sobbed. 81 just had to say good
night to somebody. Edna's mother
came and heard our prayers and tucked
us into my bed after my papa and
mamma went away. So it didn't seem
so bad.
"But tonight-why! tonight there
isn't anybody cares whether / go to
bed or not But Prince! Prince, he
knows just how-how empty l feel !"
"You would better come in now and
wash your face and hands again be-
fore going to bed. That dog has been
tapping them with his tongue.
Sobbing, the little girl Obeyed. Then
she would have gone back up the
stairs without word had not Aunty
Rose spoken.
"Come here, Carolyn May" she said
quite as sternly as before.
The little girl approached her. The
old lady sat in one of the straightest
of the STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs, her
hands in her comfortable lap. The
wet blue eyes were raised to her COM
posed face timidly.
IF you wish to say your prayers
here, before going upstairs, you may,
Carolyn May" she said.
UOh NOV To-, oasnad tho Iittla GIRL
She dropped her hands into Aunty
Roses lap. Somehow they found those
larger, comforting hands and cuddled
into them as the little girl sank to
her knees on the braided mat.
If the simple "Now 1 lay me" was
familiar to Aunty Roses ear from
long ago she gave no sign. When the
earnest little voice added to the for
NAL supplication desire for the bless
ing of "Upcle Joe and Aunty Rose"
the latter's countenance retained its
cOmposure.
She asked a blessing upon all her
friends, including the Prices, and even
Prince. But 1t was after that she put
the timid question to Aunty Rose that
proved to be almost too much for that
good woman's studied calm.
"Aunty Rose. do you spose I might
ask God to bless my mamma and
papa, even If they are lost at sea
Somehow don't think 1t would seem
SO lonesome II I could keep that in
my prayer"

And If somebody had shipped him

And IL somebody had shipped him
a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stage
would have felt little more at a lose
as to what disposal to make of the
creature than he felt now regarding
his little niece.
"Well-she'll be a nuisance; an aw
full nuisance" was his final comment
with mountainous sigh.
Thus far. Aunty Rose Kennedy's at
titude towards the little stranger hac
been the single pleasant disappoint
ment Mr.. Stage had experienced
Aunty Rose was an autocrat. JOSEPH
Stage had never been so comfortable
In his life as since Mrs. Kennedy haC
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 to re-
spond to 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.
Any time these fifteen years he
might have run down to New York to
see her. First she had worked in
the newspaper Office as a stenOgra-
pher. Then she had married John
Lewis Cameron and they had gone i'm.
mediately to housekeeping.
Cameron was busy man; he held
"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. If 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 stingy
that he had not done this. No, he was
no miser. 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
quillity.
The kitchen only was lighted when
he approached; therefore he was re-
assured. He knew Hannah's Car'lyn
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
noiselessly. Then 1t 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.. Stagg.
"The critters as savage as a bear I"
grumbled the hardware merchant.
"He is good watchdog; you must
allow that, Joseph Stage" Aunty Rose
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again.
It would be hard to say which had
startled him the most-the dog or
Aunty Roses manner.
