Cameron was busy man; he held a 'desk job" on the paper. Vacations had been hard to get. And before long Hannah had written about her baby "Hannahs 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 StaEg had shut up his store for week and gone to New York. it would not have brought the world to an end.
 Nor WIS it because he was stingy that he had not done this No, he was 10 miser. But he was fairly buried in his business. And there was no Hook III" 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, Mir. Staeg rather shrank from arriving home. The strangeness of having Il. child in the house disturbed his tran qufllity.
 The kitchen only was lighted when he approached; therefore he was re- assured He knew Hannah's Car1yn must have been put to bed long since.
 It WIS dark under the trees and only long familiarity with the walk enabled him to reach the back porch noiselessly Then it was that some thing scrambled up in the dark and the roar of q dogs barking made Jo- seph Stagg leap back in fright.
 "Drat that mongreII" he ejaculated. remembering Prince.
 The kitchen door opened, revealing AHnty Roses ample figure. Prince whined sheepishly and dropped his ab- breyiated tail, going to lie down again at the extreme end of his leash and blinking his eyes at Mir. Stagg.
 "The critters as savage as bear l' grumbled the hardware merchant.
 "He Is a good watchdog you must allow that, Joseph Stagg,n 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.

CHAPTER III.
"WelI-sherI Be Nuisance.


 Mir. 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 of 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 I tell you what i think, moth- er," Chet said, with his mouth full, at supper that evening. q think her coming's going to bring about changes. Yes maamr'
 Mrs. Gormley was n faded little woman-a widow-who went out sew ing for better-to-do people in Sunrise Cove. She naturally thought her boy Chetwood a great deal smarter than other people thought him.

Aunt. .Rose. .unhends.

There never was q lovelier place for little girl-to say nothing of dog to play in than the yard about the Stagg homestead; and this Carolyn May contided 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. us did the other poultry.
 It was difficult for Prince to learn that none of those feathered folk were to be molested.
 There was wide-branching oak tree on knoll overlooking the brook. Around its trunk Uncle Joe had built q seat. Carolyn May found this q grand place to sit and dream, while Prince lay at her feet.
 When they saw Aunty Rose in her sunbOnnet going toward the feneed-in garden they both jumped up and bounded down the slope after her. It was just here at the corner of the garden fence that Carolyn May had her first adventure.
 Prince. of course. disturbed the se- 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 Boli- var, big, white Holland fowl, was not to have his dignity disturbed and his courage impugned by any four footed creature with waggish ears and the stump of a tail.

 The window was open and she went to 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 Princeyl 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.
 It 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 knew very little about dogs-to their credit, at least. She had heard no other suspicious sound, but now she
  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 r she sobbed. "I 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 I go to bed or not But Prince! Prince, he knows just how-how empty I feel in 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 straight-backed 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.
 "Oh, may IF" gasped the little 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 "New I 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 a desire for the bless ing of Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose" the latter's countenance retained it's 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 I don't think it would seem so lonesome if I could keep that in my prayer

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness. and that Is by a constitutional remedy. HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be re- duced and this tube restored to its nor. mai condition, hearing may be destroyed forever. Many cases of Deafness are caused by Catarrh which is an infiamed condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

Public Market Man Says
