Suddenly an object appeared in the

dog parked again. Mr.. Stage shouted:
"Hey, Prince! Prince Here we
are"
The mongrel made for the hardware
merchant and almost Knocked him
over. He was mad with joy.
"Show 'em to us, good dog" cried
Uncle Joe. "Take US to 'em! Where's

Prince Tapped Mr.. Stages face and
then ran off through the falling snow,
barking and leaplng. The men hur-
rled after him. Twice or thrice the
dog was back, to make sure that he
was followed. Then the men saw
something outlined in the driving snow.
"Unce Joel Uncle Joe!
The chlld's shrill voice reached the
hardware merchant. There was poor
Chef, staggering on, leaning against
the wind, and pulling the sled behind
him.
swell, you silly chump!" growled
Joseph Stage. "Where're you going,
anyway"
"Oh, Uncle joel" walled Carolyn
May, "he isn't anything like that at
all! Hes just the bravest boy; And
he's all wet and cold"
At the conclusion Of this declaration
poor Chef fell to his knees and then
slipped quietly forward on his face.
II yum" grunted the hardware deal
er, II guess the boy is all In"
But Chef did not lose consciousness.
He raised a faint murmur which
reached Mr. Stages ears.

"Say, kid" exclaimed the cook, II

is froze stiff"
"Pick him up and put him on the
sled here, boys" Mr.. Stage said. "Tll
carry Hannah's Carlyn myself"
The party, including the excited
Prince, got back to the docks without
losing any time and without further
accident. Still the chapel bell was
ringing and somebody said:
"We'd have been up a stump for
knowing the direction if it hadn't been
for that bell"
Me too" muttered Chef Gormey.
THAT'S what KEEP me goin', folks

Joseph Stage, carried his niece up
to Mrs. Gormleys little house, while
one of the men helped Chef along to
the same destination. The seamstress
met them at the door wildly excited.
And what do you think?" she cried.
