was, when the train came along Caro-
Ign May. after seeing Prince put into
the baggage car, climbed aboard with
the help of a brakeman.
"Of course, If he howls awfully," she
told the baggageman, who gave her a
check without question, II shall have
to go in that car and sit with him."
There were not many people in the
car. They steamed away from Sun
rise Cove and Carolyn May dabbled
her eyes with her handkerchief and
told herself to be brave.
The stations were long way apart
and the conductor did not come
through for some time. When he did
open the door and come into the car
Carolyn May started up with glad
cry. 1t was the very conductor who
had been so kind to her on the trip up
from New York.
The railroad man knew her at once
and shook hands most heartily with
her.
"Where are you going, Carolyn
MayY he asked.
"All the way with you, sir" she re-
piled.
'To New York;"
"Yes, sir. I'm going home again"
'Then I'll see you later" he said,
without asking for her ticket.
The conductor remembered the little
| girl very well, although he did not
remember all the details of her story.
He was very kind to her and brought
her satisfying news about Prince in
the baggage car. The brakeman was
nice, too, and brought her water to
drink in paper cup.

ty-fifth street and it's elevated station
That was not where she had boarded
the train going north, when Mr.. Price
had placed her in the conductors care
but it was nearer her old home-that
she knew. So she told the brakeman
she wanted to get out there and he
arranged to have Prince released.
The little girl alighted and got hel

down on the street level before the
train continued on it's journey down
town.
At the Grand Central terminal thu

sent from Sunrise Cove by a certain
frantic hardware dealer and that tele
gram told him something about Caro-
Ign May of which he had not though
to ask.

eyes only for each other-thOughts
only for each other.
Even a child could see something Of
this. The absorption of the two made
Aunty Roses remarks very impressive
to Carolyn May.
A week of this followed-a week in
which the trouble in Carolyn Mays
heart and brain seethed until 1t be-
came unbearable. She was convinced
that there would soon be no room for
her in the big house. She watched
Aunty Rose pack her own trunk, and
the old lady looked very glum, indeed.
She heard whispers Of an immediate
marriage, here in the house, with Mr..
briggs as the officiating clergyman.
Carolyn May studied things out for
herself. Being child, her conclu-
sions were not always wise ones.
She felt that she might be STUN

of Uncle Joe and Amanda Parlow.
They might have to set aside their own
desires because of her. She felt vague
ly that this must not be.
II can 60 home," she repeated over
and over to herself.
"Hcme" was still in the New York
city apartment house where she had
lived so happily before that day when
her father and mother had gone aboard
the Inflated Dunraven.
Their complete loss out of the little
girls life had never become fixed In
her mind. 1t had never seemed surety
not even after her talks with the
sailor, Benjamin Hardy.
Friday afternoon the little girl went
to the churchyard and made neat the
three little graves and the one long
one on the plot which belonged to
Aunty Rose Kennedy. She almost
burst into tears that evening, too
when she kissed Aunty Rose goot
night at bedtime. Uncle Joe was down
at the Parlows'. He and Mr.. ParloW
actually smoked their pipes together
in harmony on the cottage porch.
Aunty Rose was usually an early
riser; but the first person up at The
Corners on that Saturday morning was
Carolyn May. She was dressed full
hour before the household was usually
astir.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Home of Carolyn May.

1t was some distance from the rail-
road station to the block on which
Carolyn May Cameron had lived all
her life until she had gone to stay
with Uncle Joe Stage. The child knew
she could not take the car, for the con-
ductor would not let Prince ride.
She started with the dog on his
leash, for he was not muzzled. The
bag became heavy very soon, but she
staggered along with 1t uncosplain-
ingly. Her disheveled appearance,
with the bag and the dog, gave people
who noticed her the impression that
Carolyn May had been away, perhaps,
for "fresh-air" vacation, and was
now coming home, brown and weary,
to her expectant family.
But Carolyn May knew that she was
coming home to an empty apartment
to rooms that echoed with her moth
er's voice and in which fingered only
memories of her fathers CHEEKY spirit.
Yet it was the only home, she felt,
that was left Tor her.
She could not blame Uncle Joe and
| NllSS Aluduud lOE forgetting
Aunty Rose had been quite disturbed,
too, since the forest fire. She had
given the little girl no hint that pro-
vision would be made for her future.
YEARLY, Carolyn May Travelled
through the Harlem streets, shifting
the bag from hand to hand, Prince
pacing sedately by her side.
"We're getting near home now, Prin-
cey," she told him again and again.
Thus she tried to keep her heart up
She came to the corner near which she
had lived so long and Prince suddenly
shifted at the screened door Of a shop
"Of course, poor fellow! That's the
Butchers" Carolyn May said.
She bought a penny afternoon pa
per on news stand and then went
into the shop and got nickel's worth
of bones and scraps for the dog. The
clerk did not know her. for he was
new man.

1t was certainly fact that Amanda
Parlow Immediately usurped some
power in the household Of the Sta9g
homestead. She ordered Joseph Stage
not to 60 down to his store that next
day. And he did not!
Nor could he attend to business for
several days thereafter. He was too
stiff and lame and his burns were too
painful.
Chef Gormley came up each day for
instructions and was exceedingly full
of business. A man would have to be
very exacting indeed to find fault with
the interest the boy displayed in run
hing the store just as his employer de-
sired 1t to be run.
II tell you what it is, Carlyn," Chef
drawled. in confidence. I'm mighty
sorry Mr.. Stage got hurt like he did
But lemme tell you, it's just givin' me
the chance of my life!

will. And NELL be runnin' the bust

Stage will see jest how much value
be to him. Why, it'll be the maxim O
me !" cried the optimistic youth.
Yes, Carolyn May heard it on al
sides. Everybody was talking abou
the affair Of Uncle Joe and Mis-
Amanda.
Every time she saw her uncle ant
