Behind the house the yard sloped
down to a broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here the goose and duck pens

grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay at her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose in hel
sunbonnet going toward the fenced-ir
garden they both jumped up ant
bounded down the slope after her. 1
was just here at the corner Of tn
garden fence that Carolyn May hat
her first adventure.

And II somebody had shipped him
a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stage
would have felt little more at loss
as to what disposal to make Of the
creature than he felt now regarding
his little niece. !,
"Well-she'll be nuisance; an aw-
full nuisance" was his final comment,
with a mountainous sigh.
Thus far, Aunty Rose Kennedy's at
titude towards the little stranger had
been the single pleasant disappoiAt-
ment Mr.. Stage had experienced.
Aunty Rose was an autocrat. Joseph
Stage had never been so 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 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 stenogra-
pher. Then she had married John
Lewis Cameron and they had gone i'm
mediatay to housekeeping.
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
"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 week and gone
to New York, it would not have
brought the world to an end.
Nor was it 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
| SOIuCIS SlOWlys ~ ICAA lAO AuIA, ALA
Stage rather shrank from arriving
home. The -strangeness of having a
child in the house disturbed his tram
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
It was 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 dogs barking made 10
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 alb
breviated tail, going to lie down agar
at the extreme end Of his leash ant
blinking his eyes at Mr.. Stagg.
''The critters as savage as bear I
grumbled the hardware merchant.
"He is good watchdog; you mus
| allow that, Joseph Stagg," Aunty Ros
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again
It would be hard to say which ha
startled him the most-the dog 0

.SH|PYARDS STRIKE
|. in SEATTLE IS OVER
sHIPBUILDERs DECLARE RE-
SUMPTION WEDNESDAY OF
THIS WEEK.
STILL ON CLOSED SHOP BASIS
Men Who Forfeited Their Places
Will Have to Be Reemployed-
Split in Ranks of Workers In
dictated by Reports.

tle.-Seattle's shipyards will re-
sumo operations Wednesday OF this
week after having been idle. since
$4,000 metal trades workers walked
out on a strike for a higher wage
scale January 81. Announcement to
this effect was formally issued by the
shipyard owners. The workers Will
be employed at the yard gates at the
same rate of pay as existed Jan. Il.
The announcement by the shipyard
owners followed conference and 1t
was made the vehicle of an emphatic
denial that the shipyards will be run
on the "open shop" basis. Men re-
turning to work will have to be re-
employed, the shipyard owners hold
ing that they forfeited their positions
when they went out on strike, and
this unemployment will be carried
out under the federal order February
H. which terminated the employment
of men through the regular United
States employment bureau. The for
NAL announcement, signed by the six
leading shipbuilding firms, was as
follows:
Will Abide by Agreement.
because of the notice served by
the steel shipbuilders to the govern
ment employment agency, under date
/ of February 49, that they would en-
ploy their men at the yard gates, it
has been persistently stated that this
has been a declaration on the part of
the employers for an open shop. This
we emphatically deny, and wish to
advise our employees, as well as the
public, that the steel shipbuilders in
tend to abide by the agreement be-
| tween the government of the United
/ States and the international presi-
dents of the unions, as expressed by
the president of the United States.
"The shipyards will resume oper.
atoms Wednesday at the rate of wage
in effect when they ceased operations
January 81"
A split in the ranks of striking
shipyard workers is indicated in re.
ports.

CHAPTER II-continued.

The window was open and she went
to 1t 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.
ooh, 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.
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
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
Ms into my bed after. my papa and

"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
odd lady sat in one Of the straightest

"Oh, may II" gasped the little girl
She dropped her hands into Aunt.
Roses lap. Somehow they found thos
larger, comforting hands and cuddle'
into them as the little girl sank t
her knees on the braided mat.
II the simple 'Now lay me" wa
familiar to Aunty Roses ear fror
long ago she gave no sign. When tn
earnest little voice added to the fol

composure.
She asked a blessing upon all he

HOW A CALF CLUB MAY
EXTEND IT'S USEFUL NESS

Why shouldn't boys and girls
calf club grow into Il mems and wo-
mems COW club? Or, more immedi-
ately speaking, a larger boys and
girls calf club-larger boys and girls,
that is, not larger club? Or, getting
nearer the meat--or the milk of the
thing, why shouldn't the club boy or
girl who raises calf milk that calf
when she becomes a COW, watch her
development, keep set of books on
her production, and, in a small way,
learn the essentials of dairy farming,
taking the figures to school and get
ting them interpreted, and inciden-
tally teaching the old man" a new
trick or two?
That is the question, in one form or
another asked by experts of the Dairy
Division of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t is a question
that farm people and agricultural eX-
tension workers might think about.
There may be more to say on the sub
iect after a while.
With the growing scarcity of feed
err cattle and the advance in value of
farm lands, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, the baby
beef industry is of increasing lmpor-
lance and is receiving the attention OF
farmers in all livestock sections OF
the country. Farmers Bulletin 81l
discusses the various phases of pro-
ducing baby beef for market.
Hog raisers, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, should be
well posted as to the nature and pre-
valence of hog tuberculosis and how
to prevent and get rid of it, SO that
financial losses may be avoided. Far
mers Bulletin ISL is devoted to a
discussion of the subject.
