CHAPTER III.


"Well--She'll Be a Nuisance
Mr.. Joseph Stage, 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 a very brown study. SO
disturbed had he been by the arrival
of his little niece that he forgot to
question and cross-question young
Fleetwood Gormley regarding the pos
Sible customers that had been in the
store during his absence.
"And / tell you what / think, moth

supper that evening. Il think her
coming's going to bring about changes.
Yes, ma'aml"
Mrs. Gormley was a 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.
"You know, mother" he said, on
this evening of the arrival of CAROLYN
May, Il never have seen any great
chance TO rise. workin' for Mr.. Joseph
Stagg"

CHAPTER lI-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.
"Oh, poor Princeyi 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
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, a little
white figure was down there hugging
the whining mongrel.
Carolyn Mays fearful face was
raised from Princes rough neck.
"Oh, Aunty Rosel Oh, Aunty Rose I"
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 1t didn't seem
so bad.
but tonight-why tonight there
isn't anybody cares whether l 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.
"Oh, may II" 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 "Now 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 its
composure.
She asked 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 s'pose 1 might
ask God to bless my mamma and
papa, even if they are lost at sea?
Somehow / don't think it would seem
so lonesome if I could keep that In
my prayer"

New YOrk-The most remarkable
element Of this remarkable war has
been its coincidence, says CORE
spondent of the New York Sun who
witnessed the surrender Of the first
lot of submarines by the Germans. On
that tense November morning when
through the gray mists of the North
sea came creeping the first score o.
boats to surrender to the British navy
l stood at the port rails of the de-
stroyer, H. NJ. S. Melampus.
The setting for the last act of the
terrible sea drama of this century was
fitting-a still morning with the mists
just breaking, a forlorn silver moon
lingering, though the red sun was
beaming through in the east. Above
our heads was patch of green and
lemon sky, and the North sea lay with
hardly a ruffie, gray with hint of
gold, like the pulsation of a hidden
light.
A British light cruiser-one of the
newest-with destroyers on either
flank headed in the line of surrender
Two German hospital ships used as
transports-the Sierra Ventant and
the Titania-followed them. One af-
ter another, long low phantoms, some
white, some dappled, some black, came
out of the mist, their crews standing
on deck like black fence, no colors
showing and no sound.
After some maneuvers the process
sion stopped and before us lay seven
submarines, with others out of vision.
The sun had grown stronger and the
light cruisers and destroyers were
picked out in white In their beautiful
subtle shapes against the grayness,
Admiral Tyrwhitt's flagship, with its
yellow flag, in the chief position.
AS one looked at the destroyer car
rying the British submarine comman-
ders and crews who were to take over
the German submarines the British
ships seemed to form q circle, and
everywhere one turned there was a
British white ensign at the peak. The
British ships, too, had stopped and
seemed to lie expectantly watching the
uuul tNeul.
AS one gazed in the silence, this cir
Gle of white ensigns and silent ships
and the sense of everything focused
on these low, strange marine shapes,
hardly out of the sea, was thrilling.
To spectator, the flags seemed as
eternal as the hills that looked down
on Childe Roland at the hour of his
fate. But when the German subma-
rine navy came to it's dark tower to-
day there was no bugle blast. The
event was accomplished with English
decorum and German stolidity.
Cns Captain Even Wept.
One German commander protested
against navigating his vessel into har-
Dor, and his protest was recorded. and
he navigated his ship into harbor. An
other commander broke down as he
left his ship and could not conceal his
tears. Another, when the British COM
mander went on board, was unable to
speak for minute, and had to signal
to subordinate to carry on. The
commander of the first submarine
which the British boarded took his
Iron Cross from his neck and ground

And II somebody had shipped him
a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stagg
would have felt little more at a 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 disappoint-
ment Mr.. Stagg had experienced.
Aunty Rose was an autocrat. Joseph
Stage bad 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 tho
safe. For once he was unable to re-
spond to a 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.
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 Stage had
shut up his store for week and gone
to New York, 1t 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
Corners slowly. To tell the truth, Mr..
Stage 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,lvn
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 it was that some
thing scrambled up in the dark and
the roar of a dogs barking made Jo-
seph Stage leap back in fright.
"Drat that mongrell" he calculated,
Prince.
The kitchen door opened, revealing
Aunty Roses ample figure. Prince
whined sheepishly and dropped his alb
breviated tail. going to lie down again
at the extreme end of his leash and
blinking his eyes at Mr.. Stage.
"The critters as savage as a bear !"
grumbled the hardware merchant.
HE is good watchdog; you must
allow that, Joseph Stage" Aunty Rose
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again.
1t would be hard to say which had
startled him the most-the dog or
Aunty Roses manner.
