CHAPTER XIX.
The Home Of Carolyn May.


It was some distance from the raih
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 uncomplaiD-

who noticed her the impression that

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 1t was the only home she felt
that was left for her.
She could not blame Uncle Joe and
Miss Amanda for forgetting her.
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

the bag from hand to hand, Primes
pacing sedately by her side.
'We're getting near home now Prin

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 q shop
"Of course, poor fellowl That's the
butchers" Carolyn May said.
She bought penny afternoon pa
per on a news stand and then went
into the shop and got a nickel's worth
OF bones and scraps for the dog. The
clerk did not know her, for he was
q new man.

in whisper "But 1t means changes
here. Things won't be the same for
long l know Joseph Stage for what
he is"
"What Ii he, ,Aunty Rose" asked
Carolyn May in some trepidation, for
the housekeeper seemed to be much
bowed.
Hes very determined man. Once
he gets set in way, he carries every
thing before him. Mandy Parlow is
going to be made Mrs. Joseph Stage so
quick that It'll astonish her. Now, you
believe me, Carolyn May"
"0hi" was the little girls comment.
"Tbere'll be changes here very sud-
den. Two's company, three's a crowd
Carolyn May. Never was a truer say
lng. Those two will want just each
other-and nobody else.
swell, Carolyn May, II you've fin
lshed your supper, we'd better go up to
bed. It's long past your bedtime"
@Yes. Aunty Rose" said the little
girl In naffied voice.
Aunty Rose did not notice that Caro-
lyn May did not venture to the door of
the sitting room to bid either Uncle
Joe or Miss Amanda goodnight. The
child followed the woman upstairs with
faltering steps, and In the unlighted
bedroom that had been Hannah Stages
she knelt at Aunty Roses knee and
murmured her usual petitions.
"Do bless Uncle Joe and Miss
Amanda, now they're so happy" was
q phrase that might have thrilled
Aunty Rose at another time. But she
was 80 deep In her own thoughts that
she heard what Carolyn May said per
functorily.
With her customary kiss, she left
the little girl and went downstairs.
Carolyn May had seen so much excite
ment during the day that she might
have been expected to sleep at once,
and that soundly. But 1t was not so.
The little girl lay with wide-open
eyes, her Imagination at work.
"Two's company. three's a crowd"
she took that trite saying, In which
Aunty Rose had expressed her own
feelings, to herself. II Uncle Joe and
Miss Amanda were going to be mar
ried, they would not want anybody
else syourxl OF course not
"And what will become Of mer
thought Carolyn May chokingly.
All the emptiness of the last few
months swept over the soul of the lit
tie child In wave that her natural
fheerfulness could not Withstand. Her
anchorage in the love of Uncle Joe
and Miss Amanda was swept away.
The heart of the little child swelled.
Her eyes overfiowed. She sobbed her
self to sleep, the pillow muffiing
the sounds, more forlorn than ever be-
fore since she had come to The Cor
ners,

power in the household Of the Stagg

She washed her face and hands. Her
hair was already combed and neatly

some bread and butter, and. with this
in her hand, unlocked the porch door
and went out. Prince got up, yawning.

Then she unclaimed the dog and
picked up her bag. Prince pranced
