1.-THE German soldiers do
not as q rule dislike the Ameri-
cans. The prisoners we took
were SO well treated that In
many cases they were left
without guard much of the
time. You could not run
them away. In talking to
some of these prisoners they
said they expected to have to
fight America but did not
think they would have to do
it so soon. The Germans ex-
pected to whip France and
England and then take on the
United States.
"One German prisoner said
to me, You don't need to
worry about this war lasting
much longer. The German
soldiers have determined for
themselves that if peace nego-
tiations are not started by the

their guns and walk across

signed on the 18th, and with

Of the Finest Attributes Of

Great as Washington was, yet In
his breast brightly burned the light OF
humility. One OF the favorite pas
sages Of Washington's farewell mes
sage reads as follows:

of my administration. I am uncon-

CHAPTER XII.
Something Carolyn May Wishes to


Something Carolyn May Wishes te
Know.
Carolyn Mays heart WIS filed with
trouble.
This was the result of her first talk
with the old sailor. Not from him, MOI
from anybody else. did Carolyn May
get any direct information that the
sailor had been aboard the Dunraven
ON her fatal voyage. But his story
awoke In the child's breast doubts and
longlngs, uncertainties and desires that
mad lain dormant for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her
and were kind to her. But that feel
Ing of emptiness" that had at first so
troubled Carolyn May vas returning.
She began TO drOop. K~een-eyed
Aanty Rose discovered this physical
change very quickly.
"She's just like a droopy chicken"
declared the good woman. "and, good
ness knows. I have see enough OF
them"
So. as a sfimulant and a preventive
OF "droop!ness," Aunty Rose prescribed
boneset tea, plenty of It."
Three times a day Carolyn May was
,dosed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will be
known. Carolyn May got no better,
that was sure: but one day something
happened.
Winter had moved on In its usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
had kent up all her interests-after .
fashion.
benjamin Hardy had gone to Adams
camp to work. II seemed ne could use
a peevy. or canthook. pretty well, hav-
Ing done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim. the hackman. worked at
logging In the winter months. too. He
usually went past the Stagg place with
a team four times each day.
There raj something Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy, but
she did not want anybody else to know
what 1t was-not even Uncle Joe or
Aunty Rose. Once In the fall and be-
fore the snow came she had ridden as
far as Adams camp with Mr.. Pariow.
He had gone there for some hickory
weed.
But, now, to ride on the empty sled
going In ana on top or the load or logs
coming out OF the forest, Carolyn May
felt sure, would be much more exciting.
She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
on a Friday evening.
We'll, now. II It's pleasant. / don't
see anything to forbid. Do you, Aunty
Rosew Mr.. Stagg returned
II presume Tim will take the best OF
care OF her." the woman said. Maybe.
getting out more In the air will make
her look less peaked. Joseph Stagg."
The excitement Of preparing to 60
to the camp the next morning brought
the roses into Carolyn Mays cheeks
and made her eyes sparkle. When
Tina the hackman. went into town
With his 6rst load he was forewarned
by Annty Rose that he would have
company going back.

rlainned Tim. '-rhe boys will near bout
