Synopalv. Her father iirul mother reported lost ut sen when tho iDunrnvoi), on which they had sailed for Europe, was sunk, Carolyn May Cameron Hnnnn's Curiyn Is M'lit from New York to her bach elor uncle, Joseph .Stngg, at (he Corners. The n;ceptlon given her by hor undo 13 not very enthusiastic. Carolyn Ih iiIho chilled by the Htcrn demeanor of Aunty Hose, Uuele Joe's housekeeper. Stngg Is dismayed when he lcarnn from n lawyer friend of his brother-in-law that Carolyn has been left practically penniless and consigned to his care as guardian. Carolyn learns of the estrangement between her uncle anil his one-time sweetheart, Amanda Parlow, and the cause of the bitterness between tho two families. Prince, the mongrel dog that Carolyn brought with her, and tho boon companion of the lonesome girl, Is In disfavor with Undo Joe, who threatens to dispose of him, but Prince becomes n hero and wlnu tho approval of the Corners by routing ti tramp In tho act of robbing tho schoolteacher. The following Sunday, wlill Carolyn nnd her undo, accompanied by Prince, aro tnklng u walk In the woods they encounter Amanda Parlow. Prince kills n snake about to Htrlko Amnndn, nnd Stngg nnd Amanda Apeak to each other for the llrst tlmo In years. CHAPTER VIM. Chet Qormley Tell Some Newo. It was when she enme In sight of tho Parlow place on Monday after noon, eho nnd Prince, that Carolyn May bethought her of tho very best person In tho world with whom to nil Iso upon tho momentous question which so troubled her. Who could be more Interested In the happiness of Miss Amanda than Mr. Parlow himself? Tho little girl had been going to call on Miss Amanda. Aunty Iloso had nald alio might and Miss Amanda had Invited her "specially." Bnt tho thought of taking tho old carpenter Into her confidence and ad vising with him delayed that visit. Mr. Parlow was busy on some piece of cabinet work, bat he nodded briskly to tho Ilttlo girl when she enmo to tho door of tho shop and looked In. "Aro you very busy, Mr. Parlow?" 'aho asked him after a watchful rain hIb or two. "My hands be, Car'lyn May," said tho carpenter In his dry voice. "Oh!" "But I Ida llston to yo and I kin talk." "Oh, that's nice I Did you hear about what happened yesterday?" "Eh?" ho queried, eying her quizzi cally. "Docs anything ever happen on jtandny?" "Something did on this Snndny," cried tho Ilttlo girl. "Didn't you hear flout tho snake?" What do menn snnko?" ' And then ilttlo Carolyn May ex plained. She told tho story with such earnestness that he stopped working to listen. "Humph 1" waa his grunted com ment nt tho end. "Well 1" "Don't you think thnt was real ex citing?" naked Carolyn Mny. "And Just see how It almost brought my Undo Joo and your Miss Amandu to gether. Don't you sco?" Mr. Parlow actually Jumped. "What's that you Bay, child?" ho rasped out irrlmly. "Bring Mandy nnd Joo Stngg together? Well, I guess not I" "Oh, Mr. Parlow, don't you think that would bo Just be-a-you-tl-ful?" cried Uio little girl with a lingering emphasis upon tho most important word. "Don't you see how happy Uiey would bo?" "I don't know as anybody's per tlc'lar anxious to see that daughter of mine and Joo Stngg friendly again. No good would como of it." Carolyn May looked nt him sorrow fully. Mr. Parlow had quite disap pointed her. It was plain to bo seen that he was not tho right one to ad vlso with nbout tho matter. Tho Ilttlo girl sighed. "I really did H'pose you'd wont to Bee MIsh Amanda happy, Mr. Parlow," nho whispered. "Happy? Bah!" snarled tho old man, setting vigorously to work agulu. Ho acted ub If ho wished to say no moro and let the little girl depart without another word. Carolyn May renlly could not under stand It at least she could not Im mediately. That Mr. Parlow might have n self ish reason for desiring to keep hts daughter nnd Joseph Stngg apart did not enter the Ilttlo girl's mind. After that Sunday walk, however, Carolyn May wns never so much afraid of her undo ns before. Why, he hnd even called Prlnco "good dog!" Truly Mr. Joseph Stags was being transformed If slowly. Ho could not deny to himself that, to n certain extent, ho was onjoing the presence of his Ilttlo nleco nt The Corners. If ho only could decide Just what to do with tho personal property of his Mster Hannah nnd her hiHmnri down In tho New York apartment. Never In his life had ho been bo long deciding n question. Ho had really loved Hannah. He knew It now, did Joseph Stngg, evu-y tlmo ho looked nt tho lovely little child who had come to live with him t Tim Corners. Why! Just so hud nnnnan looked when she was a little thing. Tho Hiune deep, violet eyes uud sunny hair und laughing lies n . Ch(2 Gi l BY RUTH BELMORE ENDICOTT Mr. Stngg sometimes actually found n reflection of tho cheerful figure of "nnnnnh's Car'lyn" coming between him and tho big ledger over which he spent so many of his wnklng hours. Onco ho looked up from the ledger It wns on n Saturdny morning and really did sco tho bright figure of tho Ilttlo girl standing before him. It wns no dream or fancy, for old Jimmy, the cat, suddenly shot to tho topmost shelf, squalling with wild abandon. Prlnco wns nosing along at Carolyn May's side. "Bless mel" croaked Mr. Stngg. "That dog of yours, Curiyn May, will glvo Jimmy n connlptlonfit yet. What d'you want down hero?" Cnrolyn Mny told him. A mnn hnd como to tho house to buy a cow and Aunty Rose had sent the little girl down to tell Mr. Stagg to como homo nnd "drlvo his own bargain." "Well, well," sold Mr. Stngg, lock Jng tho ledger In the safe, "I'll hustlo right out nnd tend to It. Don't sco why tho mnn couldn't havo waited till noontime. Hey, you, Chet! Look out for the store. Don't have any fooling. And" "Oh, uncle I may I stay, too? Me nnd Prince?" cried Cnrolyn May. "We'll bo good." "Pshaw I Yes, If you want to," re sponded Mr. Stagg, hurrying uway. "My I your uncle's chnngln' moro and more, nln't he?" remarked Chet, tho optimistic. "He docs sometimes Think You Aro Lovely, Amanda." almost laugh, Curiyn. I never sco the beat of It!" "Oh, Is he?" cried tho Ilttlo child. "Is he looking up more? Do you think ho Is, Chet?" "I positively do," Chet assured her. "And ho hasn't always got his nose In that old ledger?" "Well I wouldn't say that ho neg lected business, m ma'am," said tho boy honestly. "You see, wo men hnvo got to think of business mostly. But he sure Is thlnkln' of some other things too ya-as, Indeedyl" "What things. Chet?" Carolyn May asked anxiously, hoping that Undo Joo had Miown f-ome recovered Inter est lu Miss Amanda and that Chet had noticed It. "Why well Now, you see, there's that house you used to live In. You l.now about that?" "What iilw.ut It, Chet?" tho little Blrl asked rather timidly. "Well, Mr. rMngg ain't never done nothln nbout it. llo ain't hold It, nor sold the furniture, lmr nothln'.

"And Mr. Vlckers snys: 'So the child hasn't anything of her own, JoeV " diet went on. "And your uncle says: 'Not a dollar, cept what I might sell that furniture for.' And he hasn't sold it yet, I know. Ho just can't make up his mind to sell them things that was your mother's, Car'lyn May," ndded tho boy, with a deeper Insight Into Mr. Stugg's character than one might have given him credit for pos sessing. But Carolyn May hnd heard some news that made her suddenly quiet and she was glad n customer came Into store Just then to draw diet Conn ley's nttentlon. The child hnd never thought before nbout how the good things of life came to her her food, clothes and lodging. Put now diet Gormlcy's chattering had given her n new view of the fncts of tho case. There had been no money left to spend for her needs, Uncle Joo was just keeping her out of charity I "And Prince, too," thought the little girl, with u lump in her throat. "lie hasn't got any more homo than n rab bit I And Uncle Joe don't really like dogs not even now. "Oh, dear mel" pursued Carolyn Mny. "It's uwful hard to be an or phan. But to bo n poor orphan Just a charity one Is u whole lot worse, 1 guess. I wonder If I ought to stay i with Uncle Joo nnd Aunty Rose und innko them so much trouble?" Tho thought bit deep Into the little girl's very impressionable mind. She wished to be ulono nnd to think over tills really tragic thing that faced her the ugly fact that she was u "charity child." "And you'ro a charity dog, Prince Cameron," she said aloud, looking down at the mongrel who walked so- (lately ucsluo ner along tno country road. Tho Ilttlo girl had loitered along the road until It was now dinner time. Indeed, Aunty Rose would have had tho meal on tho tnble twenty minutes earlier. Mr. Stagg had evidently re mained at The Corners to sell the cow and cat dinner too thus "killing two birds with ono stone." And here Cnrolyn Mny and Prlnco wero nt Mr. Pnrlow's carpenter shop, Just as the old man was tnklng off his apron preparatory to going In to his dinner. When Miss Amnnda was away nursing, tho carpenter ate at a neigh bor's table. Now Miss Amanda appeared on the side porch. "Where are you going, Ilttlo girl?" she asked, smiling. "nomo to Aunty Rose," said Carolyn Mny bravely. "But I guess I'm luto for dinner." "Don't you want to come In and ent with us, Cnrolyn Mny? Your own din ner will bo cold." "Oh, mny I?" cried tho little girl. ' Somehow she did not feel thnt sho i could faco Undo Joe just now with ' this now thought that Chet Gormley's words had put Into her heart. Then she hesitated, with her hand on tho gate lntch. "Will there bo some scraps for , Prince?" she nsked. "Or bones?" "1 believe I enn find something for Prince," Miss Amanda replied. "I owo him more thnn one good dinner, 1 guess, for killing thnt snnke. Come In nnd we will see." Carolyn Mny thought thnt Miss Amanda, in her houso dress nnd mined apron, with sleeves turned back nbovo her dimpled, brown elbows, was pret tier than ever. Her cheerful observa tions qulto enlivened Carolyn May again. "I think you nro lovely, Miss Amnn dn," sho said as she helped wipe the dishes after tho carpenter had gone back to tho shop. "I shall always lovo you. I guess that anybody who ever did lovo you would keep right on doing so till they died I They Just couldn't help Itl" "Indeed?" said tho woman, luughlng. "And how nbout you, Chicken LltUo? Aren't you universally beloved too?" "Oh, I don't expect so, Miss Aman da," said tho child. "I wish I was." " "Why aren't you?" ."I I Well, I guess It's Just be cause I'm not," Carolyn May said des perately. "You see, after nil, Miss Amanda, I'm only u charity child " "Oh, my child I" exclaimed Miss Anvmiln. "Who told you that?" "I I just heard about It," confi -nod tho Ilttlo visitor. "Not from Aunty Roso Kennedy ? "Oil, no, ma'nm." "Did that Did your uncle tell you such u thing?" "Oh, no! He's Just ns good nv ho can be. But of course ho doesn't llko children. You know he doesn't.

(TO BE CONTLNUEO) The Grime of Profiteering By HAMLIN GARLAND o 77u Vlitlhmtes S To my mind, one of the noblest phases of this war Is the outburst of generous clvlng on the part of the great merchants and manufacturers of America. It would be an Injustice not to admit this. The Impulse which leads a man to forego n salary of seventy-live thou sand dollars per annum or to neglect an enormous bushiest for a position on the government roll at one dollar per year Is mngnllleeut. I for one am Nnot disposed to cavil or criticize by Olivine I f Icj itfiuv tn ilvn im ii mil-I nry of that size 'because It argues it ' wealth which Is sufficient without It." I urn willing to jaunt the line spirit which lends men like Enruch, Itnscn wuld, Crane and House to give of their time and money uud genius to the cause for which we are lighting. My only care Is to see that I give In the same proportion and In the same mood. Without doubt there Is less of con scienceless profiteering In this war than In either the Civil war or the Spanish war, but having granted this, we ure still confronted with the fnct that there are In America today a I groat many men seeking ways to levy : tribute on those who ure unable to elude their demands. i No Objection to Fair Profit. The shnnkeeiior no less Hum the manufacturer, the pork-packer ns well as the cotton grower, are In this attack on the pockets of the consumer. The nrneess In tho fuse of inniiiifjietiireil articles Is simple. Take, for convent-, treated by society and by the departm ent example, shoes.

From Bethel, Jacob went to Pndnn oram to his mother's people. Here ho nerved I.aban for twenty years four teen years for his wives and six years for certain wages. In his dealings with I.aban he finds his match two schemers get together "diamond cuts diamond." 1. Jacob Departs for Canaan (31: 31-21). The time had come for Jncob to co back to his kindred In the land ot Canaan. The Lord instructed him so to do (V. III). TllOllgll going lorwnni tn.dcr the direction of (Sod, his Jacob nature caused him to take clandestine leave of Laban. When I.aban renllzcd the situation ho went in hot pursuit, but Cod appeared unto him in n dream and warned him against nny act of vi olence toward Jacob. They formed a compact und I.nban returned home. II. Jacob on the Way (chapter 32.) I.ahun's return freed Jacob from the enemy who wns pursuing him from chlnd, but he faced a more formlda- ble one in the person of Esau, 1. Jucob meeting the IlllgelS (V. 1).

Ksuu made no reply to .Tn cob's mes sage, but went forward with an nrmy of men, four hundred strong, to meet Jacob. Jacob Is In great distress, therefore he casts himself upon God '.n prayer. This Is a fine specimen of effectual prayer. It Is short, direct, nnd enrnest. (1) Ho reminds God of his command issued for his return, and nlso of the covenant promlso (31 :3).

God humbled him by dislocating his thigh. When thus humbled, he quit wrestling and dung to God. Ho got the blessing when he, conscious of his weakness, lnld hold of God. 4. Jacob gets n new nnmo (v. 28). Ho was no longer Jncob, tho sup plnntor; but Israel, a plnce of God. His new name was given him nfter he had n new nature. , He came faco to faco with God, and faco to faco with himself, and fought tho bnttlo to n finish.

God hnd evidently wrought with, Enu, for when Jacob approached him tho sting of bitterness was gone. It was not Jacob's scheming that re moved Esnu's anger, but the nctlon of the Supernatural upon his heart. At .Tabbok Jacob got right with God, so vhen he mot Esau it was an easy matter to get right with him. When ve nro right with God It Is nn easy matter to get right with our brother. In This Life.
