Mny Cameron Hntinn's Car'lyn Is sent from New York to her bach

CHAPTER VI Continued.
Aunty Rose remained, apparently,
ns austere ns ever, whllo Joseph
Stagg was Quito ns much Immersed In
business ns formerly. Yet thero wero
times, when she nnd the child were
nlonc, that Mrs. Kennedy unbent, In n
greater or less degree. And on tho
part of Joseph Stngg, ho found himself
thinking of sunny-hnlrcd, blue-eyed
"Ilnnnah'B Cnr'lyn" with Increasing
frequency.
"Didn't you ever have nny Httlo
girls, Aunty Itoso?" Carolyn Muy ask
ed tho housekeeper on ono of these In
timate occasions. "Or Httlo boys? I
moan of your very own."
"Yes," Bald Aunty Hose In n matter-of-fact
tone. "Three. Hut only to
liavo Uicm In my arms for u very llttlo
while. Each died Boon after coming
to mc. Thero was something quite
wrong with them nil, so tho doctors
said."'
"Oh, my dear I All threo of them?"
Blghod Carolyn May.
"Two girls and n boy. Only ono
lived (d be threo months old. They
nre all burled behind tho church yon
der.", Tho next morning early Cnrolyn
Mny, with Prince, wont over Into the
churchyard and found tho threo Httlo
Btoncs In n row. She knew they must
bo tho right 6hes, for thero wns n big
got stone, with tho Inscription, "Frank
Kennedy, beloved spouse of ltoso Ken
nedy." upon It.
Tho nnmc3 on tho threo little stones
were Emcllno, Frank, Jr., and Clarissa.
Weeds nnd tall grass had begun to
Bprout about tho little, lozenge-shaped
stones and about the taller one.
Whllo sho was thus engaged, a tall
man In black looking rather "weedy"
himself, if tho truth were tpld enmo
across the grnvoyard anl stood bcsldo
her. ITo wore n broad band of crepo
nyound his hat and on his arm, nnd
wns very graVo and serious-looking.
"Who nro you, llttlo girl?" he nsked,
his volco being qulto agrecablo und
ills tone-kindly.
"I'm Cnr'lyn May, If you please,"
she replied, looking up at him frankly.
"Cnr'lyn Mny Stngg?", ho nsked.
"You're Mr. Slagg's llttlo girl? I've
heard of you." '
"Cnr'lyn May Cameron," sho correct
ed seriously. "I'm only staying with
Uncle .Too. lit! Is my guardian, and ho
hnd to tnko me, of course, when my
papa and mamma wero lost at sen."
"Indeed?" returned the gentleman.
"Do you know who i; am?"
"I I think," said Carolyn Mny,
doubtfully, "that you must bo tho un
dertaker." For n moment tho gentleman looked
filnrtlcd. Then ho flushed n llttlo, but
hh eyes twinkled.
"Tho undertaker?" ho murmured.
"Do I look like that?"
"Excuse me, sir," said Carolyn May.
"I don't really know you, you know.
Mn bo you're not tho undertaker."
"No, I am not. Though our under
taker, Mr. Sulvvlns, Is n very good
man."
"Yes, sir," wild tho llttlo girl, po
litely. "1 nm tho pastor here your pnstor,
1 hope," ho said, putting n kind hand
upon her' bend.
"Oh, 1 know you now!" said Cnro
lyn May brightly. "You're- tho man

Itev. Af ton Drlggs looked rather odd
ngnln. Tho shocking frankness of tho
child camo pretty near to flooring
him.
"f o hem I Your undo compliments
mo," ho sold drily. "You don't know
that ho is ready to do his share, do
you?"
"Ills share ?" repeated tho puzzled
llttlo girl.
"Toward strangling tho Evil Ono,"
pursued tho minister, a wry smllo curl
ug tho corners of his lips.
"Has bo got a share In It, too?"
n.tked Carolyn May.
"I think wo all should have," said
tho minister, looking down at her with
returning kindliness In his glnnco.
"Even llttlo girls like you."
Cnrolyn May looked at him quite so
tlnusly. Do you B'posu," sho asked him con
fidentially, "that Satan Is really
tvlrkoi! enough to trouble llttlo girls?"

phy thus suggested, nnd Mr. Drlggs
shook his head In grave doubt But It
guvo him something to think of all thnt
dny; nnd the first sermon preached In
Tho Cornors church that nutumn
scorned rather different from most of
those solid, Indigestible discourses that
tho good man was wont to drono out
to his parishioners.
"Dunno but it is worth whllo to glvo
tho pnrson n vacation," pronounced
Uncle Joo at the dinner table. "Seems
to mc his sermon this morning seemed
to hnvo a new snap to It. Mebbe ho'll
glvo old Satan a hard rub tills winter,
after all."
"Joseph Stagg I" said Aunty Itoso
udmonlshlngly.
"I think ho'a a vory nlco mnn," said
Carolyn May suddenly. "And I kep'
nwako most of tho time you bcc, I
heard poor Prlncoy howling for mo
here, where ho wns' tied vp."
"Hum I" ejaculated Mr. Stagg.
"Which kept you nwnkc tho dog or
tho minister?"
"Oh, I llko Mr. Drlggs very much,"
tho llttlo girl assured hlra. "And he's
In groat 'fllctlon, too, I nm sure. lie
ho wears crepo on his hat nnd sleeve."
"riuh, so ho doofl," grunted Mr.
Stngg. "Do's 'most always In mourn
ing for somebody or something."
"Do you H'posc, Undo Joe, that ho
looks up enough? It does Just seem
to mo ns though poor Mr. Drlggs must
always bo looking down Instcnd of
looking up to seo tho sunslilno and the
blue sky and and tho mountnlns, like
my papa said you should.
Undo Joo was Bllent. Aunty Itoso
said, very briskly for her:
"And your pnpa wns right, Car'lyn
May. Ho was a very scnslblo mnn, I
hnvo no doubt."
"Oh, he was qulto a wonderful mnn,"
said tho llttlo girl with full assurance.
It wns ou tho following morning Hint
school opened. Tho Corners district
school was a red building, with n
squatty boll tower nnd two front
doors, standing not far up tho rond be
yond the church.
Miss Mlnnlo Lester taught tho
school, and although Miss Minnie
looked very Bhnrply through her
glasses nt one, Cnrolyn May thought
sho was going to lovo tho teacher very
much.
Indeed, that was Carolyn May's at
titude toward almost everybody whom
sho met. Sho expected to lovo nnd to
bo loved. Was It nny wonder alio rondo
so m'any friends?
Thero proved, however, nt tho stnrt,
to bo n little difficulty with Miss Min
nie. Prlnco would not roninln at home.
IIo howled nnd whined for thollrst half
of Mondny rooming's session as
Aunty Rose confessed, almost driving
her mad. ,Thcn ho slipped his collar
and (oro nwny on Cnrolyn Mny's cold
trail.
Into Uio school marched tho dog,
having drown tlm stnplo with which
his chain had been fastened to tho
bole of tho treo In Mr. Stngg's back
yard.
Miss Mlnnlo was bodi alarmed and
angry. Somo of tho llttlo girls shrieked
nnd wept when Prlttco pranced over
to Carolyn May's scat
"If you do not shut thnt awful dog
up so thnt ho ennnot follow you here,
Cnrolyn Mny, 1 shnll speak to your un
cle, Mr. Stagg, about It. Ugh, tho ugly
beast I Take him nwny at once I"
So Carolyn May's schooldays at Tho
Coiners did not begin very happily,
after all. She had always loved and
been loved by every teacher sho had
ever hnd before. Rut Miss Mlnnlo
seemed prejudiced ngnlnat her because
of Prince.
Tho llttlo girl felt badly about this,
but sho was of too cheerful a tempera
ment to droop for long under tho pres
sure of nny trouble. Tho other chil
dren lilted jcr, nnd Cnrolyn May fouud
plenty of playmates.
It was ou tho last Friday In tho
month that something happened which
qulto changed Miss Minnie's nttltudo
towards "that mongrel." Incidentally.
Tho Corners, as a community, was ful
ly awnkened from Us lethargy, and, as
it chanced, llko tho Sleeping Ueauty
and nil her retinue, by n Prince.
The school session on Friday after
noons wns always shortened. This
dny Mr. Brady, ono of tho school trus
tees, camo to rcvlow tho school and,
beforo ho left, to pay Miss Mluulo her
snlary for tho month.
, Cnrolyn Mpy had permission from
AUiuj iiu.10 to go caning that aft.
noon. Freda Pnyno, whom she llkw
very much, lived up tho rood beyont
the schoolhouse, and sho had Invito
tho llttlo city girl to come to sec her
Of course, Prlnco had to bo included
In the Invitation. Freda fully under
stood thnt, and Carolyn May took lilts
on his lcnsh.
They saw Miss Minnie nt her des
when they went past the schoolhouse.
Sho was correcting written exercises.
Carolyn May secretly hoped that her
own wns much better than Bho fonred
ft was.
Not far beyond tho schoolhouse
Prlnco began to growl, and tho hairs
stiffened on his neck.
'Whatever Is tho matter with you,
Prlnco?" demanded Cnrolyn Mny.
In a moment sho saw tho causo of
tho dog's continued agitation. A
roughly dressed, bowhtskcrcd mnn nat
beside tho road eating a lunch out of a
newspaper. IIo leered at Carolyn May
and said:
"I guess you got a bad dog there,
nln't ye, llttlo girl?"
"Oh, no I no's us'nlly very polite,"
answered Carolyn May. "You must bo
still, Prlnco I You see," sho explained,
"ho doesn't llko folks to wear old
clothes. If If you had on your Sun
day t4i It, I'm qulto suro ho would not
growl at you."
"IIo wouldn't, heyl" Bald tho man
hoarsely, licking his fingers of tho last
crumbs of his lunch. "An' suppose a
feller nln't got no Sunday suit?"
"Why then, I s'poso Prlnco wouldn't
ever let you como Into our yard If
ho was loose."
"Don't let him looso now, little girl,"
Bald tho follow, getting up hurriedly
nnd eyeing the nngry dog askance.
"Oh, no, sir. Wo're going visiting
up tho rond. Como away, Prince. I
won't let him touch you," sho assured
tho man.
Tho latter seemed rather doubtful
of her ability to hold tho dog long, and
ho hobbled away towards tho school
house. '
Carolyn May had a very pleasant
call Freda's mother oven npproved of
Prince and It was an hour before tho
two started for home. In sight of tho
school house Prlnco gave evidence
again of excitement
"I wonder what Is the matter with
you now," Carolyn May began, when
suddenly sho sighted what had evi
dently so disturbed the dog.
A man was crouching under one of
the schoolhouso windows, bobbing up
now and then to peer In. It was tho
mnn whom they hnd previously seen
beside tho road.
"Ilush, Prlnco!" whispered llttlo
Carolyn May, holding tho dog by tha
collar.
She, too, could see through tho open
window. Miss Mlnnlo wns still nt her
desk. Sho had finished correcting tho
pupils' papers. Now sho had her bag
open nnd was counting tho money Mr.
Brady hud given her.
"O-o-ohl" breathed Carolyn May,
clinging to tho eager dog's collnv.
The mnn nt tho window suddenly
left his position and slipped around to
tho door. Iu a moment ho appeared In
tho schoolroom beforo tho startled
teacher.
Miss Mlnnlo screamed. Tho mnn,
with a rough threat, darted forward
to seize her purse.
Just then Carolyn Mny unsnapped
tho leash from Prince's collar and let
him go.
"Save Miss Minnie, Prlncoy!" she
cried nfter tho charging dog.
Prince did not trouble about tho
door. Tho open window, through
which the tramp had Bplcd upon tho
schoolmistress, was nearer. IIo went
up the wall and scrambled over tho
sill with n savngo determination that
left no doubt whatever in tho trarap'3
mind.
With a yell of terror tho fellow
bounded out of the door and toro
along tho rond and through Tho Cor
ncrs nt n speed never beforo equaled
In thnt locality by n knight of tho rond.
Prlnco lost n llttlo time In recovering;
his footing and again getting on tho
trail of tho fleeing tramp. But ho was
soon bnylng the fellow past tle black
smith shop and the store.
Tho Incident called tho entire popu
lation of Tho Comers, save tho bed
ridden, to tho windows nnd doors. For
onco tho little, somnolent village
awoke.

he Is a very important character

SPANISH INFLUENZAWHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED
Nothing New Simply tho Old Grip or La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1889-90, Only Then It Came
From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
Go to Bed and Stay Quiet
Take a Laxative Eat Plenty
of Nourishing Food Keep
Up your Strength Na
ture Is the Only "Cure"
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish Influenza, which appeared In
Spnln In Mny, has all the appearances
of grip, or la grippe, which hns swept
over the world In numerous epidemics
rs far back as history runs. Hippoc
rates refers to an epidemic In 412
B. C, which Is regnrded by many to
hnvo been Influenza. Every century
hns had Its attacks. Beginning with
1831 this country hns hnd Ave epidem
ics, tho last In 1889-00.
There Is no occasion for panic Influ
enza Itself has n very low percentage
of fatalities not over ono denth out
of every 400 cases, according to tho
N. C. board of health. The chief danger
lies In complications arising, attack
ing principally patients In n run-down
condition those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
enrly.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or Influenzn, ns It Is now called,
usually begins with a chill, followed by
aching, feverlshness, nnd sometimes
nnusea and dizziness, nnd n general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 104,
nnd the fever usually lasts from three
to five dnys. The germs attack tho
mucous membrane or lining of tho nlr
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there Is usually a hard cough,
especially bad nt night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances of a severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to nVold
spreading the disease to others take
a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, rcmnln perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, nsplrln or Dover's
Powders, etc., mny be administered by
the physician's directions to relieve tho
aching. But thero Is no euro or spe
cific for Influenza the disease must
run Its course. Nnture herself will
throw off the attack If only you keep
up your strength. Tho chief danger
lies in tho complications which mny
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that thero is dnnger of pneu
monia or bronchitis developing, nnd
sometimes inflammation of tho middle
ear, or heart affections. For theso rea
sons It Is very important tnnt tne
patient remain In bed until his strength
returns stny In bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If you arc over 50 or not strong stay
In bed four dnys or more, nccordlng to
the severity of the nttack.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stlmulnto the lining, ot
tho air passages to throw off tho grippe
germs, to aid In loosening the phlegm
and keeping the nlr passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, VIck's
Vapoltub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should bo applied over tho
throat, chest and back between tho
shoulder blades to open tho pores.
Then Vapoltub should be rubbed In
over the parts until tho skin Is red,
spread on thickly nnd cover with tw
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around tho node, as
tho heat of tho body liberates the In
gredients In the form of vapors.
These vapors, Inhaled with ench breath,
corry the medication directly to tho
parts nffected. At the snmo fime1
Vapoltub Is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, nttractlng tho
blood to the surface, and thus aids
In relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove thnt this Is
a germ disease, spread principally,
by human contact, chiefly through'
coughing, sneezing or spitting. S
nvold persons having colds which
means nvoldlng crowds commoa
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty of
exercise In the open nlr, and good food.
Above nil, nvold colds, as colds Irri
tate tho lining of tho nlr passages and
render them much better breeding;
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLOS
Use VIck's VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a
little Vapoltub In a spoon nnd Inltalo
tho vapors, or better still, use Vnpo
Rub In n benzoin steam kettle. If' this
Is not available, use an ordinarr tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiUng wa
ter, put In half a teaspoon of VnpoRnV
from time to time keep the kettle
Just slowly boiling land Inhale tho
steam nrlslng.
Note VIck's Vapoltub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, In enlv
form, Menthol nnd Camphor with such
volatile oils ns Eucalyptus, Thyme. Cu
bebs, etc., so that when the salvo Is ap
plied to tho body heat, these Ingredi
ents arc liberated In the form of va
pors. Vapoltub Is comparatively new In'
New York State and New England nnd
a few Western states where it Is Just
now being introduced, but In other sec
tions of the country It Is tho standard
home remedy In more than n million
homes for all form3 of cold troubles.
Over six million Jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can bo had In three
sizes nt all druggists. It Is particular
ly recommended for children's croup
and colds, since It Is externally applied
and therefore can bo used ns freely ns
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.
