STAGG'S HOUSEKEEPER Synopsis. Ilcr father and mother reported lost nt sen when the Dunravcn, on which they had Balled for Europe, was sunk, Curolya May Cameron Hannah's Carolyn Is sent from New York to her bachelor uncle, Joseph Stngg at Tho Corners. Tho reception given her by her undo Is not very cnthusliiHtlc. CHAPTER I Continued. 2 A volco cnlllng, "Chuck I Chuck I (Chuck-a-ctiuck !" ennio from behind tho old house. A few white-feathered .fowls that had been In sight scurried wildly nway In answer to tho sum jnotiM. Mr. Stag?, still looking nt the IttUo 'girl, Ret down the bng and reached for tho dog's lensh. The loop of the latter he passed nround the gatepost ul tell you what It Is, Car'lyn May. You'd better meet Aunty Iloso first srtono, Tvo my fears about this mon grel." "Oh, Undo Joe I" quivered hla niece. "You go ahead and got acquainted with her, urged Mr. Stagg. "She don't like dogs. They chase her chickens and run over her llpwer beds. Aunty Iloso Is peculiar, I might sny." "Oh, Undo Joe I" repented the little girl faintly. "You've got to make her like you, If you want to llvo here," tho hardware dealer concluded firmly. IIo gave Carolyn May a llttlo shove up tho path and then stood back and mopped his brow with his handker chief. Prince strained at tho lensh nnd whined, wishing to follow his little mistress. Mr. Stagg said: "You'd better keep mighty quiet, dog. If you want your homo address to be The Corners, sing small 1" Carolyn May did not hear this, but disappeared after the fowls around the corner of the wide, vine-draped porch. The pleasant back yard was tall of sunshine. On the gravel path beyond tho old well, with Its long wecp and bucket, half n hundred uHkAciio, duiuc ftuiucuo uuu u uuun vl turkeys scuffled for grain which was being thrown to them from an open pan. That pan was held in the plump hand of a very dlgnlficd-looklng wom an, dressed in drab and with a sun bonnet on her head. Aunty Rose's appearance smote the llttlo girl with a feeling of nwc. Thero was no frown on her fnce; It was only calm, unruffled, unemo tional. It simply seemed as though nothing, either material or spiritual, could ruffle tho placidity of Aunty Rose Kennedy. Sho came of Quaker stock nnd the serenity of body nnd spirit taught by the sect built a wall between her and everybody else. "Child, who nro you?" asked Aunty Iloso with soruo curiosity. The) little girl told her name; but perhaps It was her black frock and bat that Identified her In Aunty Rose's mind, after all. You are Hannah Stagg's little gtrl," he said. "Yea'm If yon please," Carolyn May confessed faintly. "And how came you here alone?" "If you please, Unde Joo said Td btter prob'ly come ahead and got ac quainted with you first" " 'First r What do you mean, 'first?' " asked Aunty Roso sternly. "First beforo you saw Prince," re sponded tho perfectly frank llttlo girl. "Undo Joe thought maybo you wouldn't care for dogs." 1 "Dogs I" ' "No, ma'am. And of course where I llvo Prince has to llvo too. So " "So you brought your dog?" I "Yes, ma'nin." ' "Of course," snld Aunty Roso com posedly, "I expected you to como here. I do not know what Joseph Stagg ex pected. Rut I did not suppose you would have a dog. Where Is Joseph Btagg?" "IIo he's coming." "With tho dog?" "Yes, ma'am." Aunty Rose seemed to take some time to digest this; but sho made no further comment In regard to tho mat ter, only saying: "Let us go Into tho house, Car'lyn May. You must take off your hat and bnthe your fnco nnd hands." Carolyn May Cameron followed the stntely llguro of Aunty Roso Kc nnedy into tho bluo-and-whlte Kitchen of tho old house, villi something of tho feel ing of a culprit on tho way to tho block. Such n big kitchen as it was I The llttlo girl thought it must bo almost as big ns their wholo apartment in Ilarleui "put tootht r." Tho Httlo girl titt off her plain black hut, shook back her hair and patted It smooth with her hands, then plunged her hands ivnl face into the basin of cool water Aunty Rose had drswn fur her tit the blnlc. Tho dust was ull washed uwny nnd a fresh glow came Into her floworllko face. Aunty Itosc watched her silently. Such n dignified, upright, unrespon sive womnn ns she seemed standing there I And so particular, neut nnd Immnculatc was this kitchen I Carolyn May, ns she dried her face and hands, heard a familiar whine at the door. It was Prince. She won dered If sho had at ull broken the ice for him with Aunty Rose. "Oh," tho little girl mused, "I won der what she will say to a mongorel." ; CHAPTER II. Going to Bed. Mr. Stngg had fastened Prince's strap to tho porch rail and ho now came In wlWi the bag. "Is that all the child's baggage, Jo seph Stagg?" asked Aunty Rose, tak ing It from his hand. "Why why, I never thought to nsk her," tho man admitted. "Have you a trunk check, Car'lyn?" "No, sir." "They sent you up here with only that bag?" Mr. Stagg said with some exasperation. "Haven't you got any clothes but those you 6tnnd In?" "Mrs. Price said said they weren't suitable," explained tho llttlo girl. "You see, they aren't black." "Ohl" exploded her uncle. "You greatly lack tact, Joseph Stagg," said Aunty Rose, and the hardware-' dealer cleared his throat loudly as ho went to the sink to perform his "Child, Who Are You?" Asked Aunty Rose With Some Curiosity. pre-supper ablutions. Carolyn May did not understand just what the woman meant "Ahem!" said Uncle Joe gruffly. "S'poso I ought t've rend that letter before. What's como of It, Car'lyn May?" Rut Just then the llttlo girl uus so deeply Interested In what Aunty Rose was doing that sho failed to hear him. Mrs. Kennedy brought out of the pan try a tin pio plate, on which were scraps of meat und bread, be.sl.les a goodly marrow bone. "If you think tho dog Is hungry, Car'lyn Mny," sho rmld, "you would better glvo him this before we break our fast." "Oh, Aunty Rocol" gasped tho Httlo girl, her hober face all a-smllc. "He'll be do-llght-cd." Sho carried tho pnn out to Prince. When tho door closed again, Mrs. Kennedy went to tho stovo und In stnntly, with tho opening of the oven, tho rush of delicious odor from It mndo Carolyn May's mouth fulrly water. Such flaky biscuit two groat pans full of tho brown beauties! Mr. Stagg sat down at tho tablo and n iimlly smiled. Tho little girl took her in .icatcd place at tho tablo timidly. "Joseph Stagg," bald Auntv Rose, sitting down, "ask 11 blessing." Undo Joe's harsh volco seen a sud denly to hcconio gentlo as In rever ently snld grace. Mr. Stagg was In hncto to 1 it nnd got lnuk to the store. "Or tint Chet Oorinley will try to make n iim al oil' some of tho hardware, I gue ," he said gloomily. "Oh, dear mo, Undo Joel" ex lalmed Carol.u May.' "If ho did that, he'd die of indignation." "Huh? Ohl I guess 'twould cause Indigestion," agreed her uncle. 3ifil Wr - jfiffi" Aunty Rose did not even smile. "Dlws me!" Mr. Stfcgtf exelnlmed suddenly. "Whnt's that on tho mantel. Aunty Rose? Thnl ynllor letter?" "A telegram for you, Joseph Stagg," replied tho old lady composedly. "Weill" muttered the hardware denier, and Carolyn Mny wondered If ho were not afraid to express Just tho emotion ho felt nt that Instant. Ills fnco was red and he got up clumsily to secure the sealed message. "Who brought It, and when?" ho asked finally, lmvlng rend tho law yer'a night letter. "A boy. This morning," said Aunty Rose, utterly calm. "And I never saw It this noon," grumbled the hardware dealer. Mrs. Kennedy quite Ignored any suggestion of Imputience in Mr. Stagg's ' volco or manner. Rut he seemed to lose taste for his supper after reading the telegram. " "Where Is the letter thnt this Mr. Price wrote and 'sent by you, Car'- lyn?" he risked ns he was about to depart for the store. 1 The Httlo girl asked permission to 1 lcavo the table nnd then ran to open her bug. Mr. Stngg said doubtfully: "I H'posc you'll huve to put her some where for the present. Don't seo what else we can do, Aunty Rose." 1 "You may be sure, Joseph Stugg, that her room was ready for her a week ago," Mrs. Kennedy rejoined, quite unruffled. The surprised hardware dealer ' gurgled something In his throat "What room?" ho flnnlly stammered, j "That which wns her mother's, Hnn- ' null Stagg's room. It Is next to mine ' nnd she will come to no harm there." 1 "Hunnah'sl" exclaimed Mr. Stugg. "Why, that ain't been slept In since ' she went away." ' "It Is quite fit, then," snld Aunty Rose, "thnt It should bo used for her child. Trouble nothing about things that do not concern you, Joseph Stngg," she ndded with, perhaps, addi tional sternness. Carolyn May did not hear this. She now produced the letter from her law yer. I "There It Is, Uncle Joe," sho snld. , "I I guess he tells you ull about rue In It." "Hum!" snld the hardware man, j clearing his throat and picking up hla hat. "I'll read it down at the store." "Shall shall I see you again to night, Uncle Joe?" the little girl asked wistfully. "You know, my bedtime's half-past eight." "Well, If you don't see me tonight ngaln, you'll he well cared for, I haven't a doubt," suld Uncle Joe short- , ly, and went out. 1 Carolyn May went soberly back to her chair. She did not eat much more. Somehow there seemed to be u big lump in her throat past which she I could not force the food. As" the dusk . fell, the spirit of loneliness gripped ' her nnd the tears pooled behind her eyelids, rendy to pour over her checks at the least "Joggle." Yet she was not usually a "cry-baby" girl. Aunty Rose wns watching her more closely than Carolyn May supposed. After her third cup of ten she arose and began quietly clearing the tuble. Tho newcomer was nodding In her place, her blue eyes clouded with sleep and unhapplncss. "It Is time for you to go to bed, Car'lyn Mny," said Aunty Rose firmly. "I will show you the room Ilnnunh j Stagg had for her own when she wns a girl." ! "Thank you, Aunty Rose," suld the little girl humbly. She picked up the bng and followed the stalely old womnn into the buck hall and up the stairway into the ell. Carolyn May snw that at the foot of the stairs was a door leading out upon the porch where Prince was now mov ing about uneasily ut the end of his leash. She would have liked to say "good night" to Prince, but it soemed better not to mention this feeling to Aunty Rose. The fudlng hues of sunset In the sky gave the little girl plenty of light to undress by. She thought the room I very beautiful, too. j "Do you need nny help, child?" 1 asked Mrs. Kennedy, standing In her I soldierly manner In the doorway. It j was dusky there and the llttlo girl I could not seo her face. ' "Oh, no, ma'am," said Carolyn May faintly. j "Very well," said Aunty Roso nnd . turned away. Carolyn May stood In I tho middle of the room and listened to her descending footsteps. Aunty Ro.e had not even bidden her good night! Llko a marooned snllor upon n des- ' ert Island tho llttlo girl went about exploring tho bedroom which was to bo hers nnd which had once been her mother's. That fuet helped greatly. ' Then sho looked at the high, puffy bed. "How ever cun I get Into It?" sighed Carolj n May. Sho had to stand upon her tiptoes In her Huffy little bedroom slippers to pull back the quilt and the blanket and sheet underneath it Tho bed was Just n great big bag of feathers! "Just llko 11 big, big pillow," thought the little girl. "And If I do get Into It I'm H'blc to sink down und down nnd down till I'm burled, nnd won't ever bo ublo to get up In tho morn- li'" Joceph Stagg Is filled with dis may when he learns from a law yer friend of hlo brother-in-law that Carolyn has been left pen niless and has been consigned to his care. His frame of mind docs not promise well for Caro. lyn's future hnpp'necs. (TO cu r:a,iNi3i:Lu You Can't Eat Meat 100 Miles Away Preparing meat is only a part of Swift & Company's usefulness. The finest meat in the wortd wouldn't do you any good one hundred miles away from your table. Swift & Company efficiency has made it possible to place complete lined of products in the smallest and most remote communities. To be sure the work is done well Swift & Company, through its branch houses and car routes, brings the meat to the retail dealer for you. Swift & Company lays out car routes covering towns big, little, medium size which are not served by a Swift branch house. Salesmen find out in advance what is wanted by the dealers in every town. They are followed by refrigerator cars loaded with retailers' orders, which are delivered at each town fresh, clean, and sweet once or twice each week. Swift & Company operates a large number of car routes like this, from four teen distributing plants. This is a necessary and natural part of the packers' usefulness. It fits ;nto the industry in an orderly, effective way. It makes better meat cheaper from one end of the land to the other. Swift & Company, U. S. A. Jerusalem to Gaza by Rail.
