You'd better meet Aunty Iloso first

"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

wecp and bucket, half n hundred

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.

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

; 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

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

"Oh, Aunty Rocol" gasped tho Httlo
girl, her hober face all a-smllc. "He'll

Sho carried tho pnn out to Prince.

said gloomily.

"Huh? Ohl I guess 'twould cause

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

Just n great big bag of feathers!
"Just llko 11 big, big pillow," thought
the little girl. "And If I do get Into
