They ventured along tliclr Mock.
iTho children nil seemed strange- to
(Carolyn May. But people move so fro.
qucntly In Harlem that tills was not
,nt all quoer. Sho hoped to sec Kdnn
or some other llttlo lrl with whom sho
lind roup to school. Hut not until she
reached the very house Itself did any
body hall her.
"Oh, Carolyn May I Is that you?"
A lame hoy was looking through the
.Iron fence of the nreaway. Ho was
the janitor's son.
"Oh. Johnny I I'm real glad to see
youl" cried the little girl. Then she
nTdod more slowly. "Wo we've como
home again me and l'rlnce."
"You've growed a lot, Carolyn May,"
Raid the hoy. "My pop and mom's
nwny."
"I'll go up Into Kdna's Hat, then."
the weary little girl sighed.
"The Prices have gone nwny, too.
.They won't be hack till tomorrow
sometime."
"Oh!" murmured Carolyn May.
"Hut, say, I can get the keys to your
flat. The water's turned on, too. Every
thing's all right up there, for Mrs.
frlco she sweeps nnd dusts It all every
kmcc lii n while. Shall I get tho keys?"
"Oh. If you will, plcnbol" returned
the relieved chllil.
The hoy hobbled away, but soon ro
jturned with the outer-door key nnd
,tho key to tho apartment Itself. Car
olyn May took them nnd thanked him.
Then she gladly went In and climbed
tho two lllghts to their iloor.
She Raw nobody nnd easily let her
self Into the flat. It had been recently
nlred nnd dusted. Every piece of fur
nlturo stood Justus sho remembered It.
"Oh, Prlncey, It's homo I" she wills-
Sored. "This Is our reaT.Yrenl home!

Prince perhaps ngrifcd, but ho was
Koo deeply Interested In snufllng nt tho
jpackago of meat scraps sho hnd pur
chased for his supper to reply.
"Well, well, Prince." bIio said, "you
shall have It nt once."
' Dropping tho bag In tho private hall,
jfiho went Into the kitchen nnd stood
jon tiptoo to open the door of tho closet
above tho dresser. Securing n plate,
nhe emptied tho contents of the paper
into It nnd set the pinto down on tho
floor. '
In sprendlng out tho paper sho saw
norno big-typo headlines on the front

Carolyn May read no further. It
'did not particularly Interest the little
igirl. Besides, she was very tired
itoo tired to think of her own supper.
Iliad sho read on, however, oven her
,Blmplo mind might havo been startled
tby tho following paragraphs printed
below tho heading of thla startling
story :
Tholr wonderful (rood fortune In encan-

which was caught between tho Bunflro of
a FYench battloahlp and two of a. Tur

the chanco which followed. Naturally,
aa a Journalist himself, Mr. Cnmerou Is
prepared to toll tho dotalls of his ro-

tho lleacon at a later date.
' Tho boat In which they loft tho slnlt

limit was carried by tho current far to
tho Bouth. In fact, thoy woro enveloped
by fOR until thoy landed upon a stretch
of desertod beach.
Thero was no town near, nor even nn
encampment of Arabs. Hut t.oon after
their disembarkation nnd before tho of
(Icor In command could tal:o inoanH to
cotntnunlcuto with any civilized, or uoml
crvlllzed, placo a party of mounted and
larmod tribesmen swooped down on the
castaways.
These pcoplo, bolnc Mohammedans, and
ihavlnc neon tho Imttlo tho day boforo
between the French and tho Turks, con
sidered tho cantaways enemies and swept
them away with them into tho desert to
a certain oasis, wliore for nearly eiRiu
months Mr. John Lewis Cameron and hla
wife and tho othor refugeus from tho

Thero was more of the wonderful
fltory, but tho elccpy llttlo girl had
given It no attention whatsoever.
Prlnco had eaten nnd lain down In his
familiar corner. Tho llttlo girl lind

.delightful to havo a real tub Instead
of tho galvaulzed bucket they used at

She put on her nightgown nt Inst,
knelt and said her prayer, including
that petition sho had never left out of
Itslnce that first night she had knelt
at Aunty Hose's knee:
"God bless my papa nnd mutnmn
and bring them snfo home."
Tho faith that moves mountains was
In Hint prayer.
Carolyn May slept tho sleep of the
wearied If not of tho carefree. The
noises of tho street did not dlsttnh
her, not even the passing of tho ilrc
depnrtment trucks some time ufter
midnight.
Nor did nenrer sounds arouse her.
She had no knowledge of tho fact
that n procession of A. I). T. hoys
and messengers from the rnllroad'coin
pany came to ring the hell of the
Price's apartment. Later the Jnnltor's
family was nroused, hut the little lamo
boy thought It would he hotter for him
to say nothing about having seen Car
olyn May and of having given her the
keys.
So when In the early morning n taxi;
cab stopped at tho street 'door and a
bushy-haired, troubled-looking man got
out and helped a womnn clad In brown
to the sldcwulk the Janitor had no
knowledge of the fact that Carolyn
May and Prince were upstairs In the
apartment that had been so long
empty.
"And tho Prices nro nway," s,ald
Undo Joe In u troubled voice. "What
do you think of that, Mandy?"
"Oh, Joe ! where could the dear child
have gone?"
"I haven't seen her," declared tho
Janitor. "But I, can let you Into tho
flat. There's been lots of telegrams
to Mr. Price In tho night and they
weren't nil yours. You're Carolyn
May's uncle, nln't you?" ho asked Mr.
Stagg.
Undo Joo acknowledged the rela
tionship. "Let's go upstairs," ho said
to Amanda. "Now that I'm here "
"Oh, dear, Joo I" almost wept Aman

"Whatever Is that?" gasped the Jan

Uncle Joe.
"Tho child Is hcrel" cried Amnndn
Pnrlow, and sho was tho first to enter
tho apartment.
Prlnco hounded wildly to meet her.
Hu leaped and barked. A cry sounded
from a room beyond. Miss Amanda
and Undo Joo rushed in.
Sleepily, her face Hushed, rubbing
her bluo eyes wide open, Carolyn May
sat up In bed.
"Oh, Undo Joe! Oh, Miss Amnndn!"
sho said. "I I was Just dreaming my
own papa and mninnm had como homo
and found mo hero."
"My dear! My dearl" sobbed Aman

"You're a great young one!" growled
Undo Joe, blowing his noso suspi

"I am ufraid wo havo been Hellish,
Joe," tho woman said, sighing. "And
that Is something that Carolyn May
has never been In her llfo 1"

"That Is finite true. Carolyn Mny,"
declared Miss Amnndn, hugging tho
soft llttlo body of the child tightly
again.
"Why, I I"
Carolyn May was for once beyond
verbal expression. Hesldes there was
a noise In the outer hall and on tho
stairway. The door had been left
open by tho surprlse'd janitor.
A burst of voices came Into the
apartment. Undo Joe turned wonder
Ingly. Miss Amanda stood up. Car

that startled them both.

woman nt whom Joseph Stngg was

"It's like n lovely fairy story 1" cried
Carolyn May. "Only it's better than a
fairy story It's real!"
"Yes, yes, It's real, thank Godl"
murmured tho happy mother.
"And I'm never going nway from my
little girl again," added tho father,
kissing her for nt least tho tenth time.
"Hut what Aunty Itoso Is going te

THE END.
MADE OCCASION FOR FESTIVAL
Travelers In Northern Russia Fittingly
Celebrate the Crossing of tho
Arctic Circle.
On tho trains running northward
across north Itussln, tho crossing of
the nrctic clrclo Is nindo the occasion
for n festival similar to that which
tourists used ro enjoy on shipboard
when crossing tho equator. The train
makes a stop of several hours In tho
midst of a snow-covered waste on tho
shores ot the White sea. The passen
gers stretch their legs and take u con
stitutional out over tho frozen surface
of tho White sea, whllo it picnic, din
ner Is being prepared.
The exact Kpot whero tho railroad
crosses tho clrclo Is probably not de
termined with scientific nccuruey. hut
the men who built the railroad appar
ently agreed on an approximate loca
tion, and tills Is marked with a suit
able Inscription. At this point also
the railroad builders hnvo left n slight
gap, probably not moro than u quarter
of nn inch, between tho rails, so that,
as passengers often notice, "when the
train passes over tho clrclo thero Is u
distinct jolt and Jar."
Tho Whlppoorwlll.
Tho favorite hunting ground of tho
whlppoorwlll Is about tho edges of n
forest, or over the tops of tho trees,
whero tho big, fat moths nro to bo
found at night. It makes no nolso na

sometimes it utters n sort of groan.

Iilin to time. The Israelites go out on i
their u:i. to the promised hind with a ,
high hand. Through the laud of the '
Philistines tin; Jouiuey would have
tieen coinparathely short; hut Cod com- !
mauded Ihem to turn from that way i
lest going through the hind of thu
I'hlllsilni'.s they see war anil desire to
turn buck to Kg.xpt. The Lord had re- i
H'ect for their needs, "lie knoweth .
our frame, he rememhreth that we me
dust." (Psalms KKUM). He suits our ,
trials to our ability to meet them. I
The Lord went hefote them In a
pillar of cloud by il'iy and a pillar of
lire by night. He not only thus iudl- l
cated unto them the right path, hut
walked with them In it. Cod docs not
deliver anil then leave us alone, but
becomes our companion. At the Lord's
direction they turned from their llrst
course and were made to fucu a seem
ing dllllculty. The Hod sea was before
them, and mountains on either side.
The stricken Kgyptlnns hud recovered
from their sorrow and now suw thu
Israelites in a situation from which
they could not extricate themselves.
They Interpreted this to mean that
Moses was unable to lead them out of
their dllllcumy; therefore, they went
In pursuit, hoping et to prevent them
from going out of thu country.
I. The Miraculous Escape of the
Israelites (14 iKKil!).
They were In a straitened condition
but had no reason to fear, for the
Lord had led them there. It Is safe
to be where the Lord leads, though
every avenue is closed against us.
There seems to be a two-fold object in
leading them Into this peculiar place:
to strengthen the faith of the people
und to lay a snare for the overthrow
of the Egyptians. The people, as usual,
displayed their unbelief and even ceu
mired Moses for leading them out of
Egypt. Moses replied to their mur
murs by saying, "Hear ye not, stand
still nnd see the salvation of thu
Lord." Standing still In such a trial
Is faith taking hold on Cod's prom
ises. Tills is hard for the natural '
man to do. Before the salvation of
the Lord can ever be seen or experi
enced we must come thus to htm.
Whllo reposing our confidence In thu
Lord, there comes u time when we
must make our faith ncthe. God said,
"Wherefore erlest thou unto me? f
Speak unto thu children of Israel that ,
they go forward." Having had his
definite promise, to have pra.sed long
er would havo been unbelief. The thing
to be done then was to step out '
upon his eternal promise. Tho lifting
up of the rod simply served as some- t
thing tangible upon which tholr faith
could act. They were to go forward a
step at a time, without raising mi !
question us to the outcome; for from '
the same source from which came thu
command, came thu power to obey.
The presence of the Lord was adapted
to their needs as they went forward.
As they went forward thu very thing
which seemed their destruction be- .
came a wall of protection on either
side.
II. The Overthrow of the Egyptlani
(211 :27). ,
Having seen thu Israelites go across
dry-shod, Pharaoh and his hosts mud- ,
ly pursued thum. They insimelj
i thought that they In tholr unbelief
could follow In the wake of God's ehll- i
1 dron. Thu ery things which are a'
! wall ami defense to thu faithful bu
i come a snare and a means of destruc
tion to the enemies of Ciod's peoph
The Lord looked foilh from thu cloud
and wrought coiififsinu among thu
Egyptians. There Is a day coining
when a look from the Almighty will ,
cause a much greater consternation
among tho wicked ( devolution (1:10,
i 17; 20:11-1:1). He not only looked
upon them but took off their chariot
whirls, which caused them to realize
1 that Coil was lighting against tlieiu. ,
Ho then directed Moses to stretch
forth his rod and bring destruction
upon the Egyptians. So complete was ,
thu overthrow that it Is said that not .
one escaped.
III. The Sono of Triumph (15:1-21).
Standing on the other shore of the
Hed sea, they could fittingly sing the
song of triumph, becnuso of tho mirac
ulous deliverance and tho overwhelm

PROPER CARE OF THE SICK
Nurse's Duties Arc Onerous, but The
Must Be Recognized as Highly
Necessary.
It Is Important Miat tho mothet or
nurse attending n child with u con
tagious disease should taker a long
walk In the fresh nlr every day. The
best way for her to arratigo this Is
to keep n change of clothing In the
room next to the sick room. Sh
should also bathe before leaving the
house or In fact before she comes In
contnet with anyone. If a bathroom
has been set nslde for quarantine, sho
should use this; If not, a screen and a
bnsln must answer. She can then slip
Into the next room and change her
clothing.
She should lenvo tho house by the
back way, or, at any rAt avoid com
ing In contact with any of the occu
pants .of the house. Once on the
street she should not use the street
cars nor enter another house nnd, If
possible, should avoid touching any
one. Tho fumigation of a sick room
after a contagious illness is dono by
tho board of health upon request ol
the family physician. IX'chnnge.
