ItsInco that first night she had knelt
at Aunty Hose's knee:
"Clod bless my papa and mamma
and bring them safe home."
The faith that moves mountains was
In that prayer.
Carolyn May slept the sleep of the
wearied If not of the carefree. The
noises of tho street did not disturb
her, not even tho passing of the fire
department trucks some tlmo after
midnight.
Nor did nearer sounds arouse her.
She had no knowledge of the fact
that a procession of A. D. T. boys
and messengers from the railroad com
pany came to ring the bell of tho
Price's apartment. Later the janitor's
family was aroused, but the little lame
boy thought It would be better for him
to say nothing about having seen Car
olyn May and of having given her the
keys.
So when In tho early morning a taxi
cab stopped at the street door and n
bushy-haired, troubled-looking man got
out and helped a woman clad In brown
to the sidewalk the Janitor had no
knowledge of tho fact that Carolyn
May and Prince were upstairs In the
apartment that hud been so long
empty.
"And tho Prices are away," said
Uncle Joe In a troubled voice. "What
do you think of that, Mandy?"
"Oh, Joe 1 where could the dear child
have gone?"
"I haven't seen her," declared tho
Janitor. "But I can let you into the
Hat. There's been lots of telegrams
to Mr. Price In the night and they
jvcrcn't all yours. You're Carolyn
May's uncle, ain't you?" he asked Mr.
Stagg.
Uncle Joe acknowledged tho rela
tionship. "Let's go upstairs," he said
to Amanda. "Now that I'm here "
"Oh, dear, Joel" almost wept Aman
da, "could anything have happened to
her In this big city?"
"'Most anything, I s'pose," growled
Joseph Stagg, following close on the
janitor's heels.

cd something that none of them ex
pected. A startling bark echoed in the
rooms which were supposed to ho
empty.
"Whatever Is that?" gasped the jan
itor. "It's Prince 1 It's her dog !" shouted
Uncle Joe.
"Tho child Is here!" cried Amanda
Parlow, and she was the first to enter
the apartment.
Prince bounded wildly to meet her.
lie leaped and barked. A cry sounded
from a room beyond. Miss Amanda
and Uncle Joe rushed In.
Sleepily, her face flushed, rubbing
her blue eyes wide open, Carolyn May
sat up In bed.
"Oh, Uncle Joe! Oh, Miss Amanda!"
she said. "I I wus Just dreaming my
own papa nnd mammu had come homo
and found me bore."
"My dear! My dear!" sobbed Aman
da Parlow, dropping to her knees be
side the bed.
"You're a great young one!" growled
Uncle Joe, blowing his nose suspi
ciously. "You've nigh about scared
ev'ybody to death. Your Aunty Itose
1b almost crazy."
"Oh I'm sorry," stammered Caro
lyn May. "Rut you see Uncle
Joe! You and Miss Amanda are go
ing to bo happy now. Aunty Hose says
'two Is comp'ny.' So you wouldn't
have room for me."
"Uless me!" tfusped the hardware
dealer. "What do vnn knmv nlinnt
this child's feeling that way, Mandy?"
"i am niraiu wo havo been selfish,
Joe," the woman said, sighing. "And
that is something that Carolyn May
has never been In her life!"
"I dunno I dunno," said Undo Joo
ruefully and looking at the little,
flowcr-llko face ot tho child, "now
about Aunty Rose? How d'you s'poso
she feels about Hannah's Cur'lyn run
ning away?"
"Oh!" ejaculated tho little girl.
"It may ho that 'two'n company and
three'ti a crowd,' lout you and Aunty
Koso would bo two likewise, wouldn't
you, Car'lyo MayS"

"I I never thought of that, UncU
Joe," the child whispered.
"Why, your running away from Tho
Corners this way Is like to make both
Mandy nnd mo unhappy, ns well as
Aunty Rose. I I don't b'llcvo Mandy
could get married at all If sho didn't
have a little girl like you to carry
flowers nnd hold up her train. How
about it, Mandy?"
"That Is quite true, Carolyn May,"
declared Miss Amanda, hugging tho
soft little body of tho child tightly
again.
"Why, I I"
Carolyn May was for once beyond
verbal expression. Besides there was
a noise in tho outer hall nnd on the
,stairway. The door had been left
open by the surprised janitor.
A burst of voices camo Into the
apartment. Uncle .Toe turned wonder
lngly. Miss Amanda stood up. Car
olyn May flew out of bed with a shriek
that startled them both.
"My papa! My mamma! I hear
them! They're not drownd-ed! God
didn't let 'em be lost in tho sen!"
Sho was out of the room In 'her
nightgown, pattering in bare feet over
tho floor. A brown man, with a beard
and twinkling blue eyes, caught her
up In his strong arms and hugged her
swiftly safely to his breast
"Snuggy!" he said chokingly. "Pa
pa's Snuggy!"
"My baby! My baby!" cried the
woman at whom Joseph Stagg was
staring ns though ho believed her tn
bo tho ghost of his lost sister Han
nah.
It was several hours later beforo
a really sane thing was said or a sane
tiling done in that little narlem flat.
"It's like a lovely falrv storv 1" cried
Carolyn May. "Only it's better than a
lairy story it's reall"
"Yes, yes, It's real, thank God!"
murmured tho happy mother.
"And I'm never going away from my
little girl again," ndde'd the father,
kissing her for at least the tenth time.
"But what Aunty Rose Is going tn
do I don't see," said Uncle Joe, shak
ing his head with real commiseration.
"I've sent her a dispatch saying that
tho child Is safe. But If we go back
without Hannah's Car'lyn "
"Tho poor soul !" said his sister. "I
can believe that In her secret, subdued
way Aunty Hose Kennedy Is entirely
wrapped up In Carolyn May. She will
suffer If they are separated for long
and so abruptly."
"That's true," Miss Amanda said
gently. "And Joo will feel It, too."
"I hot I will," agreed Joseph Stagg.
"But I havo you, Mandy. Aunty Roso
Isn't going to have anybody. And for
her to go back alono into her old houso
for she won't stny with us, of
course" he shook his head dolefully
"Let us write to Aunty Rose," salci
nannah Cameron briskly. "We want
her here. Why, of course we do I
Don't we, Carolyn May?"
"Why!" cried the child delightedly,
"that's Just tlie viiy out of Ft, Isn't it?
My! how nice things do come about
!? V1'?. yy?hli i"'t they? Aunty Rose
shall conie here. You'll like her evet
so much, papa. And Prince will be
glad to havo her come, for she always
has treated Prlncey real well."
Prince, who had been standing by
with his ears cocked, yawned, whined
an 1 lay down with a sigh, as though
considering the matter quite satisfac
torily settled.
Carolyn May, having climbed up Into
her father's arms, reached out and
drew her mother close beside her.
THE END.
MADE OCCASION FOR FESTIVAL
Travelers In Northern Russia Fittingly
Celebrate the Crossing of the
Arctic Circle.
On tho trains running northward
across north Russia, the crossing ol
the arctic circle Is made the occasion
for a festival similar to that which
tourists used to enjoy on shipboard
when crossing the equator. The trulo
makes a stop of several hours In tin
midst of a snow-covered waste on th
shores of the White sea. The passen
gers stretch their legs nnd talte a con
stitutional out over tho frozen surfacs
of tho White sea, while a picnic din
ner Is being prepared.
The exact spot where the railroad
crosses the circle Is probably not de
termined with scientific accuracy, but
the men who built the railroad appar
ently agreed on an approximate loca
tion, and this is marked with a suit
able inscription. At this point also
the railroad builders have left a slight
gap, probably uot more than a quarter
of an Inch, between the rails, so that
as passengers often notice, "when the
train passes over tho circle there is o
distinct Jolt and Jar."

The Effects of Opiates.
THAT INFANTS aro peculiarly ousceptiblo to opium and Its various
preparations, all of which aro narcotic, is well known. Even in tho
smallest doses, if continued, tlieso opiates causo changes in tho func
tions nnd growth of tho colls which oro likely to bocomo permanent, causing
imbecility, mental pervorsion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life.
Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying
powers aro a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet
In their infancy. Tho rulo among physicians is that children should never
receivo opiates in tho smallest doses for moro than a day at a time, and
only then if unavoidable.
Tho administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and
other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot bo too strongly
decried, and tho druggist should not be a party to it. Children who aro ill
need tho attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to
doso them willfully with narcotics.
