Comething Carolyn May Wishes to
Know.
Carolyn May's heart was filled with
trouble.
This was the result of her first talk
with the (dd sailor. Not from him, nor
from ntgbodv else, did Carolyn May
get any direct Information that the
sailor had been abourd the Dunruven
on her fatal voyage. But bis story
awoke In the child's breast doubts and
longings, uncertainties and desires that
had lain dorinunt for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty ltose loved her
and wore kind to her. ltiit that feel-
ing of "emptiness" that bad at first so
troubled Carolyn May was returning.
She began to droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty ltose discovered tills physical
change very quickly.
"She's Just Hue a droopy chicken,"
declared the good woman, ''and, good-
ness knows, I have seen enough of
them."
So, as n stimulant and a preventive
of "drooplness," Aunty Hose prescribed
boneset tea, "plenty of It."
Three times it day Carolyn May was
d >d with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will never bo
known. Carolyn May got no better,
that was sure; but one day something
happened.
Winter bad moved on In Its usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
bad kept up all her Interests—ufter a
fashion.
Benjamin Hardy lind gone to Adams'
camp to work. It seemed he could use
a peevy, or canthook, pretty well, hav-
ing done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim, the hnckmnn, worked at
locking In tin* winter months, too. Ilo
usually went past the Stairir place with
a tenia four times each day.
There was som iliinix Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy, but
she did not want anybody else to know
what II was -not even Tilde Joe or
Aunty Hose. Once In the fall and bo-
fore the snow came she bad ridden as
far as Adams' camp with Mr. I'arlow.
He had gone there for some hickory
wood.
Hut, now, to ride on the empty sled
going In and on top of the load of lojjs
coming out of the forest, Carolyn May
felt sure, would be much more exciting.
She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
on a Friday evening.
"Well, now. If It's pleasant, 1 don't
see anything to forbid. I>o you. Aunty
Rose?" Mr. Stagg returned.
"I prosutn" Tim will take the best of
care of her," tb<> woman sa'd, "Mavbe,
getting out more In the air will make
her look le! s peaked, Joseph Stagg."
The excitement of preparing to go
to the camp the next mornlne brought
the rosea Into Carolyn May's cheeks
utid made her eyes sparkle. When
Tim, the haekman, went Into town
with his first load be v us forewarned
by Aunty Rose that he would have
company going back.
"Pitcher of (leorge Washington!" ex-
claimed Tim. "The boys will near 'bout
take a holiday."
There was but one woman In the
camp, Judy Mason. She lived In one
of the log huts with her husband. He
was a sawyer, and Judy did the men's
washing.
Benjamin Hardy was pleased, in-
deed, to see his little friend again.
"You come with me, [dense," she
whispered to the old seaman after dln-

tiously, for be remembered that he
was to be very circumspect In his con-
versation with her.
"I want you to tell me something,
Benjamin." she said.
"Sail ahead, matey," he responded
with apparent heartiness, filling his
pipe meanwhile,

"Hurts much?" gasped the old sea
man.
"Yes, sir. l>o people that get

ferln' way to die? I want to know,
Benjamin, 'cause my papa and mamma

choking a little. "It does seem as

"Comln' back from drowning Is a

"Well," sighed Carolyn May, "I'm
glad to know that. It's bothered me a
good ileal. If my mamma and papa
had tt) be dead, maybe that was tli.'
nicest way for them to go."
****** •
Since Joseph Stagg hud listened to
the rambling tale of the sailor regard-
ing the sinking of the Hunraven, In
had borne the fate of bis sister and
her husband much in mind.
He had come no nearer to deciding
what to do with the apartment in New
\ oi k and its itirnisliings.
After listening to Benjamin Hardy's
story, the hardware dealer felt loss in-
clined than before to close tip the af-
fairs tf Carolyn May's small "estate."
Not tliat he for a moment believed that
there was a possibility of Hannah and
her husband being alive. Five months
had passed. In these days of wireless
telegraph and fatit sea Iriiflie such a
thing could not lie possible. The imagi-
nation of tip1 practical hardware mer-
chant could not visualize it.
One day when Carolyn May was vis-
iting Mrs. (iormlcy ('hot burst in quite
unexpectedly, for it was not yet mid-
afternoon.
"Mr. Stagg has let me oT to take
Carolyn May slidin'. The Ice ain't
t.oln' to he safe In the cove for long
now. Spring's In the air o'ready. Both
brooks are runnln' full.'
Carolyn May was delighted. Al-
though the sky was overcast and a
siorm threatening when liey got down
on the ice, neither the boy nor the lit-
tle girl gave the weather a second
thought. Nor had Mr. Stagg consid-
ered the weather when he had allowed
diet to leave the store that afternoon.
diet strapped on bis skates, and
then cettied the little girl firmly on her
sled, with Prince riding behind.
The boy harnessed himself with the
long fowrope and skated away from
the shore, dragging the sled after him
at a brisk pace.
"Oh, my!" squealed Carolyn May,
"there Isn't anybody else on the ice."
"We won't run into nobody, then,"
laughed the boy.
It. was too misty outside the cove to
see the open water; hut it was there,
and Chef knew it as well as anybody,
lie had no Intention of taking any
risks—especially with Carolyn May in
his charge.
The wind blew out of the cove, too.
As they drew away from the shelter of
the land they felt Its strength.
Naturally, neither the boy nor the
little girl—and surely not the dog—
looked back toward the land. Other-
wise, they would have seen the snow
flurry that swept down over the town
and quickly hid It from the cove.
Cliet was skating Ills very swiftest.
Carolyn May was screaming with de-
light. I'rlnce barked Joyfully. And.
suddenly, in a startling fashion, they
came to a fissure In the ice!
The boy darted to one side, heeled
on his right skate, and stopped. He
had Jerked the sled aside, too, jelling
to Carolyn May to "bold fast!" But
Prince was Hung from it, and scram-
bled over the Ice, harking loudly.
"Oh, dear me!" cried dirulyn May.
"You stopped too quick, ' 'Ju t (Joriu-
ley. (loudness! There's a hole in the
Ice!"
"And 1 didn't see It till we was al-
most In it," acknowledged ('bet. "It's
inore'n a bole. Why! ib«*ro's a great
field of Ice broke olT ami sailin' out
Into the lake."
"Oh, my!" gasped the little g!rl.
The hoy knew at once that he must
be carelui in making bis way home
with the liltle girl. Having seen one
great fissure in the Ice, le- might come
upon another. It seemed to him as
though the Ice under h>s feet was In
■nation. In the distance was the sound
of a reverberating era' h that could
mean but one thing. The Ice In the
cove was breaking up!
The waters of the two brooks were
pouring dotvn into the co\e. Spring
had really come, and the annual freshet
was likely now to f«rce the Ice entirely
out of the cove and open the way for
traHie In a few hours.
It was always dark enough In the
little hack ofllce in winter for the iiard-
ware dealer to have a lamp burning. So
he did not notice the snow tlurry that
had taken Sunrise Cove In its arms
until he chanced to walk out to the
front of the store for needed exercise.
"I declare to man, it's snowing!"
muttered Joseph Slagg. "Thought we'd
got through with that for this season."
He opened the store door. There was
a chill, clammy wind, and the snow
| was damp and packed quickly under
foot.
"Hi.iii! If that diet Oormley were
here now, he might be of some use for
once," thought Mr. Stagg,
Suddenly he bethought him of the
errand that had taken the boy away
from the store.
"Hey, Slagg!" shouted II shopkeeper
from over I he way, who had likewise
come to the door, "did you bear that?"
"Hear what?" asked Joseph Stagg,
puzzled,
"There she goes again! That's ice,
old man. She's breaking up. We'll
have spring with us in no time now."
The reverberating crash that hod
startled diet Oormley had startled Jo-
seph Stagg as well,
"My goodness!" gasped the hard-
ware dealer, and he started Instantly
away from the store, bareheaded as lie
was, without locking the door behind
him—something he had never done be-
fore, since he had eslaldisheil 'ilmself
in business on the main street of Sun-
rise Cove.
Just why he ran he c-uld scarcely
have explained. Of course, the chil-
dren had not gone out in this snow-
storm! Mrs. Oormley -little sense as

coining storm in s< .ison to withdraw
his permission to diet to take Curo-

Just Once! Try Dodson's Liver Tone!
Take No Calomel! Listen To Me!
If bilious, constipated, headachy or sick, I guarantee
relief without taking dangerous calomel
which sickens and salivates.
Stop using calomel! It makes you
sick. Don't lose a day's work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or constl-
pated, listen to me!
Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when It comes Into contact
with sour bile, crashes Into It, break-
ing It up. This Is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are "all knocked out," If your liver Is
torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated ton-
gue, If breath Is had or stomach sour,
just try a spoonful of harmless Hod-
son's Liver Tone. #
Here's my guarantee—Oo to any

Liver Tone for a few c mts. Take a

straighten you right up and make yon
feel tine and vigorous by morning, I
want you to go back to the store anil
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel be-
cause It Is real liver medicine; entirely
vegetable, therefore It can not salivate
or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's I.lver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep the entire family
feeling flue for months. Give It to
your children. It Is harmless; doesn't
gripe and they like Its pleasant taste.

"Where's That Plagued Boy?"
he believed the seamstress possessed—
would not have allowed them to ven-
tlllT.
£et, why had diet not returned?
He quickened his pace. He was run-
ning slipping and sliding over the wot
snow—when he turned into tin; street
on which liis store boy and his wid-
owed mother lived.
Mrs. Oormley saw him coining from
the windows of the tiny front room.
Mr. Stagg plunged Into the IHtle
house, bead down ami belligerent.
"Where's that plagued boy?" he de-
manded. "Don't tell me he's taken
Hannah's Car'lyn out. on the cove In
this storm!"
"Hut you told him he could!"
walled the widow.
"What If I did? I didn't know 'twas
coing to snow like this, did I?"
"Itut it wasn't siiowin' when they
went," said Mrs. Oormley, plucking up
some little spirit. "I'm sure it wasn't
Clietwood's fault. Oh, dear!"
"Woman," groaned Joseph Stagg, "It
doesn't matter whose fault ii Is—or If
It's anybody's fault. The mischief's
done. The Ice is breaking up. it's
drifting out of the Inlet."
Just at this moment an unexpected
voice broke Into the discussion.
"Are you positive they \\"nt out on
ilie cove to slide, Mrs. Oormley?"
"oh, yes, I be. Mainly," answered
the seamstress. "Cliet said lie was
goln' there, and what Chct says he'll
do, he alw ays does."
"Then the Ice has broken away and
they have been carried out into the
lake." groaned Mr. Stagg.
Mandv I'arlow came quickly to the
little hall.
"Perhaps not, Joseph." she said,
speaking directly to the hardware deal-
er. "It may he the storm. It snow so
fast they would easily gel turner)
around—be unable to «.nd the shore."
Another reverberating crirsh echoed
from the cove. Mrs. Oormley wrung
her hands.
"Oh, mv diet! Oh. my Cliet!" she
walled. "He'll he drowned!"
"He won't he, if he's got any sense,"
snapped Mr. Stagg. "I'll get some men
ami we'll go after them."
"Call the (log, Joseph Stagg. Call flirt
dog," advised Miss Amanda.
"Hob? Didn't Prince go wlih 'em?"
"Oh. yes, he did," walled Mre (Jortn-
