He usually went past the Stagg place with a team four times each day. There was something Carolyn May mhed to ask Benjamin Hardy, but did not want anybody else to know what it wasâ€"not even Uncle Joe or Aunty Rose. Once in the fall and beâ€" fore the snow came she had ridden as far as Adams‘ camp with Mr. Parlow. , mow, to ride on the empty sled in and on top of the lond of logs g out of the forest, Carolyn May Rélt sure, would be much more exciting She mentioned her desire to Uncle Jo¢ on a Friday evening. | ‘:Wfal’lr,ir'l:)w. if it‘s pleasant, I don‘t wWee anything to forbid.

"Maybe, getting out more in the air will make her look less penrked, Joseph Stagg." ) The excitement of preparing to gn! to the camp the next morning brought the roses into Carolyn May‘s “"“““"& and made her eyes sparkle. When Tim, the hackman, went into town | with his first lond he was forewarned by Aunty Rose that he would have €ompany going back. | "Pitcher of George Washington !" exâ€" ‘Tim.

Since Joseph Stags had listened to the rambling tale of the sailor regardâ€" Ing the sinking of the Dunraven, he had borne the fate of his sister and her husband much in mind. He had come no nearer to deciding what to do with the apartment in New York and its furnishings. After listening to Renjamin Hardy‘s story, the hardware dealer felt less inâ€" clined thin before to close up the afâ€" fairs of Carolyn May‘s small "estate." Not that he for a moment believed that there was a possibillity of Hannah and her busband being alive. Five months had passed. In these days of wireless telegraph and fast sea traffic such a thing could not be possible. The Imagiâ€" nation of the practical bardware merâ€" chant could not visualize It. One day when Carolyn May was visâ€" iting Mrs. Gormley Chet burst in quite unexpectedly, for it was not yet midâ€" afternoon. â€" \ _ ‘The wind blew out of the cove, too. ‘ As they drew away from the shelter of ‘ the land they felt its strength. | â€" Naturally, neither the boy nor the | little girlâ€"and surely not the dogâ€" looked back toward the lang. Otherâ€" wise, they would have seen the snow flurry that swept down over the town and quickly hid it from the cove. "Mr. Stagg has let me off to take Carolyn May slidin‘. The ice ain‘t goin‘ to be safe in the cove for long now. Spring‘s in the air o‘ready. Both brooks are runnin‘ full," Carolyn May was delighted. AlL have though the sky was overcast and & dren storm thréeatenfng when they got dewn gtor on the ice, nelther the boy mor the litâ€" tle girl gave the weather a second thought. Nor bad Mr. Stagg considâ€" _ ered the weather when he had allowed | mnfl'\ Chet to leave the store that afternoon. ; ;y‘{‘,‘ Chet strapped on his skates, and | I‘I W then settled the little girl firmly on her l l|||w sled, with Prince riding behind. | & . BPE TUTOT MADOIe® onene® dvidt The boy harnessed himself with the long towrope and skated away from the shore, dragging the sled after him at a brisk pace. M o NoR NOe s It was too misty outside the cove to see the open water; but it was there, ang Chet knew it as well as anybody. He hnd no intention of taking amy risksâ€"especially with Carolyn May in his charge. "Oh, my!" squealed Carelyn May, "there isn‘t anybody else on the Ice." "We won‘t run imto nobody, then," lauzhed the boy. Chet was skating his very swiftest. Carolyn May was screaming with deâ€" light. Prince 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, yelling to Carolyn May to "hold fast!" But Prince was flung from it, and scramâ€" bled over the Ice, barking loudly. "On, dear me!" cried Carolyn May. "You stopped too quick, Chet Gormâ€" ley. Goodness! There‘s a hole in the fce! "And I didn‘t see It till we was alâ€" most in It," acknawledged Chet. "It‘s more‘n a hdle. Why! there‘s a great field of Ice broke off and sailin‘ out Into the lake." "Oh, my !" gasped the little girl. ‘The boy knew at once that he must be careful in making his way home with the little girl. Having seen one great fissure in the ice, he might come upon another. It seemed to him as though the ice under his feet was in Eo mt on taet motion. In the distance was the sound of a reverberating crash that could mean but one thing. The ice in the cove was Igeaking up ! The wn:rs of the two brooks were pouring down Into the cove.

The Chapel Bell. | If Joseph Stagg had obeyed the preâ€" eept of his little nlece on this particuâ€" lar afternoon and had been "looking up," instead of having his nose in the big ledger, making out monthly stateâ€" ments, he might have discovered the coming storm in season to withdraw his permission to Chet to take Caroâ€" lyn May out on the ice. It was always dark enough in the little back office in winter for the hardâ€" ware dealer to have a lamp burning. So he did not notice the snow flurry that had taken Sunrise Cove in its arms until he chanced to walk out to the front of the store for needed exereisge. "I declare to man, it‘s snowing!" muttered Joseph Stagg. "Thought we‘d got through with that for !.hlf seasqn." _ He opened the store door. There fil! a hill, clammy wind, and the snow was damp and packed quickly under "Hum! If that Chet Gormley were here now, he might be of some use for once," thought Mr. Stagg.

BRAID & CC., Vancoiivér, Canada Held a ful Meeting. i The meet of business men held at the Theatorjium Friday evening to decide upon erecting in Elmira an upâ€" toâ€"date theatre and Assembly Hall, although not too many present, was considered very successful. Mr. L. G. NeVille, the father of the movement, gave those present reasons and good ones at that why a theatre and an asâ€" sembly hall are necessary to a comâ€" munity. Among the moral reason, we |l);;y when it is expected to hold one big celebration. It‘s off on a good ‘start so keep the proposition a living | one. On Friday night at the meeting of the business men, the theatre propoâ€" sition appealed to them as feasable und a good investment. Steps were taken to draft a subscription list and canvass for sharcholders, the value of each share to be $10. Nearly every one of those present signed the list showing their willingness to become shareholders of the new theatre and assembly hall company. W!tr will be neccssa_ry to subscribe at least $30,000. If this is done, the theâ€" atre will be constructed by Labor Mr. NeVillie is a good showman and "the Isle of Love" has proven this. He likes Elmira because of its good people and the bright prospects this town has. Successful Dance. The dance at the Elmira Rubber Factory assembly hall Friday night was another suceess, due mostly to the imusic of Mullins‘ orchéestra of Kitchener. The one steps, fox trots and waltzes were the hits of the evenâ€" ing and the large crowd present enâ€" joyed them immensely.

Before leaving on the tour of Inspecâ€" | tion, Mr. Koch with the Wellington officials motored over the new conâ€" crete roawd, on their return, Warden: Campbell said, "the concrete road is good and I‘m in favor of such roads, but the road from Elmira to the conâ€" crete is rough and should be fixed at once." Of course Reeve Koch has done everything in his power to imâ€" prove the township roads, and conâ€" crete highway is an indication of his work.
