too tired to think of her own supper.

4 1,0,11 ,n whlc h they left the sink
ing Dunraven was separated In the night
and fog from that of the other refugees
and was carried by the current far to
the south. In fact, they were enveloped
by tog until they landed upon a stretch
of deserted beach.
There wee no town near, nor even an
encampment of Arabs. But aoon after
their disembarkation and before tho of
ficer ln command could take means to
communicate with any civilized, or seml-
clvlllzed, place a party of mounted and
armed tribesmen swooped down on the
castaways.
These people, being Mohammedans, and
having seen the battle the day before
between the French and the Turks, con
sidered the castaways enemies and swept
them away with them Into the desert to
a certain oasis, where for nearly eight
months Mr. John Lewis Cameron and his
wife and the other refugees from the
Dunraven were kept without being al
lowed to communicate with their friends.
Mr. Cameron was on furlough from
his paper because of 111 health. At the
beginning of his captivity he was tn a
very bad way. Indeed, It Is said. But the
months ln the hot. dry atmosphere of
the desert have made a new man of him,
and he personally cannot hold much ran
cor against the Mohammedan tribe that
held him a prisoner.
There was more of the wonderful
story, but the sleepy little girl had
given lt no attention whatsoever.
Prince had eaten and lain down ln his
familiar corner. The little girl had
gone softly Into her own room and
made up her bed as she had seen her
mother and Mrs. Price make It
Then she turned on the water In
the bathtub and took a bath. It was
delightful to have a real tub Instead
of the galvanized bucket they used at
Uncle Joe’s.
She put on her nightgown at last*
knelt and said her prayer. Including
that petition she had never left out of
1^.since that first night she had knelt
at Aunty Rose's knee:
“God bless my papa and mamma
and bring them safe home.”
The faith that moves mountains was
ln that prnyer.
Carolyn May slept the sleep of the
wearied If not of the carefree. The
noises of the street did not disturb
her, not even the passing of the fire-
department trucks some time after
midnight.
Nor (lid 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 the
Price’s apartment. Lnter the janitor’s
family was aroused, but the little lame
boy thought lt would be better for him
to say nothing about having seen Car
olyn May nnd of having given her the
keys.
So when ln the early morning a tnxl-
cnb stopped nt the street door and a
bushy-haired, troubled-looking man got
out nnd helped a woman clad In brown
to the sidewalk tne janitor hnd no
knowledge of the fnct that Carolyn
May nnd Prince were upstairs ln the
apartment that had been so long
empty.
“And the Trices are away,” said
Uncle Joe In a troubled voice. “What
do you think of tliut, Mundy?”
“Oh, Joe! where could the dear child
have gone?”
“I haven't seen her,” declared the
Janitor. “Hut I can. let you Into tho
flat. There’s been lots of telegrams
to Mr. Price in the night—nnd they
weren’t all yours. You're Carolyn
May’s uncle, ain’t you?” he asked Mr.
Stagg.
Uncle Joe acknowledged the rela
tionship. “Let’s go upstairs,” he snld
to Amanda. “Now that I’m here—”
“Oh, dear, Joe 1” almost wept Arnnn-
tla, “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.
The janitor’s passkey grating In
the lock of the private hall door start
ed something that none of them ex
pected. A startling bark echoed In the
rooms which were supposed to be
empty.
“Whatever Is that?” gasped the jan
itor. \
“It's Prince
Uncle Joe.
“'The child Is here!" cried Amanda
Parlow, and she was the first to enter
the apartment.
. Prince bounded wildly to moot her.
He leaped and barked. A cry sounded
from n room beyond. Miss Amanda
nnd Uncle Joe rushed In.
Sleepily, her face flushed, rubbing
her blue eyes wide open, Carolyn May
sat up In bed.
‘ Ob, Uncle Joe! Ob, Miss Amanda 1 ’

own pupa and mamma bad come borne
and found me here."
“M.v dear! My dear!” sobbed Aman

side the bed.
“You’re a great young one!” growled
Uncle Joe. Mowing his nose suspl-1

••Oh—I’m sorry," stammered Cnro-
I Ivti May. “Rut—you—see— Uncle

have room for life."
“Bless me!" gasped the hardware
dealer. "What do you know about
child’s feeling that way. Mnndy?
Joe, the woman said, sighing. “And
that Is something that Carolyn May •
has never been ln her life!” i
I dunno—I dunno," said Uncle Joe I
ruefully and looking at the little, ‘
flower-like face -of the child. “How
about Aunty Rose? How d'you s'pose j
she feels about Hannah's Car'lyn run- I
nlng away?” J
“Oh I” ejaculated the little girl. I
It may be that ‘two’s company nnd J
threes a crowd,’ but you and Aunty
Rose would be two likewise, wouldn't
you, Car’lyn May?"
“I—I never thought of that, Uncle
Joe,” the child whispered.
“M hy, your running away from The ;
Corners this way is like to make both
Mnndy and me unhappy, ns well as
Aunty Rose. I—I don’t b'lieve Mnndy
could get married at all If she didn’t
have a little girl like you to enrry
flowers and hold up her train. How
about It, Mundy?”
“That Is quite true, Carolyn May,”
declared Miss Amanda, hugging the
soft little body of the child tightly
again.
“Why, I—I—”
Cnrolyn May wns for once beyond
verbal expression. Besides there was
a noise In the outer hall and on the
stnlrwuy. The door hnd been left
open by the surprised Janitor.
A burst of voices came Into the
apartment. Uncle Joe turned wonder-
Ingly. Miss Amnndn stood up. Car
olyn May flew out of bed with a shriek
that startled them both.
"My papn! My mammal I hear
them 1 They’re not drownd-ed 1 God
didn't let ’em be lost ln the sea!"
She wns out of the room ln her
nightgown, pattering In bare feet over
the floor. A brown man, with a beard

Do you feel weak, diz

lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so

women who suffered—it
should help you back to

Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

flbo Says He Now Feels Fine, Since Taking
Ziron Iron Tonic.
David Jones, of Forbus,
writes: “I got a bottle of Ziron and
will say that I never had anything to
come in bo good a time as I was think
ing of giving up, 1 was so weak. I
cannot tell you how bad 1 felt. Bad
stomach trouble, loss ot appetite,
couldn’t sleep, In fact was a total
wreck all over, as I am subject to weak
spells in the Spring of the year. After
using Ziron will say I now feel fine
and can do a fine days work. I think
you have a good medicine, and I can
surely recommend it to any one who
needs a tonic”.
Medical authorities and text books
agree that iron is needed to keep the
system ln good condition. Investiga
tion shows that pale, weak, tired peo
ple generally lack the necessary a-
mount of iron ln their blood. The
' strength that Iron gives may be ob
tained by taking Zirom Iron Tonic.
Try it. Ask your druggist about his
guarantee on Ziron. ZN 4
