For the Cause. ’CONNELL had changed very 0 much since the days of St. Ker. nan‘s hill. As was foreshad- owed earlier, he no longer urged violence. He had come under the in- fluence of the more temperate men of the party and was consent to win by legislative means what Ireland had failed to accomplish wholly by con- flict, although no one recognized more thoroughly than O‘Connell what a large part the determined attitude or the Irish party in resisting the Bag- lish laws, depriving them of the right of free speech and or meeting to spread light among the ignorant. had played in wringing some measure of recognition and of tolerance from the English ministers. «’hat changed O'Connell more par- ticularly was the action of a band of The continual thought that preyed upon him was that he would have nothing to leave her when his call came. Do what he would. he could make but little money, and when he had a small surplus he would spend it on Peg-a shawl to keep her warm or a ribbon to give a gleam of color to the drab little clothes. - On great occasions he would buy her a new dress, and than l’eg was the proudest little child in the whole of Ireland. Erery year on the anniversary ot‘ her mothers death OCoanell had a mass said for the repose or Angela’s soul. and he wouitl kneel beside Peg through the service and be siieut for the rest of the day. One year he had candles blessed by the archbishop lit on Our Lady‘s altar, and he stayed long after the service was over. He sent Peg home. But, although Peg obeyed him partially by leaving the church. she kept watch outside until her fa- ther came out. He was wiping his eyes as he saw her. He pretended to be very angry. “Didn t 1 tell ye to go home?" “Ye (lid. fa ther.” “Then why didn't ye obey me?” “Sure au' what would I be doiu’ at home. all alone, without you? Don‘t he cross with me. father.” He took her hand. and they walked home in silence. He had been crying,” and Peg could not understand it. She had never seen him do such a thing be- fore, and it worried her. It did not seem right that a man should cry. It seemed a weakness, and that her fa. ther of all men should do it, he who was not afraid of anything or any one, was wholly unaccountable to her. was wholly unaccountable to her. When they reached home Peg busied herself about her father. trying to make him comfortable, furtively watcn- ing him all the While. When she had put him in an easy chair and brought him his slippers and built up the tire she sat down on a little stool by his side. After a long silence she stroked the back of his hand and then gave him a little tug. Lle looked down at hen “What is it. Peg?" “Was my mother very beautiful, ta. ther ':" “The most beautiful woman that ever lived in all the wurrld. Peg.” “She looks beautiful in the picture ye have of her.” From the inside pocket of his coat he drew out a )ittle beautifully paint- ed miniature. The frame had long since been worn and frayed. O'Con- nell looked at the face, and his eyes shone. “The man that painted It couldn't put the soul of her into it. That he couldn't; not the soul of her.” _ “Am 1 like her at an. father?“ asked Peg Wis/(fully. “Sometimes ye are. dear, very like." After a little pause Peg said: “Ye loved her very much. father. didn‘t ye?" He nodded. “I loved her with all the heart of me and all the strength at Peg sat qstet for some minutes; then she asked him a question very quietly and hung in suspense on his answer: “Do ye love me as much as ye loved her, father?" ' . “I t’s difl'erent. Peg, quite. quite dit- terent.” “Why is it?” She waited. He did not answer. “Sure. love is love whether ye feel it for a woman or a child.” she per- O’Connell remained silent. “Did ye love her betther than ye love me. father?” Her soul was in her great blue eyes as she waited excitedly for the answer to that. to her. momen- tous anestimp.

Ye see. fa- the: I \e thought all these \ears that l was the one ye really loved" - ‘Ye're the only one I have in the wmnrld Peg." “And ye don’ t Iove her memor) bet- ther than 5e do me. '"’ ‘ O'Connell put both of his arms around her. "Yer mother is with the saints. Peg. and here are_you by me side. Sure there‘s room in me heart for the mem. cry of her and the love of you.” Shehreathed a little sigh of satis- faction and nestled on to her father‘s shoulder. The little fit of childish jeal- ousy of her dead mother's place in her father's heart passed. She wanted -uo one to share her fa- ther‘s :ltfectlon will) her. She gave him all of hers. She needed all of his. When Peg was eighteen 'years old and they were living in Dublin. O'Con- nell was ofl‘ered quite a good position in New York. It appealed to him. The additional money would make things easier for Peg. She was almost a woman now. and he wanted her to get the finishing touches of education that would prepare her for a position in the world if she met the man she felt she could marry. Whenever he would speak of marriage Peg Would laugh scorn fully: _ “fi‘lxcwonnd '1. be armer marryin’, I'd like to know? Where in the wurrld would I find a man like you?" And no coaxing would make her car- ry on the discussion or consider its possibility. It still harassed him to think he had so little to leave her if anything Imp- pcned to him. The offer to go to Amer- tca seemed provideutial. Her mother was buried tilloreh He would take PO}; to her grave. Peg grew very thoughtful at the idea of leaving Ireland. All her lime likes and dislikes. her impulsive affections and but hatred, were bound up In that country. She dreaded the prospect of meeting a number or new people. Still. it was for her father's good. 5 she turned a brave face wit and said: “Sure it is the finest thing in the wurrld for both of us." But the night before they left Ire- land she sat by the little Window in her bedroom until daylight looking back through all the years of her short life. , It seemed as if she were cutting off all that beautiful golden period. She would never again know the free, care- less, nnpm'vgo-lueky, living from day to (lay' existence that she had loved so much. It was a ‘pale. wistful. tired little Peg that joined her father at break. fast next morning. His heart was heavy too. But he laughed and joked and sang and said how glad they ought to lieâ€"going to that wonderful new country and. by the way. the country Peg was. born in too! And then he laughed again and said how fine she looked and how well he felt and that it seemed as if it were God’s hand in it all. And Peg pretended to cheer up. and they acted their parts right to the 0nd -â€"until the last line of land disappear- ed and they were headed for America. Then they separated and went to their littte cabins to think of at! that had been. And every day they kept up the little deception with each other until they reached America. They were cheerless days at first for O'Connell. Everything reminded him or his first landing twenty years be- fore with his young wifeâ€"both so full of hope, with the future stretching out like some wonderful panorama before them. He .1'etnrns twenty years older to begin the fight again-this time for his daughter. His wife was buried in a little Cath- olic cemetery a few miles outside New \urk citv. There he took Peg one day and tlmv put no“ 919 on the little mound of emth and melt anhile in prayer. Beneath that earth lay not only his wife’s remains, but O'Con- nell's early hopes and ambitions were buried with her. Neither spoke vithor going to or re- turning from the cemetery. O'Con- noll‘s heart was too full. Peg knew what was passing through his mind and sat with her hands folded in her lapâ€"silent. But her little brain was busy thinking back. Peg had much to think of during the early days following her arrival in New York. At first the city awed her with its huge buildings and‘ ceaseless whirl of activity and Misc. She long- ed to be back in her own little green. beautiful country. O'Connell was away during those first days until late at night. -. ‘Qj â€"-~-- ‘_V' ___ He found a school .for Peg. She did not want to go to it. but just to please her father she agreed. She lasted in it Just one week. They laughed at her brogue and teased and tormented her for her absolute lack of knowledge 1'88 out up with that just as long as she could. Then one day she opened out on them and astonished them. They could not have been more amaz. ed had a bomb exploded in their midst. Thelittle. timid looking. open eyed, Titian haired girl was a veritable “7880. She attacked and belittled and mimicked and berated them. They had talked of her broguel They should ilisten to their own nasal utterances. that sounded as if they were speaking with their noses and not with their tongues! Even the teacher did not go unscathed. She came in for an on- slaught too. That closed Peg‘s career as a New York student. Her father arranged his work so that he could be with her at certain peri- ods of the day and outlined her‘studies from his own stender stock of know!- m DURHAI CHRONICLE. Une wonderful day they had an ad; ditiou to their small family. A little. wiry haired. scruhhy, melancholy Irish terrier followed O'Connell for miles. He tried to drive him away. The dog would turn and run for a few seconds. and the moment O‘Connell would take his eyes off him he would run along and catch him up and wag his over- long tail and look up at O‘Connell with his sad eyes. The dog followed him all the way home, and when O'Connell opened the door he ran in. O‘Connell had not the heart to turn him out. so he poured out some milk and broke up some dry biscuits for him and then played with him until Peg came home. She liked the little dog at once, and then and there O’Ctmnell adopted him and gave him to’Peg‘. .He said the dog's face had a look of Michael Quin. Klan, the Fenian. So Michael he was Enamed, and he took his place in the {little home. He became l’eg's boon companion. They romped together iike children, and they talked to each other and understood each other. The days flowed quietly on, O'Con» nell apparently satisfied with his lot. But to Peg’s sharp eye all was not well with him. There was a settled melancholy about him whenever she surprised him thinking alone. She thought he was fretting for Ireland and their happy days together and so said nothing He was really worrying over Peg’s future. He had such a small amount of money put By. and working on a salary it would be long before he could save enough to leave l’eg sum- cient to carry her on for awhile if “anything happened." There was al- ways that “it anything happened’ run- ning in his mind. CHAPTER 1X. Peg’s Future. NE day the chance of solving the 0 Whole dilficulty of Peg‘s future was placed in O'Conneu's . hands. But the means were so distasteful to him that he hesitated about even telling her. He came in unexpectedly in the early afternoon of that day and found :1 )et- ter waiting for him with an English postmark. Peg had eyed it curiously OE and on for hours. She had turned it over and over in her fingers and looked at the curious, angular writing and felt a little com shiver run up and down her as she found herself wonder- ing who could be writing to her father from England. When O‘Connell walked in and pick. ed the letter up she watched him ex- citedly. 'She felt. for some strange rea- son, that they were going to reach a crisis in their lives when the seal was broken and the contents disciosed. Superstition was strong in Peg. and all that day she had been nervous without reason and excited without cause. O'Connell read .the letter through twice, slowly the first time. quickly the second. A look of bewilderment came across his face as he sat down and stared at the letter in his hand. “Who is it from at all?" asked Peg very quietly. though she was trembling all througt} her body. Her father said nothing. Presently he read it through again. “It’s from England, father, isn‘t it?" queried Pea. male as a ghost.
