Now, Lone "or, the remembrance of his tmatnmnt of Angola burnt into him. He especially repented of that merciless cable, “You have made your bed; lie in it."

But we re not goin’ out an the way t9 meet it." Said Peg resomtely. When the morning of her departure came poor Peg woke with a heavy heart. It was their first parting. and she was miserable. O‘Connell. on the contrary. seemed full of life and high spirits. He laughed at her and joked with her and made a little bundle of some things that would not go in her bag and that he had kept for her to the last minute. They were a rosary that had been his mother’s, a prayer book Father Cahill gave himothe day be was confirmed and lastly the little miniature of An- gela. It wrung his heart to part with it. but he wanted i’eg to have it near her, especially as she was going among the relations of the dead wo- man.
