She schemed out her whole plan of action. She would contradict ‘ â€"- S L“:.“A VIII.“ - “wwwâ€" and disobey and berate and belittle. Nothing they would do would be right to her. and nothing she would do or say would be right to them. She took infinite pleasure in her plan 01 earn- paign. Then. when she was enjoying the pleasure of such resentful dreams. she would think or her father waiting for news of her. of his pride in her. of how much he wanted her to succeed. She would realize how much the part- ing meant to him, and all her little plots would tumble down, and she would resolve to try to please her re- lations. learn all she could, succeed be- yond all expression and either go back to America prosperous or send for her father to join her in England. All her dreams had her father either centrif- ugally or centripetally beating through them. . She refused all advances of friendship aboard ship. No one dared speak to her. She wanted to be alone In her sor- row. She and Michael would romp on the lower deck by favor or one or the seamen. who would keep a sharp look- out for otficers. This seamanâ€"O’Farrell by name- tool: quite a liking to Peg and the dog and did many little kindly. gracious acts to minister to the comfort or both of them. He warned her that they would not let Michael go with her from the dock until he had first been quaran- tined. This hurt l’eg more than any- thing could. She burst into tears. To have Michael taken from her would be the last misfortune. She would, in- deed. be alone in that strange country. She was inconsolable. O'Farren at last took it on himself to get the dog ashore. He would wrap him up in some sailcloths. and then he would carry Michael outside the gates when the customs authorities had examined her few belongings. When they reached Liverpool O‘Far- rell was as good as his word. though many were the anxious moments they had as one or other of the customs officers would eye the suspicious pack- age O'Farrell carried so carelessly un- der his arm. At the dock a distinguished lo’oking gentleman came on board and after some considerable difficulty succeeded in locating Peg. He was a well dress- ed. soft speaking. vigorous man of for~ ty-five. He inspired Peg with an in- stant dislike by his somewhat authori- tative and pompous manner. He in- troduced himself as Mr. Montgomery Hawkes. the legal adviser for the Kingsnorth estate. and at once proceed- ,ed to take charge of Peg as a matter of course. Poor Peg felt ashamed of her poor little bag. containing just a few changes of apparel. and her little pa- per bundle. She was mortified when she walked down the gangway with the prosperous looking lawyer while extravagaatly dressed people with piles of luggage dashed here and there endearoring to get it examined. But Mr. Hawkes did not appear to notice Peg’s shabbiness. On the con- trary. he treated her and bet belongings as though she were the must fashion- able of line ladies and her wardrobe the most complete. Outside the gates she found O'Far- reli waiting for her. with the precious Michael struggling to free himself from his coverings. Hawkes soon had a cab alongside He helped Peg into it; then she stretched out her arms. and O‘Farrell opened the sailcloths. and out sprang Michael. dusty and dirty and blear eyed. but. oh. such a happy. fussy. affectionate. relieved little ca- nine When he saw his beloved owner waiting tor-him. He made one spring at her, much to the lawyer’s dignified amazement. and began to bark at her and lick her face and hands and jump on and roll over and over upon Peg in i an excess of joy at hls release. Peg ottered O'Farrell an American dollar. She had very little left. “Oh, but ye must. 1ndade ye must!” cried Peg in distress. “Sure I won’t lie aisy tonight lf ye don’t. But for you poor Michael here might have been on that place ye spoke ofâ€"that quarantine, whatever it .13. Ye saved him from that. And don’t despise it because it’s an American dollar. Sure it has a value all over the wurrld. An’, ibesides. l have no English money.” Poor Peg pleaded that 0' Farrell should mkeit. He hadbeensonicetoherall I the way over. O’Farren indignantJy refused to take it. warmly for his kindness to Peg and her dog. returned the dollar to Peg. let her say goodby to the kindly ml} or, told the (:1me to drive to a cer- tnin railway station. and in a few see and: they were bowling along and reg Hawkes interposed skillfully, gave Copyfldht. an kinds of reprisals from Photographs of the 1913. by Dodd. Mead (.4 Company By J. Hartley Manners had entered a new country ana a new life. They reached the railway sta- tion. and Hawkes procured tickets. and In half an hour they were on a train bound for the north of England. During the Journey Buwkes volun- teered no information. He bought her papers and magazines and offered her lunch. This Peg refused She said the ship had not agreed with her. She did not think she would want food for a long time to come. After awhile. tired out with the rush and excitement of the ship’s arrival. Peg fell asteep. In a few hours they reached their destination. Hawkes woke her and told her she was at her juurney's end. He again hailed a cab. told the driver where to :0 and got in with Peg. Mi- ehae. and her luggage. to the cab he handed Fe: :1 card and told her to go to the address written on it and ask the people there to aiiow her to wait until he joined her. He had a business call to make in the town. He would be as short a time as possible. She was just to tell the people that she had been asked to can there and wait. After the cab had gone through a few streets it stopped before a big building. Huwkes got out. told the cabman where to take Peg. paid him and. with some final admonitions to Peg. disappeared through the swing doors of the town halL The cabman took the wondering Peg along until he drove up to a very hand- some Elizabethan house. There he stopped. Peg looked at the name on the gateposts and then at the name on the card Mr. Bawkes had given her. They were the same. Once more she gathered up her belongings and her dog and passed in through the gate- posts and wandered up the long drive on a tour of inspection. She walked through the paths dividing rose beds i until she came to some open windows. }The main entrance hall of the house seemed to be hidden away somewhere. amid the tall old trees. . Peg made straight for the open with ‘ Idows and walked into the most won- l ldert'ul looking room she had ever seen. Everything in it was old and massive. ‘ It bespoke centuries gone by in every ‘detail. Peg held her breath as she ' looked around her. Pictures and tapestries stared at her from the walls. Beautiful old vases were arranged in cabinets. The.carpet was deep and soft and stifled all sound. Peg almost ‘ gave an ejaculation of surprise at the wonders of the room. when she sud- denly became conscious that she was I not alone in the room. that others Were there and that they were talking. She looked in the direction the sounds came from and saw. to her as- tonishment. a man with a woman in his arms. He was speaking to her in a most ardent manner. They were partially concealed by some statuary. Peg concluded at once that she had intruded on some marital scene at which she was not desired. so she in- stantly sat down with her back to !IDBUL -9,- - -- l yaw..." She tried not to “stem. but some of the words came distinctly to her. Just as she was becoming very uncomforta- ble and had half made up her mind to leave the room and find somewhere else to wait she suddenly heard herself addressed and in no uncertain tone of voice. There were tndignation. sur- prise and anger in Ethel‘s question: “How long have you lwen here?" Peg turned around and saw a strik- ingly handsome. lwautifi'my dressed young lady glaring down at her. Her manner was naughty in the extreme. Peg felt most unhappy as she looked at her and did not answer immedi- ately. ‘ CHAPTER XlV. Peg In England. ” 0W long have you been here?” ‘ again asked Ethel or l’eg. ' “Sure 1 only came in this' minnit." said Peg lunocently and with a little note of fear. She was not accustomed to line looking. splendidly. dressed young ladies like Ethel. “Whatdo'you want?" demanded the young lady. . “Nothin‘.” said Peg reassuringly. “Nothing?" echoed Ethel. growing angrler every moment. “Not a thing. I was just told to wait.” said Pe". “Who told you?" “A gentleman." replied Peg. “What gentleman?" asked \Ethel sharply and susplciously. . - AA.â€" A...â€" UH“. rod vwâ€"â€" - _ “Just a gentleman." Peg. after fum- bling nervousty in her pocket. produced the card Mr. Bawkes had given her. which Michael immediately attempted to take possession or.

There was nu mistaking the manner of the proud yuung lady. Peg (muted under it. She looked up sullenly into Ethel’s face and said: "l was not to say a wurrd, I‘m tell- in' ye. 1 was just to wait." l’eg set- tled back in the (hair and stroked Michael. This questioning was not at all to her liking. She wished Mr. Hawkes would come and get her out of a most embarrassing position. But until he did she was not going to dis- obey his instructions. He told her to say nothing..so nothing would she say. Ethel turned abruptly to Brent and found that gentleman looking at the odd little stranger somewhat admiring- ly. She gave an impatient ejaculation and turned back to l’eg quickly: "You say you have only been here a minute?" "That‘s all," replied Pegâ€""just a minnit." "Were we talking when you came in?” ‘ “Ye were." Ethel could scarcely conceal her rage. “Did you hear what we said '2" “Some of itâ€"not much." said Peg. “What did you hear?" “ ‘Please don'tâ€"it‘s so hot this morn- in‘,’ " said Peg. with no attempt at iml- tation. just as it she were stating a simple. ordinary occurrence. Ethel flushed scarlet. Brent smiled. “You refuse to say why you're here or who you are?“ Ethel again asked. “It isn't me that‘s refusin'. All the gentleman said to me was: ‘Ye go tn the place that‘s written down on the card an’ sit down there an’ wait. An' that's all ye do.‘ " Ethel afiuin turned to the perplexed Brent. "Eh?“ “Extraordinary!" And Brent shook his head. The position was unbearable. Ethel decided instantly how to relieve it, She looked freezingly down at the for- lorn looking little intruder and said: “Are they?“ asked Peg without mov- ing and not in any way taking the statement to refer to her. ”The serâ€"vantS‘ quarters are at the back of the house." “And I may save you the trouble or waiting by telling you we are quite provided with servants. We do not need any further assistance." Peg just looked at lithe! and then bent down over Mivnnel. Ethel‘s last shot had struck home. l’oor Peg was cut through to our soul. How 5119 longed at that moment to be back home with her father in New York Before she could say anything Ethel continued: ”If you insist on waiting. kindly do so there." Peg took Michael up in her arms col- lected once more her packages and walked to the windows Again she heard the cold, hard tones of Ethel’s voice speaking to her: ' “Follow the path to your right until you come to a door. Knock and ask Dexmission to Wait there, and for your future guidance go to the bm door of a house and ring. Don‘t walk un- announced into a private room.” Peg tried to explain: “Ye see. ma ’.am 1 didn’ t know. All the gentleman said was, ‘Go there an’ wait’ ”â€" “That will do." , “I’m sorry I disturbed ye." And 7she glanced at the embarrassed Brent. I “That will do!” said Ethel finally. Poor Peg nodded and wandered at! through the windows sore at heart. She went down the path until she reached the door Ethel mentioned. She knocked at it.
