Mrs. Chlchester turned to her daugh- ter. “Ethel?” “Whatever you decide, mamma.” Mrs. Chichester thought a moment. then decided. “l'll do it.” she said determinedly. “It will be hard. but I‘ll do it.” She went slowly and de- liberately to Mr. Hawkes. who by this time had disposed of all his documents and was preparing to go. A look in Mrs. Chichester's face stopped him. He smiled at her. “Well?” he asked. “For the sake of the memory of my dead sister. 1 will do as Nathaniel wished,” said Mrs. Chichester. with great dignity and self ahnegation. “Good!" he said. “I’m delighted. It is splendid. Now that you have decid- ed so happily there is one thing more I must tell you. The young lady is not to be told the conditions of the will unless at the discretion of the execu- tors should some crisis arise. She will be to all intents and purposes-your guest. In that way we may be able to arrive at a more exact knowledge or her character. Is that understood?” The family signified severally and collectively that it was. “And now." beamed the lawyer. hap- py at the fortunate outcome of a sit- uation that a few moments before seemed so strained, “where is your bell?" Alarlc ludlcated the bell. “May 1 ring?“ asked the lawyer. “Certaluly.” replied Alaric. Mr. Hawkes rang. Alaric watched him curiously. “Want a sand wicb or something?" - “She arrived from New York this morning. and I brought her straight here. I had to can on a client, so I gave her your address and told her to come here and wait.” At the word ”wait” an uneasy feel- ing took possession of Ethel. That was the word used by that wretched little vreature who had so rudely intruded upon her and Brent. Could it he pos- Sibleâ€" The footman entered at that mo ment. The lawyer questioned him. “Is there a young lady waiting for Mr. Hawkes?” "A young lady. sir? No. sir.” an- swered Jarvis. Mr. Hawkes was puzzled. What in the world had become of her? He told the cahman distinctly where to go. Mr. Hawkes breathed a sigh of re- lief. Jarvis opened the door to go out when a thought suddenly occurred to him. He turned bad; and spoke to the lawyer: "There‘s a young person sitting in the kitchen-came up and knocked at the door and said she had to wait un- til a gentleman called. Can't get noth- ing out of her." Hawkes brightened up. “That must be Miss O’Connell.” he said. He turned to Mrs. Chit-bester and asked her if he might bring the young lady in there. Hawkes smiled benignly on the un- fortunate family and rubbed his hands together self satisfiedly. “Now I would like to send for the young lady-the heiress." ter. “My niece in the kitchen 3" said Mrs. Chlchester to the unfortunate footman. “Surely you should know the differ- ence between my niece and a servant!” “1 am truly sorry. madam." replied Jarvis in distress, “but there was notn. mg to tell.” A Comedy of Youth Pounded by Mr. Manners on His Great Play of the Same Titleâ€"Illustrations Prom Photographs of the Play “Another such mistake and you can leave my employment.” Mrs. Chiches- ter added severely.

Who in the world could tell she was their relation '2” Mrs. Chichester was very angry. “It’s monstrous!" she exclaimed. “Stoopid!” agreed Alaric. “Doocid stoopid” ‘ Ethel said nothing.

Who could tell this girl was your niece?” Then the Chichester family received the second shock they had experienced that day-one compared with which the failure of the bank paled into in- significance. When they saw the strange. shabby. red haired girl slouch into the room with her parcels and that disgraceful looking dog they felt the hand of misfortune had indeed fallen upon them. Jarvis looked reproacnquy at Mrs. Chichester as much as to say. “What did I tell you?“ and went. out. Alaric whispered to his mother: “Oh, I say. really, you knowâ€"it isn’t true! It can’t be." As Peg wandered into the room Mrs. Chichester and Alaric looked at her in horrifiEd amazement. At this juncture Mr. Hawkes came forward and. taking Peg gently by the arm. reassured her by saying: Ethel took one swift glance at her and then turned her attention to Pet. He brought Peg over to Mrs. Chi- cbester. who was staring at her with tears of mortificatiou in her oyes. “’ben Peg's eyes met her aunt's sbe bobbed a little (-onrtesy she Used to do as 3 ohm] whenever she met some or the gentlefolk. "What is your name?". she asked sternly. v “Peg, ma’am.” “What?" “Sure. me name's Peg. ma‘am.” and she bobbed another little courtesy. Pet suddenly saw Michael and began to bark furiously at him. Michael re- sponded vigoruusly until l'eg quieted “Come here. my dear. Come here. Don’t be frightened. We‘re all your friends.” Mrs. Chivhester went cold when she saw the gauche :u-t. Was it possible that. this creature was her sister Au- gela’s child? It seemed incredible. Mrs. Chichester (closed her eyes and shivered. She asked Alariu to ring. As that young gentleman passed Ethel on his way to the hell he said: ”It can’t really be true! Eh. Ethel ?" “Quaint.” was all his sister replied. Hawkes genially drew Peg‘s atten- tlon to her aunt by introducing her: “This lady is Mrs. Chichesterâ€"yonr aunt." Peg looked .at' her doubtfuuy a moment. then turned to Hawkes and asked him: “Where’s me uncle?” “Alas. my dear child, your uncle is dead!” Mrs. Chichoster Was Angry; Ethel Sand Nothing. “He died just before you sailed.” added Hawkes. “God rest his soul." said Peg piously. “Sure. it I’d known that I’d never have come at all. I’m too late, then. Good day to ye," and she started for the door. Mr. Hawkes stopped her. “Where are you going?” “Back to me father.” “Dead!" exclaimed Peg in surprise. “Aftber sendin‘ for me?" He beckoned Peg to come into the PEG ' ‘x. D- Peg looked at Mrs. Chichester and at the significant action.

She turned to Alarlc and found him re- garding her‘as though she were'some strange animal. Ethel did not deign to notice her. She whispered to Hawkes: “1 can't stay here". “Why not?" asked the lawyer. “l'd be happier with me father." said 4 "man: ye. saw regs'bobmng an- I ""‘J ' ' '<"‘ other little courtesy.

Michael!" she murmured. The terrier looked up at her and then buried his head under her arm as though ashamed. Jams came in response to the ring at that moment. bearing a pained. mar- tyrolike expression on his face. Mrs. Chlchester directed him to take away Peg’a parcels and the dog. Peg frightenedly clutched the terrier. “Oh. no. ma'am.” she pleaded. “Plaze lave Michael with me. Don’t take him away from me." . “Take it away." commanded Mrs. Chicbester severely, “and never let it Inside the house again." “Well. if ye don't want him inside yer house ye don‘t want me inside yer house." Peg snapped back. Ha wkes pleaded. “No!" said Peg firmly. “I will not give him 09.". The lawyer tried again to take the dog from her. “Come. Miss O‘Connell; you really must be reasonable." “I don’t care about being reasona- ble.” replied Peg. “Michael was given to me by me rather. an’ he’s not very big. an' he’s not a watchdog; he’s a pet dogâ€"an’ look!” She caught sight .of Ethel’s little poodle. and. with a cry of self justification, she said: “See. she has a dog in the house-â€" right here In the house. Look at it!" And she pointed to where the little hall of white wool lay sleeping on Eth- el’s lap. Then Peg laughed heartily. “I didn’t know what it was until it moved." HOUSEHOLD HELPS. Don’t keep even dry groceries in paper bagsâ€"use glass iars Any storeroom for food should be cool, dry and well ventilated. The more coarse breads are used the better for the health. of the family. Braid of check material is best mended by using several shades of silk or thread in one needle. Freshly-grated horseradish with a little whipped cream stirred into it makes a nice sauce for boiled meats. - White oilcloth is the best cover- ing for pantry shelves. Keep red pepper around the edges to ward off insects. Eggs are best 12 hours after they are laid. They can be kept for months packed. without touch- ing, in salt, small ends down. Nothing makes a‘ finer polish for tinware than good wood ashes. Delicious strawberry pot pies can be made just like any other not pies with dumplings. When making fruit pies damp the edge with milk instead of water. It holds better, and the iuice is not so liable to boil over. In making a half the batter adding the fry will not be fou tom of the cal the way. To clean silver, apply kerosene with a brush or soft cloth, then rinse in scalding water. No other method is so easy and no other method will give such a lustre. If half a bottle of olives has been used and you wish to keep the rest, add a pinch of salt to the brine, pour a 'tezispoon-ul of olive oil in the liquid. and replace the cork. ’ .The proper Way to make amust- ard plaster so that it will not blister the patient is to use the white of an egg to mix with the mustard instead of water. If aluminum ware is handled until full of dents, it can be ham- mered into shape again, which is one reason why it is the most economical ware a housewife can If a pair of shoes has become stiffened with walking in the wet they should first be washed with warm water and then have oil well rubbed into them. When potatoes are boiled in their jackets their skins should be thoroughly cleaned before they are boiled. A ring of skin about the middle of the potato should be removed before the potatoes are put in to the water, so that the moisture on the inside may escape and the potato will not be soggy9 ' - '-.-'-..t_.i Continued next week. a fruit cake, pour ter in the pan before fruit; then the fruit found all at the bot- cake, as is too often The People’s Mills on hand.
