EG’S little heart was craving for P some show of kindness. If she were going to stay there she would make the best of it. She would make some friendly advances to them. She held her hand out to Mrs. Chichester. “I'm sure I'm very grateful to you for tukin' me to live with ye here. An‘ me father will he too. But. ye see. it’s all so strange to me here. an’ I‘m so far awayâ€"an‘ I miss me father so much." Mrs. Chicbester. ignoring the out- stretched nand. stopped her peremp- torily: “(30 with him!" And she pointed up the stairs. on the first landing of which stood the portly Jarvis waiting to con. duct Peg out of the family’s sight. Pep dropped a little courtesy to Mrs. Chichester. smiled at Ethel. looked lot'tilv at Alaric, then run up the stairs, and. following the footmnn's Index fin- ger pointing the way, she disappeared lroxn Mrs. Chichestofs unhappy gaze. The three looked at each other. "A w ful I" said A la ric. “Terrible!" agreed Mrs. Chiclxester. ”One thing is absolutely necessary." Mrs. (:hlclxester went on to sayâ€"“she must be kvpt :1 way from every one for the present." "I should say so!" cried Alaric ener- getically. Suddenly he ejaculated: "Good Lord! Jerryâ€"he mustnt see A Comedy of Youth Founded by Mr. Manners on Hi: Great Play of the Same Title-Illustrations From Photographs of the Play ner. He‘d laugh his head off at the idea or my having a relation like her. He‘ll probably run in to lunch.” “Then she must remain in her room until he’s gone.” said Mrs. Chicbester determinedly. “I’ll go into town now and order some things for her and see about tutors. She must be taught and at once." “Why put up with this annoyance at all?" asked Ethel. "One thousand pounds a year. that is the reason." “Wait a minute. mater.” put in Alar. ic, “and I'll go with you as far as the station road and see it I can head Jer- Mrs. Chichester put her arm around Ethel as she said: ry ofl'. His train is almost due it it's punctual.” He was genuinely concerned that his old chum should not meet that impossi- ble little red headed Irish heathen whom an unkind fate had dropped down in their midst. At the hall door Mrs. Chichester told Jarvis that her niece was not to leave her room without permission. As Mrs. Chichester and Alaric pass- ed out they little dreamed that the same relentless fate was planning still fur- ther humiliations for the unfortunate family and through the new and un- welcome addition to it. Peg was shown by the maid. Ben- nett. into a charming old world room overlooking the rose garden. Every- thing about lt was in the most ex- quisite taste. The furniture was of white and gold., the vases of Sevres, a few admirable prints on the walls and roses everywhere. Peg Followed Jarvns Up the Stairs. Lett to her reflections, poor Peg found herself wondering how people with so much that was beautiful around them could live and act as the Chichester family apparently did. They seemed to borrow nothing from their once illustrious and prosperous dead. They were, it would appear. only con. earned with a particularly near pren- The splendor of the house awedâ€"the narrowness of the people irritated her. $.22: 2.1:. new equation or 11:12:: Copyright. 1913. by Dodd.

All [pegs independent irish blood flared up. What would she be doing: shut up in :1 little white and gold room all day? She answex'ed the maid excitedly: waere seen people were endowed with so much of the world's gouds while her father had to strug ole all his life for the bare necessaries! Very much comforted by the reflec- tion and having exhausted all the cu- rious things in the little mauve room. she determined to see the rest of the house.- First she changed to another dress. At the top of the stairs she met the maid Bennett. “Toll Mrs. Chi-star I am not goin' to do anything: nf the kind.

What is yours?” “Peg!" And there was a sullen note of fixed determination in her tone. “Peg. eh?" And the stranger smiled. She nodded and looked at him curi- ously. What a strange name he had- Jerry! She had never heard such a name before associated with such a distinguished looking man. “Jerry, did ye say?” “Just plain Jerry.” he answered “And you’re Peg." ' “Aunt! Consuls! Aunt: Come here;l want to tell ye about meself!" “'l‘boy‘vc all gone out." said the maid quickly. “Then what are ye makin' such a fuss about? You go out too.” She \vutohud tho disappointed Ben- nett leave the room and then began a tour of insmctiun. She had never Seen so many strange things outside of a museum. Fierce men in armor glared at her out of massive frames: old gentlemen in powdered wigs smiled pleasantly at oer; haughty ladies in breath bereav- ing coiffures stared superviliously right through her. She felt must uncom. fortable in such strange company. On the piano she found a perfectly carved bronze statuette of Cupid. She gave a little elfish cry of delight. took the statuette in her arms and kissed it. "Cupid. me darlin‘! Faith. it‘s you that causes all the mischief in the wurrld. ye divil ye!” she cried. All her depression vanished. She was like a child again. She sat down at the piano and played the simple re- frain and sang in her little girlish tremulous voice one of her father’s favorite songs. her eyes on Cupid: “Oh. the days are gone when beauty bright My heart’s charm wove! When my dream of life. from morn till night. Was love. still love! New hope may bloom And days may come 0f milder. calmer beam. But there's nothing half so sweet in life As love's young dream! No. there’s nOthing half so sweet in life As love's young dream." As she let the last bars die away and gave Cupid a little caress and was about to commence the next verse a vivid flash of lightning played around the room. followed almost immediateâ€" ly by a crash of thunder. Peg cowered down into a deep chair. All the laughter died from her face and the joy in her heart. She made the sign of the cross. knelt down and prayed. Into the room through the window came a young man. his coat collar turn- ed up, rain pouring from his hat. 1n- side his coat was a terrified looking dog. The man came well into the room. turning down the collar of his coat and shaking the moisture from his clothes when he suddenly saw the kneeling figure of Peg. He looked down at her in surprise. She was intent on her prayers. “Hello!" cried the young man. “Frightened, eh?" Peg looked up and saw him staring down at her with a smile on his lips. Inside his coat was her precious little dog. trembling with fear. The terrier barked loudly when he saw his mis- tress. Peg sprang up and clutched Mi- chael away from the stranger just as another blinding flash played around the room, followed by a deafening re- Peg ran across to the door, shout- ing: “Shot 1!: out! Shut it out!” She stood there trembling. covering her eyes with one hand; with the other she held on to the overjoyed Michael. who was whining with glee at seeing her again. The amazed and amused young man closed the windows and the curtains. “Don’t come near the dog. sir! Don’t come near it!” She opened a door and found it led into a little reception room. She fastened Michael with a piece of string to a chair in the room and came back to look again at the stranger. who had evidently rescued her dog from the storm.

Is that where they put Michael?” Once again the lightning flashed vividly. Peg shivered. The stranger reassured her. “Don’t be frightened. It’s only a summer storm.” “Summer or winter, they shrivel me up,” gasped Peg. She looked at the voung man and said in an awestruck voice: ‘ They say if ye look at the sky when the lightnin comes ye can see the king- dom of heaven. An' the sight of it blinds some and kills others-accordin' to the state of grace yen: in.” ““You’re a Catholic?" said the stran- ger. _ _ __. A ‘A. n C n -_ in surprise. Again the lightning lit the room. Peg closed her eyes again and shivered. “Doesn’t it seem he is angry with us for our sins?” she cried. “With me perhapsâ€"not with you.” answered the stranger. VMQ‘Wbat do ye mane by that?” asked Peg. “You don't know What sin is," re- plied the young man. She nodded again, with a quick little smile. “Just plain Peg." “I don’t agree with you.” said the young man. “1 think you are very charming." After a pause he went on, “Who are you?“ “I’m me aunt’s niece,” replied Peg. looking at him furtively, Jerry laughed again. “And who is your aunt?” “M rs. Chi-Stet.” “Whom?” Poor Peg tried again at the absurd mngue tying name. “My aunt is Mrs. Chi-sister.” “Mrs. Chichester?” asked Jerry tn surprise. “That’s it.” said Peg. “How extraordinary!" “Isn‘t It? Ye wouldn’t expect a fine lady like her to have a niece like me, would ye?” " “That isn‘t what I meant.” corrected Jerry. “Yes, it is what ye meant. Don’t tell untruths with the storm ragtn' outside,” replied Peg. “I was thinking that I don’t remem- ber Alaric ever telling me‘that he had such a charming cousin.” “And why that laugh?” queried Jerry. “Oh. do you know Alaric?” asked Peg. with a quick smile. “Very Well." answered Jerry. Peg's smile developed into a long laugh. “I’d like me father to see Alaric. I’d like him just to see Alaric for one min- nit. He’s sich a conceited person.” “I admire your delightful accent.” re- plied Jerry. “Accent is it?” And Peg looked “at him in astonishment. “Sure. I’ve no accent. I just speak naturally. It’s you have the accent to my way or thinkin’.” “Really?” asked the amused Jerry. Peg imitated the young man’s well bred. polished tone: “Wah ye bawn theah?" Jerry laughed lmm0derately.
