Then she looked at Jerry and realized. with something akin to a feeling of pleasure, that he was pleading with her to stay and doing it in such a way as to suggest that it mattered to him.

She made one bound for the t0p stairs and Sprang up them three at a time. At the top she turned and warned him: “Don’t tell any one ye saw me." “I won’t." promised the astonished young man. But their secret was to be short lived As Peg turned Ethel appeared at the top of the stairs, and as she descended. glaring at l’cg. the unfortunate girl went down backward before her. At the same moment Mrs. Chichester and Alaric came in through the dour. They all greeted Jerry warmly. Mrs. Chicnester was particularly gracious. ~- n-- v "So sorry we were out.

She will lunch in her room.” “Oh. but I’ 03 nor a bit tired,” ejacu- lated Peg anxiously. “I‘m not tired at all. an I‘d much rather have lunch down here with Mr. Jerry.” The whole family were aghast. Ethel looked indignantly at Peg. Mrs. Chichester ejaculated, “What?” Alaric. almost struck dumb, fell back upon “Well, I mean to say!” “And you shall go in with Mr. Jer- ry.” said that young gentleman, slip- Ding Peg’s am through his own.

I want to tell ye ye’ ve saved mine.” She put one hand gently on her little stomach and cried, “I am so hungry me soul is hangln’ by a thread.” friends went in search of the dining room. “Disgracefull” ventured Ethel. “Awful!" said the stunned Alaric. “She must be taken in hand at once!” came in firm tones from Mrs. Chiches- ter. “She must never be left alone again. Come quickly before she can disgrace us any further today.” The days that followed were never to be forgotten ones for Peg. Her na- ture was in continual revolt. The teaching of her whole lifetime she was told to correct. Everything she said. everything she looked. everything she did was wrong. Effiey'did {lot remain long. She show- ed either marked incapacity to acquire the slightest veneer of cultureâ€"else it was pure willfnlness. C. A . ‘7 A a wi‘utors wereâ€"engaged to prepare her for the position she might one day en- joy through her dead uncle’s will. The only gleams of relief she had were on the occasions when Jerry vis- ited the family. W henever they could avoid Mrs. Chichester’s watchful eyes they would chat and laugh and play like children. Her letters to her father were at first very bitter regarding her treat- ment by the family. Indeed, so resent- ful did they become that her father wrote to her in reply urging her, it she was so unhappy, to at once return to him on the next steamer. The month she had promised to stay was drawing to an end. But one more day remain- ed. It was to be a memorable one for Peg. Jerry had endeavored at various times to encourage her to study. One day he gave her a large. handsomely bound volume and asked her to read it at odd times and he would examine her in it when she had mastered its contents. She opened it wonderingly and found it to be “Love Stories of the W'orld." It became Peg‘s treasure. She kept it hidden from every one in the house. She made a cover for it out of a piece of cloth. so that no one could see the ornate binding. She would read it at night in her room, by day out in the fields or by the sea. The book was a revelatidn to her. It gave all her im- agination full play. Through its pages treaded a stately procession of king. and queensâ€"Wagnerian heroes and heroines, Shakespearean creations, me lodious in verse. and countless others. All through the month Christian Brent was a frequent visitor. 1f Peg only despised the Chichesters she posi- tively loathed Brent; Peg was wait- ing for a really good chance to find out Mr. Brent’s real character. The op- portunity came. On the night of the last day of the trial month Peg was lying face down- ward on a sofa reading her treasure when she became conscious or some one being in the room watching her. She started up in a panic, instinctively hiding the book behind her. She found Brent staring down at her in open ad miration. Something in the intentness of his gaze caused her to spring to her feet. “The book must be absorbing. What is it?" he asked. Peg faced him. the book clasped in both of her hands behind her back. her eyes flashing and her heart throb- bing. “You mustn’t be angry, child. What is it, eh? Something forbidden?” and he leered knowingly at her. Then he made a quick snatch at the book, say- ing, “Show it me!" Peg ran across the room and, turn‘ ing up a corner of the carpet. put the book under it. turned back the carpet. put her foot determinedly on it and turned again to face her tormentor. Brent went rapidly across to her. The instinct of the chase was quick in his blood. “A hiding place, eh? Now you make me really curious. Let me see.” He again made a movement toward the hidden book. Peg clinched both of her hands into little fists and glared at Brent. while her breath came in quick. sharp gasps. “I love spirit!” cried Brent. Then he looked at her charming dress. at her stylish coill'ure. at the ; simple spray of flowers at her breast. } He gave an ejacmation of pleasure. “What a wonderful change in a month! You most certainly would not be sent to the kitchen now. Do you know you have grown into a most at- tractive young lady? You are really ' delightful angry. And you are angry. I '9‘- “Vl.c--~ aren‘t you?’ And with me. eh? I’m so sorry it I’ve ofi'ended you. Let us kiss and be friends.” He tried to take her in his arms. Peg gave him a re- sounding hox on the ear. The door opened, and Ethel came into the room. Peg hurried out through the win. dows. Brent turned to Ethel. “My dear!” Ethel looked coldly at him. “Why did she run away?” Brent smiled easily and confidently: “I’d surprised one of her secrets. and she flew into a temper. “Secrets?” was all Ethel said. “Yes. See.” He walked across to the corner and turned back the carpet and, kneeling down, searched for the book, found it and held it up trium- phantly. “Here!” He stood up and open- ed the book and read the title page: vj‘fL'ove Stories of the World.’ ‘To Peg from Jerry Ohol” cried Mr. Brent. “Jerry! Eh? No wonder she didn’t want me to see it! Jerry! So that’s how the land lies! Romantic little child!” Ethel looked steadny at him. “Why don’t you go after her?” and she nodded in the direction Peg had Continued on page 7. «++++ f 9 no 0.
