Ethel," said Peg. a rogulsb look of triumph in her eyes. Down the front of her charming new dress were the marks of Michael’s muddy paws. Peg was also breathing quickly and evidently more than a lit.- tle excited. Peg turned and walked straight out into the garden and began playing with Michael on the grass. “Take that animal out of the room!” cried Mrs. Chichester indignantly the moment Peg appeared. Mrs. Chichester waited for a few moments, then called out to her, “Mar. garet!” then more sharply: “Margaret. come here! Do you hear me?" Peg went on playing with Michael and just answered. “I hear ye.” “Come here at once!” “Can Michael come in. too?” came from the garden. “You cdme in and leave that brute outside!" “It Michael can’t come in I don't want to.” obstinately insisted Peg. “Do as I tell you. Come here!” com- manded her aunt. Peg tied Michael to one of the French Windows and then went slowly into the room and stood facing her aunt. “Look at your dress!” suddenly cried Mrs. Chichester as she caught sight ot the marks of Michael’s playfulness. é‘Michael did that. Sure they’ll come 0 .” Mrs. Chichester looked at the flushed face of the young girl, at the mass of curly hair that had been carefully dressed by Bennett for dinner and was now hovering around her eyes untidily. The old lady straightened it. “Can you- not keep your hair out of your eyes? What do you think will become of you '2” “I hope t6 go to heaven, like all good people." said Peg. â€" Bits. Chichester turned away with a gesture of despair. _ _ ‘- A‘ - ‘ v “What is it?” continued the old lady. “I say what is it?” “What is what?” asked Peg. “Is It that you don‘t Wish to improve? 13 it that?” “I’ll tell you what I think it is.” be- gan Peg helpfully. as it anxious to reach some satisfactory explanation. “I think there’s a little diVfl in me ly- in’ there. an’ every now an’ again he jumps out.” “I didn’t.

Peg laughed suddenly arm then check ed herself quickly. “Aim wh§ did you do that?” asked her aunt severely. “I had a picture or what ye’re goin' to tell him.” V “Why do you constantly disobey me?” pursued the old lady. “I suppose it is the original sin in me.” replied Peg thoughtfully. “What?” cried Mrs. Chichater, again taken completely aback.- “Oh.

Alaric immediately stopped. Ethel tool; absolutely no notice at any one. Peg sat down beside her aunt and ex- plained to net: “Whenever 1 did any- thing willful or difiturmn‘ as a child me father always said it was the ‘on‘g- inal sin’ in me an’ that I wasn't to be punished for it became I couldn’t help it. “Then he used to punish himself for my 153th An’ when 1 saw it hurt'him I useh't to do it againâ€"fur awhile at least. 1 think that was a grand way to bring up a daughter. I've been won- derin' since I've been hereu an aunt could bring a niece up the same why." And she looked quizz'xcahy at Mrs. Chichester. Jarvis came in with a letter on a salver. “Well?“ asked the old lady. “For Miss Cnicbester, madam.” And he handed Ethel the letter. “By hand, scionsiy and opened it. “Wbb is it from?" asked Mrs. cm- Chester. “Mr. Brent." replied Ethel indiffer- ently. “Brent?" cried Alurtc. "‘Wbat on earth does he write :0 you for?" "He wants me to do something to: him.” And she tore the ietter up into the smallest pieces and placed them in a receptacle on the desk. “Come, Alaric.” And Mrs. Chiches. ter left the room after udmonishiug Peg that an hour would be sufficient to sit up. “Let us be honest with each other. Ethel," said Peg when the two girls were left alone. Peg went fight over to her and looked at her compassion- ately. “What do you mean?" said Ethel, with a sudden contraction or her breath: “You like Mr. Brent. don't ye?” So the moment had come. ‘1'he little spy had been watching her. Well. she would fight this common little Irish nobody to the bitter end. All 'he an- ger in her nature surged uppermost as Ethel answered Peg. but she kept her voice under control. “Certainly I like Mr. Brent. He is a very old friend of the family!” “He‘s got a wife?” “He has!” “An' a baby?" "Yesâ€"and a baby." Ethel was not going to betray herself. She would just wait to see what course this crea- ture was going to take with her. They were now seated together. Eth- el holding her little white poodle. at which Peg pointed coutemptuously. Peg went on: “Of course I’ve never seen the wife or the baby because he never seems to have them with him when he calls here. But I‘ve often heard Alan-1c ask afther them." “Well?" asked Ethel coldly. “Is it usual for English husbands with babies to kiss other women's hands?” And Peg looked swiftly at her cousin. Ethel took the letter quite uncon- Ethel checked an outburst and said quite calmly: “It is a véry old and a very respect- ed custom.” “The divil doubt it but It‘s am. I‘m not so sure about the respect. Why doesn’t he kiss me aunt’s band as well?” - Ethel could not control herself much longer. It was becoming unbearable. As she crossed the room she said with as little heat as possible: “You don’t understand.” “Well, but I’m thryin' to,” persisted Peg. “That's why I watch ye all the‘ time.” Ethel turned. She was now at bay. “You watch me?" “Aren‘t ye me model?" “It’s contemptiblel” cried Ethel. “Sure 1 only saw the me an' re- spected custom’ by accidentâ€"when I came in through there a month agoâ€"â€" an’ once since when I came in again by accidentâ€"a few days aftherward. Peg interrupted: “Why. I never saw ye excited beforeâ€"not a bit of color in yer cheeks till nowâ€"except twice! Ye look just as ye did when Mr. Brent followed that old an’ respected cus- ,tom on yer band.” cried Peg. The 1 yonng girl’s eyes were ablaze. How I couldn’t help seein' it both times. An’, as for bein’ coutemptible. I’m not so sure the custom doesn’t deserve all the contempt." Ethel was now thoroughly amused. “I suppose it is too much to expect that a child or the common people should understand the customs 0! de- cent peeple.” “Mebbe it IS.” replied Peg. “But I don’t see why the common people should have all the. decency an' the aristocracy none.” “It is impossible to talk to you. I was foolish to have stayed here. You don‘t understand. You never could understand”â€" m DURHAM CHRONICLE. Viv‘iény ‘she remembered {he eventful scene that confronted be: when she first arrived at the Chichester home days before! Ethel answered this time. excitedly and mdignantly. giving full and tree vent to her just anger: “Be good enough never to speak to me a vain as long as yours in this house. If I had my way you’d leave it this moment. As it is-as It is”â€" Her yoice rose almost to a scream. Her rage was unbridled. ‘Vhat. more she might have said was checked by the door opening and Jar- Vis showing in Jerry. Jerry walked cheerfuny and smiling- ly into the room and was amazed to find the two young ladies glaring at each other and apparently in the midst of a confiivt. All power or speech left him as he stood looking in amazement at the combatants. CHAPTER XXII. The Temple of Friendship. “ CAME over to ask Mrs. Chiches I ter’s permission for you run young ladies to go to a dance to night. It’s just across from here at the Assembly rooms," said Jerry. Peg beamed joyfully. It was just what she wanted to do. Ethel viewed the suggestion differently. “It’s very kind of you," she 8316 “but it’s quite impossible.” “0h!” ejaculated Peg. “Impossible?” ejaculated Jerry. “I‘m sorry." and Ethel went to the door. “So am I." replied Jerry regretfully. “I would have given you longer notice only it was made up on the spa: of the moment. Don’t you think you could?” “I don't care for dancing. Besides my head aches." “What a pity!" exclaimed the disap pointed young man. Then he said ea gerly, “Do you suppose your meme: would allow Miss Margaret to go?” “I’ll ask her." and Ethel left the room. Peg ran across. stopped the (3001 from closing and called after Ethel: “I didn‘t mean to hurt yeâ€"indude I didn‘t. I wanted to talk to yeâ€"Lnat was allâ€"an' ye made me angry.” Ethel disappeared Without even turning net head. Peg came Into the room ruefully and sat down on the sofa. She was thor- oughly unhappy. Jerry looked at her a moment, walk. ed over to her and asked her. “What’s the matter?" “One of us girls has been brought up all wrong.‘ I tried to make friends with her just now an’ only made he: angry, as I do every one in this house whenever I open my mouth.” , “Aren’t you friends?" “Indadeâ€"indadeâ€"indadeâ€"we’re not. None of them are with me." “What a shame!” “Wait until you hear what me aunt says when ye ask a her about the dance?’ “Don‘t you think she’ll let you go?” “No, I do not." She looked at him quizzically for a moment. Then she burst out laughing. “Misther Jerry, will ye take me all the same if me aunt doesn‘t consent?" “Why, Peg“- he began astonishedly. “But I haven‘t got an evemn' drew Does it matter?” “Not in the least. but”â€" “Will this one do?" “It’s very charming; still”- “Stains and all ?” “My dear Peg”- “Perhaps they’ll rub out.

At least I hoped he would. v â€"_U _ an’ ye’ve come!” Suddenly she broke out passionately: “0h, ye must take me! Ye must: I haven’t had a hit of pleasure since I’ve been here. It will be wondherful. Besides, I would not rest all night with you dancln‘ over there an’ me a prisoner over here.” “Now, Peg”â€" he tried to begin. “It’s no use, 1 tell ye. Ye’ve got to take me. Are you ashamed of me be- cause I’m ignorant? Are ye?” “Not a bit." replied Jerry heartily. “I was just the same at your age.
