When they parted for the night. with many promises to meet again ere long. O'Connell sat down and wrote Peg a long letter, leaving the choice in her hands. but telling her how much he would like to have her back with him. He wrote the letter again and again and each time destroyed it, it seemed so clumsy. Mrs. Chichester and Marie opened a discussion as to the latter’s business career. The morning after the incident fol- lowing Peg‘s disobedience in going to the dance and her subsequent rebellion and declaration of independence found all the inmates 01 Regal Villa in a most unsettled condition. “Alaric?” she asked in a tone that suggested their fate hung on his an- swer, “Alaric. do you like her?” “Like whom?” “Margaret!

I'll do it to save you and Ethel and the root; course I will. Let me hear it.” “Oh. Alaric! There is a wayâ€"one way that would save us,” said the mother after Alaric suggested going to Canada. And she trembled as she rope. She had England, Scotland and Wales in Germany. and the rest of the map was Ireland. Made me laugh like anything.” “Oh, if you only could!” she sobbed. “Could? What?" “Take that little wayward child into your lite and mold her.” “Here. one moment. mater: let me get the full force of your idea.

Much anxiety was felt a fe W weeks ago by the par- ents. Dr. and Mrs Farquharson, but this tension was removed on learning he was in the hospital. but alive and improving.
