Please don’t!” Jarvis came down the stairs with a pained. not to say mortified. expression on his face. Underneath his left arm he held tightly a shabby little bag and a freshly wrapped up parcel. in his right hand, held far away, from his body, was the melancholy and pic- turesque terrier, Michael. “Where are you going with thoseâ€" things?” she gaSped. “To put them in a cab, madam.” an- swered the humiliated rootman. “Your niece’s orders.” “Put those articles in a traveling bag. Use one of my daughter’s,” or- dered the old lady. “Mr. Kingsnorth expressly stipulat- ed that a year was to elapse before any definite conclusion was arrived at. So far only a month has passed.” “Except under exceptional circum- stances. I consider the circumstances most exceptional." Mrs. Chichester came Into the room and went straight to Jerry. At the same time Alaric burst in through the garden and greeted Jerry and Hawkes.

Aladc tried to comfort her. But the strain or the morning had been too great. He looked cheerfuliy at Jerry and smiled as he said: i “That is a pity. But it doesn’t alter my intention.” “I think we will best carry out Mr. Kingsnorth’s last wishes by making known the conditions or his bequest to Miss O’Connell and then let her decide whether she wishes to abide by them or not.” “To carry out the spirit. at Mr. Kingsnorth‘s bequest." “And what do you consider the spin- it?" Jerry returned Atarlc’s smile as he asked: “You offered to marry her?” 'Alaric nodded. ‘ “Poor little wretch!” Down the stairs came Peg and Ethel.

You have not” Peg suddenly biazed up: “Well. I’ve been made to feel it.” and she glared passionately at her aunt. Peg’s anger gave place to just as sud- den a twinge of regret as she caught sight of Ethel, white faced and star- ing at her compassionately. She went across to Ethel and buried her face on her shoulder and wept as she walled: “Why wasn‘t I told? I’d never have stayed! Why wasn’t I told?” And Ethel comforted her. “Don’t cry. dear,” she whispered. “Don’t. The day you came here we were beggars. You have literale fed and housed us for the last month.” “At least we must respect his inten. dons. He desired that you should be given the advanta, es your mother had when she was a girl. “A thousand pounds a year!” She turned to Jerry and asked: “Does she get a thousand a year for abus’in’ me? Well. what do ye think of that?" cried Peg. gazing curiously at Mrs. Chiches- ter. “A thousand pounds a year for makin‘ me miserable. an' the poor dead man thinkin‘ he was doin’ me a favor!“ - “Sand it was. Indeed. his keenest do. sire just before his death was to atone in some way tor his unkiudness to your mother.” - “Nothin' could do that." and Peg’s lips tightened. “That was why he sent for you.” “Sendin’ for me wonjt bring me poor mother back to life, will it?" “In justice to yourself.” proceeded Jerry, “you must know that he set aside the sum or 151.000 a year to be paid to the lady who would undertake your training." Poor Mrs. Cbichester looked at her daughter reproacbfully. Peg grasped the full meaning of Eth- el’s words: “And will ye have nothin’ it I go away .'" Peg persisted: “Tell theâ€"are ye ralely dependin’ on me? Spake to me. Because if ye are I won’t go. I’ll stay with ye. I wouldn’t see ye beggars for the wnrrld. I’ve been brought up amongst them, an‘ I know what it is." Suddenly she took Ethel by the shoulders and asked in a voice so low that none of the others heard her: Peg sprang up and walked across to her aunt and looked down at her. "Was that the reason ye were goin’ last night?" Ethel tried to st0p her. The truth illumined Ethel's face, and Peg saw it and knew. “Holy Mary!” she cried. “And it was I was drivin' ye to it. Ye felt the insult bf it every time ye met me. as ye said last night. Sure, it I’d known, dear, I’d never have hurt ye, I wouldn’t. Indade I wouldn’t!” She turned to the others. “There, it’s all settled. I’ll stay with ye, aunt, an’ ye can tache me anything ye like. Will some one ask Jarvis to bring back my bundles an’ Michael? I’m goin’ to stay!” “That is just what I would have ex- pected you to do; but, my dear Peg. there’s no' need for such a sacrifice.” Jerry smiled approvingly at her. then he said: “Sure, why not?” cried Peg excited- 3. “Let me sacrifice meselt. I feel like it this minit." - “There is no occasion.” He walked over to Mrs. Chichester and addressed her: “I came here this morning with some Very good news for you. I happen to 3e one of the directors of Gifford’s bank, and I am happy to say that it Will shortly reopen its doors, and all the depositors’ money will be available for them in a little while.” Mrs. Chichester gave a cry Of joy. “Oh. Alaric!” she exclaimed, “My iarling Ethel!” “A panic in American securities. In which we were heavily interested. :ansed the suspension of business.” ex- olained Jerry. “The panic is over. ' “Sure, they don’t want me now. I’d better take me cab. Good day to ye.” And she started quickly for the door. 2 Jerry stopped her. 3 “There is just one more condition of Mr. Kingsnorth’s will that you must know. Should you go through your :ourse of training satisfactorily to the age of twenty-one you will inherit the mm of £5,000 a year.” f “When I’m twenty-one I get £5,000- I year?" gasped Peg. 2 “It you carry out certain conditions.” " “An’ what are they. "' " “Satisfy the executors that you are worthy of the legacy." ; “W3 you?” - ‘ “And Mr. Hawkes.” jPeg looked a: the somewhat uncom» sortable lawyer. . The securities are rising every day. We’ll soon be on easy street again.” Jerry looked at Peg. She caught his in and smiled, but it had a sad wist- ulness behind it. ~\-‘--“\â€".\â€" n.\\ CHRONICLE. “Mr. Hawkesz' ‘ Oh-o! Indade!” we turned back to Jerry. “Did he know about the five thousand? When I‘m twenty-one?” “He drew the will at Mr. Kinca- north’a dictation.” replied Jerry. “Was that why ye wanted me to he engaged to ye until I was twenty-one?” she asked the Manny lawyer. “Did you propose to Miss Margaret?" queried Jerry. “Well.” hesitated the embarrassed lawyerâ€"“in a measureâ€"yea." ' “That’s what it was." cried Peg. with a laugh. “It was very measured. No wonder the men were crazy" to tape me here an' to marry me." Then Jerry spoke to the others. “Now may I have a few. moment alone with my ward?” Peg stared at Jerry Incredulously. “Ward? 13 that me?" “Yes, Peg. I am your legal guardian -appointed by Mr. Kingsnorth.” “Come, come, Miss' O’Coimefl.” said Hawkes. “What nonsense?” “You’re the director or a bank. the executor or an estate. an’ now ye’re me guardian. What do ya do with yer spare time?” Jerry smiled and appealed to the others: “J nst a few secondsâ€"alone.” “Will you write to me?" urged Jerry when he and Peg were alone. “W hat for?” “Peg. my dear!” He took both of her hands in his and bent over her. Had she done so the two lives would have changed in that moment. But the old rebellious spirit came upper- most, and she looked at him defiantly and cried: Just for a moment was Peg tempted to yield to the embrace. That was the one mistake that sep~ arated those two hearts. Sir Gerald drew back from herâ€"hurt. Jarvis came quietly in: “Mr. Hawkes says, miss, it you are going to catch the train”- Peg looked at Jerry’s back turned eloquently toward her as though in rebuke. “Why in the wurrld did I say that to him?" she muttered. “It‘s me Irish tongue.” She went to the door and opened it noisily. rattling the handle loudly, hoping he would look around. Under her breath she murmured: “Goodby, Misther Jerry. an’ God bless ye, an’ thank ye for bein’ so nice to me.” And she passed out. CHAPTER XXVI". After Many Days. RANK O’CONNELL stood on the quay that morning in July and watched the great ship slowly swinging in through the heads, and his heart beat fast as he waited impatiently while they moored her. His little one had come back to him. Amid the throngs swarming down the gangways he suddenly saw his daughter, and he gave a little gasp of surprised pleasure. They reached O’Connell’s apartment. It had been made brilliant for Peg’s return. There were flowers every- wh ere. too?" “I’ll catch it,” said Peg impatiently. and Jarvis went out. In the hall Peg found Ethel and Hawkes waiting for her. They put her between them in the cab, and. with Michael in her arms, she drove through the gates of Regal Villa nev- er to return. “It’s the grand furniture we have now, father!” “Do ye like it, Peg?” “That I do. And it’s the beautiful picture of Edward Fitzgerald ye have on the wall there!" His heart bounded he saw Peg’s face brighten as she ran from one ob- ject to another and commented on them. “I do indade. It’s many’s the tear I’ve shed over him an’ Robert Emme " “Then ye’ve not forgotten?” “Forgotten What?” “All ye learned as a child, an’ we talked of since ye grew to a girl?” “I have not.
