midst. The little. timid looking, open
eyed, Titan haired girl was veritable
virago. She attacked and belittled and
mimicked and berated them. They
had talked of her brogue! They should
listen to their own nasal utterances.
that sounded as If they were speaking
with their noses and not with their
tongues! Even the teacher did not go
unscathed. She came in for an on
siaught too. That closed Pegs career
as a New York student.
Her father arranged his work so that
he could be with her at certain perl
Ods of the day and outlined her studies
from his own slender stock of knowl-
edge.
One wonderful day they had an adj
dition to their small family. A little,
wiry haired, scrubby, melancholy Irish
terrier followed O'Connell for miles.
He tried to drive him away. The dog
would turn and run for Il few seconds,
and the moment O'Connell would take
his eyes off him he would run along
and catch him up and wag his over
long tail and look up at O'Connell with
his sad eyes. The dog followed him
all the way home, and when O'Connell
opened the door he ran in. O'Connell
had not the heart to turn him out, so
he poured out some milk and broke up
some dry biscuits for him and then
played with him until Peg came home.
She liked the little dog at once. and
then and there O'Connell adopted him
and gave him to Peg. He said the
dogs face had a look of Michael Quin-
Ian. the Fenian. So Michael he was
named. and he took his place in the
little home. He became Pegs boon
companion. They romped together
like children. and they talked to each
other and 80 stood each other.

Once it was thought cake making
pleasure and instead of having cakes
for holidays and weddings only, we
have them almost daily.
But like everything else, they have
changed; we no longer use twelve to
fourteen eggs and pound of butter
and other things in proportion. -Four
eggs are as many as most of us can
afford for an every day cake and we
make up the deficiency with other
tightening agents.
Butter cakes now depend for their
lightness upon the carbon dioxide gas
that results from the action of heat
on the baking powder and special care
is now given that proportions be pre-
cisely right. Nothing is left to chance
in cake making. The Boston measuring
cup has come to be the standard; it
holds just half pint and when cup
of anything is called for it means that
quantity. A teaspoonful of any dry
ingredient means that the spoon should
be filed so there is just as much above
the bowl as in it; heaping teaspoon
full is a spoon filed twice as high above
the bowl as the depth of the bowl is.
A half a teaspoonful is measured
by dividing the length of the spoon,
not across it. When one knows how to
measure and combine, all fear of failure
disappears.
Experiment cake: 3 cups flour, Y
cup butter, Y cups soft white sugar,
8 eggs, 8 rounding teaspoons baking
powder, / level teaspoon salt. Beat
the yolks and whites of the eggs sep
arately. Blend butter and sugar to-
eethed. Sift -four, salt and baking
powder. Mix all together in deep bowl

violence. He had come under the in
fuence of the more temperate men of
the party and WAS content to win by
legislative means what Ireland had
failed to accomplish wholly by con-

the Irish party in resisting the Eng

of free speech and of meeting to
spread light among the ignorant. had
played in wringing some measure of
recognition and of tolerance from the
English ministers.
What changed 0'Cnunell more par

so called patriots who operated in
many parts of Ireland d--maiming cat

farmers who did not do their bidding
and shooting 1T landlords and promi-

The continual thought that preyed
upon him was that he would have
nothing TO leave her when his call
came. Do what lie would. he could
make but little money. and when he
had small surplus he would spend it
on Peg-a shawl to keep her warm or
ribbon to give a gleam of color to
the drab little clothes.
On great occasions he would buy
her new dress. and then Peg was
the proudest little child in the whole
of Ireland.
Every year on the anniversary of
her mothers death OConneIl had a
mass said for the repose OF Angela's 8
soul. and he would kneel beside Peg
through the service and be silent for
the rest of the day. One year he had
candles blessed by the archbishop lit
on Our Lady's altar. and he stayed long
after the service was over. He sent
Peg home. But. although Peg obeyed
him partially by leaving the church,
she kept watch outside until her fa-
ther came out. He was wiping his
eyes as he saw her. He pretended to
be very angry.

and add favoring. Beat until mixture
is smooth.
This recipe will make one large cake,
or small one, and eight tea cakes. 1t
never fails for the proportions are
right. Sometimes more -four must be
added, as some -four is more moist than
other varieties.
Then there is the matter of baking;
this, too, can be governed by rule.
Layer cakes require from eight to ten
minutes to bake. Sponge cakes need
elweve to fifteen minutes and loaf cakes
longer One must know their oven, it
should not be too hot at first or the
cake will brown before it rises. You
can tell cake is done when it draws
away from side of pan or when a faint
ticking sound is heard.
In filing cake pans take care to have
the mixture come into the corners and
sides, leaving slight depression in cen
ter, then, when the cake rises it will be
perfectly level. Fill tins two thirds full.
