Larsen Directs Few Hot Shots
at City Engineer Mayor in
Role of Peacemaker

The tW0-hour meeting OF the super
yisors last night was spent In discus
sion OF routine business and was fea-
tared by q pointed "bawling-out" by
Supervisor Larsen directed at City En-
eineer Whitehouse. Supervisors
Quinn, Larsen and HoIlinger also came
together in a clash when the latter's
proposed automobile tag ordinance
came up. In the latter controversy
Mayor Lane acted as the peacemaker
and settled the argument by securing
passage OF the first reading Of the
measure, thus satisfying Hollinger,
and then referring the measure to .

Larsen.

PROLOGUE.

A romring, madcap, bewitch-
ing Irish girl, as Irish as ST. Pat
rick's day in the morning, is
turned over to the care of aris-
tocratic English relatives. They
are stiff and artificial, and she
is as sweet and natural as a
healthy country girl can be-.
They dislike her, but Peg holds
her own with jaunty pride and in
the end, by her generosity and
big heartedness, wins them over,
ana, whaf is more, wins her for
tune, and, what is still more, wins
a very gallant lover. This, in
brief is the story of a play
which by its originality, Sweet
ness and charm has been n of
the most phenomenal successes
View York has seen in a long
time. The author of the play
has turned it into a novel, so
sympatheticazzy, so brilliantly,
that Peg as a heroine of fiction
rs as zovable as she was on the
stage.

ly Ethel reached the breaking point.
She slipped from Pegs arms to the
chair and on to the floor and lay quite
still.
Peg knelt down beside her:
She's tainted. Give her air."
Peg loosened Ethel's dress and talked
to her all the while. and Jerry and
Alaric hurried out in different direc-
tons in quest Of restoratives.

her hand locked in both Of Pegs.
One thing Peg had r~esolved-she
would not spend another night in the
| Chichester home.
Her little heart was bruised and
sore. The night had begun so happily;
it had ended so wretchedly.
And to think the one person in whom
she trusted had been just amusing
himself with her. leading her to be-

time he was d man of breeding and of

Poor Peg felt so Inundated hat she
made up her mind she would never
see him again.
In the morning she would go back
to the n real affection OF her life
to the man who never hurt or disap-
pointed her-her father.

We will now leave Peg for awhile
and return to one who claimed so
much of the readers attention in the
early pages OF his history-O'ConneIl.
1t had not been a happy month for
him.
He felt the separation from Peg
keenly. AT first he was almost in
consolable.
The days passed slowly until Pegs
first letter came. 1t contained the
news OF Kingsnorth's death-Peg's en-
trance into the Chichester family, her
discomfort, her longing to be back
once more in New York. This was
followed by more letters, all more or
less in the same key. Finally he wrote
urging her to give it all up and come
back to him. He would not have his
little daughter tortured for all the adj
Vantages those people could give her.
Then her letters took on a different
aspect. They contained q curious half
note of happiness in them. No more
mention Of returning. On the con-
trary, Peg appeared to be making the
best of the conditions in which she
was placed.
These later letters set O'Connell Won

That Peg was developing her char
acter and her nature during those few
weeks was clear to O'Connell. The
whole tone of her letters had changed.
But no word Of hers gave him any
clew to the real state Of her feelings
until one day he received a letter al
most entirely composed OF descriptions
OF the appearance. mode Of speech,
