Peg put IN with that Just as long 10
she could. Then ONE day she opened
out on them and astonished them.
They could not have been D amaz
ed had a bomb exploded in their
midst. The little, timid looking. open
eyed, Titan haired girl was q yeritable
virago. She attacked and belittled and
mimicked and berated them. They
had talked Of her brogue: They should
listen to their own nasal u~tterances,
that sounded as II they were speaking
with their noses and not with their
tongues! Even the teacher did not go
unscathed. She came in for an on
slaught too. That closed Pegs career
as a New York student.
Her father arranged his work SO that
he could be with her at certain peri
DDS of the day and outlined her studies
from his own slender stock of kn0wl
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 a 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'Conneli

had not the heart to turn him out, go
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 0'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 understood each other.
The days flowed quietly on, 0iCon
nell apparently satisfied with his lot
But to Pegs sharp eye all was no
well with him. There was d settled
melancholy about him whenever shs
surprised him thinking alone. Shs
thought he was fretting for IRELAND
and their happy days together ard 81

He was really worrying " e Peg,

His other sister, Mrs.. Chichester,
wrote to him from time to time telling

whole difficulty OF Pegs future
NJ was placed in O'Conneil's
hands. But the means were so
dissasteful to him that he hesitated
about NJ telling her.
He came In unexpectedly in the early
afternoon OF that day and found d LETT
ter waiting for him with an English
postmark. Peg had eyed 1t curiously
OF and on for hours. She had turned
1t owe and e In her fingers and
looked at the curious, angular writing
and felt q little cold shiver run up and
down her Al she found herself wonder
ing who could be writing TO her father
from England.
When O'ConneIl walked in and pick
ed the letter up she watched him ex-
citedly. She felt, for some strange rea-
son. that they were going to reach a
crisis In their lives when the seal was
broken and the contents disclosed.
Superstition was strong In Peg. and all,
that day she had been without
reason and excited without cause.
O'C0nnel read the letter through
twice, slowly the first time, quickly the
second. A look Of bewilderment came
across his face as he sat down and
stared at the letter in his hand.
b is 1t from at all2p asked Peg
very quietly. though she was trembling
all through her body.
Her father said nothing.
Presently he read it through again.
*It's from England, father, isn't ftg''
queried Peg, pale al a ghost.
Eyes, Peg" answered her father, ana
his voice sounded hollow and spirit
less.
II didn't know We had friends In Eng
land" said Peg, eying the letter.

O,Connell looked up at her as she
stood there staring down at him. her

OF his and held them all crushed to-
gether for what seemed to Peg to be q
long, long while. She hardly breath

JAPS SEIZE MEXICAN PORT?
Newspaper Man Says Fleet of War
ships are Now at Turtle Bay,
Lower California.

Los Angeles, April 15.-Three Jap
anese warships under command of
Admiral Nakayama, with six Golfers
and supply ships, manned altogether
by about four thousand men, were re-
Gently in Turtle Bay, Lower Califor-
MIA, standing by the stranded Japan
csc cruiser Asama, according to staff
correspondent of the Los Angeles
Times. who has just returned from a
trip of investigation.
Turtle Bay is 400 miles south of San
Diego, Cal, and is said to be the best
harbor north of Magdalena Bay, for
merly the West coast rendezvous of
the United States navy.
No effort is being made to float the
Asama, which the correspondent says
is lying in soft mud at the entrance to
the harbor. This was explained, he
said, by the Japanese officers who
said they were awaiting the arrival of
a great crane ship.
Meanwhile, however, the correspond
ent asserted, Turtle Bay has been
mined by the Japanese, ammunition
has been landed and a large camp
established ashore Preparations also
were made, he added, to land guns
from the Asama.

ANOTHER SEA RAIDER is SAFE
kron Prinz Wilhelm Evades British
Cruisers and Slips Into Port at
Newport News

Newport News. Va, April 1.-THE
German converted cruiser Kron Prinz
Wilhelm, the elusive raider of COM
merce in the south Atlantic, slipped
into this port today and asked for fuel
and provisions.
Many times reported destroyed, the
former North German Lloyd liner had
evaded hostile warships for eight
months while she sent fourteen mer-
chantmen to the bottom. Her officers
said she was forced to steal her way
past four allied cruisers off the Vir-
ginia capes to reach this refuge.
I'VE got in without being seen by
the enemy and we can get out the
same way" declared her commander,
Lieutenant Captain Paul Thierfelder,
formerly navigating officer of the Ger
man cruiser Karlsruhe, in statement
last night.
When she dropped anchor the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm had less than twenty
five tons of coal and scanty provisions
for the crew of 500 men and sixty-one
prisoners from British merchant ships
sunk in the South Atlantic.
