Great Play of the Same NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

PROLOGUE.

A romring, madcap, bewitch-
ing Irish girl, as Irish as St. Pat
vick's day in the morning, is
turned oyer TO the care of aris-
tocratic English relatives. Thew
are stiff and artificial, and she
is as sweet and natural as q
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, what rs more, wins her for
tune, and, what is still more, wins
a very gallant lover. This, in
6r1et is the story of a play
which by its originality, sweet
ness and charm has been n of
the most phenomenal successes
Ven York has seen in a long
time. The author of the play
has turned it into a novel, so
sympatheticaHy, so brilliantly,
that Peg as a heroine of fiction
rs as zovable as she vas on the
stage.

looked at the strange family. Mrs.
Chichester was sobbing. And me-his

Alaric was moving restlessly about.

Ethel was looking i%ntently at Pets

must not on any account visit her

Mrs. Chichester, with despair in ev-
cry tone, replied. Il have..'
Thank yc," said Peg, bobbing an
other little courtesy.
Mrs. Chichester gaZed at Peg and
covered her eyes with her hand as if
to shut out some painful sight.
Peg looked at Mrs. Chichester and at
the significant action. There was no
installing its significance. 1t convey-
ed dislike and contempt so plainly that
Peg felt it through her whole nature.
She turned to Alaric and found him re-
Garding her as though she were some
strange animal. Ethel did not deign
Hawkes.:
II can't stay here"
"Why not:' asked the lawyer.
I'D be happier with me father said
Peg.
You'll be quite happy here-quite."
"We're not wanted here. Michael!'
she murmured.
The terrier looked up at her and then
buried his head under her arm as
though ashamed.
Jarvis came in response to the ring
at that moment, bearing a panied, mar
tyr-like expression on his face.
Mrs. Chichester directed him to take
away Pegs parcels and the dog.
Peg frightenedly clutched the terrier.
"Oh, no, ma'am," she pleaded. "PlaZe
lave Michael with me. Don't take him
away from me-"
Take it away commanded Mrs.
Chichester severely, and never let it
inside the house again."
Wei if We don't want him inside
yer house We don't want me inside yer
house." Peg snapped back.
Hawkes. pleaded.
Mo- said Peg firmly. Il will not
give him up"
The lawyer tried again to take the
dog from her. Come, Miss O'Connell:
you really must be reasonable"
Il don't are about being reasona
BILE" replied Peg. michael was given
to me by me father, an he's not very
big, an he's not a watchdog: he's a pet
dog-an' look" She caught sight of
Ethel's little poodle. and. with a cry Of
self justification, she said:
See. she has a dog in the house
right here in the house. Look at it!'
And she pointed to where the little
ball Of white wool lay sleeping on Eth
els lap. Then Peg laughed heartily.
II didn't know what it was until 1t

Jarvis in distress, but there was moth

Another such mistake and you can
leave my employment" Mrs. Chiches-
ter added severely.
Jarvis pleaded p%iteously:

The wretched Jarvis departed on his
GRAND. muttering to himself: wait
until they See her. Who in the world
could tell she was their relation?'
Mrs. Chichester was very angry.
Its monstrous!. she exclaimed.
%"Stoopid!" agreed Alaric. "Doocid
stoopid."
Ethel said nothing. The one thought
that was passing through her mind
was, How much did that girl hear
Brent say. and how much did she see
Mr.. Brent do"
Hawkes. tried to smooth the misun-
J derstanding out.
81 am afraid it was all my fault" he
explained. II told her not to talk-just
to say that she was to wait. l want

"She should have been brought
straight to me-" complained Mrs. Chi
chester. The poor thing" Then with
a feeling of outraged pride she said:

mistaken for a servant"
The door opened and Jarvis came
into the room. There was n look OF

liberately to Mr.. Hawkes.. who by this
tin had disposed of all his documents
n was preparing to go. A look in
Mrs. Chichester's face stopped him.
He smiled at her.
"Well?" he asked.
For the sake Of the memory OF
my dead sister, l will do as Nathaniel
wished" said Mrs. Chichester, with
great dignity and self abnegation.
Mr.. Hawkes. breathed a sigh of re-
lief.
"Good!" he said. I'm delighted. 1t
is splendid. Now that you have decid-
ed so happily there is one thing more
must tell you. The young lady is not
to be told the conditions of the will

tors should some crisis arise. She will
De to all intents and purposes-your
guest. In that way we may be able
TO arrive at a more exact knowledge
or her character. Is that understood?''
The family signified severally and
collectively that it was.
And now" beamed the lawyer. hap
py at the fortunate outcome of a sit
uatlon that a few moments before
seemed so strained, where is YOUR
bell?"
Alaric indicated the bell.
May ring?' asked the lawyer.
Certainly replied Alaric.
Mr.. Hawkes. rang.
Alaric watched him c%uriously. Want
a sandwich or something's"
Hawkes. smiled benignly on the un-
fortunate family and rubbed his hands
together self satistiedly.
Now | would like to send for the
young lady-the h~eiress."
Where is she?' asked Mrs. Chichcs-
ter.
She arrived from New York this
morning, and | brought her straight
here. | had to call on a client, so |
gave her your address and told her to
come here and wait"
At the word wait an uneasy feel
ing took possession of Ethel. That was
the word used by that wretched little
creature who had so rudely intruded
! upon her md Brent. Could it be DOS
sible-
The footman entered at that mo.
ment.
The lawyer questioned him.
is there a young lady waiting for
Mr.. Hawkes?"
"A young lady. sir? No, sir" an.
swered Jarvis.
MI. Hawkes. was puzzled. What in
the world had become of her? He told
the cabman distinctly where to go.
Jarvis opened the door to 90 out
when a thought suddenly occurred to
him. He turned back and spoke to the
lawyer:
There's a young person sitting in
the kitchen-came up and knocked al
the door and said she had to wait un.
til a gentleman called. Can't get moth.
ing out CT her"
Hawkes. frightened up.
THAT must be Miss O'Connell," he
tsaid. He turned to Mrs. Chichester
and asked her if he might bring the
young lady in there.
MY niece in the Kitchen" said Mrs
Chichester to the unfortunate footman
Surely you should know the differ

to say: Now. who would not make a
mistake like that? Who could tell this
girl was Jour niece"
He beckoned Peg to come into the
room.
Then the Chichester family received
the second shock they had experienced
that day-one compared with which
the failure Of the bank paled into in
significance. When they saw the
strange, shabby. red haired girl SLOUGH
into the room with her parcels and that
d~isgraceful looking dog they felt the
hand of misfortune had indeed fallen
upon them.
AS Peg wandered into the room Mrs.
Chichester and Alaric looked at her in
Mortified a~maZement.
Ethel took one swift glance at her
and then turned her attention to Pet.
Jarvis looked reproachfully at Mrs.
Chichester as much as to say, What
did I tell you?" and went out.
Alaric whispered to his mother:
"Oh, 1 say, really, you know-it isn't
true. 1t can't be-"
Pet suddenly saw Michael and began
to bark %furiously at him. Michael re-
sponded vigorously until Peg quoted
him.
At this juncture Mr.. Hawkes. came
forward and. taking Peg gently by the
arm, treasured her by saying:
Come here, my dear. Come here.
Don't be frightened. We're all your
friends"
He brought Peg over to Mrs. Chi
chester. who was staring at her with
tears OF modification in her eyes.
When Pegs eyes met her aunt's she
bobbed a little courtesy she used to do
as a child whenever she met some Of
the gentlefolk.
Mrs. Chichester went cold when she
saw the gauche act. Was it possible
that this creature was her sister An
gela's child? 1t seemed incredible.
what is our name?" she asked
sternly.
Peg, ma'am."
"VVhat?:"
"Sure, me names Peg. ma'am," and
she bobbed another little courtesy.
Mrs. Chichester closed her eyes and
shivered. She asked Alaric to ring.
AS that young gentleman passed Ethel
on his way to the bell he said: at
can't really be true. Eth. Ethel"
Quaint" was all his sister replied.
Hawkes. genially drew Pegs atten-
ton to her aunt by introducing her:
"This lady is Mrs. Chichester-your
aunt" Peg looked at her doubtfully
a moment. then turned to Hawkes. and
asked him:
where's me uncle?'
"Alas. my dear child. your uncle is
dead!'
Dead" exclaimed Peg in surprise.
"Afther sendin' for me?"
HE died just before you sailed"
added Hawkes..
God rest his SOUL" said Peg piously.
"Sure, if I'd known that I'd never have
come at all. Pm too late, then. Good
day to ye." and she started for the
door.
Mr.. Hawkes. stopped her.
"Where are you going?"
"Back to me father"
"Oh. nonsense!"
But / must go back to me father
if me uncle's dead"
ut was Mr.. K~ingsnorth's last wish
that you should stay here under your
aunt's care. SO she has kindly con-
scented to give you a home"
