"Mr Hawkes.! Ohio! Indader' She
turned back TO Jerry Did he know
about the five thousand? When I'm
twenty-one?"
HE drew the will at Mr.. Kings
north's dictation," replied Jerry.
WAS that why ye wanted me to be
engaged to We until l was twenty-one?"
she asked the unhappy lawyer.
Come, come. Miss O'Connell." said
Hawkes.. What nonsense"
did you propose to Miss Margaret?"
queried Jerry.
WELL" hesitated the embarrassed
lawyer-'in a measure-yes-"
"Thats what it was" cried Peg, with
a laugh. 1T was very measured. No
wonder the men were crazy to kape
me here an to marry me-"
Then Jerry spoke to the others. Now
may l have a few moment alone with
my ward?''
Peg stared at Jerry incredulously.
"Ward? Is that me?"
Eyes, Peg. | am your legal guardian
appointed by Mr.. Kingsnorth."
you're the director OF Il bank. the
executor of an estate. an now ye're me
guardian. What do We do with yer
spare time?"
Jerry smiled and appealed to the
others:
Just q few secOndS-alOne."
"Will you write TO me?' urged Jerry
when be and Peg were alone
"What for?'
"Peg, my dearr' He took both of
her hands in his and bent over her.
Just for a moment was Peg tempted
to yield to the embrace.
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 defantly
and cried:
care you goin' to propose to me
too?"
That was the one mistake that sep
arated those two hearts. Sir Gerald
drew back from her-hurt.
Jarvis came quietly in:
"Mr Hawkes. says, miss, if you are
going to catch the train
'I'll catch it." said Peg impatiently.
and Jarvis went out.
Peg looked at Jerry's back turned
eloquently toward her as though in
rebuke.
"Why in the wurrld did l say that
to him?" she muttered "Its me Irish
tongue" She went to the door and
opened it noisily, rafting the handle
loudly, hoping he would look around.
Under her breath she murmured:
"Goodby, Misther Jerry, an God
bless We, an thank We for bein' so nice
to me-" And she passed 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 new
er to return.

CHAPTER XXVlll.
After Many Days.

W%RANK O'CONNELL stood on the
~ quay that morning in July ana
watched the great ship slowly
swinging in through the heads,
and his heart beat fast as he waited
impatientIy 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 Pegs
return. There were flowers every
where.
His heart bounded ~ he saw Pegs
face brighten as she ran from one OBJ
iect to another and commented Oh
them.
"Its The grand furniture we have
now, father
do We like it, Peg?"

picture of Edward Fitzgerald We have
on the wall there!
"Ye mind how used to rade ye his

I've shed over him an Robert Emmett"
"Then we've not forgotten?'

"All We learned as a child, an we

"What would be dom forgettin' the

He raised the Uttered sheets Of his
manuscript and showed them to her.

She looked over her shoulder and
read

She looked up proudly at her father

Didn't they want We any longer?"
I'm one way they did an in another
they didn't It's long history-that S
what it is. Let us sit down here as we
used to in the early days an I'll tell
We the whole o. the Happenings since ]
left ye."
She softened some things and omit
ted others-Ethel entirely. That cpl.
sode should be locked forever in Pegs
heart.
Jerry she touched on lightly.
There's one thing, Peg, that must
part us some day when it comes to
you" he finally said.
"What's that, father?"
"Love. Peg"

by the trembling of her little body that
she was crying.

The cry Of youth and the call Of life

IMPROVE HOME GROUNDS

Now is the time to clean up about
the yard and lawn. All dead parts
of vines and shrubbery should be re-
moved, the fence Strengthened up if
need be, flower beds laid out and made,
and perhaps few shade trees planted.
Native trees especially those grown in
the rather open places often thrive
best and make the most desirable
shade trees. In case lawn is to be
started this spring it should be done
without further delay. A desirable
lawn grass mixture for one acre can
be made by mixing AZ pounds of pure
Kentucky blue grass seed, pounds of
Red Top and 8 pounds Of White Clo-
yer. Rake the seed in we'll and roll
lightly. Probably there are worn or
bare spots on the lawn that need re-
pairing. Cover such areas with an
inch or two of well rotted manure,
spade deeply, stamp lightly, and sow
with lawn seed. Rake well and roll.
If possible, these areas should be kept
moist.
