They walked across the lawns
and meadows on that beautiful July
night, with the moon shining down on
them.
Once at the great hall bis mother put
the gauche little Peg at her ease, in.
troduced her to the most charming Of
partners and saw that everything was
done to minister to her enjoyment.
1t was wonderful night for Peg.
She danced every dance. she bad the
supper one with Jerry. she laughed and
sang and romped and was the center
Of all the attention. What might have
appeared boldness in another With Peg
was Just her innocent. willful. child
like nature. She made wonderful
impression that night and became a
general favorite. She wanted it to 60 on
and on and never to stop. When the
last waltz was played and encored and
the ball was really ended Peg felt q
pang Of regret such as she had not felt
for q long, long time.
"Oh. am so happy. so happyr' she
cried as Jerry led her back to her seat

Peg sprung up.
Jerry looked at her as If imploring
her not to anger her aunt any further.
He shook Mrs ChicheSters hand and
said:

He turned and saw Peg deliberate

She just had time to hide the cloak
