One wonderful day they had an adj

wiry haired. scrubby. melancholy Irish
terrier followed O'Connell for miles
He tried to drive him away. The dog
would turn and run for few seconds,
and the moment O'Connell would take
his eyes off him be would run along

his sad eyes The dog followed him

had not the heart to turn him out. so
he poured out some milk and broke VI
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 O'Connell adopted him
and gave him to Peg. He said the
dogs face had 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

The one bitter hatred of his life had
been against the man who had taken

aspirations

He took no interest in the news.
Now. however. the remembrance of
his trea tment of Angela burnt Into
him. He especially repented OF that
merciless cable. You have made yoTr
bed; lie in it. 1t haunted him through
the long hours of his slow and painful
illness. Had he helped her she might
have been alive today, and those bitter
reflections that ate into him night ami
day might have been replaced by gen
tier ones and so make his end the more
peaceful.
He thought of Angelas child anu
wondered il she We're like his poor
dead sister The wish to see the child
became an obsession with him.

told him to at once institute inquiries

and if so where
This his lawyer did He located
O'Connell in New York through a
friend Of his in the Irish party and

him in rather poor circumstances He
communicated the result of his inQui-
rieS to Kingsnorth. That day letter
was sent to O'COnnell asking him to
allow his child to visit her dying un-

north's expense. and if he would con,
sent the money for the expenses Of
the journey would be cabled immedi-

as Mr.. kingsnorth had very little
longer to live.
When the letter had gone kinysno-th
drew Il breath Of relief He longed to
see the child He would have to wait
impatiently for the reply. Perhaps the
man whom he had hated all his life
would refuse his request If he did
well. he would make some provision in
his will for her in memory OF his dead
sister.
The next day he altered his entire
will and made Margaret O'Connell a
special legacy. Ten days later a cable
came:

FRANK OWEN O'CONNELL.
The lawyer cabled at once. making
all arrangements through their bankers

being disturbed. He awoke refreshed
in the morning. 1t was the first kindly
action he had done for many years.

She wrote him when her son Alaric

to college Alaric seemed to absorb
most of her interest. He was evident

when she did happen to refer to her
she dwelt principally on her beauty
and her accomplishments. Five years

came to Kingsnorth. and on opening
it he found letter from his sister ac-
quainting him with the melancholy
news that Mr.. Chichester had ended

IA whole difficulty Of Pegs future
was placed in OConnell's
hands. But the means were so
distasteful to him that he hesitated
about even telling her.
He came in unexpectedly in the early
afternoon of that day and found let
ter waiting for him with an English
postmark. Peg had eyed it curiously
off and on for hours She had turned
it over and over in her fingers and
looked at the curious. angular writing
and felt little cold SILVER run up and
down her as she found herself wonder
ing who could be writing to her father
from England.
When O'Connell 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 nervous without
reason and excited without cause.
O'Connell read the letter through
twice, slowly the first time, quickly the
second. A look Of bewilderment came
across his face as be sat down and
stared at the letter in his hand.
"Who is it from at ALP" asked Peg
very quietly. though she was trembling
all through her body.

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

to happen to them both
At last O'Connell spoke. and his voice
trembled and broke:
