CHAPTER VIII.
For th

had changed very
much sinc day St Ker
uau's hil As wa
on ed earlier, he no longer urged
violence He had come under the in
fluence of the more temperate men of
the party and was content to win by
legislative means what Ireland had
failed to accomplish wholly by con
flict, although no one recognized more
thoroughly than O'Connell what a
large part the determined attitude of
the Irish party in resisting the Eng
lish laws, depriving them of the right
of free speech and of meeting to
spread light among the ignorant, bad
played in wringing some measure of
recognition and of tolerance from the
English ministers.
What changed O'Connell more par
ticularly was the action of a band of
so called "patriots" who operated in
many parts of Ireland—maiming cat
tle, ruining crops, injuring peaceable
farmers who did not do their bidding
and shooting at landlords and promi
nent people connected with the govern
ment
He avoided the possibility of Im
prisonment again for the sake of Peg.
What would befall her if he were tak
en from herV
The continual thought that preyed
upon him was that he would have
nothing to leave her when his call
came Do what he would, he could
make but little money, and when he
had a small surplus he would spend it
on Peg—a shawl to keep her warm or
a ribbon to gi\e a gleam ot color to
the drab little clothes
On great occasions he would buy
her a new dre^s, and then Peg was
the proudest little child in the whole
of Ireland.
Every year on the anuivetsary of
her mother's death O'Connell had a
mass said tor the repose of Angela's
soul, and be would kneel beside Peg
through the service and be silent for
the rest of the day. One year he had
candles blessed by the archbishop lit
on Our Lady's altar, and he stayed long
after the service was over He sent
Peg home. But, although Peg obeyed
him partially by leaving the church,
she kept watch outside until her fa
ther came out He was wiping bis
eyes as he saw ber. He pretended to
be very angry
"Didn't I tell ye to go home?"
"Ye did. father"
"Then why didn't ye obey me?"
"Sure an' what would 1 be doln' at
home, all alone, without you? Don't
be cross with me. father
He took her hand, and they walked
home in silence He had been crying,
and Peg could not understand it. She
had ne\er seen him do such a thing be
fore, and It woiried her It did not
seem right that a man should cry. It
seemed a weakness, and that her fa
ther of all men should do it, he who
was not afraid of anything or any one.
was wholly unaccountable to her.
When they reached home Peg busied
herself about her father, trying to
make him comfortable. turti\ ely watch
ing him all the while When she bad
put him in an easy chair and brought
bim bis slippers and built up the Are
she sat down on a little stool by bis
side After a long silence she stroked
the back of bis band and then gave
him a little tug. He looked down at
her.
"What is It. Peg?"
"Was my mother very beautiful, fa
ther?"
"The most beautiful woman that
ever lived In all the wurrld. Peg
"She looks beautiful in the picture
ye have of her
From the inside pocket of his coat
be drew out a little beautifully paint
ed miniature. The frame bad long
since been worn and frayed O'Con
nell looked at the face, and his eyes
shone.
"The man that painted it couldn't
put the soul of her into it. That he
couldn't not the soul of her."
"Am I like her at all. father?" asked
Ppg wistfully.
"Sometimes ye are, dear, very like."
After a little pause Peg said:
"Ye loved her very much, father,
didn't ye?"
He nodded. "I loved her with all
the heart of me and all the strength of
me."
Peg sat quiet for some minutes then
she asked him a question very quietly
and hung in suspense on his answer:
"Do ye love me as much as ye loved
her, father?"
"It's different. Peg, quite, quite dif
ferent"
"Whytsltr She waited.
He did not answer.
"Sure, love Is love whether ye feel
it for a woman or a child." she per
sisted.
O'Connell remained silent
"Did ye love her betther than ye
love me, father?" Her soul was in her
great blue eyes as she waited excitedly
for the answer to that to her, momen
tous question.
"Why do ye ask me that?" said
O'Connell.
"Because I always feel a little sharp
pain right through my heart whenever
ye talk about me mother. Te see, fa
ther. I've thought all these years that
1 was the one ye really loved"—
"Ye're the only one I have in the
wurrld. Peg."
"And ye don't love her memory bet
ther ihan ye do me?"
O'Connell put both of his arms
around her.
"Yer mother is with the saints, Peg,
and here are you by me side. Sure
there's room in me heart for the mem
ory of her and the love of you."
She breathed a little sigh of satis
faction and nestled on to her father's
shoulder. The little fit of childish jeal
ousy of her dead mother's place in her
father's heart passed.
She wanted no one to share her fa
ther's affection with her. She gave him
all of hers. She needed all of his.
When Peg was eighteen years old
and they were living in Dublin. O'Con
nell was offered quite a good position
in New York. It appealed to him.
The additional money would make
things easier for Peg. She was almost
a woman now, and he wanted her to
get the finishing touches of education
that would prepare her for a position
in the world if she met the man she
felt she could marry. Whenever he
would speak of marriage Peg would
laugh scornfully:
"Who would 1 be afther marryin', I'd
like to know? Where in the wurrld
would I find a man like you?"
And no coaxing would make ber car
ry on the discussion or consider its
possibility.
It still harassed him to think he bad
so little to leave ber if anything hap
pened to him The offer to go to Amer
ica seemed providential. Her mother
was buried there. He would take Peg
to her grave.
Peg grew very thoughtful at the idea
of leaving Ireland. All her little likes
and dislikes, her impulsive affections
and hot hatred, were bound up in that
country She dreaded the prospect of
meeting a number of new people.
Still, it was for ber father's good, so
she turned a brave face to it and said:
"Sure it is the finest thing in the
wurrld for both of us."
But the night before they left Ire
land she sat by the little window in
ber bedroom until daylight looking
back through all the years of her short
life.
It seemed as if she were cutting off
all that beautiful golden period. She
would never again know the free, care
less, happy-go-lucky, living from day
to day existence that she bad loved so
much.
It was a pale, wistful, tired little
Peg that joined her father at break
fast next morning.
His heart was heavy too. But he
laughed and joked and sang and said
how glad they ought to be—going to
that wonderful new country and, by
the way. the country Peg was born in
too! And then be laughed again and
said how fine she looked and how well
he felt and that it seemed as if it were
God's hand in it all.
And Peg pretended to cheer up, and
they acted their parts right to the end
-until the last line of land disappear
ed and tbey were beaded for America
Then they separated and went to their
little cabins to think of all that bad
been And every day they kept up the
little deception with each other until
they reached America.
They were cheerless days at first for
O'Connell. Everything reminded him
of his first landing twenty years be
fore with his young wife—both so full
of hope, with the future stretching out
like some wonderful panorama before
them. He returns twenty years older
to begin the fight again—this time for
his daughter.
His wife was buried in a little Cath
olic cemetery a few miles outside New
York city. There he took Peg one day,
and they put flowers on the Httle
mound of earth and knelt awhile in
prayer. Beneath that earth lay not
only his wife's remains, but O'Con
nell's early hopes and ambitions were
buried with her
Neither spoke either going to or re
turning from the cemetery. O'Con
nell's heart was too full. Peg knew
what was passing through his mind
and sat with her bands folded in ber
lap—silent. But her little brain was
busy thinking back
Peg had much to think of during the
early days following her arrhal in
New York At first the city awed her
with its huge buildings and ceaseless
whirl of activity and noise She long
ed to be back in her own little green,
beautiful country
O'Connell was away during those
first days until late at night
He found a school for Peg. She did
not want to go to it, but just to please
her father she agreed She lasted in it
just one week They laughed at hor
brogue and teased and tormented her
for her absolute lack of knowledge
peg put up with that just as long as
she could. Then one day she opened
out on them and astonished them.
They could not have been more amaz
ed( had a bomb exploded in their
midst The little, timid looking, open
eyed, Titian haired girl was a veritable
virago. She attacked and belittled and
mimicked and berated them. They
had talked of her brogue! Tbey should
listen to their own nasal utterances,
that sounded as if 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 Peg's career
as a New York student
Her father arranged his work so that
he could be with her at certain peri
ods of the day and outlined her studies
from his own slender stock of knowl
edge.
One wonderful day they had an ad
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 few seconds,
and the moment OTJonnell would fake
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'Connell
opened the door he ran in. O'Connell
had not the heart to turn him out, so
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 O'Connell adopted him
and gave him to Peg. He said the
dog's face had a look of Michael Quin
tan, the Fenian. So Michael he was
named, and he took his place in the
little home. He became Peg's boon
companion. They romped together
like children, and they talked to each
other and understood each other.
The days flowed quietly on, O'Con
nell apparently satisfied with his lot.
But to Peg's sharp eye all was not
well with him. There was a settled
melancholy about him whenever she
surprised him thinking alone. She
thought he was fretting for Ireland
and their happy days together and so
said nothing.
He was really worrying over Peg's
future. He had such a small amount
of money put by, and working on a
salary it would be long before he
could save enough to leave Peg suffi
cient to carry her on for awhile if
"anything happened." There was al
ways that "if anything happened" run
ning in his mind.
CHAPTE IX.
Peg's Future.
ONE
day the chance of solving the
whole difficulty of Peg's future
was placed in O'Connell'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 a 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 a little cold shiver 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 he sat down and
stared at the letter in his hand.
"Who is it from at all?" 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 it?"
queried Peg. pale as a ghost.
"Yes, Peg," answered her father, and
his voice sounded hollow and spirit
less.
"I didn't know ye had friends in Eng
land," said Peg. eying the letter.
"I haven't" replied her father.
"Then who is it from?" insisted Peg,
now all impatience and with a strange
fear tugging at her heart.
O'Connell looked up at her as she
stood there staring down at him. her
big eyes wide open and her lips part
ed. He took both of her hands in one
of his and held them all crushed to
gether for what seemed to Peg to be a
long, long while. She hardly breath
ed. She knew something was going
to happen to them both.
At last O'Connell spoke, and his voice
trembled and broke:
"Peg, do ye remember one mornin',
5 ears an' years ago, when I was go
in' to speak in County Mayo, an' we
started in the cart at dawn, an' we
thraveled for miles an' miles, an' we
came to a great big crossin' where
the roads divided an' there was no
signpost, an' we asked each other
which one we should take, an' we
couldn't make up our minds, an' I left
it to you, an' ye picked a road, an' it
brought us out safe and thrue at the
spot we were makin' for? Do you re
member it. Peg?"
"Faith I do, father. I remember it
well. Ye called me yer little guide
and said ye'd follow my road the rest
of yer life. An' it's many's the laugh
we had when I'd take ye wrong some
times afterward." She paused. "What
makes ye think of that just now, fa
ther?"
He did not answer.
"Is it on account o' that letther?" she
persisted
"It is, Peg." He spoke with difficul
ty, as if the words hurt bim to speak
"We've got to a great big crossin'
place again where the roads branch
off, an' I don't know which one to
take."
"Are ye goin' to lave it to me again,
father?" said Peg.
"That's what I can't make up me
mind about, dear, for it may be that
ye'll go down one road and me down
the other."
"No, father," Peg cried passionately,
"that we won't Whatever the road
we'll thravel it together."
"I'll think it out by meself, Peg.
Lave me for awhile—alone. I want to
think it out by meself—alone."
"If it's separation ye're thinkin' of
make up yer mind to one thing—that
I'll never lave you. Never!"
"Take Michael out for a spell and
come back in half an hour, and in the
meanwhile I'll bate it all out in me
mind."
She bent down and straightened the
furrows in his forehead with the tips
of her fingers and kissed him and then
whistled to the wistful Michael, and
together they went running down the
street toward the little patch of green
where the children played and among
whom Michael was a prime favorite.
Sitting, his head in his hands, his
eyes staring into the past O'Connell
was facing the second great tragedy
of his life.
While O'Connell sat there in that lit
tle room in New York trying to decide
Peg's fate a man who had played
some considerable part in O'Connell's
life lay in a splendidly furnished room
hi a mansion in the west end of Lon
don—dying.
Nathaniel Kingsnorth's twenty years
of loneliness and desolation were com-
ing to an end. What.an empty, arid
stretch of time those years seemed to
him as he feebly looked back on them!
After the tragedy of his sister's reck
less marriage he deserted public life
entirely and shut himself away in his
country house, except for a few weeks
in London occasionally when his pres
ence was required on one or another of
the boards of which he was a director.
The Irish estate, which brought about
all his misfortunes, he disposed of at
a ridiculously low figure. He said
he would accept any bid, however
small, so that he could sever all con
nection with the hated village.
Fiom the day of Angela's elopement
he neither saw nor wrote to any mem
ber of his family.
His other sister, Mrs. Chichester,
wrote to him from time to time telling
him one time of the birth of a boy,
two years later of the advent of a
girl.
Kingsnorth did not answer any of
her letters.
In no way dismayed Mrs. Chiches
ter continued to write periodically.
She wrote him when her son Alaric
went to school and also when he went
to college. Alaric seemed to absorb
most of her interest. He was evident
ly her favorite child. She wrote more
seldom of her daughter, Ethel, and
when she did happen to refer to her
she dwelt principally on her beauty
and her accomplishments. Five years
before an envelope in deep mourning
came to Kingsnorth, and on opening
it he found a letter from his sister ac
quainting him with the melancholy
news that Mr. Chichester had ended &
life of usefulness at the English bar
and had died, leaving the family quite
comfortably off.
Kingsnorth telegraphed his condo
lences and left instructions for a
suitable wreath to be sent to the fu
neral. But he did not attend it, nor
did he at any time express the slight
est wish to see his sister, nor did he
encourage any suggestion on her part
to visit him.
When he was stricken with an ill
ness from which no hope of recovery
was held out to him he at once began
to put his affairs in order, and bis
lawyer spent days with him drawing
up statements of his last wishes for
the disposition of his fortune.
With death stretching out its hand
to snatch him from a life he had en
joyed so little his thoughts, colored
with the fancies of a tired, sick brain,
kept turning constantly to his dead
sister Angela.
From time to time down through the
years he had a softened, gentle re
membrance of her. When the news of
her death came, furious and unrelent
ing as he had been toward her, her
passing softened it. Had he known
in time he would have insisted on her
burial in the Kingsnorth vault But
she had already been interred in New
His Other Sister, Mrs. Chichester.
York before the news of her death
reached him.
The one bitter hatred of his life had
been against the man who had taken
his sister in marriage and in so doing
had killed all possibility of Kingsnorth
succeeding in his political and social
aspirations.
He heaid vaguely of a daughter.
He took no interest in the news.
Now, however, the remembrance of
his treatment of Angela burnt into
him. He especially repented of that
merciless cable, "You have made your
bed lie in it" It haunted him through
the long hours of his slow and painful
illness. Had he helped her she might
ha\ been alive today, and those bitter
reflections that ate into him night and
day might have been replaced by gen
tler ones and so make his end the more
peaceful.
He thought of Angela's child and
wondered if she were like his poor
dead sister. The wish to see the child
became an obsession with him.
One morning, after a restless, fever
ish night, he sent for his lawyer and
told him to at once institute inquiries
find out if the child was still living
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
found that the child was living with
him in rather poor circumstances. He
communicated the result of his inqui
ries to Kingsnorth. That day a letter
was sent to O'Connell asking him to
allow his child to visit her dying un
cle. O'Connell was to cable at Kings
north's expense, and if he would con
sent the money for the expenses of
the journey would be cabled immedi
ately. The girl was to start at once,
as Mr. Kingsnorth had very little
longer to live.
When the letter had gone Kingsnorth
drew a 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
bis will for her in memory of his dead
sister.
The next day be altered his entire
will and made Margaret O'Connell a
special legacy. Ten days later a cable
came:
I consent to my daughter's visiting you.
FRANK OWEN O'CONNELL.
The lawyer cabled at once, making
all arrangements through their bankers
in New York for Miss O'Connell's jour
ney.
That night Kingsnorth slept without
being disturbed. He awoke refreshed
in the morning. It was the first kindly
action he had done for many years.
How much had he robbed himself of
all his life if by doing so little he was
repaid so much!
O'Connell had a hard struggle with
Peg before she would consent to leave
him. She met all his arguments with
counter arguments. Nothing would
move her for hours.
"Why should I go to a man I have
never seen and hate the name of?"
"He's your uncle, Peg."
"It's a fine uncle he's been to me all
me life. And it was a grand way he
threated me mother when she was
starvin'."
"He wants to do somethin' for ye
now, Peg."
"I'll not go to him."
"Now listen, dear it's little I'll have
to lave ye when I'm gone," pleaded
O'Connell.
"I'll not listen to any talk at all
about yer goin'. Yer a great, strong
healthy man—that's what ye are.
What are ye talkin' about? What's
got into yer head about goin'?"'
"The time must come some day.
Peg."
"All right. We'll know how to face
it when it does. But we're not goin'
out all the way to meet said Peg
resolutely.

COLDS
Anup-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
50 years.
Colds are caught in many
ways: Illy ventilated rooms
rooms that have direct draughts
crowded rooms damp houses
stuffy school rooms offices illy
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
"For several years I have been
troubled with colds at each change
of season. I took Peruna and have
not been troubled with the slightest
cold this entire season." Mr. Harry
Fisher, 1928 Mosher St, Balti
more, Md.
"I give the children Peruna If they
have a cold, and it always relieves
them." Mrs. I. D. Hayes, 19S7 Druid
Hill Ave., Baltimore, Md.
"When I feel a cold coming- on I
take a little Peruna, and it does me
good." Mr. Charles S. Many, 12 Water
