A moment later Peg entered witn
Michael cradled in ber arms. She bad
"Let us be honest with each other, ^
Ethel," said Peg. * .
n mcniah look of triumph In her "eyes. !
Down the front or ber charming new '
dress were the marks or Michael's
muddy paws. Peg was also breathing
quickly and evidently more than a little
excited. . .
"Take that animal oat of the room!"
cried Mrs. Chichester Indignantly the
moment Pegf appeared.
Teg. turned and walked straight oat
into tbe garden and began playing with
Mlcbael on the grass.
Mrs. Chichester waited for a few
moments, then called oat to her, "Mar.
garetr then more abecptyv "Margaret,
come here! Do you bear me?"
Peg went oo playing with Michael
and Juat answered, "1 .hear ye."
-Come here at onceP
"Can Mlcbael come In, too?" came
from the garden.
"Ton come In and leave that brute
outside!"
"If Mlcbael can't come In I don't
want to," obstinately Insisted Peg.
"Do as I tell you. Come beret" commanded
her aunt. Peg
tied Mlcbaei to oneof the French
windows and then went slowly Into
the room and stood facing her aunt
"Look at yoar dtess!" suddenly cried
Mrs. Chichester as she cangbc sight of
the marks of Michael's playfulness.
"Michael did that. Sure they'll come
off."
Mrs. Chichester looked at the flushed
face of the young girl, at the mass of
curly hair that bad been carefully
dressed by Bennett for dinner and was
now borering around ber eyes untidily.
The old lady straightened It '
"Can you not keep your balr out of
your eyes? Wbttf do you think will
become of you?"
"I hope to go to heaven, like all good
nponlp." said Pee.
Mrs. Chichester turned away with a
gesture of despair. ?
"What Is It'?' continued the old lady.
"I say what la ItV"
"What Is what?" asked Peg.
-Is It that you dont wish to improve?
Is It that?*
"Ill teil you what I think It Is," began
Peg helpfully, as \tf anxious to
reach some satisfactory explanation.
'1 think there's a little dlvll In me lyln'
there, an' every now an' again be
Jumps out"
"A devil?' cried Mrs. Chichester, horrified.
"Yes. aunt," said Peg demurely.
"How dare you use such a word to
me?"
"1 didn't I used It about meself. 1
don't know whether you bave a dlvll
In n> no* I fhlntr I hnuo"
Mrs. Chichester silenced her with a
gesture: |
"Tomorrow I am to give Mr. Hawkea
my tirst report on yon."
Peg laughed suddenly and then checked
berself quickly.
"And why did you do that?"^ asked
her aunt severely.
"I had a picture of what ye're goto'
to tell him."
"Why do you constantly disobey me7"
pursued the old lady.
"I suppose It Is the original Bin In
me." replied Peg thoughtfully.
"What?" cried Mrs. Chichester, again
taken completely aback.
"Oh, I say. you know! That's good!
Ha!" And Alarlc laughed heartily. Peg
lolned In and laughed heartily with
lim. Alarlc immediately stopped.
Ethel took absolutely no notice of
my one.
Peg sat down beside her aunt and exjlained
to her: "Whenever I did anyihlncr
willful or distnrhln' as a. child
me rathe"? always salo'Tt'wagTtKi 'orljInal
sin' In me an' that 1 wasn't to l>e

least I think that was a grand wny
to bring up a daughte::. I've been wonderin'
since I've been here if an aant
could bring a niece up the same watf.M
And she looked quizzically at Mrs.
Chichester.
Jarvis came In with a letter on a
salver. f
"Well?" asked the old lady.
"For Miss Chichester, madam." And
be banded Ethel the letter. "By band,
miss."
Ethel took the letter quite unconsciously
and opened it"Wbo
Is it from?" asked Mrs. Chichester.
,
"Mr. Brent," repiieu Ktnei mairrerently.
"Brent?" cried Alnrlc. "What on
earth does bo write to yon for?"
"He wants me to do something for
blm." And sbe tore tbe letter up Into
the smallest pieces anl placed them in
a receptacle on tbe desk.
"Come, Alarlc." And Mrs. Ctdcheater
left tbe room after admonishing
Peg that an bour would be safflclent,to
sit up. '
"Let ns be bonest with each otber.
Etbql," said Peg wben tbe two girls
were left alone: Peg went Hgbfi over
to ber and looked at ber compassionately.
"What do yon mean?' said Etbel,
with a sudden contraction or her
breath.
"You like Mr. Brent, don't yef*
So the moment bad come, 'ihe Httle
spy bad been watching bet. Well, she
would fight this common little Irish
nobody to the bitter end. All **?e anger
in ber nature surged uppermost as
Etbel answered Peg, but she kept her
voice under control.
"Certainly ,1 like Mr. Breut. He to a
very old friend of the familyf*
"He's got a wife'/*
"He basP
"An* a baby T '
"Yes?and n baby." Ethel wsa net
going to betray herself: Sbe would
just wait to see what course this creature
was going to take wttb ber.
They were now seated together, Etb
el holding Her little white poodle, at
which Peg pointed contemptuously.
Peg went on:
"Of course I've never seen the wife
or the baby because be never seems
to bare them with blm when b?> ante
here. But I've often Heard Alurlc usk
aftber tbem.n
-Welir asked Etbel coldly.
"Is It usual for English husbands
with babies to kiss other women's
hands T And Peg looked swiftly at
her cousin.
Ethel checked an outburst and said
qnite calmly: ,
-It Is a very old and a very respected'custom."
> . . vj r?
"The dlvfl doubt It but If 8 old. I'm
not so sore about the respect. Why
doesn't he kiss me aunt's oand as
wenr
Ethel conJd not control Derseur omen
longer. Jt was becoming unbearable.
As she crossed the room ato said with
as little beat as possible:
"You don't understand."
"Well, but I'm tbryin' to," persisted
Peg. "That's why 1 watch ye alii the
time."
Ethel turned. She was now at tay.
"You watcb ms7* '
"Aren't ye she model?"
-It's contemptible!" cried Ethel.
"Sure I only saw the 'old an' respected
custom' by accident?wteq 1
came In through there a month ngu?
ao' oncw since wben I came tn again
by accident?a few days aftberward.
I couldn't help seeln' it both times.
An', as for beln' contemptible. I'm not
so sure the custom doesn't deserve all
the contempt."
Ethel was now thoroughly a routed.
"I suppose it Is too mocb to eirpect
that a child or the common people
should understand the customs of decent
people."
"Mebbe it Is." replied Peg. "But I
don't sw wbv ttoe common people
should nnvc all tbe decency an' tbs
aristocracy none."
"It is impossible ro talk to too. 11
was foolish to have stayed here. Yon
ilou't understand. You Dever could
understand**?
Pes interrupted: "Why, I never saw
ye excited before?not a bit of color In
yer cheeks- tlil now?except twice! Ye
look just as ye did when Mr. Brent
followed tbat old an' respected ronton)
on yer hand," ciled Peg. The
young girl's eyes were ablaze. How
vividly she remembered the eventful (
scene that confronted her when she
first arrived at the Chichester home
days before!
Ethel answered this time, excitedly
and Indignantly, gMnj; full and free
vent to her Just anger:
"Be good enough never to speak to
me again as long as you're In this
house. If I had my way you'd leave
it this moment As it is?as it is"?
Her voice rose almost: to a scream.
Her rage was unbridled.
What more she might have said was
checked by the door opening and Jarvis
showing In Jerry.
Jerry walked cheerfully and smilingly
into the room and was amazed to
find the two young ladles glaring at
each other and apparently In the midst
of a conflict
All power of speech left him as he
Btood looking In amazement at the
combatants.
CHAPTER XXII.
The Temple of Friendship.
MI CAME over to ast: Mrs. ChichesB
ter^s permission for you two
^ young ladles to gc? to a dance tonight.
It's Just across from here
at th? Asaamblv rooms." said JertT.
Peg' Ceaujed joyfully, it wad jus
what she wanted to do. Ethel viewer
the suggestion differently.
"It's very kind of you," she said
"but It's quite impossible."
"Oh."' ejaculated 1'eg.
"impossible?" ejaculated Jerry. v
"I'm sorry," end Etbel went to thi
door:
"So am I," replied Jerry regretfully
"1 would have given you longer notic<
only It was made up on the spui of tb<
moment Don't you tblnk you could?'
"1 don't care tor dancing. Besides
my bead acbes."
"What -a pity!** exclaimed tbe dlsap
pointed yuung man. Then be said ea
gerly, "Do you suppose your motbei
would allow Miss Margaret to go?"
"I'll ask ber," and Ethel left th<
room.
Peg ran across, stopped tbe dooi
from closing and called after Ethel:
"I didn't tuettu to burt ye? indade 1
didn't i wanted to talk to ye? tuai
was all?an' ye made me angry." Etbe
disappeared witnoutf even turning uei
bead.
Peg came Into tbe room ruefully anc
sat down ou tiie sofa. She was tbor
ougbly unhappy..
JeiTy looked at ber a moment walk
ed over to her und asked ber, "What'*
tbe matter?" ' y''
"One of us girts hap been brought u[
all wroug. I tried"?.to make friends

"Aren friend* ?""

"What a shduief . ..
"Wait until you bear what me aonl
says when ?e ask ber about tbt

"Don't you think she'll let you go?"
"No, I do not" She looked at him
quizzically for a moment Tben she
burst out: laughing.
"Mlstfoer Jerry, trill ye take me an
the same If me aunt doesn t con sent 7*
"Why, Peg"? be begau astonisbedly
"But I haven't gut an evenln' dress.
Does It matter?"
"Not In the leant, bot"?
"Will tbis one do?"
"It's very c-narmlng; stHl"?
"Stains and all?'
"My dear Peg"?
"Perhaps ttbey'll rnb opt. It's tbe

out passionately: "Uh, ye must take

"Not a bit.M replied Jerry heartily.
"I was Just tbe same at your age. 1

college until I Fou nd myself so far behind
fellows 1 despised tbat I was
ashamed. Tben I went after tbem
tooth and nail until 1 caught tbem up
and passed them." '
"Did ye?" cried I'eg eagerly. "I will,

"Will your
Sbe nodded rigorously.
"1 will?Indade l will. From now on
I'll do everything they tell toe an' learn
everything tiftey tisaeh me If It aiili

"1 wish yoci would." he said seriously.
"An* when I pasn everybody else an'
know more than any one ever knew?
will ye be very proud or ineT"
"Yes. Peg. Even more than 1 am
now."
"Are ye now?"
"I am proud to think you are my
friend." "Ye'd
ha' won yer wager. We are
friends, airea't we?"
"I am yours."
"Sure I'm yonrs all right"
Sbe looked at him. laughed shyly
and pressed her cheeks, lie was
watching her closely. '
"What are you laughing at?" he
asked.
"Do ye know what Tom Moore wrote
about friendship?"
"No. Tell me."
Pee set at tbe piano and played very
softly tDe prelode to an old Irish song.
Jerry said,surprised]?, "Oh. so you
play?"
"Aftbw a fashion. Me father taught
me. Me aant can't bear It in* the
teacher In the boose said It was
dhreadfoi an' that 1 mast play scales
for two years more before 1 tbry a
tune. She said 1 bad no ear."
Jerry iaagbed as he replied, "I think
they're very pretty."
"Do ye? Well, watch them an*
mebbe ye won't mind me Ringln' so
much. An*, aftber all, ye're only a
farmer, aren't ye?"
"Hanlly that" And Jerry laughed
again.
"This la called 4 A Temple to Friendship,'
" she explained.
"IndeedT
"An' It-'fi about a crlri who bnilt a
8brine an' sbe thought she wanted to
put Friendship into It She thought
she wanted Friendship. Afther awhile
sbe found oat her mistake. Listen."
And Peg sang, in a pore, tremulous little
voice -that vibrated with feeling,
the following:
" 'A temple to Friendship,' said Laura enchanced.
I'll build in thla garden?the thought is
dlvlnel'
Her temple wm built, and she now only
wanted
An image of Friendship to place on the
shrine.
She flew to a sculptor, who set down before
her
A Friendship, the fairest his art could
invent!
But so cold and so dull that the youthful
adorer
Saw pkiinly this was pot the Idol she
meant.
L Cl
J " 'Ob. never,' sbe cried, 'could l think of

An image whoa* looks are so Joyless
I and dim.

'We'll make. If you please, sir, a Friendship

3 "So the bargain was struck; with the little

She Joyfully Hew to her shrine in the t
j grove.
a 'Farewell,' said the sculptor; 'you're not j,{
; the first maiden .
Who 'came but for Friendship and too*

Sbe played the refrain softly after
sbe bad finished the song. Gradually 11
tbe last note died away.

"What? Whom?" asked Jerry ur- d<

Peg regained control of herself, and. sj

Mrs. Chichester came slowly down
the stairs, gazing In horror at the lit- re
tie bouncing figure. As Peg whirled ac
past the newel post she caught sight s'(
of her aunt She stopped dead. 81
"What does this mean?" asked Mrs.
Chichester angrily.
Peg sank Into a chair.
Jerry shook hands with &J[rs. Chi
