O‘Connell sat down and wrote Peg a long letter, leaving the choice in her bands, but telling her how much he would like to have her back with him.

What was this odd little fellow trying to tell her? Alaric felt that the moment had now really come. "Gad? Glad?" he asked in astonishâ€" ment. ; "Did it, now?" laughed Peg. "Sure an‘ I‘m glad of it." "Just nowâ€"down in that roomâ€" when the thought flashed through me that perhaps you really meant to leave us. It went all through me. ‘Pon my honor it did.

"No, I didn‘t know it. When did ye find it out?" Alaric looked at her with what he meant to be adoration in his eyes. "What is it?"â€"she asked impatiently. Bhe wanted to go back to her room and make her final preparations. "You‘re not really going awayâ€"cousâ€" in?" he gasped. "I am," replied Peg. "Just a moment," he cried, stopping ber just by an oriel window. She paused in the center of the glow that radiated from its panes. & "That‘s what I‘m doin‘," and she still went on up two more steps. her. "Hello, Margaret!" he cried cheerfulâ€" ly, though his heart was beating neryâ€" ously at the thought of what he was about to do; and across his features there was a sickly pallor. "What have you got there, all tucked away?" he ventured as the opening question that was to lead to the all important one. _ Peg held up a book for him to see. "The only thing I‘m takin‘ away that I didn‘t bring with me." "A book, eh?" "That‘s what it isâ€"a book," and she began to go upstairs. Peg decided to take a walk in the garden. As she reached the foot of the stairs Alaric came in quickly through the windows. â€"< As mother and son walked slowly toward the house they looked up, and gazing through a tiny casement of the little mauve room was Peg, her face white and drawn. ~Of course there is that. Now, let me seeâ€"just get a solid grip on the whole thing.

Does she love met‘ "I‘ve seen her look almost beautiâ€" ful!" cried Mrs. Chichester. Alaric suddenly grew depressed. "Shocking temper, mater!" and he shook his head despondently. "The woman who loves always obeys!" cried his mother. "That‘s just it. It‘s all right saving tbhe family. Any cove‘ll do that at a pinch. But I do not see myselif as a ‘brand snatcher.‘ Besides, I am not altogether at liberty." "What?" cried his mother. "Obh, I‘ve not committed myself to anything. But I‘ve been three times to hear that wonderful woman speakâ€" once on the platform! And people are beginning to talk. She thinks no end of me. Sent me a whole lot of stuff last weekâ€"‘advanced literature‘ she calls it I‘ve got ‘em all upstairs. Wrote every word of ‘em herself. Nevâ€" er saw a woman who can talk and write as she can. And outside of all that I‘m afraid I‘ve more or less enâ€" couraged her. And there you areâ€"the whole thing in a nutshell." : _ Alaric thought for a few moments.

She took him in her arms and pressâ€" ed his reluctant and shrinking body to her breast. "Think what it would mean, dearâ€"your family preserved and a brand snatched from the burning!" The shock had come. His mother‘s terrible alternative was now before him in all its naked bhorror. A shiver ran through him. The thought of a man with a future as brilliant as his being blighted at the outset by such a misalliance! _ He felt the color leave his face. "Engaged! : Don‘t, mother, please." He trembled again. "Heavensâ€"engagâ€" ed to that tomboy!" There was no escape. Mrs. Chiches ter held him firmly. 66 The old lady placed her cards delibâ€" srately on the table as she said sentenâ€" tiously: "It wouid be the saving of us all!" she insisted significantly.
