time he was a man ot breeding and of

We will now leave Peg for awhile
and return to one who claimed so
much of the reader's attention iu the
early pages cf nis history O'Couneil.
It had not been a happy month for
him.
He felt the separation from Peg
keenly. At first he was almost in
consolable. The days passed slowly until Peg's
lirst letter came. It cemtained the
news of Kingsaorth's death Peg's en
trance into the Chichester family, her
discontent, her longing to te back
once more in New York. This was
followed by more letters, all more or
less in the same key. Finally he wrote
urging her to give it all up and come
back to him. He would not have his
little daughter tortured for all the ad
vantages those people could give her.
Then her letters took on a different
aspect. They contained a curious half
note of happiness in tbem. No more
mention of returning. On the con
