taUon, just as If she were stating •
simple, ordinary occurrence.
Ethel flushed scarlet Brent smiled.
"You refuse to say why you're here
or who you are?" Ethel again asked.
"It isn't we that's refuslu'. All the
gentleman said to me was: 'Ye go to
the place that's written down ou the
card au' sit down there an' wait An'
that's all ye do.'"
Ethel again turned to the perplexed
Brent "Ehr
"Extraordinary?' And Brent abook
his bead.
The position was unbearable. Ethel
decided instantly how to relieve it
Rim looked free -singly down at the fors
torn looking little intruder and saki:
"The servants' quarters are at the
back of the house."
"Are they? asked Peg wltbont mov-
ing and not in any way taking tbe
statement to refer to ber.
"And 1 may save you tbe trouble of
waiting by telling you we are quite
provided with servants. We do not
need any further assistance."
Peg just looked at Ethel and thea
bent down over Michael. Ethel's last
shot bad struck home. Poor Peg was
cut through to ber soul. How she
longed at that moment to be back
home with her father to New York.
Before she could say anything Etbel
continued:
"It you tnslat on waiting, kindly do
so there."
Peg took Michael up in her arms, col-
lected once more her packages and
walked to the windows. Again sbe
beard the cold, hard tones of Ethel's
voice speaking to her.
'Follow the path to your right until
you come to a door. Knock and ask
permission to wait there. and for your'
future guidance go to the back door
of a house and ring. Don't walk
announced into It private room."
Peg tried to explain:
"Ye see. ma'am. i didn't know. All
the gentleman said was, 'Go there an'
wall' "—
'That will do,"
"I'm sorry I disturbed ye-" And
Me glanced et the embarrassed Brent
'That will dor aid Ethel anally.
Poor I'eg nodded and wandered off
through the windows sore at heart
She went down the path until she
trached the door Ethel mentioned
She knocked at It %Ville she 1s wait-
ing for admission we will return to the
fortunes of the rudely disturbed lov-

Ethel turned Indignantly to Brent
as tbo little figure went oft down the
path.
"Outrageous!" abe cried
"Poor little wretcbr Brent walked
to the windows and looked after ber.
"She's quite pretty."
Ethel looked understandingly at him.
"Is she?"
"In a shabby sort of way, Didn't
you think so?"
Ethel glared coldly at him.
"I never notice the lower orders.
You apparently do."
"Ob, yes—often. They're very inter-
esting—et
nteresting—et times." lie strained to get
a last glimpse of tbe intruder.
"Do you know. she's the strangest
little apparition"—
"She's only a few yards away if you
care to follow ber''•
Iler tone brought Brent up sharply.
Ile turned nwey from the window and
found Ethel, arm. folded. eyes flash-
ing. waiting for him. Something In
her manner alarmed him. Ile bad
gone too far.
"Why, Ethel," he said as be came
toward her.
"Suppose my mother bad walked In

"I was carried away," be hastened to
explain.
"Kindly everclae a little more re-
