The Dunderbunk advertisement might now consider itself as permanent in the newspapers, and the Treasurer had very unnecessarily inserted the notice of a dividend, which everybody knew of already. When Mr. Churm was not by, they all claimed the honor of having discovered Wade, or at least of having been the first to appreciate him.

She looked a trifle blowsy and slightly splashed. I scarcely ever saw her come in without thinking afresh how odd it was that, being so little in herself, she should yet be so much in others. She was a meagre little Miss Churm, but was such an ample heroine of romance.

Wade could divine easily the meaning of this little mischievous talk. His friend Churm had no doubt puffed him furiously. "All this time," said Miss Darner, evading a reply, "we are neglecting our skating privileges." "Peter and I have a few grains of humanity in our souls," Fanny said. "We should blush to sail away from Mr. Wade, while he carries the quarantine flag at his pale cheeks."

She acknowledged with a cool bow that she did remember her guardian's character of Wade. "You do not say, Peter," says Mrs. Skerrett, with a bright little look at the other lady, "why Mr. Churm was so mysterious about Mr. Wade." "Miss Damer shall tell us," Peter rejoined, repeating his wife's look of merry significance. She looked somewhat teased.

Monarch. "I believe I could come about as near it as that," said Mrs. Monarch. "Oh you think she's shabby, but you must allow for the alchemy of art." However, they went off with an evident increase of comfort founded on their demonstrable advantage in being the real thing. I could fancy them shuddering over Miss Churm.

GENTLEMEN, poor beggars, who've drunk their wine, who've kept their hunters!" I was as reassuring as I knew how to be, and my visitors were presently on their feet again while, for the experiment, we agreed on an hour. We were discussing it when the door opened and Miss Churm came in with a wet umbrella. Miss Churm had to take the omnibus to Maida Vale and then walk half a mile.

The rain had come on since their arrival. "I'm all in a soak; there WAS a mess of people in the 'bus. I wish you lived near a stytion," said Miss Churm. I requested her to get ready as quickly as possible, and she passed into the room in which she always changed her dress. But before going out she asked me what she was to get into this time. "It's the Russian princess, don't you know?"

"Just as you please," Churm continued. "I name a competent man, a gentleman and fine fellow. I back him with all the cash he wants. But he must have his own way. Now take him, or leave him!" Such despotic talk had never been heard before in that Directors' Room. They relucted a moment. But they thought of their togas of advertisements in danger.

"Blast!" said he; "we shall have to let it slide!" Into this assembly of imbeciles unexpectedly entered Mr. John Churm. He had set his Western railroad trains rolling, and was just returned to town. Now he was ready to put those Herculean shoulders at any other bemired and rickety no-go-cart. Mr. Churm was not accustomed to be a Director in feeble companies.

We left her looking so, while I went down-stairs with Major and Mrs. Monarch. "I think I could come about as near it as that," said Mrs. Monarch. "Oh, you think she's shabby, but you must allow for the alchemy of art." However, they went off with an evident increase of comfort, founded on their demonstrable advantage in being the real thing. I could fancy them shuddering over Miss Churm.
