Suddenly a shadow fell across the page, and looking up she saw Abel Newt standing beside her. He had his cap in one hand and a port-folio in the other. The blood rushed from Hope's cheek to her heart; then rushed back again. Abel saw it. Rising from the lawn and bowing gravely, she turned toward the house.
There was something grateful to Abel Newt in the wide sphere and complicated relations of the political capital, of which the atmosphere was one of intrigue, and which was built over the mines and countermines of selfishness. He hoodwinked all Belch's spies, so that the Honorable Mr.

"Pooh! you silly I mean, my precious darling, your mother's too smart for you. She'd have every thing out of you in a twinkling." "I suppose she would," said Alfred, meekly. Fanny Newt wagged her foot very rapidly, and looked fixedly upon the floor.

And Mr. Wetherley wondered, in a sighing way, what was the secret of Abel's success. The honorable member came out of the bank with the money in his pocket.

That she should have led such a life with Boniface Newt, and have seen him ruined after all. Poor soul! poor soul!" "Which?" asked her husband. "Both both, Sir. I pity them both from my heart."
