Blyth's amazement at this unexampled change in his manner so completely overcame her, that she fairly laid down her book to look at him. He noticed the action, and approached the couch directly. "That's right," he said; "don't read any more. I want to have a serious consultation with you." First a visit from Mrs. Peckover, then a serious consultation with Zack.

Blyth's when Mat entered the lodgings with these purchases.

Blyth's odd behavior, which I see has startled and astonished you. But, however wildly he may talk, I assure you he means honorably and truthfully in all that he says. You will understand this better if you will let me temperately explain to you the proposal, which he has just made so abruptly and confusedly in his own words." "Proposal, sir!" exclaimed Mrs.

Knowing that the false key would be placed in his hands that evening, how was he to open Mr. Blyth's bureau without risking discovery by the owner, or by some other person in the house? To this important question he had as yet found no better answer than was involved in the words he had just whispered to himself, while preparing for his morning ablutions.

"The garden door's safest: I'll chance it with the garden-door," thought Mat, as he sat down in the shaving-shop chair, and ordered the barber to operate on his chin. Punctually at seven o'clock Mr. Blyth's visitors rang at his bell.

If he won't, I've got Mat to fall back upon; and I'll run as wild in America as ever he did." Reflecting thus, Zack descended cautiously to the back parlor, which was called a "library." The open door showed him that no one was in the room. He went in, and in great haste scrawled the following answer to Mr. Blyth's letter: "MY DEAR BLYTH Thank you for the tickets.

"She certainly has a great power over gentlemen" Blyth's mother smiled demurely, as if she were sorry to confess it; "but she is exceedingly young, Sir Charles, and every allowance must be made for her." "And by the Lord Harry, she gets it, madam. She takes uncommonly good care of that. But what is the one thing you mentioned that would prevent you from coming back to us with pleasure?"

"I hope I have not disappointed you by delaying my letter for a few days, but I thought it would be quite a pity to write till I could give you Mr Blyth's opinion, and that of the public, about your works. I have just been to the shop, and though it is late at night, I cannot go to bed till I have offered you my congratulations.

And, I say, if Blyth comes up to you and asks you about the picture, say it's Columbus, and remarkably like him." Left by himself, Mat looked about for better standing-room than he then happened to occupy; and seeing a vacant space left between the door-post and Mr. Blyth's bureau, retreated to it.

Then came the happy day when the secret was revealed, and afterwards the pleasant years when poor Mrs. Blyth's most splendid visions of luxury were all gradually realized through her husband's exertions in his profession.
