From that day forward Clive moved rapidly towards convalescence; but Quilts, who spent most oi his time be- side him, would not let him see any letters or even talk very much: visitors, were, of course, out of the question. On day, when Clive had regained sufficient strength to permit of his moving from he bed to a capacious chair, he said, after a long silence: 1 am EAE to resign. the President- § ship and my seat, Quilton uilton nodded.

It was Tib- bv right enough; but a new, transform- ed Tibby. She was dressed, mot in the nondescript garments, but in a tailor- 'made coat and skirt of blue serge; and in place of the extraordinary bonnet she wore a neat and exceedingly becoming hat properly disposed on an equally neat and becomingly arranged head of hair.
