I would like to know whether there is a boy here who thinks he has entered in at that gate." How still the room was while he waited for his answer! Tip could feel his heart throb--throb--with loud, distinct beats; twice he tried to break the silence, and couldn't.

At last he found voice: "I do, sir." Mr.Minturn turned quickly.
