/ was thrown in contact with Virginia
Eglinton fully as much as was with Lucy.
remember now my first meeting with the
girl, and the strange, exquisite thrill that ran
through my being. Even then decided that
there were very few women who could claim
| to be her equals. There was something re-
gal about her. Her carriage and the pose
| OF her head were queenly. She seemed born
to receive homage and yet there was moth
ing naughty or cold about her. She seemed
to be unconscious Of her beauty and her
pow ers and she was none the less charm
ing on account of this unconsciousuess.
There was some wonderful attraction for me
about her-yes, me the betrothed husband
| OF another.
AS the days went on we became QUITE
friendly-at least, called the relations be-
tween us that of friendship. did not pause
to ask myself whittier II might lead me.
did not know l was placing myself on
grounds that threatened danger to what
was between me and my sweet little bios
som, Lucy Houston.
A month passed away. Perhaps my treat
ment to Lucy lacked the full warmth that
1t should have had under the circumstances
/ dare say that any person knowing we
were lovers would have called us very
cold pair. However, If was somewhat
cold, Lucy did not seem to take it to heart.
Probably she had no definite idea Of how
ought TO treat her, and, therefore, saw
nothing wrong in my course.
Sometimes thought of what difference
there must be between her and Virginia Egg
linton IN that respect. All! the man that
loved this queenly woman would not be al.
lowed to stand aloof in cold admiration. He
must give her all of strong, passionate
love, or he could not make her happy.
Something singular was happening to
Frank Burleigh during these passing days
When he had first became acquainted with
Lucy, he fairly raved to me about her
sweetness and innocence. had laughed at
him, and had not informed him OF the rela-
tion in which we stood to each other. In.
deed, Lucy and had sgreed to keep the
matter secret between ourselves for the
present. Shortly he ceased to speak OF her
to mo. He became more serious, not like
the merry Frank of old. At times, how
ever, he would banish his seriousness, and
becone as gay and frank as ever.
