 She looked at him with severe candor from those amber hazel eyes, with dark lashes, in whose depths Godfrey thought he could discern strange pos abilities.
 Godfrey seemed to have photo- graphed on his mental retina every movement of the graceful girlish fig ure, the sheen of the bronze brown hair. the marble whiteness of throat and brow. the whiteness of northern races, and the snows of the unbroken plains.
