Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-01-30
warning Of the approaching train.

Her Eyes Met Mine Easily; Their
 Azure Depths Puzzled Me.
 T was eavesdropping on my own account" she said hurriedly, and with note of f1nality. T was there by in- tention, and'-there was another hint of the am-o'-shanter in the mirth that seemed to bubble for a moment in her throat-'it's too bad you did not see me, for had on my prettiest gown, and the fog wasn't good for it. But you know as much of what was said as I do. You are a man, and I have heard that you have had some expert ence in taking care of yourself, MT. Glenarm."
 "To be sure; but there are tines"
 "Yes, there are times when the odds seem rather heavy. I have noticed that myself"
 She smiled. but for an instant a sad look came into her eyes-a look that vaguely but insistently suggested another time and place.
 q want you to come back" I said boldly, for the train was very near and felt that the eyes of the Sisters were upon us. You can not go away where shall not find you!"
 I did not know who this girl was, her home, or her relation to the school, but knew that her life and mine had touched strangely; that her eyes were blue, and that her voice had called to me twice through the dark, in mockery once, and in warning an other time, and that the sense of hay ing seen her before. of having looked into her eyes haunted me. The youth in her was so turing; she was at once so frank and so guarded-breeding and the taste and training of an am pier world than that of Annandale were so evidenced Tn the witchery of her voice, in the grace and ease that marked her every motion, in the soft gray tone of hat, dress and gloves, that a new mood, a new hope and faith sang in my pulses. There, on that platform, felt again the sweet heartache had known as boy. when spring first warmed the Vermont hill sides and the mountains sent the last snows singing in joy of their release down through the b-ook-beds and into the wakened heart of youth.
 She met my eyes steadily.
 If thought there was the slightest chance of my ever seeing you again shouldn't be talking to you here. But I thought thought it would be good fun to see how you really talked to grown-up. So 1 am risking the dis. pleasure of these good Sisters just to test your conversational powers, Mir. Glenarm. You see how perfectly frank ann"
 But you forget that I can follow you; I don't intend to sit down in this hole and dresm about you. You can't go anywhere but 1 shall follow and find you"
 That is finely spoken. Squire Glen arm! But imagine you are hardly likely to go far from Glenarm very soon. don't hesitate to say that I feel perfectly safe from pursuit!"- and she laughed her little low laugh that was delicious in its mockery.
 felt the blood mounting to my cheek. She knew. then. that I was virtually a prisoner at Glenarm, and for once in my life, at least, I was ashamed O: my folly that had caused my grandfather to hold and check me from the grave. as he had never been able to control me in his life. The countryside knew why I was at Glen arm, and that did rot matter, but my heart rebelled at the thought that this girl knew and mocked me with her knowledge.
 T shall follow and find you" I re- peated. T shall see you Christmas eve" said, wherever you may be-"
 Tn three days? Then you will come to my Christmas eve party. I shall be delighted to see you.-and fattered, Just think of throwing away a fortune to satisfy ones curiosity, I'm sur prised at you. but gratifed, on the whole, Mir. Glenarm,"
 T will give more than fortune; I will give the honor I have pledged to my grandfather's memory to hear your voice again."
 That is a great deal,-for so small . voice; but money. fortune, A man will risk hfs honor readily enough, but his fortune is a more serious matter. I'm sorry we shall not meet again. n would be pleasant to discuss the sub feet further. It interests me particu- lariy."
 Tn three days I shall see you" 1 said
 She vas instantly grave.
 "Noi Please do not try. It would be a very great mistake And. any how. you can hardly come to my party without being invited"
 That matter is closed. Wherever you are on Christmas eve I shall find you" said. and felt ny heart leap. knowing that I meant what I said-
 -Good-by." she said. turning away I'm sorry I shsn't ever chase fabhits
