Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-16

1t been possessed by a man It would surely have driven him to the tented field for his profession. But the great est glory of Beulah Sands was her eyes-large. full. very gray. very blue, vivid with all the glamour of her per sonality, full of smiles and tears and spirituality and passion; one instant. frankly innocent. they illuminated the face of blonde Madonna; the next. seen through the extraordinary, long. jet-black eyelashes underneath the finely penciled black brows. they ca ressed. coquetted. allured. afterward found much of this girls purely physi- cal fascination lay in this strange blending of English fairness with An. dalusian tints. though the abiding quality of her charm was surely in an exaltation of spirit of which she might make the dullest conscious. As she stood looking at Bob in my office that long-ago noon, gracefully at ease in a suit of gray, with gray-feathered turban on her head. and tiny lace bands at neck and wrist. she was very exquisite. exceedingly dainty, and. though southerner of southerners, very unlike the typical brunette girl who comes out of Dixie land.
 This girl who came into our once that July Saturday. just in time to in- terfere with the outing Bob Brownley and I had laid out. and who was destined to divert my chum's hereto fore smooth-fiowing river of existence and turn 1t into an attenuation of roar ing rushes and deadly calms, was truly the most exquisite creature one could conceive of. I know my thought must have been Bob's. too. for his eyes were riveted on her face. She dropped the black lashes like veil as she went on:
 MT. Brownley, have just come from Sands Landing. I am very anx- ious to talk with you on business matter. have brought letter to you from my father. If you have other engagements I can walt until Monday, although" and the black yelling lashes lifted, showing the half.laughing, half pathetic eyes, T wanted much to lay my business before you at the earliest minute possible"
 There was a faint touch of appeal in the charming voice as she spoke that was irresistible. and we were both willing to forget we had lunch wait ing us on the Tribesman.
 Step into my ofice. Mss Sands. and all my time Is yours" said Bob. as he opened the door between his ofice and mine. After had sent a note to my wife, saying re might be delayed for an hour or tvo. settled down to wait for Bob in the general once. and it vas q long wait Thirty minutes went into an hour and an hour into two before Bob and Miss Sands came out After he had put her ia cab for her hotel, he said ia a tone curiously intent: -Jim. have got to talk with you, got to get some of your good ad- vice. Suppose we hustle along to the yacht and after lunch you tell Kate ve hsve some business to go over. don't want to keep that girl waiting any longer than possible for an answer | cannot give until I get your ideas After lunch. oa the bor end of the upper deck Bob relieved himself Re lieved is the word. for from the minute be had put Miss Sands into the car riase until then. it vas evident even to my wife that his thoughts were any. where but upon cut o1tfns.
