The Marshall republican., 1907-04-19

sancs' was beauty beyond cavii, gu.
perior to all analysis. as definite as
the evening star against the twilight
sky. In height medium, glrlish. but
with a figure maturely modelled,
charmlngly full and rounded, yet by
very perfection Of proportion escaping
suggestion Of "plumpness." The head,
surrounded and crowned with a wealth
OF dark golden hair. rested on a neck
that would have seemed short had Its
slender column sprung less g~raciously
from the lovely lines Of the breast and
shoulders beneath. IL was on the
face. however. and finally on the eyes
that ones glances Inevitably fingered
the face rose.tinted. with dimples in
either Of the full cheeks, entering
laughing protest against the sad droop
that brought slightly down the corners
OF a mouth too large perhaps for
beauty, II the coral curve of the Inns
q been less exauisitely perfect. The
straight, thin .nostriled nose, the broad
forehead. the square. full law almost
a. low at the points where they come
beneath the ears MS at the chin, sus.
eested dignity and high resolve cou.
pied with a power Of purpose. rare 10
woman. The combination OF forehead.
Jaw, and nose was seldom seen Had
II been possessed by a man II would
surely have driven him 10 the tented
field for his profession. but the great.
est glory Of Bculah Sands was her
eyes-large. full. very gray. very blue.
vivid with all the glamour ~ her per.
%sonality. full Of smiles aud tears and
spirituality and passion: one instant, ,
frankly innocent. they illuminated the
face Of n blonde Madonna: the next.
seen through the extraordinary. long.
jet'black eyelashes underneath the
fnely penciled black brows. they "a.
ressed. ~coauetted. allured. afterward
found much OF this girls purely physi.
cal fascination lay In this strange
blending OF English fairness with An.
daluslan tints. though the abiding
quality Of her charm was surely in an
esaltatlon Of spirit ~ which she might
make the dullest conscious. As she
stood looking at Bob In my Office that
long noon. gracefully at ease in a
suit OF gray. with n gray.fcathered
turban on her head. and tiny lace
bands at neck and wrist. she was very
exquisite. exceedingly dainty. and.
though southerner Of southerners. very I,
unlike the typical brunette girl who
m out NJ Dixie land.
This girl who came into our Office
that July Saturday. Just In time IN In. |
terfere with the outing Rob BROMLEY |
and ] had laid out. and who was
destined to divert my chum's hereto
fore smooth. flowing river Of existence
and turn II into an alienation Of roar.
Ing rushes and deadly Gains. was truly |
the most exquisite creature ono could
conceive Of. know my thought mus,
have been Bob's. too. for his eyes wep
riveted on her face. She dropped the
black lashes like a veil as she went
on:
Mr.. Brownley. 7 have Just como
from Sands Landing. am very anx.
ious to talk with you on a business
matter. have brought q letter 20 you
from my father. n you have other
engagements ! can wait until Monday. |
although" and the black yelling lashes
lifted. showing the ha~iflaushing. half.
pathetic eyes. u waited 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.
