CHAPTER III.
The Holy Yhiordes.

George drank his burgundy perfume
torily. Had it been astrfngent as the
native wine of Corsica, he would not
have noticed it. The little nerves
that ran from his tongue to his brain
had temporarily lost the power OF COM
%munication. And all because Of the
girl across the way. He couldn't keep
his eyes from wandering in her d.
rection. She faced him diagonally.
She ate but little, and when the elder
ly gentleman poured out for her a
glass of sauterne, she motioned 1t
aside, rested her chin upon her fold
ed hands, and stared not at but
through her vis-a-vis.
It was a lovely head, topped with
coils Of lustrous, light brown hair;
an oval face, Of white and rose and
ivory tones; scarlet lips, a small, reg
ular nose, and a chin the soft round.
ness Of which hid the resolute lift to
it. To these attributes of loneliness
was added a perfect form, the long,
flowing curves of youth, not the abrupt
contours Of maturity. George couldn't
recollect when he had been SO I'M
pressed by a face. From the moment
she had stepped down from the car
rage, his interest had been drawn,
and had grown to such dimensions
that when he entered the d. .ng-room
his glance Immediately searched for
her table. What luck in finding her
across the way! He questioned If he
had eveJ seen her before. There was
something familiar; the delicate pro
file stirred some sleeping memory but
did not wake 1t.
How to meet her, and when he did
meet her, how to interest her? II she
would. only drop her handkerchief, hel
purse, something to give him an ex
cuse, an opening. All, he was certain
that this time the hydra-headed one
| should not overcome him. To gair
her attention and to hold 1t, he would
have faced a lion, a tiger, q wild-ele
| plant. To diagnose these symptoms
might not be fair to George. Love

well, but we h~oary-headed philosc

poetical license.
Once, and only once, she looked II
