in the persistent fashion it is hard
for a girl to shake off even at two

A great friendship sprang up be-
tween Ann and Dorothy almost
from tie first, though neither the
professor nor Anna seemed to en-
courage any PARTICULAR intimacy,
and the result was that Dorothy
was far more in our house off and

which was habitually kept shut in
stead of open in English country

No one else in the neighborhood
took the trouble to cultivate my

they encouraged to do so, the pro-

that he was deeply immersed in q

been used as the Dover House, as
1t is now generally called, but there
having been no family claimant to
its use since the death Of my grand
mother four years ago 1t is let at
present to an eminent German
scientist, Professor Lycurgus Wolff,
who took an extraordinary fancy to
1t last Summer when he struck 1t
by chance-trespassing, may say,
with all foreigners disregard Of
our insular sanctities-upon an en-
tomological expedition while stay
ing in Brighton.
I did not like the idea of letting
It, must frankly admit, and 1t was
not the rent that attracted me so
much as the fact that It had been
standing empty, apart from the oc-
supation of the kitchen quarters by
one of the under-keepers and his
wife, as caretakers, for close on
four years, and was getting into a
somewhat damp and musty condi-
tion, as It must be admitted It is a
bit dank down in the hollow among
the trees. However, as there ap-
peared no likelihood of its being
required again for family purposes
for many years to come, and as the
professor was importunate and pro-
duced unimpeachable references, In
the end I consented to let It to him
furnished for year.
II was bit of a wrench senti-
mentally, as from a boy have al
ways been particularly attached to
this beautiful little Tudor manor
in miniature, a perfect gem in It's
way from an architectural point Of
view, as the old home of the Clymp-
ing family-the actual original
house on It's site having disappeared
centuries before, save for part Of
an old stone barn attached to the
Dover House.
Thus II came to pass that Pro-
fessor Wolff took up his residence
In the Dover House last Autumn.

Dorothy-well, It is difficult to
give my first impression of her, ex.
cept that she was as unlike the
professor as anyone could well be,
and without the least trace of the
Teutonic type; but that is another
tale, and again / must not let my
pen outrun my story.
Suffice to say, she struck me as
beautiful-beautifu in a way totally
different from my Ann, but possess
ing a rare beauty that grows on one

a strong red light in It. and a won

delicate features, and two great SOL

but beautifully built-a fact that her
rather rough-and-ready clothes could
not altogether conceal, and the
daintiest hands and feet l ever saw
on any woman.
The matter of first impressions
is. always difficult, especially when
the question of dress enters into
them, and Ann, in due course,
helped to- change or, at least, to
modify that to the revelation Of
beauty of form, which was hidden,
under the dowdiness Of garments
dictated by an elderly German pro-
.fessor, absorbed In other things,

beard, a pair of remarkably piercing
black eyes under long, straight,
slanting brows. which met in

pointed ears set low and far back

His mouth, under his struggling,
