His complexion is not ronouncedly ruddy, neither is it sallow. it possesses some col- or, which 24 hours in captivity has not" brought to a minus quantity. His nose is well shaped and good of position. Quite aristocratic I should pro- nounce'it were I rendering judgment. His eyes. ah, that'sahe.charm about the man.

They're the kind that lets your image swim in their half-blue, half-gray dépths, while they search your owh eyes appealingly, intensifying at the —e ‘time the expressions of the owner's voice. The voice of the lord matches well with his eyes. It has depth and softness and some other thing that I cannot call by anything in words. The kind of thing that makes other men angry and makes women softer of mood than they mean to be. Why, that old English voice of his actu- ally affected me, who had walked into the cell bristling with Americanism and the rights of injured Missouri womanhood. The exact dress of the lord—his well eeeaee shoes, his carefully buttoned rince Albert coat, his nicely tied blue tie stuck with a daintily set diamond stick — only intensified my feeling against m. “Now here's a man,’ thought I, ‘‘who by all the rules of love should be heart- broken.”” Instead he’s irreproachably neat, He has even had the use of a razor with- in the last few hours. “Fancy remembering h is beard when he's -_ his sweetheart—wife Just then the lord talked loud enough for black as I am being painted [I should seek for some kind of, acid with which to end my life. “Poor man, he is hurt to the quick,” thought I, forgetting that he had re- celved a visit from a barber when he should have been thinking of the troubles he had brought toa his wife.
