The far-riding,gentry, the hunters, trappers, cowboys and the ledians all gave her the palm for beauty:- Her eyes were great welds of limpid emot,}on, seldom , aroused, but eloquent of coquetry, steadfastness,. daring and love. Shaded with the longest of lashes, their every accent was emphasized by that delightful un- certainty that a French woman knows so well how to use.

The mouth, small but well formed, with•lips not too furl to be expressive and yet full enough to indicate im- puleiveness, were brilliant crimson. They were the most noticeable feature of the face except the eyes. In their dark hazel depths the luckless swain who was vouchsafed their fell power was lost to all other feminine charm until Marie had released him. Few of her admirers could have told you the appearance of Marie's' nose. They sel- dom catalogued her that 'far. It was the one feature that Marie herself regarded as treacherous. It was slight- ly aquiline and possibly, a trifle too long. As a child she had spent houro, while reading a book, with her hand pressed gaimiy against it in the en- deavor to give it an upward tilt. But no ono else saw anything but exquiaite beauty in Marie's nose. And of all those who admired it, with Marie's ether attractions, tiro first and Plot and Characters.
