\ The Vampire Girl » 2: 8 @ & . BY Sir A, Conan Doyle. (By Ponsiasten of George Musse’s fons) 1908, by George Mums Sonn) CHAPTER L ‘The Givi in the White Furs. ‘T might seem rash of me to say that | 3 agertbe the affair of my, friend, Joba Barrington Cowles, to any pre agency. I am aware that in t state of public feeling & indeed before the possibility of @uch @ conclusion could be mitted. therefore merely state the Plainly o { ean, and leave every read- @r to drow his own deductions, Ver+ haps there may be some one who can throw light upon what is dark to me I first met Barrington Cowles when I went up to Edinburgh University to fake out medical classes there. Cowles's father was the colonel of @ Sikh regtment and had remained in India for many years. He allowed his @on & handsome income, but seldom @ave any other sign of parental affec- |p, ton—writing irregularty and bdriefly. My friend, who had himself been born fm India, and whose whole disposition ‘was an ardent tropical one, was much Burt by this neglect, His mother was @ead, and he had no other relative ia the world to supply the blank. ‘Thus he came in time to concentrate @)! his affection upon me, and to con- fide in me in*a manner which ls rare among men. Even when a stronger and @eeper passion came upon him, th never infringed upon the old tenderness be twoen us, Cowles was 4 tall, slim young fellow, with an olive, Velasquez-like face, and dark, teuder eyes, 1 have seldom seen @ Man who was more likely to excite ‘woman's interest or to captivate her Amagination. How well I can recollect the frat time fre met her! Tt was at the opening of the Royal |s @oottish Academy in the spring of 157%. ‘We had gone togesher to see the pic- fures, and were standing in the grand central salon, when I noticed an ex- twemely beautiful woman standing at ‘the other slide of the room. In my whole life I have never seen such @ @assically perfect countenance. It was @he real Greek type—th forehead broad, very low and as white as mar- ble, with a cloudiet of delicate locks ‘wreathing round it; the nowe straight nd clean cut, the lps inclined to thin- ness, the chin and lower jaw beapti- fully rounded off, and yet sufficiently Geveloped to promise unusual strength ef character. But those eyes—those wonderful eyes! ff I could but give some faint idea of thelr varying moods, thelr steely hardness, thelr feminine softness, their power of command, their penetrating intensity suddenly melting away into an expression of womanly weaknese— but Iam speaking now of future im- pressions! ‘There was a tall. yeliow-haired young man with this lady, whom I at once recognized as a law student with whom I had a slicht acquaintance, Archibald Reeves—for that was his name—was a dashing, handsome young fellow, and had at cne time heen a ringleader in every university escapade but of late I had seen little of him, and tho revort was that he was en- gaged to be married, His companion was, then, I presdmed, his fancee. As I kept my eyes upon them Reeves was called away for some reason, and the her back to the picture, she passed the time until the return of her escort in taking a deliberate survey of the com The Evening World’s (The Brening World, in make oe cA pase, more pli for ehildten Ki hood, only playgro the street, has engaged Mrs ‘Thomas, tht well wh artiet and wrker, isa and iitusteate this series of clever ov wed oor games.)
