The
Vampire
In Romance She Is Beautiful,
In Real Life Unattractive to
All Except Her Victims.
By EILEEN BRENNAN
There have been many versions of
the woman who has a passion for en
thralling men, from the ordinary flirt
to the vampire. The ordinary flirt is
supposed to have a conscience. The
vampire lures men to their ruin and
if they have families are as ready to
wreck wife and children as the mnn
himself.
The vampire is not a beauty with
soft, languishing eyes. She lias a
stony face. She conquers rather by
her will power than by fascination,
though sho calls to her assistance the
senses whenever she finds it neces
sary. I have never seen but one wo
man in real life who deserved the
name of vampire. While staying at
a summer hotel I heard of a man
among the guests who was enthralled
by a woman and taken completely
away from his family. I was told thet
I might see the couple any evening
after dinner when the guests walked
on the piazza, promenading with tlie
others. X expected to see a radiant
beauty In the woman, with seductive
manners. I was astonished at looking
upon the stoniest face I have ever
seen and utterly devoid of beauty.
The man was good looking, though
there was no strength in his features.
But the will may grow stronger or
weaken like the muscles, which are
developed by exercise or become flabby
by disuse. 1 afterward learned the
story of this man.
Edward Grant was prominent In col
lege not only as an all round available
man, but as n scholar. lie was presi
dent of his class and graduated with
honors. He becamo attached to Mar
Jorie Fleetwood, tho daughter of one
of the professors of the university.
They were married, and n boy baby
was bom to them.
-i ue couple naa neen marrieu roiir
teen years when Edward Grant was
called from his home In the east to San
Francisco oa a matter of business. It
was his first separation from his fam
ily except for a few days at a time,
and he no more wished to go than his
wife wished to have him go. He was
debating with her whether, after all,
he had not better give up the trip when
their son, Harry, thirteen years old,
cam© into the room where they were
and heard his father tell his mother
that he had promised his partner to
make the Journey.
"Papa," said Harry, "if you have
promised don't you think you ought
to go?"
This decided the father, who took his
son Into his arms and hugged and
kissed him with pride. Then, after a
last embrace of his wife, he tore him
self away.
On the same train and having a chair
in the same parlor car with Grant sat
a woman about his own age traveling
alone. She was reading a novel, while
Grant was looking out through tho
window, seeing nothing of the passing
view, for his vision was upon a mental
picture of the wife and son from whom
he had Just parted, and he was won
dering how ho could endure that sep
aration during the period fixed for his
absence.
The woman in the next chair was
constantly glancing aside from her
book at the fine looking man who was
so wrapped in his thoughts that he was
unconscious of her presence. While
she was by no means beautiful, Bhe
was dressed faultlessly, and there was
that suspicion of perfume about her
which is seductive in a woman who Is
an adept in the art of its use.
The lady dropped a glove. Grant did
not see it. She leaned forward to pick
It up, brushing against him. He turn
ed and looked into a pair of eyes fixed
upon his. From him the eyes fell to
the glove. Grant bent and picked it
up. The lady made a move to recover
It again, and, their heads coming very
near together, they turned their faces
toward each other, and Grant saw that
same pair of eyes fixed upon his and
in close proximity. Then he reached
for the glove and handed it to her. She
thanked him and resumed her novel.
Grant turned again to look out through
the window.
But now those eyes, in which there
I was a lure, came between him and
the vision of his wife and son. The
faint odor that hung about the woman
was wafted toward him whenever any
one passed through the car. No word
was spoken by either, but now and
again their eyes met, and every time
Grant felt more strongly the lure that
was in those of the woman. Gradual
ly a feeling came over him that sitting
beside this woman hour after hour
without a word passing between them
| was becoming irksome. Was it not a
waut of compliment to his fellow pas
senger that he should refrain from ad
dressing her? Surely it would be im
modest in her to speak to him without
a word from him.
He made a trivial remark. The lady
I received It not unkindly, but replied
briefly. The Ice thus broken, they soon
fell to conversing. The woman was a
good listener, and Grant was a fluent
talker. She listened, but did not ab
sorb what he said. This he knew, for
there was between them a subtle un
dercurrent that told him his compan
ion was interested in him rather than
in what he said. While he was speak-1
ing she kept her eyes fixed intently
upon his, ond lu them was always that
lure.
• •••**•
When Edward Grant returned from
his journey he was a changed man. He
could not return the embrace of his
wife and son as when he had left them.
That something was on his mind was
plain to Mrs. Grant, but she could not
tell what It was. On the evening of
his return after dinner he lit a cigar,
and the comfort of being at homo
seemed to have dispelled what hod
come between him and It when there
was a ring at the telephone. He look
ed disquieted. Mrs. Grant arose to go
to the Instrument, but he motioned her
to be seated and went himself.
When he returned to her he said that
he was sorry not to be able to pass the
first night of his return at home, but
that a matter connected with the busi
ness upon which he had gone to tho
west called him out His wife knew
that he was deceiving her, but pretend
ed to believe him. In a few minutes
after leaving his home he was with
the woman who had been his traveling
companion.
It was not long before Mrs. Grant
learned that her husband had fallen
Into the hands of a vampire. Spring
was coming on, and rooms were en
gaged for the Grant family for July
and August at the hotel where they
usually spent the summer. Grant made
no objection to going there, and his
wife hoped that if she could get him
where she could keep him continually
under hor surveillance she might break
tho spell that held him. Alas, when
sho reached the summer resort among
the guests at the hotel where the Grant
family stopped was a woman who, it
soon became evident, was the cause of
hor husband's trouble.
It was there that I first heard of this
ease and saw Grant and the vampire
promenading the piazza of tho hotel
after dinner. What became of him and
the woman at other times I did not
know, for I seldom saw either of them
at any other hour than evening. Mrs.
Grant I did not see at all. I was told
that she kept her room, not caring to
face those who were witnesses of the
shame that had been put upon her.
But I saw Harry Grant frequently
with other boys of his age playing ten
nis and bathing. lie was a line, manly
boy, and it seemed to me {hat he was
what his father had been at his age.
v»uen ine eun 01 me season came
Mrs. Grant and Harry returned to the
city together, while his father bowled
along the turnpike in an automobile
with the vampire. Every one sympa
thized with the wife, but no one was
in a position to do anything for her.
Every one despised the man. Yet not
every one, for I had a different view
concerning the matter. There arc vari
ous Influences that will undermine a
man's will power, and once It 1s under
mined It Is very difficult for him to re
cover It Nevertheless nothing is Im
possible.
The trouble In tho Grant family went
on till Ilarry Grant had passed fifteen
years of age. Ho had understood the
family trouble from the flrst and the
cause of it He was now nearly full
grown, and the skeleton In the family
closet and his love for his parents had
made a man of him. He dissuaded
his mother from applying for a divorce
until he had made an effort to save
his father from the vampire.
One day ha had a talk with his fa
ther, who confided to his son that the
only way he could throw off the thrall
of the vampire was to escape from her
long enough to regain his will power,
but he was not able to make an at
tempt to escape. Soon after this Har
ry one day asked his father to take a
ride with him in his car. Grant con
sented, and Harry took the wheel, with
his father beskle him. They had
scarcely left the city when the car stop
ped and two strong men entered and
took the back seat. Grant looked sus
picious and asked what it meant. Then
Harry told him that he was his prison
er and would remain so until he was
restored to his family. Realizing that
the two men in the rear seat had been
hired to overpower him In case he re
sisted, Grant saw the futility of try
ing to escape. Harry took him to a
house he had prepared for him, where
no one would be able to reach him, and
kept him there.
At the end of a month Grant begged
for his wife to come to him, and Harry
persuaded her to do so. The family
continued to live in their secret abode,
no one dreading being discovered more
than the husband and father. He was
like a convalescent who has suffered
from delirium, but who now every day
feels his strength returning to him.
The vampire meanwhile found anoth
er victim. Nevertheless she made ev
ery effort to find Grant, rather from
the deviltry there was In her nnd a re
pugnance to having him spirited away
from her than any desire to continue
In possession of him. Three months
elapsed before she succeeding in find
ing his retreat. Then she appeared,
intending to take him away by means
of the mental spell she exercised over
him.
When she arrived Grant had fully
recovered. Ills wife and Harry, In
turn, begged him to permit them to
meet her and send her away. He re
fused, assuring them that It was not
necessary. Receiving her himself, he
confronted her with a look of horror
that would have made another woman
wince.
"Evil woman," he said, "leave these
premises! Your power has gone. The
rest of my life shall be devoted to un
doing what you have made me do."
The vampire gave him the old look
by which she had never failed to bring
him back to her when he rebelled, but
It was powerless, and no one knew
it better than herself. Turning, she
entered the conveyance In which she
had come, and neither Edward Grant
1 nor his wife or son ever saw ho* «<*»'•»
