Eastern villages, it was offensive to the eyes of the proud lady who was
aided from the steps of the car and descended to the station platform

glancing around.

This woman was dressed in the height of fashion, although somewhat too
heavily for the country she now found herself in; but there was about
her an air of display that betokened a lack of correct taste, which is

astonishment and awe. She had gray hair and a cold, unattractive face.
Still there was about her face something that plainly denoted she had
been in her girlhood very attractive.

She was followed by a girl who was so pretty and so modest in appearance
that the rough men who beheld her gasped with astonishment. Never in the
history of the town had such a pretty girl placed her foot within its

flushed cheeks, large brown eyes and hair in which there was a hint of
red-gold, in spite of its darkness.

A  maid followed them.

From another car descended a thin, wiry, nervous man, who had a great
