Lost in astonishment, he did not
answer the child, but gazed at her
with wide-opened eyes. She had ap

so fair, so fragile, with a strange,
yearning look in her large j violet-blue
eyes, and a tint of purest gold on the
long flowing hair that fell about her
small delicate face that she seemed
to belong to ah entirely different race.
