It was glorious hair. Not black, as Cressey had described it in his hasty sketch of the unknown I.O.W.; too alive with gleams and glints of luster for that. Nor were her eyes black, but rather of a deep-hued, clouded hazel, showing troubled shadows between their dark-lashed, heavy lids. Yet Banneker made no doubt but that this was the missing girl of Cressey's inquiry. "May I?" he said.
The meal was over, and on the polished citron-wood table stood a silver mixing-bowl, and an hospitable array after the princely manner of the house of gold cups, crystal flagons, and tall, slender glasses which looked as if they might have been cut out of deep-hued amethyst.
One of these, a full-bosomed, slender, warm-skinned girl with a wealth of deep-hued, rippling red hair crowning her small, well-poised head, rose and came to speak to Dr. Surtaine. "Did you get the message I sent you about Letter Number Seven?" she asked. "Hello, Milly," greeted the presiding genius, pleasantly. "Just what was that about Number Seven?"

She smiled confidently up at Banneker.
Around the water's edges budding plants and deep-hued mosses made a border lovely everywhere, and for long spaces deep and soft as velvet pile.

Stansby did not prove to be a very picturesque place; yet its gentle hills, with outcroppings of cold granite, the deep-hued river between, and the cotton-mill near the railroad, somehow roused a decided interest which I never have been able wholly to account for.
Beyond the Rhone, a deep-hued azure vista, stretched the chain of hills which separate Avignon from Nimes and d'Uzes.

For the rest these two men presented a singular contrast.

Then, as he came to himself, there crept into his mind a sense that things had been happening while he was away.
As light a flush As hardly tints the blossom of the quince Would mar their charm of stainless maidenhood.

Prince, we have ridd'n before among the flowers In those fair days not all as cool as these, Tho' season-earlier. Art thou sad? or sick?
"Yes, Sir," said the bewildered Simpson, "but about Ramson's beetles?" "Tell him, to turn 'em out to pasture and keep 'em as long as they live, at my expense," called back Average Jones as the door slammed behind him. Miss Sylvia Graham looked down upon a slender finger ornamented with the oddest and the most appropriate of engagement rings, a scarab beetle red-banded with three deep-hued rubies.
