Marie's sweet face flushed, for bcr truthful nature would not let her deny ]. that , she had taken unusual interest in the handsome yonng stranger, and had thought of him more than any other * gentleman she hid ever seen. "Ab ! ah! look at her checks," cried Bessie. "Never mind ber dnrling," said Lillian, "she never did a generous deed hrr- i self and can't appreciate the pleasure of ! it. 1 dare tay you dreamed of him, and ■II that— I've done the same thing myaelf — but it's no proof that one's in love j — ia It, Paol?" "Ia what f" and the matter had to be gone over agaio. 1'aul took a seat near Marie, who was half angry now at tbe thoughtless Lilliaa. Paul was not handsome in the eyea of stranger* — hia cheeks. wrre aal- j low, and his bair a trifle too sanguine Id hue, but tbsu mora glorious eye* were , never aeno than those of Paul Singleton, j and those eyes were wont to rest on love- > |y Marie, the adopted, sister of Besnii1 • Stemming, more tlngeringly than on any j ( other face. Every body knew tbist be Joved Marie, and that the love of aucb a man wea worth more than gold, so, | though Squire Hollis,* brisk little men ! , of flftyi by no means old in appearance, j and Immansely rich withal, came a woo- j , log, everybody hoped that Paul, wltb f his small competence, would win. : a And so Paul hoped, but he was by no ; j means certain. Mario did not exactly j t ■void him, neither did she encourage ' him. Indeed, she acted at tiroes as if j • she feared that by bet manner she might j deceive him. Oh ! how the man loved ■ | her ! He feared for bimecif, sometimes c — feared ibet it might be idolatry for ( this bright young creature, whose every. ^ anile was a treasure beyond price to E Mm. t He made soma light reply, calculate# , ' to soothe the flattering spirits of the ( blushing girl, and then wsnt on to speak ] of a party that was soon to be given. ( "We're to bete that famous great speak- t or, and do yon know, I have found out , tkat he's a Frooehnan by birth." , "What ii his nnna ?" cried Marie, j tremblingly. i i

"Not always," responded Paul ; at all I events, Bosquet is not. Ill tell von ! another secret, he's rich." I ' Ob, that's delightful !" cried one of j the girls. "I wonder' if any of us will catch him T" Then in a spirit of mis* chief, she added : "let.s cast lots, just for the fun of the thing " | "What will you do ?" asked Paul, j "Ou, get toue paper ! or, no, some j beans; one black, and a dozen while. ! Whoever gets the black is to marry the ~ ' handsome stranger, sure as fate." "He msy be married already," said Be*tie No ; Paul said he was not mar^ied^ ' "Well, hero arc the beans snugly lying in Paul'* hat. Shut your eye*, girlg. No; I'll hold It so high you can't are.

In anothrr uiiuntc, he drew a 1 deep breath, and aunouueed— "White." 1 j Marie laaghed as she placed it asi -e. Perhaps out of mere mischief, sue had I hoped. she might draw the black. • j One after tbeTrtlicr tried. Bessie ' | came last. "Suppose I, too, draw a r , white one," she aaid. ; "Then none of you are to win the * ! prize," said Paul. "J "That would be too bad," cried Bes- ' : sie ; "here goes for the blsck besu I" i and she thrast ber hand in. ^ "It is the black bean ["cried Paul, • with ■ half shout.. : "So it is," said Bessie, gazing at it.

"Is it typical of a black sheep, I wonI I dsr?" asked Lilliss, innocently. "Hold your tongue I" cried Bessie, and put her bean in her pocket, j- "She means to keep him if she wins 1 him." arid Paul. "Of course I do," replied Bessie, with , a toss of her bright little head. Mo a few days, or rather evenings, the | great festival came off. ! "Bessie, did you bring your black i bean f " queried Lillias. "Of course I did, as a sort of charm," , laughed Bessie. "But is the wonderful I being here ?" — has the conquering hero come y j "The conqnering hero has come," | | whispered Paul, aside, and in anotber ; moment she was introduced to Mr. Jean ; | Bosquet Bessie lost her heart then and ' there — thai is, she has often said so I ; since. Marie started wlien she was pre ; ' tented, and on tbo first opportunity j whispered to Bessie — "My darling, that is the man whose ; arm was bouod with my handkerchief." j "Nonsense I" cried Bessie, blushing: j violently. ; "I tell ybn it is ; I have never forgot- j I his face." "And does he remember you V ' "You forget that he was insensible." ! "Oh, yes?" and it was almost with ' half sigh ibat ibis was said, j Meantime, Panl and the stranger 1 1 ] were talking together.
