'Pretty 'I Nu ; but gentille. Fig

`But not pretty?' . • .
'Well, scarcely perhaps; but a

but a voice like a silver bell—clear,

'Shall I like ' la blonde Mees?"'
'Like tier, yes; love her, no; for
she has no fortune.'
•So far I had heard—overheard ;
let me avow my dishonorable action.
But I was *la - blonde Mees,' and it
was • too tempting an oppor,tunity I
The. window was open ; I was out
side, lazily. enjoying a dreamy siesta
in the rose I)ower,.when I heard the
murmur of voices. My godmother
was talking of me ; and the 'deep,
pieasant_ voice asking so many ques
tions about my insignificant self was
no other than her august nephew the
son of -her only sister, who had mar-
HO an Englishman—her favorite,
HOrace Vernon., ''No fortune indeed,'
I repeated softly, 'and then,.clear as
a bell, I struck Op ttie old song:
Over and over again, with every va
riety of intonation, I sang the words
Suddenly 1 ceased. InstinctiVely I
felt he was nearing the window and
meditating - a descent in search of the
singer. Hastily .I fled • fear . lent
wings to'my feet; blidly I ,made
dash at the—clipped yew hedge-and
its labyrinthine .paths,*hen suddenly
I. stumbled, and Should have fallen
but, for the arms hospitably out
stretched to save me. Recovering
myself quickly I drew back with - has,
ty dignity and exclaimed in my best
French, 'Monsieur
Be - bOved.. 'Madeinoiselle, are,
you hurt?' he said, managing to in
fuse much tender solicitude into the
few words. Then, with a'quick look
at me, before I could answer, he add
ed:: 'Let me introduce myself. I am
Horace Vernon;; and you. must be
Miss Eugenie Everard. I have, been
hearing all about you from my aunt.'
- I bowed and colored vividly. 'Yes!
"La Blonde Mees,?" I Could, noti help
3 .
retorting with a 'smile.
`AI! -You overheard us?' he cried
with a ludicrOus expression of dis
may.
Anger and the demon of coquetry ,
prompted me then and there to take
oil my godmother, and I replied in
her voice her, yes ; love her,
no; fnrshe has no fortune.'
The. next moment, I felt awkward
and confused, for- 1- had hardly rea.
lized the meaning of the words: Mr.
.Vernon laughed. •
'Well,' he. said, promise.' •
. 'Promise what P
'To like you.' •
He offered me a well-shaped brown
hand, into which, after a moment's
hesitation, I put my Own. The fing
ers closed over it in a protecting
clasp and I Could, not but look up
gratefully into the - handsome sun
burnt face and the merry blue eyes
gazing floWn upon me, as I acknowl
edged the compact we were making.
Of course my readers will have
already decided that I, Eugenie Ey
erard. shall presently fall in love
with 'Mr. Horace Vernon; that-he
will reciprocate the tender feeling.
and thereby break his aunt's heart,
and upset all her deeply-laid • plans.
But-the clear-sighted reader does nod
know that I am turned nineteen ana
have . passed those important years
in the gay town of London, where I
have left an inconsolable lover. . A
certain Reverend Robert Dttneombe,
whose betrothal ring I. wear on the
orthodox finger, and whose photo
graph I have duly set in a large.
golden locket, with the touching.
Greek words A. E. L on one side;
and an impossible monogram of R.
B. E. E. in raised filagree work 'on
the other. •
Robert is of a saving nature, and
has limited our correspondence to
three times a week, but he never al
lows a day to pass without writing,
and the budget when it does come
is a daily journal of his uneventful
life. He wished me. to follow the
same plan, but I am not of regular
habits, and have declined to do more
than reply to the folios as' I receive
them. So much for my side. On
the other, there's a certain heiress
with a very large dot (millions of

Alt 0, burden upon bim . Eagerlv.he
availed himself 'of Madame d'Har- -
court's invitation to me, and. prompt
ly saw me off to . Soutliamptomofrom
whence I was shipped to St. Maio.
There I was met by the Countess's
man-oltail work Jean Pierre,and with
him - crossed over to Dinard, where
Bonne-maman lived in a bright, cheer- -
ful : , white house, with green jalousies,
standing in an old-fashioned gavien, -
being near the beach and ,the lovely
hay with - its glittering sands of
sparkling black granite. Madame
fdliarpourt gave me a hearty welcome
to Maison Malounie,-and Perrine,the
comely, . black-haired, bright-eyed
Maid, stared at me approvingly, and
admired my travelling garb of Eng
lish alpaca as much as I. did her won
derful lace:eutrs, fixed on with , gold
pins, and her black silk bib apron
over her neat stuff gown;
A month had passed rapidly, and
I . _ never wavered in my belief in my
godmother Until this fatal morning,
when I
: experienced
. the truth of the
old adage , sprat listening, had heard
no good of my - sof. • -I was nothing,
absolutely nothing to Bonne-marnan.
All her heart was with the young
man who had only just arrived from
England, with whom she had been
discussing me as a stranger. As if I
shUuld ever seek to win the affections
of an engaged man 1 - .Moreover. am
I not myself engaged ?. 5h..11 I tell
her, and make her quite comfortable ?
S'o ; I resolve I will no to clq so,
but let her .feel, if ever so slightly,
uneasy.
Yes, as we arc bcith ,safe, I will
make myself as fascinating as can.
tloraee Vernon is to marry Mdlle.
Berthefie Pontac, and I am to marry
the Rev: . Robert i so :there can be no
harm in a little flirtation, and I shall
let; things take their course.
Things do, take their course,: and
as very_ pleasant course it is., The
days pass quickly, and I have no
Buie to write letters. The Dillard
'bathing season•will soon he at its
•height. The Parisian world, inched.
ing Mdlle. Berthe de Pontac, will be.
here---so Bonne-manian tells me ;
Horace never mentions her. I often
long-to ask him aboUt her, but - a shy
feeling closes my lips. Do I dread.
.that her name slaiuld break the spell.
of happiness east round my life?
Alasl after some weeks of delight
ful
.
enjoyment,.the spell was broken,
and by Bonne-meman. . .
Horace had fired my imagination
by a glowing account of fresh-black
berries, the finest, blackest, sweetest
that ever were seen. Working upon .
my enthusiasin, he promised to .take
me a-blackberrying..
The next - morning, in high glee,
we sallied forth : he armed with a
stout hooked stick, I with a basket.
Past a cottage,• with a bright-eyed
maiden tending her pet lamb iii the
kitchen, while iher mother was sitting
at the spinning-wheel in the morning
sun. -• Through lanes so narrow, we
had to scratiible up the steep bank
to let the great white horses-with the
lumbering.wagoi sgo by. 'Through
bush, through briar,' we went and
never a blackberry did I see: At
last, I ventured to remark upon. the
singular fact of -the flowers and buds
&ping still in full blooM. I heard a
slight chuckle, and looking up at , my
companion's face, saw a mild gleam
Of fun in it. you must indeed
be • a cockney born, to think of ex
pecting blackberries in AUgust.' For
a moment I was put out, then joining
.in his merriment I contented myself
with the wreath of wild flowers,i . he
had gathered.
From this merry 'exoursion we•re
turned in high glee and good humor,
my basket laden with flowers, my hat
decorated with berries and brightly
tinted' leaves.. Bonne-mamas, con
trary to her usual hospitality, did
not ask• Horace to stay, and he 'went
oti there and then to his hotel. Then,
having removed my protector. I was
treated to a long - lecture On my reek
l6s disregard- of the proprieties.
Were these English manners' or.rattr
er the want of them ?‘ This running
about the country with young men
for untold hours, this liberty, was
unheard of in France, and I must, at
least 'whi!e under hei roof, conform
to French usages; unmarried girls
could not be too partioular. •
Conscience-Stricken; I coilld find
no words of excuse. The hot
.idood• dyed my face, unshed tears

morning was dear and bright, 1 and a
swim in the sea was a. tempting rem•

down leisurely to the beach. I was
late, and *when I emerged from my
'cabarie' found a crowd of gossiping
idlers in possession of. every s chair
and available seat. Not a nook or

couples, working,.' chattering, emok

Classically. draped in my white

to run the gauntletOf the assembled

I must pass them, vaguely wondering
if beach etiquette

for another dash—when a lady oblig

a polite 'c'est la.-mademoiselle,' and
I rushed . in to•hide my blushes-under

and the happy circle, I turned away
to the garden.
Hurriedly I went past the clipped
yew hedge, to the stone seat, on
which I sank and burying my face
in my hands burst into passionate
tears. _ I was- young, and this' my
first sorrow seemed too great a bur

hedge, waited breathlessly. They
were passing, when the treacherous
moon -shone out and bathed - me in' a
,flood of silvery light. A hand was
,kindly laid on My head. There in
all the glory of his six-foot ; stature,
in.the white shining moolight, stood
Horace, looking down With kinil and
pitying eyes upon the tearstained
face uplifted to him; and in the win- .
'Mg voice of old I heard ,my name. •

'Your ring. You should wear it

'And you,' I „replied; 'you too
should wear a ring. French hus

'But lam only half French,' he
laughed, and might marry au'

'Berthe de Pontac is very French,'
I returned.

'And too poor to marry one with

The words slipped out, and before
I could cough them down I was -in
his arms and smothered with kisses.
Ere I could realize my happiness
a discreet cough sounded, from the
path, and me started apart to see
Perrine slowly advancing.
'How touching. of her to warn us,'
said Horace. 'A fellow-feeling makes
us ; wondrous kind; she's setting her
cap for Pierre.'
'Her cap !' I laughed merrily :
'and such a cap!'
Monsieur Was ,wanted to. escort
Mlle. Berthe, and Madame wanted

I could not see Bonne-ntaman.
I trembled guiltily at the thought.

we parted—Horace to convey Mdlle.

feared she must, read my- secret on
my face' She' tamed away with ,
little sigh, and I felt a terrible, hum
bug. Ms, intense happiness fright
ened me, and in vain I tried to sleep.
At last toward morning, fell into
a doze, from which I awoke with a
feeling of coming evil.
The feeling was verified. The
next morning Bonne-maman was too
ill to rise. I sat near her, and after
awhile she said in a feeble voice,.
'Eugenie,' my child,. f.showld like you
to stay with me; always. if your_un
cle will not object. When Horace
is married I shall be very lonely
Wi:lyou stay, dear,

The .blood flamed in my checks ;
I stooped and' kissed her fondly.
Will not leave:you unless-,-untes
you send me away:
While I was speaking. the doctor
came. Alas, my dread torbodiugs
were realized ! Bonne-maman was
indeed ill, stricken with typhus fev
er.
And so my dream ended. llook ,
ed my last upon Horace. He was
obliged to leaVe for England, and the
doctor was to telegraph him bulle
tins of"Madatne d'lla court's health.
In vain he urged me to let the sister
of charity take my place beside her.
I was firm. A duty was before me
—clear and distinct (1 was needed
