As he placed his arm around her his
hand touched her shining belt.
Instantly a strange thrill ran through
them both, and Gustavus's arm seemed to
cling to Marie's waist.
"Marie, didst thou feel that7" he asked
earnestly.
And Marie smjlingly answered:
"Yes."
So they began dancing, aud as they
danced it seemed to those watching them
that a wonderful transformation came
over Marie.
Her hair, shaken loose from its long,
stiff braids, hung like a glittering gol-
den veil all around her, her beautiful
eyes shone like stars, and the dimpled
cheeks and pearly teeth formed a ft hid
lnR-place for the laughing voice that now
and then rang sweet and clear from ner
rosy lips. Not one of the village maid"
ems was half so fair as shell
"Surely," said the amazed villagers,
s'there was never such o handsome
couple"
'tBut is not Marie under q charm,"
cried others, ''she has suddenly grown
30 lovely7"
Gloves wltchery, if it is true and
pure, will transform all of us and bring
out all that is loveliest and best within
u.s."
AS for Gustavus, he thought rightly
that he never seen so good and beautiful
o creature, and he blessed the wizard for
the charm which had led his heart to
hers.

When M. lie Wizard returned to Paris
that winter, he read a scientific paper
before the savauts of the Academy,
In it he detailed many of his wonder
full discoveries and his work during the
ummer. But he did not speak of the
most interesting of all-how, by the
aid OF a little magnet, concealed in a
steel belt, and a rude ring, he had
brought together two loving human
hearts, and by so doing had caught
some of the happiness of Paradise and
imprisoned it in a chalet on old Obgadin
Mountain. -Pittsburg Bulletin.
