The Princess Iippo of Hessclstndt had
never been in such biilllant spirits ns
upon that evening, and the young elec

ner of the gi eat white drawing room
after dlnnei with an almost loveilike
loudness But. she turned awa fiotn
him with an indlffetence that became
so marked that the Margravine, In de
spali. asked bet to sing. Waving aside
a ladj-ln-w altlng who arose to accom
pany her, the piincess sat down at the
piano and ran her lingers, Hashing with
jewels, lightly over the keys.
liaising her cjes fiom the keyboard
for a moment, a malicious smile cios.sed
her fate P,y a strange coincidence the
elector and Baron Hederlch were fac
ing her, standing together beneath a
plei glass In which sho saw the backs
of their heads lellccted. "Their char
artcilstlcs aie written upon .1 .square
of looking glass," she said to herself,
as she noted the almost massive pio
portlons of the elector's head standing
out In sharp contiast with tho nlett
poise of that of the baton.
Then she began to .sing to sing with
a passion and a meaning that weie un
mistakable. Oielg's love song, "Jib
Hebe dlch." her eves nunc than onto
meeting the baton's as the terrain rang
thiough the lofty chamber. The Mai-
giavlne moved unesally in her carved
oak chair, feeling conscious that a
m..stciy was on foot that even her as
tuteness could not fathom: and when
the song ceased theie was a significant
silence, which the elector himself bioko
by leading the applause
' Tho piincess sings well," he remark
ed to the baron, meaningly.
"Yes, sir,' 'the baron answered, look
ing him full In the face, 'and with great
feeling and tuie expiesslon."
I'oi a moment the ives of the two
men met, the electoi's Inquiringly, the
uaions coniompuiousiy, et with a
lurking fear In their depth
"You are an excellent critic, baron,"
tne elector .said slowly. "Her serene
highness sings with tute feeling, as you
bay. But it is not always wise to ex
press our feelings in public." Then he
joined the gioup gntheied nround the
ptinces.
To Hedeilih von I'gidy the billlimicc
and wnimth of the superb 100m where
the court was gathered glow gray and
old. A moment before, intoxicated by
the acquiescence of the princess in a
scheme ambition alone had prompted
and not the love he had so feivently
piotested, he allowed his gratified van
ity to betiay him. Tor a moment he
stood In esiluto beneath the glowing
cnndles on the plerglass, prudence coun
rellng the abandonment of the elope

silently entered the vviilnj carriage,
which was diawn up In the shadow of
the poitlco. The w heels moved neli-e-lesslv
ovei the thick snow, but the tat

women with alarm. "We shall be dlscov

Tor answer the Piluiess Iteno

but her lips were ftnlllng. The elector
tegarded the baton with open contempt
"Tho miriai-o is waiting," he s-ald at
length, offering his arm to the piincess,
but, turning to Baron Hederich, she
said: "What do you advise me to do?"
1 think, madam, that you had bet

and to his bewildeted mini it t-jf med
that her smiling fi'ce was not that ot
a woman whoso brightest hopes had
suddenly been shattcied.
' Ah, baion," leplled the piincess,

winced.
Still smiling, tlie piincess took the
electoi's nun, and tho slamming of a.
carriage door bounding thiough the still
air as tho Paris ttain tumbled In the
distance told the baron that his hoiiM-
of cmds bad tumbled nbout bis feet,
and that he was an exile.

vi hen they rcaclud the foot of the grand

It up or down, sit''" she aked flip
pantly, her foot upon the lowest step,
"to the deepest of jour dungeons or to
my apartments'."'
'The Countess von Vogel will eon
duct you to your looms, madam," the
cltctor replied, coldly; m.d, bowing jno
foundly, he dKajipeaied down a coiii
d it.
Tin' nevt morning a letter was
bi ought to the elector lrom the Piinros3
lien', asking for nn Interview, and with
a grave face the joung monarch imme
diately went to her boudoir, tho Coun
ters von Vogel leaving ns he enteted.
The piincess rose to receive him with
a shy awkwaidness In litr manner that
ho had never seen heroic.
"I know you must be thinking very
ill of me," she said, looking away from
him, ns he stood with his hand testing
on a table, "and now that everything is
ever, I I want jou to know that I am
not so foolih as I appear to have been."
"I am afi.Ud that I do not grasp jour
meaning,' 'the elector said, coldly.
The piincess moved nearer to him,
and as she came into the light he saw
that hor eyes weie swollen with weep
ing. "It is vety hmd to tell you," she said,
her voice bi caking, you ore so cold;
but I felt I could not leave Zatunhof
without telling jou that I never had
any Intention of eloping with B.iron
Hedeilch von Kgldy."
The elector started "What was your
object, then," ho said, adding, v.lth a
kinder not In his voice, "In Pllowlng

The piincess blushed, then giew pale.
'I cannot tell you," she stammeied.
Pot a moment the elector looked at
bet intent! v, then, ciosslng to her side,
took her face between his hands mid
looked Into her oj cs. "I think I under

he put his arms around her hhe bulled
her head on his shoulder, passionate

llke everything els that touches
huinaultj, where nothing Is born spon
taneously but everything Is the product
of a seiles of successive evolutions, the
waltz did not emanate In Its present
form fiom the btaln of a dancing mas
ter. Long befote 1TS0. tho time when
we find it llrst mentioned tinder this
name. Us graceful iinves and cadences
were displjjed on the village gteens cs
well as In the golden salons of palaces;
it had Its alternatives of vogue nnd
neglect, its suppotteis and dettactor3.
The waltz, like many other secular
things, we Hnd first In the church,
where, In the midst of barbailc dU
oider. It selves to tiace the union be
tween ancient civilization and that of
the middle ages The sacred dance of
the pagans Is pieseived to ,1 certain
point In I'htlstian iltes; It Is trans
formed to a seiles of revolutions made
to tho bound of tho tmnbouilne. St.
Isidore, archbishop of Seville, born
about A D. 5S0, was Intrusted by the
council of Toledo with the revision of
tho liturgy as It was then practiced
in the Koman church. In which there
was a tambourine dance The council
decided to adopt the Isldorlan liturgy
in nil Spain, and it dlffeicd but little
fiom that ited In other countries at
that time. This rite, celebrated befoie
the eighth centurj, when the Moors
first Invaded Spain, was still celebrat
ed by the Christians In the sc.en
churches of Toledo, whit It the Moors
abandoned after their capture of the
cltj. and was alter that time called
the Moorish rite.
This wns known and c-mplojed In
Provence and Italy. The tambourine
In use in this religious dance was called
bv St. Isldoio "moltio de symphonl","
and evidently coriesponded to the in
stiument which, In the undent Haeied
dances, accompanied tho flute, a. sort
of bagpipe Invented two centuiics B.
C And thus, as the religious dance ot
the middle ages Is allied to the ancient
taeiod dance, so the wall,: is an evo
lution of this religious dame, having
pass-ed thiough many change hetoie

in which the giand pi elates, kings, an J

The people and, nt this time, all who

the tourdlon, which, lighter nnd mote

little, It became changed. In Italy it

tho name of toinnnesca, mid from thero
