“1 w not# fifty years phi, I was
young then au.l I was studying law,
prone to sadness, it little of a dreamer, jiliilos
impregnated with a melancholy

the roistering students or the*grisotfo*
of the Quartinr. I always rose eapy,
and one of my favorite pastimes wS to
wander alone, about ft o’clock in the
morning, in the nursery gardens of the
Luxembourg.
“You others did not know these gar
d«is> They were like au enchanted
garden of a past century, u garden as
prettv as the sweet smile of au old lady,
Boxwood hedges separated the straight
and narrow alleys, silent and deserted
alleys, betweeu two walls of metlnak
ically dipped foliage. The gardener's
scissors relontlossly clipped these divi.l
ing hnshea. mid hero and there vou came
upon a parterre of flowers and plants
firths of young trees, set out like col
Ionian* on parade, magnificent groups
of rose bushes and a whole regiment of
fruit trees.
“One corner of this enchanted gulden
tvas given over to tlie bees. Their straw
houses set .at certain spaces apart, »n

about tut large as a thimble, and all
along the path the gilded anil Inwziug
bees, true douireris of tlirma silent alleys
corridors, real mistresses of this
I^aceful spot, flew in every direction,
“I used to go there nearly every
niornlng, and seating my self on* bench
would road; sometimes I let tuy liook

big the sounds of living Paris all around
tile, and enjoyed to its utmost the in

“But I found that I was not the only

“Eight days later we w-rr ft.rt friend, ,
aud I knew hte story. H. had been bol*
let master at the .qjer., d oing the reign
of Louis XV. H» bar.utiul cane was h I
present from CtermoDt. Mhen once
started on the subject of dancing then
was, no stopping turn.
“On* day he told me the following .
“ ‘l married La Cast, is, mt nsieui. I
but Will she present doc my not wife ouie to yon ut until if you latei wish, in j
- i |
the day. Tin garden is cur joy and !
our life. H u ill that remains to us of
our part. It t-tiiu to ,ts as though we ,
could not live vitbout it. It is old and 1 , '
distinguished. n not Hers „ I seem to
...
breathe au atmosphere which has not jAB
fdttc& the dnyti ot luy youth,
My wife and I pass all our aftenmon*
here. But 1 come alone in the mom
mgs. I rise , early.’ I
“As soon ae I bad fluisiusl tuy break¬
fast I returned to the Luxembourg I
garden*. Presently I perceived my old '
friend, who ceremoniously tendered bin
arm to a very small old lady dressed m
black. Tb;« woe La Castris, the great
dancer, beloved of the king, the favorite
of pnnee the adored of that gallant
reign which a*e*nr to have left to the
world on odor of love. i
“We Boated ourselves^ on «®» of th«
atone benches. It was in the month of
May. The perfume of flowers permeated
the air around us. A glorious sunlight
glinted through the leaves and cast rays
of light around 111 ' La Castris black
dress seemed bathed in sunshine.
“The gardens were deserted. In the
distance could be heard the rumbling of
vehicles, the noise of new Paris.
u i Will you explain to me,’ .1 said to
the old ballet master, ‘what the minuet
really was?"
“He trembled.
I* i The minuet was the queen of dances,
the dance of queens. Since there is no
longer a king, there is no longer the min¬
uet.’
“And then he commenced iu a pom
sws;»as£rrs?
* begged of him to describe the atejie,
t j,e movements, the poses. He became
ratiier provoked at my ohtnseness, and
turniug toward his grave and silout
oowpsnton he exclaimed:
“ ‘BlissI would you—you would 1*
most ehliging- would you bo willing
that we should niriov this gentleman
vrhat lt was?’
“She turned lie|ri|AsU«sa eyes on all
sides, aud lietng that wo were
alone shoir,we wit.U<mt’a word and placed
herself in ftrdnt of him.
“Then 1 saw a sight never to bo for
gotten.
“They went and came with infantile
griftlkces, smiling, balancing, bowing,
leeping like two old dolls that had been
set ^jncjug by an old fashioned mechan
ism, a little out of order, but coiistruct
ed in olden times by a skillful workman,
accordiiig to the prevailing fashion.
“And 1 looked ut ttiom, my heart torn
by,conflicting emotions, my soul moved
by an iudesOribalde melancholy, it
seemed to me that 1 was watching a Bad
yet comical apparition, the old fashioned
shadow of a past century. I wanted to
laugh aud could hardly refrain from
weeping.
"All at once they stopped; they had
finished the figure* of the dance. For
*oitte second* they remained facing each
other, grimacing in a most mtr)>riHiug
manner, then without warning they fell
into euch other's urms, sobbing bitterly.
“Three days later 1 left Paris for the
provinces. When I returned two years
afterward the nursery gardens of the
Luxembourg had beeu destroy ed. What
bad become of the old couple, without
their beloved garden of other days, with
its labyrinthine paths, its is'rfutnes of
the past and its gracefully turned
hedges?
"Are they dead? Are they wander*
ing through the streets of modern Palis,
like two exiles lost to all hopad Do they
dance, specterlike, a fantastic minuet
among fibs the cypress trees of acemstsrjr,
along pathway* bordered by tom 1#,
