It was a wide, stone staircase, dimly limited here and I here. Donato ran down quickly. But there was an unaccustomed lump in his throat, that made him stop for a moment at the bottom, and draw a deep breath. "Poor little thing !' Tie brushed his hand across his eyes. Man-like, he was impatient of his pain, find half-ashamed of it. So he told himself that he was pitying his little (iiulietta, while in truth ho was pitying Cicsare Donato. Then lie took out a cigarette, and crossed the co.iriyard ; intending to borrow a light from the Madonna, before whose shrine a feeble wick was burning. Now beside tlie little lamp there stood a broken tumbler containing a handful of faded ilowcrs ; and these flowers caught his eye, just as he was about to touch the Uamc with the end of his cigarette. He recognised some of the orchids and edelweiss that he had sent her nearly a fortnight ago. And this was what she had done ! Poor child I Touched by the artless pity of the littlo offering, he put back his cigarette. To light it so would be sacrilege in her eyes; and though he smiled at his own weakness, he forbore for her sake. Then he looked up at her balcony : Dttt old Stefano was already (■one to his room, and iv the window there was no light. All tho house waa dark. The empty vettura. s'Ood in the middle of the yard ; tho ostcria was shut up j the stable-door was locked for the night. To lin_cr was idle ; so, buttonlrg his coat over th. old book she had given him, he turned towards ihe .licet. It was dark In the yard, and darker still iv the archway. Yet amid that depth of blackness, the seaman's keen sijrhf seemed to delect something— something that was not mere shadow. Was it a projectieli of the masonry ? Waa it a man standing up lint again, t the wall ? Whistling carelessly, but keeping his eye upon this unknown object, he w.nt on un hesitatingly. That lu.tnut tho liguro sprang upon him—grappled him with deadly silence—and rolled with him on the ground. CHAPTER XLVII. CHIIiSTMASEVK IN BAVARIA. A CIIRISI MAS meeting at Pastor Krctitz mau's-.o homely, so hearty, so hospitable —more resembled a clan-gathering in some Tyrolean farmstead than an evening party within the charmed circle of Munich sociity. For Munich society- governed by a Draconian law of etiquette, and stultified by the religious observance of a code of infinitely minute formalities—was at that time one of the most artificial in Europe. It oscillated between the extremes of servility and insolence; and it reproduced, at all events iv its three or four uppermost strata, the .tilted absurdities of Versailles two hundred years before, Bred under a despotism of precedence nnd educated in an atmosphere of petty ccrtmonial, the upper class Bavarian of that mimic Court was as learned in matters of genealogy as tho Gotha Almanack, and as .killed in the art of bowing na Sir Pertinax Macycophant. Ho spent bin life in the fcverißh pursuit of a decoration, a promotion, or a place ; and if balf-a-ccntury of toadyism chanced to be at last rewarded with ithe ollice of Deputy- As-i-tiint-Court-Bootjack-in- Waiting, he was forthwith translatrd to tbe^ seventh heaven of gratified ambition, and died con tent. It need scarcely be .aid that society com posed of Dcpu'y-Assistant-Conrtßoot-jack • in-Wnitinp, thoir patrons, clients, wives, families, aud friends—a society built up circle above circle, clique within clique, each duller, stifTer, more purgatorial than the one next below it—was not only the most arti ficial but the most portcntuously exclusive that our ccutury has beheld. A stranger armed with a diplomatic introduction-above all, a stranger with a title-could obtain ad mission to its dismal cotctiei without much dilliculty. Lancelot Lord Brackenbury, for instance, might have spent his Christmas Eve in any of the most jealously guarded saloons of Munich—nay, at the Koyal Palace itself, had he been so minded ; but to a " Yon "-less Bavarian gentleman, no matter how well educated or well mannered the social platform one step above his own was as hopelessly inaccessible as Mecca to a Giaour. As for the simple Krcutzmann family, they were as much beyond the pale of what was called " society " as if they belonged to some savage tribo unweancd from Hint implements and bone-carvings. _ Yet tbe Krcutzmanns themselves, in common with the honeit Bairische middle class to which thoy belonged, believed quite innocently aud devoutly in the sublime in fallibility of all these little Chamberlains, Marshals, Gold Sticks, High-Steward?, Equerries, a«d other '.'ourt functionaries who revolved at snch nn immeasurable dis tance above their heads. To them a Deputy-Assistant-Court-Bootjack-in-; Wait ing was invested with almost superhuman dignity ; while the King, and the ex-King, the Queen, tho Princes, the Princesses, and a'l the Kojal and Serene Highnesses of the family, down to their august seventy times-.cTcnth ceusins thrice removed, were godlike beings of whom it w.uld be treason to suppose that they were compounded of merely mortal clay, or liable to snch cracks and breakages as' plebeian pottery is heir to. And now Frau Kreutzmann's Christmas gathering was actually graced by the presence of a real, live fnglisli "Herr Baron," as godlike, as gifted, as superior to humanity in general a. any natiyo luminary whose titles were to be found in the Bavarian Court Guide. Surely the good soul would have been more than mortal, if she had not felt a flutter of honest pride when that same Herr Baron led her neice Kiitchen out for the liist waltz, and engaged tho baud ot Brenda for the second ! " You see him ? lie who danced just now wi th our Katcluu—that is the Herr Baron. He lodges at the Hotel Maulick. He is be trothed to Friiulein Winifred, That is she —that fair maiden sitting yonder in the corner of the room. She does not dance to night—she is iv too deep mourning. She only looks on. Beautiful ?—I should think so, indeed ! Beautiful and gentle as an angel! She is living with us for the winter —about to study in Herr Kriiger's atelier. Sho is an orphan, and has lately lost her last blood relation—a dear, sweet chlid? Already she is like one of ourselves. I don't know what we shall do when it comes to parting from her—Kiitchen and Brenda will break their hearts. For how long, do you ask ? Ah, that I cannot say. A year was talked about; but who knows 1 Perhaps they will marry before then. They will make a beautiful couple. And noble —the noblest of the noble ! 'Tis said he owns estates as big as all Suabia !'' [ Repeating the same littlo story iv almost tho same words, Frau Krcutzmann went round among her guests ; whereupon each plump Prau in succession held up her hands, opened her eyes as wido as possible, and (varying tho ejaculation more or less profanely) exclaimed :— "Acb, Himmel! You don't say so, Cousin Lisbethl— A Herr Baron! And what is his most high lordship's name and title?' To which FrauKreutzmanu, with as near an approach to the English as her tongue could frame, replied :— ''The Herr Baron, Lord Brankeuburg." The younger guests were even more in terested and more inquisitive than their elders. The giils gathered round Kiitchen and Brenda, asked innumerable questions, and listened open-mouthed to all that was fold them. Had the Herr Baron a Castle in England ? Why was ho not in uniform ? Why did ho wear no ribbons or decorations' Was.the beautiful Fraiilein also noble ? Had she " the florins ?" Was she fond of him Did he adore her? When were they to be married ? Most interesting of all was tho fact that those illustrious strangers were but just engaged. " It in aromaucc I" sigheda stout damsel, whoso two long plaits of magniliccit flaxen

hair hung down her back, tied wiih bin. ribbons. " But will there be ;no betrothal, feast? No cards ? No announcement in rli» Court 'Zcituog?'" "c To which Kiitchen and Brenda replied that the Herr Baron and Fraiilein Winifred wished their engagement to be as private as possible ; that, in fact, the Herr Baron was going back to England ai the end of tbe week. It was strictly a family party, and con sisted ot relations only. There was the Pastor's only brother, who kept a school at Wcilliciru, and there were Frau Krentz. mann's three married sisters with their .husbands and families; to say nothing of 'half-a-dozen maiden aunts, besides nephews nieces, and cousins innumerable. Most of these good folks were farmers from the neighbourhood of Partenkircho and the Walchensec ; one or two were timber merchants; but the most important pcraonage of the family waa a certain great uncle, who was a brewer and burgomaster of Stambcrg, and who was reputed to be worth a hundred thousand florins. In short there must have been nearly a hundred goes ts assembled that evening under Fa.tor Kreutzmann's roof. The elder women, with scarcely an ex ception, wore gowii3 of rich black silk or satin, with sleeves pulled at the top and narrow at the wrists, little shawl, of coloured silk or lace, and caps and apronß trimmed with old yellow blonde ; while two very old ladies, who came all the way from the borders or the Bavarian Forest, ap. pearcd in turbin-likc head-drc.se;. of dark mol-skin. One or two of the younger damsels who lived in the town and aspired to be fashionable, were dressed in white muslin trimmed with gay ribbons ; hut the rest like Kiitchen and Brenda, wore the picturcsque.hort skirt and embroidered cap which now only .survives in rutal districts, and liko most national costumes is rapidly becoming a thing of the pa^t. The guests aniUßcd themselves after the manner of middle-class Germans in general and Bavarians in particular. Thatis to .ay the elder men congregated in a room apart, smoking and beer-drinking. The young people danced in tbe best parlour, which was cleared /or the occasion; and the married women sat round and looked on. A couple of violins, two clarionets and a ilute, made excellent music in the passage outaide ; while every now and then between the waltzes, a part-song would be sung by four or eight voice., or come skilled per former would " oblige the company" with a solo on the zither. A nation that dines at mid-day, goes to the theatre at four, and comes home to supper at eight, issues it. invitations naturally enough for evening parties at five. Frau Kreutzmaim's gue.ts all arrived at the primitive hour. The business of the evening was inaugrated with coli'ce, cakes, and beer; dancing began a little befoieidx; and, because on Christmas Eve late hours were excusable, the supper was put off till ten. But the great event of the evening, after all, was Frau Krentzmann's Christ mas-Tree—that Chiistmas-Tree which for the last three days had been locked up hia room by it-df, uDseen by any eyes save those of Kiitchen nnd Brcnda, who were de puted to decorate it. This Christmas-Tree was the good Frau's invariable 'conp de theatre ; and her guests knew perfectly well that it was to be forthcoming. Neverthe less, it was 'de rigeur ' to affect entire ignorance of the impending event. "We have a little surprise in storo for you, by and by," says Frau Krcutzmann, lirst to one and then to anoiher. "Aha! you -.ill gee I Wait till half-an-hour before supper—you will sco I" Whereupon the nephew or cousin so addressed puts on a puzzled face, and pro fessesall the wonder proper to the occasion, In themcanwhile dancing wenton apace, each waltz ending in Bavarian fashion with a thundcronsstamp, sometimes accompanied by a loud " Hah I" in which all the per formers united. The Herr Baron, having done his devoir by hia host's two nieces, re tired from tbe held, and became a spectator for the rrst of the evening. It may be that he found these solid Bavarian damse.B moro interesting from an artistic point cf view, than light in baud to dance with. "Dots this amnscyou ?" he asked, stand, ing beside Winifred's chair. The couples were just pairing off for something .like the eleventh waltz of the evening. " Very much. They dance so well; and the music is charming." •* Doesn't it make you wish to take a turn also 1" "I ?" she said, smiling. "I, who never learned to dance—who have never seen ' dancing till to-night ? You forget what a barbarian f am." . • "Put it the other way, and say I fo.&w. you were so highly civilised. What ; 13 dancing, but a survival of barbarism—like tattooing, or the wearing of earrings 1 >ay I mean it. You should see how tbey waltz at some of these village festivals up iv tho mountain valleys!" " It must be very picturesque." ".Fict.resque ?-wcll, they spin round for hours together, like teetotums; and when they get tired of spinning they ex temporise the most amazing variations on the original figure. Sometimes the women will gather in a knot in the centre, linking aims and stamping, while the men leap and slap their thighs ; sometimes, the men go to the centre, while the women hop round on one leg ! It is as wild a piece of savagery as any Maori war-dance. For my own part I believe that all these popular dances are of remote antiquity. The Albaniau Greeks _ a ye a sword and musket-dance, which is undoubtedly a survival of the Pyrrhic dance. The Spanish Cachuca came from ancient _>ypt, castanets and all. And as for the Neapolitan Tarantella and Saitarello, you have but to come with me to-morrow morning to the Etruscan vasc-roomsat the oldPinaccthek to see them depicted as they were danced in Latium and Campania two thousand years ago." , > r •' Aud that is what you call a survival of barbarism!" said Winifred indignantly. "Now, to my thinking, it is we who are barbarians and degenerate. If I were en Albanian girl, how proud 1 should be to see my brother or my lover dance that Pyrrbio dance 1" . , " Would you not rather go into a comer, and weep for tbo glory that had become _ mere tradition ? Would you not ask, . Whoro is the Pyrrhic Phalanx gone! Give me rather our Neapolitan Saitarello —a classic survival, if you like ; but with nothing of fallen heroism about it. . " What is it, then ? What is it like 1 h "It is a remnant of the old Bacchic jollities ; and the dance, as I said a moment ago, is just like the wild groups on*the painted vases—all wooing aud rejecting, flyin" and pursuing. There is one figure in which the men pair off two and two, hooking their left legs one in the other, ana hopping back to back ; their partners mean while beating their tambourines, antt springing into the air like wild Bacchan tes." " I should like to see that! " I have seen it hundreds of times when I was a boy. We had a villa, you know, at Castellamarc, where we spent our winters; and whenever there was a popular testa, some half-a-dozen couples of youDg men antt girl3—our own boatmen and their sweet hearts gcncrally-would como in costume, and dance for us in the hall. It wasasceno worth painting-my father and motticr sitting apart, in two antique carved chairs.; the servants peeping over the balustrades oi the great staircase ; four or live tab, bare footed fishermen iv scarlet woollen caps, standing round with lighted torches ; .ana in the centre of tbe maiblc floor, the dancers whirling te the music of a couple of man dolines. How plainly I see it! How plainly I see the house, and all its surrounding -the loggia where my mother sat on sunny afternoons-the orange-walk where Lum ber, used to carry me to and fro, when MM a tiny little fellow-the old fashioned garden, terrace below terrace, . <VW Beds laid out in heraldic pattern* where you looked down upon the lamuy coat of arms emblazoned in u.in fa flowers 1" . .___,_.« " It must have been a beautiful place, said Winifred. " What has become M it'" ;'I have no idea. It was sold soon after my mother's death, and I have never Deen near it since." it " Would you mind taking me to seei-» some day, Lancelot?" she asked hesitating ly. " A doubled look came into his face. " I hardly know," he eaid. "» °™ way it would be a sad sort of pleasure, but . . . ." rtn " But the pain would be greater than tno pleasure I 1 ought to have known thaw ought not to havo asked you 1 Forget turn I said it, Lancelot." .. it Their talk had become so earnest wm they forgot all about the walUers and tno scene before their eyes. Now, UoWC\ erl they became aware of a general niovemeni, in the direction of the door. ~ • It was half-past nine o'clock, and w great event of the evening was about to com "Dear Fraiilein Winifred," whispered Frau Krcutzmann, |with a beaming conn teuancc, "will his Excellency the _w™ Baron condescend to ccmo and see o Christmas Tree?" (To be continucdon Wednesday.)
