& De Maupin examined tho door, drew
down tho curtains Then, coming hack
and knecling before him, she said ]. PES,

. And rising from her knees to a scat on
his, sho.laitl her head on his breast. ard
with her tears poured out tho story of her
strange life. Honorable man that Philippe
Cassimir was, he proposed to mako AIIle.
dc Maupin his wife, but her free, lAwless
life had made her Indifferent to the legal
obligation which society, for Its oWn pro-
lection, demands as the final act Of such
an attachment. y 44is 5 ss#8
IT am ready to be your wife before high
heaven, but / do not propose to- be bound
by a law that Is violated when love dies,
but which is unnecessary whore love
lives, /" she said Her force OF character
and the blind force Of Cassimir,s unrea-
soning love overcame his scruples, and for
about year they lived as husband and
wife. But as Louis still dressed and acted
as a man before the world the secret for
the time was known only =, the two.
Meanwhile Louis made love to women,
which excited no Jealousy On Vnel aftlSt 9
part, and caroused with men, which drove
him wild, and soon sent him to his grave.
The facts of this narrative are taken largely
from memoir OF the artist, published by
his granddaughter In London 80 years ago,
and which gave Gautier his suggestion for
the startling story mile. dc Maupin''
Instead of changing her life tho death Of
her lover seemed to give an impulse to tho
lovemaking, gambling and wild excuses
Of Louis do Maupin. The fact that boards
wero not worn at the time aided the deccp-
ton, but why she should persist In max
ing love to her own sex is as inexplicablo
as Is their wild love for her.
When Louise dc Maupin was "a years of
age, although she then looked likea hand
some youth of 49, she won the warm at
tention, If not the love- Of the beautiful
young vito of Lord Cavendish, an attaehe
of the English embassy to Paris. 8sS :
A duel followed, in which both were Sc
verely wounded. Louise do Manpin at
once started for her home in Picardy,
feeling that the end had come Three
weeks after tho encounter she died from
the effects of gaDgrene. Greater adyen-
turesses there have been, but never one

an adventurous gallant which she had de-
cidcd to follow. A s # Il 4 IA " s#
Henri do Maupin had dropped out Of the
world s recollection outside the rural dis.
! trict where he was master. So when one
day handsome youth appeared ut the
court and introduced himself rs Louis,
Vicomte do Maupin," he was accepted
| for what he represented himself to be,
| and, as the name was an old and illustri-
| Gus ono. the salons and drawing rooms Of
the elite were open at the approach of the
beardless but fascinating cavalier. #
| And now began series Of adventures
| quite as remarkable as any thing recorded in
| the pages Of tho "Arabinn Nights" Louis
| dc Maupin plunged ut once into the swift
est current Of the frivolous and fashionable
world Of tho day. To use the pronoun
suited to the assumed sex, he associated
with the wild young spirits OF the city.
Cards was among the accomplishments
| taught by tho father, and in this case the
! pupil far excelled tho master.
Before Louis had been in Paris two
months he had misunderstanding over
cards with Captain Colby Of the guards.
A duel followed the next morning, and
| Colby, tho best swortlsman in tho corps,
was killed. Willis the whole proceeding
was in accordance with the codo duello, the
young adyentnrer found it advisable to SO
into hiding for time. Meanwhile stories
of his grace, youth, beauty, courage and
wealth were told with increasing exaggcr.
alton in Paris, and when he returned he
found himself a hero with the young roues
and an idol with the women of fashion.
Here at least one might think that Louis
de Maupin would have called halt, but
he did not. Never gallant since the day
love was first made by man to woman ever
entered the lists Of Cupid with more ardor
nor, strange to say, with more success.
Women threw themselves at his feet. Hus-
bands became SO jealous Of the handsome,
| fascinating youth that they forbade their
wives speaking to him. The wife Of NJ.

| Sabel, mayor of Versailles and master Of
the palace, committed suicide because Of
her hopeless love for De Maupin.
These intrigues were notorious and In
cessant. The consequence was duel after
duel, in all Of which this remarkable I'M
poster came out victorious, till at length
even the bravest feared to face his tnvinci-
BILE sword. s-s MRS XIX
Gautier, in his historical story, says that
| Mlle dc Mnupin's startling career in
Paris lasted only six months. As a matter
of fact, from her first appearance at the
age of Is till the day her life went out six
years elapsed--six years in which she lived
a century. i@ q. :. aEs
After being in Paris for nearly q year
she paid visit to- her estate, only to dis
appoint the old servants, who were devoted
| to her and hoped she would remain.
The strong reason for her return to Paris
was the friendship she had formed for q
young and handsome artist named Philippe
Cassinir. In this case nature asserted
herself in a most striking way.
Cassinir believed that his fascinating
friend, Louis de Maupin, was man, and
yet he confessed to himself that never be-
fore had man or woman affected him in
the same way. In the presence Of Louis
| this power of fascination did not influence
him. The two would sit In the studio,
|ssnoking, drinking wine and exchanging
stories Of love and adventure with their
top boots on the table or mantelpiece.
But when Cassimir was alone, the face,
voice and manner Of his friend haunted
him, and he could not account for the ir-
resistible yearning he had to be in the
young mans company. 4 r.
| This went on for more than a year, and
Philippe Cassimir's friends noticed that
he was fading away, and, learning that he
was in a state of decline, they advised him
to go to q warmer climate. Before doing
this he decided to consult with De Maupin,
| who had now become essential to his ev-
eryday life. y
Wait and we shall talk it over, Z said
Do Maupin. I" Meanwhile come to the pri-
vate theatricals tonight and hear me play

Louis de- Maupin had developed a liking
for literature and a talent for dramatic
representation that added to his--or her.,
popularity. The artist was present at the
performance. He watched his friend with
the greatest interest-an interest that be-
came painful anxiety when the change
