A. gentleman very richly dressed in black and silver advanced, as the door opened, with the assured air of a man whose rights are beyond dispute. Cap. tain de Catinat, however, took a quick step forward, and barred him on from the door. “I am very sorry, M. de Vivonne,” said be, “but you are forbidden the The angry nobleman stamped his foot and stared at the door as though he had some thoughts of forcing a pas- sage. Then, turning on his heel, he hastened away down the corridor with the air or a man who has come to a decision. “Forbidden the presence! I? You are mad!” He stepped back with gray face and staring eyes, one \shaking hand halt raised in protest. “I assure you that it is his order." “If I could have one word with the “Unfortunately, monsieur, it is im- possible.” “There, now,” grumbled De Catinat to himself, as he pulled his thick dark mustache, “he is off to make some fresh mischief. I’ll have his sister here presently, as like as not, and a pleasant little choice between breaking my or- ders and making an enemy of her for life. By my faith, here is a lady, as I feared. Ah, heaven be praised, it is a friend and not a foe. Good morning, Mlle. Nanon.” “Good morning,.Captain de Catinat." The newcomer was a tall, graceful brunette, her fresh face and sparkling black eyes the brighter in contrast with her plain dress. “Oh. her director has been with her ail the morning, and his talk 13 very. very good. but it is also very, very sad. We are not very cheerful when M. Go- dot has been to see us. But I forget monsieur is a Huguenot and knows nothing of directors.” “A note from Mme. de Maintenon to the king. You will hand it to him, will you not?" “Certainly. mademoiselle. And how is madame. your mistress?” “Oh. but I do not trouble about sneh differences.” “ 5h. if monsieur could talk to Mme. de Maintenon a little! She would con- vert him.” “I would rather talk to Mlle. Nanon, but if”â€" “Oh!” There was an exclamation, a Whisk of dark skirts, and the soubrette disappeared down a side passag .

Is it likely that the king would cast a public slight upon my family? From whom had you this pre- posterous order?” “Direct from the king through Bon- tems.” “Absurd! Do you think that the king would venture to exclude a Mortemart through the mouth of a valet? Go, tell the king that I am here and would have a word with him.” “Impossible. madame.

It pains me deeply to be compelled to carry them out.” “You may spare your protestations, captain. You may yet find that you have every reason to be deeply pained. For the last time, do you refuse to car- ry my message?” “I must, madame.” “Then I carry it myself.” She sprang forward at the door, but he slipped in front of her with out- stretched arms. “For God’s sake, consider yourself, madame!” he entreated. “Other eyes are upon you.” “Pah! Canaillei” She glanced at the knot of Switzers, whose sergeant had drawn them off a few paces and who stood open eyed, staring at the scene. “I tell you that I will see the king.” “You will ruin me if you pass.” “And none the less I shall do so.” The matter looked serious. De Catl- nat was a man of resource, but for once he was at his wits' end. Mme. de Montespan’s resolution, as it was call- ed in her presence, or eflrontery. as it was termed behind her back, was pro- verbial. If she attempted to force her way, would he venture to use violence upon one who only yesterday held the fortunes of the whole court in the hol- low of her hand and who, with her beauty, her wit and her energy. might very well be in the same position to- morrow? If she passed him, then his future was mined with the king, who never hrooked the smallest deviation from his orders. “If madame would deign to wait,” said he soothingly, “the king will be on his way to the chapel in an instant." “It is not yet time.” “I think the hour has just gone.” “And why should I wait like a lackey?" “It is but a moment, madame.” “No. I shall not wait.” Sheotook a step forward toward the door. But the guardsman’s quick ear had caught the sound of moving feet from within, and he knew that he was mas- ter of the situation. “I will take ma- dame’s message.” said he. “Ah. you have recovered your senees! Go. tell the king that I Wish to speak with him.” He must gain a little time yet. “Shall I say it through the lord in waiting?” “No; yourself.” “Publicly ?” __‘:No, no; for his private ear.” “Shall I give a reason for your re- quest?” “Oh, you madden me! Say what I have told you, and at once.” But the young otficer’s dilemma was happily over. At thaY instant the dou- ble doors were swung open, and Louis appeared in the opening. strutting for- ward on his high heeled shoes, his stick tapping, his broad skirts flap- Ping and his courtiers spreading out be- hind him. He stopped as he came out and turned to the captain of the guard. “You have a note for me?” “Yes, sire.” The monarch slipped it into the pock- et of his scarlet undervest and was ad- vancing once.more when his eyes fell the passage. A dark flush of anger shot to his brow and he walked sw‘jftly past her withOut a word, but she turned and kept pace with him down the cor- ridor. “I had not expected this honor, ma: dame,” said he. _ .‘ ' “I wished to hear my fate from your own lips," she whispered. ,“I can hear to be struck myself, sire. even by him who has my heel-t, but it is hard to hear that one’s brother has. been wounded through the mouths, of valets and Huguenot soldiers for no -- fault of his save that his sister has loved. too fondly.” » " ‘ . ‘ . “It 13.110 flmeto-sneak at such «e 119011 Mme. de Montespan standing very stiflf and 'erect in the middle of He cupped in front of Mr. ’9 THE 063W 'omsmmaonmhudm bemhomhiscloudodhrow andcompreuednpsncknewhhhto tum-Ito veil. her impummeu, her :2: 0:» public' expo-i0 which {fiusiness ‘ hunt. named-amt: LEADS at - BOOK-KEEPING ? run ‘3; SHURTHAND hitter end. hetero do would quit the TYPEWRITING position which was I0 den to her. 8h. 00 \1 \IERCIAL LAW spoke at her wrongs.

In his view he had raised her to the highest posi- tion which a subject could occupy. Now he was weary of her, and it was her duty to retire with resignationâ€" nay, even with gratitude for past ta- vors. She should have a pension, and the children should be cared for. What could a reasonable woman as]: for more? On the whole, his conscience acquit- ted him. But in this one matter he had been lax. From the first coming of his gentle and forgiving young wife from Spain he had never once permit- ted her to be without a rival. Now that she was dead the matter was no better. One favorite had succeeded another, and it De Montespan had held her own so long it was rather from her audacity than from his aflection. But now Father la Chaise and Bossnet were ever reminding him that he had toxiped the summit of his life and was already upon that downward path which leads to the grave. The time had come for gravity and for calm, neither of which was to be expected in the company of Mme. de Montespan. But he had found out where they were to be enjoyed. From the day when De Montespan had introduced the stately and silent widow as a gov- erness for his children he had found a never failing and ever increasing pleas- ure in her society. For a time he had thought that her piety and her talk of principle might be a mere mask. for he was accustomed to hypocrisy all round him. It was surely unlikely that a woman who was still beautiful, with as bright an eye and as graceful a fig- ure as any in his court, could after a life spent in the gayest circles pre- serve the spirit ot a nun. But on this point he was soon undeceived, for when his own language had become warmer than that of friendship he had been met by an iciness of manner and a brevity of speech which had shown him that there was one woman at least in his dominions who had a higher rc- speet for herself than for him. Am! perhaps it was better so. The placid pleasures of friendship were \‘O‘ff.’ soothing after the storms of passion. To sit in her room every afternoon. to listen to talk which was not White". with flattery and to hear opinions which were not framed to please his car were the occupations now of his happiest hours. And then her influ- ence over him was all so good! And now he knew that the time had come when he must choose between her and De Montespan. Their influ- ences were antagonistic. They could not continue together. He stood be- tween virtue and vice, and he musi choose.
