LL-L _-â€"-“ -â€"i â€" She rose and, throwing herselt down upon the prieâ€"dieu, sunk her face in her hands for some few minutes. A tap at the door brought the lady back to this world again, and her devoted at- tendant answered her summons to en- ter. “The king is in the Hall of Victories, madame,” said she. “He will be here in five minutes.” “Very well. Stand outside and let me know when he comes. Now, sir,” she continued when they were alone once more, “you gave a note of mine to the king this morning?” “I did, madame.” “And, as I understand, Mme. de Montespan was refused admittance to the grand lever?” “She was, madame.” “But she waited for the king in the passage and wrung from him a prom- ise that he would see her today?” “Yes, madame.” “I would not have you tell me that which it may seem to you a breach of your duty to tell. But I am fighting now against a terrible foe and for a great stake. Tell me, then, at what hour was the king to meet the mar- quise in her room?” “At 4. madame.” “I thank you. You have done me a service, and I shall not forget it. Now : you must go, captain. Pass through the other room and so into the outer passage. And take this. It is “Bos- suet’s statement of the Catholic faith. It has softened the hearts of others and may yours. Now, adieu!” De Catinat passed out through an- other door, and as he did so he glanced back. The lady had her back to him, and her hand was raised to the mantel- piece. At the instant that he looked she moved her neck, and he could see what she was doing. She was pushing back the long hand of the clock. "oaptain de' Catinat had hardly van- ished through the one door before the other was thrown open by Mlle. Na- non, and the king entered the room. Mme. de Maintenon rose with a pleas- ant smile and courtesied deeply, but there was no answering light upon her visitor's face, and he threw him? self down upon the vacant armchair with a pouting lip and a frown upon his forehead. “Nay. now this is a very bad com- plimmt.‘ she cried, with the gayety which 5110 maid assume whenever it Was necessary to draw the king from his blacker huiziors. “My poor little dark room has already cast a shadow over you.” "Nay; it is Faihex' 1:1 Chaise and the bishop of Manx. who have been after me all day like two hounds on a std". with talk of my duty and my position and my sins, with judgment and hell tire ever at the end of then exhortations." "And what r9. muj esty do : "Break the promise which I made when I came upon the throne, and which my grandfather made before me. They Wish me to recall the edict of Nantes, and drive the Huguenots from the kingdom. You would not have me do it, madame?” “Not if it is to he a grief to your maj- esty. Rethink you. sire, that the Al- mighty ean himself incline their hearts to better things if he is so minded even as mine was inclined. May you not leave it in his hands?” “On my word.” said Louis, brighten- ing, “it is well put. I shall see i1 Father 1a Chaise can find an answer to that. It is hard to be threatened with eternal flames because one will not ruin one’s kingdom.” “Why should you think of such things, sire?” said the lady in her rich, soothing voice. “What have you to fear, you who have been the first son of the church?” “You think that I am safe, then? But I have erred and erred deeply. You have yourself said as much.” “But that is all over, sire. Who is there who is without stain? You have turned away from temptation. Sure- 1y, then, you have earned your forgive- mess.” “I would that the queen were living once more. She would find me a bet- ter man.” “I would that she were, sire.” “And she should know that it M738 to you that she owed the change. 011. Francoise, you are surely my guardian angel, who has taken bodily form! How can I thank you for what you have done for me?” He leaned for- ward and took her hand, but at the touch a sudden fire sprang into his eyes, and he would have passed his other arm round her had she not risen hurriedly to avoid the embrace. “Sire!” said she, with a rigid face and one finger npraised. “You are right; you are right, Fran- coise. Sit down, and I will control myself. But how is it, Francoise, that you have such a heart of ice?” “I would it were so. sire.” COPYIIGHT._1893. BY HARPER 8'. BROTflIRS would they have :qu B!) A.

And now, sire, the years steal on, and the day is coming when even you will be called upon to give an account of your actions and of the innermost thoughts of your heart. I would see you spend the time that is left to you, sire, in building up the church, in showing a noble example to your subjects.” The king sank back into his chair with a groan. “Forever the same,” said he. “ Vhy, you are worse than Father la Chaise and Bossuet.” “Nay, nay,” said she gayly, with the quick tact in which she never failed. “I have wearied you when you have stooped to honor my little room with your presence. That is indeed ingrat- itude, and it were a just punishment if you were to leave me in solitude to- morrow and so cut on? all the light of my day. And why have you not rid- den today, sire?” “Pah! It brings me no pleasure. There was a time when my blood was stirred hv the blare of the horn and the rush of the boom.s but now it is al! wearisome to me.” “And hawking too?” “Yes; I shall hawk no more.” “But, sire, you must have amuse- ment.” “What is so dull as an amusement which has ceased to amuse? I know not how it is. When I was but a lad, and my mother and I were driven from place to place, with the Fronde at war with us and Paris in revolt, with our throne and even our lives in danger, all life seemed to be so bright, so new and so full of interest. Now that there is no shadow and that my voice is the first in France, as France’s is in Eu- rope, all is dull aud lacking in flavor. What use is it to have all pleasure be. tore me when it turns to wormwood when it is tasted?” “True pleasure, sire, lies rather in the inward life, the serene mind, the easy conscience. And, then, as we grow older is it not natural that our minds should take a graver bent? We might well reproach ourselves if. it were not 80, for it would show that we had not learned the lesson of life.” “It may be so, and yet it is sad and weary when nothing amuses. Who is that knocking?” asked the king. “It is my companion,” said madame. “What is it, mademoiselle '2” “M. Corneille, to read to the king," said the young lady, opening the door. “Ah, yes, sire; I know how foolish is a woman’s tongue, and so I have brought a wiser one than mine here to charm yon.

From time to time she glanced across, ‘ first at the clock and then at the king, i who was leaning back, with his lace handkerchief thrown over his face. It was twenty minutes to 4 now, but she knew that she had put it back halt an hour and that the true time was ten minutes past. . “Tut, tut!” cried the king suddenly. ' “There is something amiss there. The second last line has a limp in it sure- ly.” It was one of his foibles to pose as a critic, and the wise poet would fall in with his corrections, however unreasonable they might be. ... .- o- o A. “Your majesty is perfectly righ ” said C . weille unblushingly. “I shall mark the passage and see that it is corrected.” He picked up his book again and was about to resume his reading when the king said: “M. Corneille, I am obliged to you for what you have read, and I regret that I must now interrupt your com- edy. Some other day perhaps I may have the pleasure of hearing the rest of it.” He smiled in the gracious fash- ion which made all who came within his personal influence forget his faults and remember him only as the imper- sonation of dignity and of courtesy. The poet, with his book under his arm, slipped out, while his majesty said to madame: “â€"â€" “I see by your clock that it o’clock. I must go.” “My clock, sire, is half an slow.” “Half an hour!” The king looked, dismayed for an instant and then be- gan to laugh. “Nay, in that case,” said he, “I had best remain Where I am, for it is too late to go, and I can say with a clear conscience that it was the clock’s fault rather than mine.” “I trust that it was nothing of very great importance, sire,” said the lady, with a look of demure triumph in her eyes. “By no means.” “No state affair?" “No, no; it was only that it was the hour at which I had intended to rebuke the conduct of a presumptuous person. But perhaps it is better as it is. My absence will in itself convey my mes- sage and in such a sort that I trust I may never see that person’s face more at my court. But, ah, what is this?” The door had been flung open, and Mme. de Montespan, beautiful and furi- ous. was standing before them. CHAPTER VII. ME.

She disre- garded her rival’s outstretched hand and turned toward the king, who had been looking at her with a darkening face. “I fear that I intrude, sire." “Your entrance, madame, is certainly somewhat abrupt.” “I must crave pardon if it is so.

' “ For ten years I suffered acutely from stomach trouble,” writes Mr. Maxwell Thompson, of Toledo “I always had a headache and dull feel- ing after meals. My appetite was poor. and I didn’t relish food. It was all due to a weak, defective stomach. I read about Ferrozone and ordered six boxes from my druggist. It was no time at all before I felt much betâ€" ter, and when all the Ferrozone was used I really took a new lease of life.
