You have been false to your wife. and you have been false to your mis- tress, but it is only now that I find that you can be false also to your word.” She swept him an indignant courtesy and glided with head erect out of the room. ‘The king sprang from his chair as if he had been stung. Accustomed as he was to his gentle little wife and the } even gentler La Valliere, such lan- I guage as this had never before intrud- 1 ed itself upon the royal ears. And then : his whole soul rose up in anger at her. 3 at the woman who had dared to raise ‘ her voice against him. He gave an in- i' articulate cry of rage and rushed to i the door. 5 health desirab . “Sire!” Mme. de Maintenon, who had watched keenly the swift play of his emotions over his expressive face, took two quick steps forward and laid her hand upon his arm. “I will go after her.” “And why, sire?” “To forbid her the court.” “But, sire”â€" "‘You heard her!

Then she turned back and, dropping upon her knees on the prie-dieu, bowed her head in prayer for the king, for herself and for France. "bé Catinat, the guardsman, had em- ployed himself in showing his young friend from over the water all the won» ders of the great palace. vâ€"v De Catinat had arranged that the American should remain with his triend~Major de Brissac, as the time had come round for his own second turn of guard. He had hardly stationed himself in the corridor when he was astonished to see the king, without es- cort or attendants, walking swiftly down the passage. His delicate face was disfigured with' anger, and his mouth was set grimly, like that of a man who had taken a momentous res- olution.

The king passed on down the corri- dor and opened a door which led him into a magmificent anteroom, all one blaze of mirrors and gold, furnished to a marvel with the most delicate ebony and silver suit, on a deep red , carpet of Aleppo, as soft and yielding l as the mess of a forest. :"J' assistance.” ceiling to through th the evenin dainty 1i g prone upi buried in white arn coils of he order ac: ivory nee] - the worm card. f At the had glam ‘hn Iw‘nn v.- -v __..

Her broad white throat was thrown back, her eYes almost closed. her lips just parted enough to show the line of pearly teeth, her beautiful face not three _ inches from his own.

Francoise.” “Yes, yes, you‘ must be civil. I can- not have any unpleasantness.” “But you will stay with me, sire?” Her supple arms coiled themselves round his neck. Then she held him for an instant at arm’s length to feast her eyes upon his face, and then drew him once more toward her. “You will not leave me, dear sire. It is so long since you have been here.” “I Will stay,” said be. “And that carriage, dear sire, at the east door '2” “I have been very harsh with you, Francoise. You will forgive me. Have you paper and pencil, that I may coun- termand the order?” “They are here, sire, upon the side table. I have also a note which, if I may leave you for an instant, I will write in the anteroom.” She swept out with triumph in her eyes. It had been a terrible fight, but all the greater the credit of her vic- tory. She took a little pink slip of paper from an inlaid desk and dashed off a few words upon it. They were, "Should Mme. de Maintenon have any message for his majesty he will be ~ for the next few hours in the room of lime. de Montespan.” This she ad- dressed to her rival, and it was sent 9 on the spot, together with the kings order, by the hands of a page. CHAPTER VIII. OR n -arly a week the king was constant to his new humor. The routine of his life remained unchanged, save that it was the room of the frail beauty rather than of .\l me. de Maintenon which attracted him in the afternoon. And in sym- pathy with this sudden relapse into his old life his coats lost something of their somber hue. His walk was brisk- er, and he gave a youthful flourish to his cane as a defiance to those who had seen in his reformation the first symptoms of age. And as the king brightened, so all :he great court brightened too. The alons began to resume their former â€" viewer, and gay coats and glittering "Mulroiuery which had lain in drawem ' yews were seen once more in the -..~ ills o.’ the mil-ace. _The Montespan fl --.t:;'.>.;;:1 was crowded every morning "‘2 15.921 and w.>:;ieu who had some t) he urged. while her rival’s -..t:n‘)ers were as deserted as they ;-.-..
