See how every princess of Europe stretches out her hand to him. The queen of France must be of queenly blood. even as the last was.” “All this may be overcome.” “And then there are the reasons of state. If the king marry, it should be to form a powerful alliance, to ce-o ment a friendship with a neighbor na- tion or to gain some province which may be the bride’s dowry. What is my dowry? A widow’s pension and a workbox.” 'V V. “navâ€" “Your dowry, my daughter, would be those gifts of body and of mind with which heaven has endowed you. The king has money enough and the king has provinces enough. As to the state, how can the state be better served than by the assurance that the king will be saved in future from such sights as are to be seen in this palace today?” “Oh, if it could be so! But think, father; think of those about himâ€"the dauphin, monsieur his brother, his ministers. You know how little this would please them and how easy it is for them to sway his mind.” who had dismissed her other objections with a smile and a wave clouded over at this. “My daughter,” said the Jesuit grave. 1y, “that is a matter which you may leave to the church. It may be that we, too, have some power over the king’s mind and that we may lead him in the right path even though those of his own blood would fain have it otherwise. The future only can show with whom the power lies. But you? Love and duty both draw you one way now, and the church may comm upon you and you upon the chum-11. It will serve you if you in turn will but serve it.” “What higher wish could 1 hate?" “You will be our daughter. our queen, our champion, and you will heal the wounds of the suffering church. The Hnguenots must go. They must he drivenforth. The goats must he di- vided from the sheep. The king is :1]- ready in two minds. Louvois is our friend new. If you are with us. then all will be well.” “But. father, think how many there are! And think. too, of their snfierings should they be driven forth!” “Their cure lies in their own hands.” “That is true. And yet my heart softens for them." ”Ii’em 3a ("huise and the bishop shook their heads. then?" “No, no; not if they are indeed 30.” “Can you doubt it?

Is it pnssible that the church has been mistaken in you? Do you. then, refuse the first favor which she asks of you? You would accept her aid. and yet you would give none in return.” Mme. de Maintenon rose with the air of one who has made her resolution. "You are wiser than I,” said she. “and to you have been committed the inter- ests ot' the ehureh. I will do what you advise." "You promise it?” "I do.” Her two visitors threw up their hands together. “It is a blessed day." they cri :1. "and generations yet unborn will learn to (leelll it so.” She sat half stunned by the prospect which was opening: out in front of her. Ambitious she had. as the Jesuit had surmised, always beenâ€"ambitious for the power which would enable her to leave the world better than she found it. But close at the heels oflher joy ‘ there came a sudden revulsion to doubt and despondeney. Was not all this fine prospect a mere day dream? l And how could these men he so sure i that they held the king in the hollow l of their hand? The Jesuit read the i fears which dulled the sparkle of her eyes. and answered her thoughts. i‘1You would befriend God’s enemifise “The church redeems its pledges swiftly,” said he. “And you. my daughter, you must be as prompt when your own turn comes.” “,1 have promised. father.”, ‘ Then it is for us to perform.

His better self turns in disgust from his sins. I have to see and speak with him once more, and I go from your room to his. And when I have spoken ' he will come from his room to youfil. or I have studied his heart for twenty years in vain” They bowed low to her, both together. and left her to her thoughts. An hour passed, and then a second one, as she sat in her tautenil, her tapestry before her, but her hands list. less upon her lap, waiting for her fate. Her life’ 3 future was now being set- tled for her, and she was powerless to COPYRIGHT. 1393. BY'KARPER Author of "Tho Return of Sherlock Holmes‘ By A. CONAN DOYLE, \turn in one way or the other. Day- light turned to the pearly light of even- ing. and that again to dusk, but she still sat waiting in the shadow. At last, however, there came a quick, sharp tread, crisp and authoritative, which brought her to her feet with flushed cheeks and her heart beating wildly. The door opened, and she saw outlined against the gray light of the outer passage the erect and graceful figure of the king. --w “Sire, one instant and mademoiselle will light the lamp.” “,fiiDo not call her.” He entered and closed the door behind him. “Francoise, the dusk is welcome to me because it screens me from the reproaches which must lie in your glance even if your tongue be too kindly to utter them.” LUUSUC UC LVU I‘LLA\.IJ sv â€"--vâ€" “Reproaches, sire!

Nay, sire, it goes 1.: mv heart to see you thus.” He was standing by the fireplace, his face buried in his hands, and she could tell by the catch of his breath that he was- weeping. “I cannot “do without you, Fran- coise!” he cried. “I am the loneliest man in all this world, like’one who lives on a great mountain peak, with none to bear him company. Who have I for a friend? Whom can I rely upon? Some are for the church; some are for their families; most are for themselves. But who of them all is single minded? You are my better self, Francoise. You are my guardian angel. What the good father says is true, and the nearer I am to you the farther am I from all that is evil. Tell me, Francoise, do you love me '2” “I have loved you for years. sire.” Her voice was low, but clearâ€"the voice of a woman to whom coquetry was abâ€" horrent. “I had hoped it. Francoise, and yet it thrills me to hear you say it. Will you be my wife, Francoise?” And so the moment had in very truth come. She paused for an in- stant, only an instant, before taking this last great step. but even that was too long for the patience of the king. “Will you not, Francoise?” he cried. “May God make me worthy of such an honor, sire!” said she. “And here I- swear that if heaven double my life every hour shall he spent in the one endeavor to make you a happier man!" She had knelt down. and the king, still holding her hand, knelt down beâ€" side her. “And I swear, too,” he cried, “that it my days also are doubled you will now and forever be the one and only wom- an for me.” And so their double oath was taken.‘ an oath which was to be tested in the future, for each did live almost double their years, and yet neither broke the Promise made hand in hand on that evening in the shadow girt chamber. CHAPTER IX. '1‘ may have been that Mlle.

BROTHERS THE DITRH AM CHRONICLE had passed. Louis in his innate selfishness had been so accustomed to regard every event entirely from the side or how it would aflect himself that it had never struck him that his long suflering fam~ 11y, who had always yielded to him the Ebsolute obedience which he claim- ed as his right. would venture to offer any oppositio. to his new resolution. He was surprised. therefore, when his brother demanded a private interview that afternoon and entered his pres- ence without the complaisant smile and humble air with which he was wont to appear before him. â€" ‘Ahm “A- wr‘: 'â€" “ y, monsieur. you seem less gay ‘ than usual today.” said the king, with a smile. “Your dress indeed is bright, but your vrow is clouded. I trust that all is well with madame and with the Due de Chartres.” “Yes, sire. they are well, but they are sad, like myself. and from the same cause." “Indeed! And why?” “Have I ever failed in my duty as your younger brother, sire?” “Never, Philippe. never!” said the king. laying his hand affectionately up- on the other's shoulder. “You have set an excellent example to my sub- jects.” “Then why set a slight upon me?” “Philippe!" “Yes. sire, I say it is a slight. We are of royal blood. and our wives are of royal blood also. You married the Princess of Spain; I married the Prin- cess of Bavaria. It was a condescen- sion, but still i (lid it. My first wife was the Princess of England. How can we admit into a house which has formed such alliances as these a woman who is the widow of a hunch- F hack sing-er, a mere lamprmaer, a man ; whose name is a byword through Eu- ! rape?" n The king had stared in amazement at his brother. but his anger now over- came his astonishment. "Upon my rural" he cried-z “upon my word! I have said just now that you have been an excellent brother, but I fear that I spoke a little prematurely. And so you take upon yourself to ob- ject to the lady whom I select as my wife!" “I do, sire.” “And by What right ‘3” “By the rig, jht of the family honor, sire, \\ 111011 is as 11111111 mine as VOUI‘S.

The king had stamped with his foot upon the carpet more than once during this frank address. but his anger blazed into a fury at its conclusion. Mount Forest Business College LE ADS IN “Do you dare,” he cried, with flash- ing eyes, “to call the charge of my children a menial position? I say that there is no higher in the kingdom. Go back to Mendon, sir, this instant and never dare to open your mouth again on the subject." The young man bowed low and walk- ed with dignity from the chamber. The king's first hot anger had died away by now and had left behind it a cold, bitter spirit which was even more formidable to his antagonists. But he had little breathing space. His assailants knew that with persist- ence they had bent his will before, and they trusted that they might do so again. It was Louvois, the minister, now who entered the room, with his majestic port, his lofty hearing, his huge wig and his aristocratic face, which, however, showed some signs of trepidation as it met the halet‘nl eye of the kin". “Well. Louvois, what now?” he ask- ed impatiently. “Has some new state matter arisen?” “There is but one new state matter which has arisen, sire, but it is of such importance as to banish all others from our mindâ€"your marriage, sire.” “You disapprove of it?" “Oh, sire, can I help it?” “Out of my room. sir! Am I to be tormented to death by your inmortuni- ties? What! You dare to linger when I order you to go!” The king advanced angrily upon the minister, but Louvois suddenly flashed out his rapier. Louis sprang back, with alarm and amaze- ment upon his face. but it was the hilt and not the point which was presented to him. “Pass it through my heart, sire!” the minister cried, falling upon his knees, his whole great frame in a quiver with emotion. “I will not live to see your glory fade !" U “Great heaven!” shrieked Louis, throwing the sword down upon the ground. “I believe that this is a con- spiracy to drive me mad. Was ever a man so tormented in this life? This will be a private marriage, man, and it will not aflect the state in the least Louvois gathered himself up and shot his rapier back into its sheath. “Your majesty is determined?” he asked. “Absolutely.” “Then I say no more. I have done my duty.” He bowed his head as one in deep dejection when he departed, but in truth his heart was lightened within him, for he had the king's as- surance that the woman whom he hated would, even though his : ife. not sit on the throne of the queens‘of France. "._V'â€" These repeated attacks. if they had not shaken the king's resolution. had at least irritated and exasperated him to the utmost. He wore accordingly no very cordial face when the usher in attendance admitted the venerable figure of Father la Chaise. his eon- fessor. “I wish you all happiness. sire." said the Jesuit. “and I congratulate you from my heart that you ha Va). taken the Away With Wealiness I Brace Upret Strongâ€"Get Fat.
