tho Impression that It Is master-
Ills return
To this end It was that lite confessor.
Pore la Chaise, and Bossuet. the great
bishop of Maaus, waited one morning
upon Mine, do Malntcnon In her chnin
bcr. With a globe bosldo her. she was
eudeaorIng to teach geography to the
lame Due dn Maine and tho mlschie-
ous little Cointe de Toulouse, who had
enough of their father's disposition to
make them averiw to learning and of
their motlier's to cause them to hate
any discipline or restraint.
Mme. de Malntcnon dismissed her
two pupils and received the ecclesi
astics with the mixture of affection
and respect which was due to those
who were not only personal friends,
but great lights of the Galilean church.
The last few days had cast a pallor
over her face which spiritualized and
refined the features, but she wore un
impaired her expression of sweet se
renity. "I see, my dear daughter, that you
have sorrowed," said Bossuet, glancing
at her with a kindly and yet searching
eye.
"I have Indeed, jour grace. All last
night I spent In prayer that this trial
may pass away from us."
"And yet you have no need for fear,
madame none, I assure you. Others
may think that your Influence has
ceased, but we, who know the king's
heart, think otherwise. A few days
may pass, n few weeks at the most,
and once more It will be upon your
rising fortunes that every eye in
Trance will turn."
The lady's brow clouded, and she
glanced at the prelate as though his
speech were not altogether to her taste.
"I trust that pride doe3 not lead me
astray," she said. "But If I can read
my own soul aright there Is no thought
of 1113 self In tho grief which now tears
my hea;t. It Is for the king I grieve,
for the noble heart, the kindly soul,
which might rise so high and which Is
dragged so low."
'Tor all that, my daughter, you are
ambitious. Would you not lbve to
turn the king toward good?"
"I would give my life for it."
"And there Is your ambition. Ah.
can I not read your noble soul? Would
you not love to see the church reign
pure and serene over all this realm, to
see the poor housed, the needy helped,
the wicked turned from their ways and
the king ever the leader In all that Is
noble and good?"
nor cheeks had flushed, and her eyes
shone as she looked nt the gray face
of the Jesuit and saw the picture
which his words had conjured up be
fore her.
"My daughter," said Bossuet solemn
ly, "It is time for plain speaking. It
Is in the interests of the church that
we do It. None hear and none shall
over hear what paeses between us now.
Regard us. If you will, as two confess
ors, with whom your secret Is inviola
ble. I call It a secret, aud yet It is
none to us, for It Is our mission to read
tho human heart You lo e tho king."
'Your grace father!" She turned In
coufusion from one to tho other.
"There Is no shame In lolng, my
daughter. Tho shame lies only In
yielding to love. I say again that you
lo e tho king."
"At least I have never told him so,"
she faltered.
"And will you never?"
"May heaven wither my tongue first!"
"But consider, my daughter. Such
love In a soul like yours Is heaven's
gift nnd sent for some wise purpose.
We speak for the Interests of the holy
church, aud those Interests demand
that jou should marry the king."
"Marry the king!" The little room
swam round her. "Marry the king!"
'There lies the best hope for the fu
ture. We see In you a second Jeanne
d'Arc who will save both rtanco and
Trauce's king."
Madame sat silent for a few mo
ments. Her facje had regained Its com
posure, nnd her; eyes were bent va
onntlv iinon her tanostrv frame as she
turned over In her mind all that was j
Involved In the suggestion. i
"But surely surely this could never
be," she snld at last. "Whit king of
Franco hns married n subject? Seel
how every princess of Europe stretches
out her hand to htm. The queen of
Prance must be of queenly blood, even
ns the last was."
"AH this may be overcome."
"And then there are the reasons of
stnte. If the king marry, it should be (
to form a powerful alliance, to ce
ruent 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."
"Your dowry, my daughter, would
be those gifts of body and of mind
with which he.nen has endowed you
The king has money enough and tho
Kins nns provinces euuugu. .vs iu we
state, how can tho state be better
berved than by tho assurauee that tho

"Oh. If It could bo so! But think,

"My daughter," said tho Jesuit grave
ly, "that Is a matter which you may
leave to tho church. It may bo that
we, too, have some power over tho
king's mind nnd that we may lead him
In tho 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 yon?
Love and duty both draw you one way
now, and the church may count upon
ydu aud you upon the church. It will
serve you If you In turn will but serve
It."
"What higher wish could I have?"
"You will be our daughter, our queen,
our champion, and von will heal the
wounds of the suffering church. The
Huguenots must go. They must bo
driven forth. The goats must be di
vided from tho sheep. The king la al
ready In to minds. Louvols Is our
friend now. If you are with us, then
all will be well."
"But, father, think how many there
are! And think, too, of their sufferings
ehould they be driven forth!"
"Their cure lies In their own bands."
"That Is true. Aud yet my heart
softens for them."
Pere la Chaise and the bishop shook
their heads. .
"You would befriend God's enemies.
then?"
"Xo, no; not If they are Indeed so."
"Can you donbt It? Is It possible
that your heart still turns toward the
heresy of your youth?"
""o, father; but it Is not In nature to
forget that my father and my grand
father" "Xay; they have answered for their
own sins. Is it possible that the chinch
has been mistaken In you? Da you.
tneu, refuse tho first favor which she
asks of you? You would accept her
aid, and yet you would give none In
return."
Mme. de Maintenon roe 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 of the church. I w ill do what you
advise."
"You promise it?"
"I do"
Her two visitors threw ui their bancs
together. "It Is a blessed day." they
cried, "and generations yet unborn vrlll
learn to deem It so."
She sat half stunned by the prospect
which wrs opening out in front of her.
Ambitious she had, as the Jesuit had
surmised, always been ambitious for
the power which would enable her to
leave the world better than she found
It. But close nt tho heels of her Joy
thcie came a sudden rcrulsjon to
doubt and despondency. Was not all
this fine prospect a mere day dream?
And how could those men be so sure
that they held the king In the hollow
of their hand? The Jesuit read the
fears which dulled the sparkle of her
oyes. nnd answered her thoughts.
"Tho church redeems Its pledges
swiftly," said he. "And you, my
daughter, ou must be as prompt when
your own turn comes."
"I have promised, father."
"Theu It Is for us to perform. You
will remain in your room all evening."
"Yes, father."
"The king already hesitates. I spoke
with him this morning, and bis mind
was full of blackness and despair. His
better self turns in disgust from his
sins. I have to see and speak with
him once more, and I go' from yo,ur
room to his. And when I have spoken
ho will come from his room to jours,
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 hoiir passed, and then a second
one. ns she sat In her fautcull, her
tapestry before her, but her hands list
less upon her lap, waiting for her fate.
Her life's future was now belrjg' set
tled for her, and she was powerless to
"Jfarry the Ungl"
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 canto a quick,
sharp tread, crisp and authoritative,
which brought her to her feet with
Hushed cheeks and her heart beating
wildly. Tbe door opened, and she save
outlined against the gray light of the
outer passage tho erect and graceful
figure of tho Ctng.
