ST PAICT COOS Mr TttlES, MAItBHFIELD, OREGON, FRIDAlf, HAY di. s -? - THE REFUGEE By A. CONAN DOYLE, Author of "Tlie Return of Sherlock Holmes" L COPYRIGHT. 1SD3. BY HARPER & BROTHERS J imiMiii iiiiiirnwnnim n mm i 0 (Continued from Thursday.) It was wltTf a feeling or curiosity, not unmixed with awe, that Amos Green entered the private chamber of Ibe greatest monarch in Christendom. As his eyes fell upon a quietly dressed, bright eyed man, half a head shorter than himself, with a trim, dapper fig ure and an erect carriage, ho could not help glancing round the room to see If this were Indeed the monarch or If it were some other of those endless offi cials who Interposed themselves be tween him and the outer world. The reverent salute of his companion, how ever, showed him that this must In , deed bo the king, so ho bowed, and then drew himself erect with the sim ple dignity of a mau who had been trained In nature's school. "Good evening, Captain de Catinar," said the king, with a pleasant smile. "I'ou must slay with me ami be mv wife." "Your friend, as I understand, is a stranger to this country. I trust, sir, thnt you have found something here to interest and to nmuse you 5" "Yes, your majesty. I have seen your -great city, and It Is a wonderful one. And my friend has shown me this palace, with its woods and its grounds. When I go back to my own 001111117 I will have much to say of what I havo seen In your beautiful laud." "You speak French, and yet you are not a Canadian." "No, sire; I am from the English provinces." The king looked with Interest at the powerful figure, the bold features and the free bearing of the young for eigner, and his mind flashed back to the dangers which the Comto do Fron tcnac had foretold from these same colonies. His mind, however, ran at present on other things than state craft, and he hastened to give Do Catlnat his orders for the night. "You will ride Into Pails on my serv ice. Your friend can go with you. Two are safer than one when they bear a message of state. I wish you, however, to wait until nightfall Defore you start" "Yes, sire." "Let none know your errand and see that none follow you. Go to the house of Archbishop Harlay, prelate of Tarls, and bid him drive out hither nnd be at the northwest side postern by midnight. Lot nothing hold him back. Storm or flue, ho must bo hero tonight. It is of the first Importance. Adieu, captain. Adieu, monsieur." CHAPTER X. ME. DE MOXTESPAX still kept her rooms, uneasy In mind at the king's disappear ance, but unwilling to show her anxiety to the court by appearing among them or by making any Inquiry as to what had occuired. While bko thus remained In Ignorance of the sud den and complete collapse of her for tunes, she had ouo active and energetic agent who had lost no Incident of what Lad occurred and who watched her lu te cbt3 with, ns much zeal as if they w . re his own. And Indeed they wero Jils own, for her brother, M. do Vi vo me, had gained everything for which lie yearned money, lands and profer ment -through his sister's notorioty. By naturo bold, unscrupulous and re sourceful, ho was not a man to lose the game without playing It out to tho very end. Keenly nlort to all that pasned, he had from the time that he first heard the rumor of the king's Mention haunted the antechamber and drawn his own conclusions from what he had seen. Nuthlnp had escaped hlui the dlseons' I. fin-, of monsieur and of the daui1 n tL- iit of Fere la Ch.iUe and Bo i.ttitlx 1 t'l's in n i, ln-r re turn, U n ii i li vln !' -'' 'i i" ' '' ,is as she came away from the Inter in a He hul het'ii Boiiteiiis huiry off t, I -ui ni'i Hi- .u iiil-.ni m t ii' 1 hw t, ,. 1 III- li . 1 ln4ii .

Xanon was half wild with excitement nnd that two court milliners had been hastily sum moned to madame's npartment. It was only, however, when ho heard from tho same servant that n chamber was to be prepared for the reception that night of tho archbishop of Paris thnt ho understood how urgent wna the danger. Mme. de Montespan had spent the evening stretched upon a sofa In the worst possible humor with every one around her. There was the sound of nn opening door nnd of a quick step In her anteroom. Was It the king, or at least his messenger with a note from him? But, no; It was her brother, with tho hnngard eyes and drawn face of n man who Is welshed down with his own evil tidings. He turned as ho entered, fastened tho door and then, striding across the room, locked tho other one which led to her boudoir. "Wo are safe from interruption," he panted. "1 have hastened here, for every second may be invaluable. Have you heard anything from the king?" "Xothlng." She had sprung to her rest. "Tho hour has como for action, Fran colse." "What Is It?" "Tho king is nbout to marry Mme. do Malntonon." "Tho gouvernnntel Tho widow Scar ron! It 13 Impossible!" "It Is certain that ho will innrry her." Tho woman flung out her hands In a gostura of contempt nnd laughed loud nnd bitterly. "You nre easily frightened, brother." said she. "Ah, you do not know your little sister. Perchance If you wero not my brother you might rate my powers more highly. One day Is all I abk to bring him back." "But you cannot have It. The mar riage Is tonight." "You are mad, Charles." "I am certain of It." In a few bio ken sentences he shot out nil that he had "seen nnd hoard. She listened with a grim face and hands which closed ever tighter nnd tighter ns ho pro ceeded. "I shall go nnd see him," she cried, sweeping toward the door. "Xo, no, Fraiicoise. Believe me, you will ruin everything If you do. Strict orders havo been given to the guard to admit no ouo to tho king." "Had I only a day, Charles, I am euro that I could bring him back to mo. There has been some other In fluence here that meddlesome Jesuit or the pompous Bossuet, perhaps. Only ouo day to counteract their wiles. Charles, It must be stopped; 1 sny It must bo stopped! I will give anything, everything, to prevent It!" "What will you give, my sister?" She looked at hlra aghast. "What! You do not wish me to buy you?" she said. "Xo, but I wish to buy others." "Ha! You see a chance, thou!" "One. nnd one only. But time presses. I want money." "How much?" "I cannot havo too much all that j on can spare." With hands whicirtrembled with ea gerness she unlocked a secret cup board In the wall In which she con cealed her valuables. A blaze of jew elry met her brother's eyes ns ho peered over her shoulder. At ouo side were tlneo drawers, tho one over tho other. She, drew out the lowest one. It was full to tho brim with glittering louls d'ors. "Take what, you will!" she said. "And now your plan! Quick!" Ho stuffed the money in handfuls In to the side pockets of his coat. Coins slipped between his Augers and tin kled and wheeled over the floor, but neither cast a glance at them. 'i'our plan?" she repeated. "We must prevent tho archbishop from arriving hero. Then the mar llago would be postponed until tomor row night." "But how preveut It?" "Thero are n dozen good rapiers about the court which aro to bo bought for loss than I carry In ono pocket. I will gather them together nnd wait on the road." "And waylay tho archbishop?" "Xo; the inoueugers." "Oh, excellent! You aro a prince of brothers! If 119 montage roach Paris wo aro saved. Go; go; do not lose a moment." "It is very well, Fraueolso, but what aro wo to do with them when wo got them? We may loo our lieads over the matter, It seems to ins. After nil, they aro tho king's inessengew, ami we can scarce pass our swords through them."
