(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

niioui iiu employed anions u? kihumk
ho learned that an unwonted bustle
was going forward, in Mme. do Mnin
teuon's room, that Mile. 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."
