Seated at her toilet in a magnifi-
cent salCn at Nersail' es, the March
ioness de Montespan was listening to
| the batteries of the swarm of courtiers
always eager to do her homage. 1t
was a reception night at court, and
Nine. de Montespan had appeared
with her hair decorated with pearls
| and adorned with crown of white
| roses.
The Duke of Longueville was an
nounced.
The beautiful Montespan addressed
him one of those looks which had
melted the great Louis and asked if
| his outfit was ready and he would
soon be on his way, adding a few ques-
tions suggested by politeness and in
terest which she could not deny the
nephew of the prince. The responses
of the young duke were very meas
ured.
Every one was specializing on the
departure of the king and his follow
ers. No one, excepting perhaps the
| favorite, knew the plan of the cam
| paign. Some talked of the Jasci,
Others of the Rhine, and others again
on the siege OF Maestricht.

| pan, you know the country. Did
you not visit it two years since during
that journey from which you returned
so sad and suffering?n
The prince did not answer. His
eyes were fastened on the crown of
roses. He saw again little chamber
in an old stone mansion, he saw again
| the features of an angel wreathing
| these same white flowers. And he
contemplated those same angel fea-
lures believed with tears and looking
up with locks disordered from his
knees, at which they pleaded des-
pairingly;
Louis, you are leaving me. When
| shall | see you again.
| His lips had responded. Soon
His conscience had said. Never
| And from that day his soul had been
| filled with remorse.
Nine. de Montespan smiled at that
reverie.

tracted, duke" she observed "You
are apparently engrossed with your
future"
