 "Why, surely. That would be the solution"
 "Oh, think you so? Your grace is wondrous keen as financier! Now take the counsel of Dubois, of D'Argen- son, my very good friends. This is what they will counsel you to do. And will counsel you at the same time to avail yourself of their advice. Tell all France to bring in it's gold, to enable you to put something essential under the value of all this paper money which you have been sending out so lavishly, so unthinkingly, so without stint or measure"
 t'Yes. And then?" - \ Why then, your grace" said Law. "then we shall see what we shall see!''
 The regent again cholzed with anger. Law continued. "Go on. Smooth down the back of this animal Continue to reduce these taxes. The specie of the realm of France, as I am banker enough to know, is not more than 1,300,000,000 livres, allowing 65 livres to the marc. Yet long before this your grace has crowded the issue of our actions until there are out not less than 2,60O,000,000 livres in the stock of our company. Your Brothers Paris your D'Argenson, your Dubois will tell you how you4can make the people of Ira ta hot tXnira two is not four, that twice 13 is not 26!''
 But this they are doing,'' broke in the regent, with a ray of hope in his face. ''This they are doing. We have , provided for that. In the council not an hour ago the Abbe Dubois and Monsieur d'Argenson decided that the time had come to make some fixed proportion between the specie and these notes. We have to-day framed i an edict, which the parliament will l register, stating that the interests of l the subjects of the king require that 1 the price of these bank notes should /. be lessened, so that there may be some r sort of accommodation between them and the coin of the realm. We have ordered that the shares shall, within 30 days, drop to 7,500 livres, in another 30 days to 1000 1ivres, and so on, at 500 livres month, until at last they shall have a value of one-half what they were to-day Then, tell me, my wise Monsieur Las, would not the issue of our notes and the total of our specie be equal, one with the other? The only wrong thing is this insulting pre- i sumption of these people, who have sold actions at price lower than we have decreed''
 Law smiled as he replied. You say excellently well. my master These plans surely show that you and your able counselors have studied deeply

the questions of finance. have told you what would happen to-day with out any decree of the king. Now go you on, and make your decrees. You will find that the people are much more eager for values which are going up than values which are going down. Start your shares down hill, and you will see all France scramble for such coin, such plate, such jewels as may be within the ability of France to lay her hands upon. Tell me, your grace, did Monsieur d'Argenson advise you this morning as to the total issue of the actions of this company
 Surely he did, and here have it in memorandum, for I was to have taken 1t up with yourself" replied the re- gent.
 'So," exclaimed Law, look of sur- prise passing over his countenance, un- til now rigidly controlled, as he gazed at the little slip of paper Your grace advises me that there are issued at this time in the shares of the company no less than two 2,235 ,OS5 ,590 livres in notes! Against this, as your grace is good enough to agree with me, we have 1,300,000,00O of specie. Your grace. yourself and have seen some pretty games in our day. Look you, the mer- riest game of all your life is now but just before you!''
 And you would go and leave me at this time?"
 Never in my life have forsaken friend at the time of distress replied Law. But your grace absolved me when you forsook me, when you doubted and hesitated regarding me, and believed the protestations of those not so able as myself to judge of what was best. And now it is too late. Will your grace allow me to suggest that a place behind stout gates and barred doors. deep within the interior of the Palais Royal, will be the best residence nights to come?"
 And yourself?"

Indeed, success was mine for some short months, though now must meet failure. have this to con- sole me-that twas failure not of my own fault. AS for France, loved her. As for America, believe in. her to- day, this very hour. As for your grace in person, was your friend. nor was ever disloyal to you. But 1t some times doth seem that. no matter how sincere be one in one's endeavors, no matter how cherished, no matter how successful for time may be his ambi- tions, there is ever some blight to eat the face of the full fruit of his happi- ness. Tomorrow I shall perhaps not be alive. It is very we'll. There is nothing could desire. and it is as well tomorrow as at any time"

claimed the regent, starting up and laying his hand on his sword. There is no punishment you do not deserve! You will leave me in this plight-you- you, who have supplanted me at every turn; who made that horrible scene but last night at my own table, within the very gates of the Palais Royal; you, the murderer of the woman I adored! And now, you mocker and fiouter of what may be my bitterest misfortune-why, sir, no punishment Is sharp enough for you! Why do you stand there, sir? Do you dare to mock me-to mock us, the person of the king?"
 ''I mock not in the least, your grace" said John Law, nor do aught else that i'll beseems gentleman. I should have been proud to be known as the friend of Philippe of Orleans, yet I stand before that Philippe of Orleans and tell him that that man doth not live, nor that set of terrors exist, which can frighten John Law, nor cause him to depart from that stand which he once has taken. Sir, if you seek to frighten me, you fail"
 r But, look you-consider," said the regent. Something must be done."
 AS I said,'' replied Law But what is going to happen? What
 will the people do?"

 at the deep lace of his cuff as though
 he were taking into consideration the
 price of a wig or cane, first, the price
 of share having gone to 12,o0O livres
 this morning, by two o'clock will be so low as 10000. By three o'clock this afternoon it will be 5000 Then, your
 grace. there will be panic. Then the spell will be broken France will rub her eyes and begin to awaken. Then, since the king can do no wrong, and
 since the regent is the king, your grace
 can do one of two things. He can send 8 body-guard to watch my door, or he can see John Law torn into fragments, as these people would tear the real au- thor of their undcing, did they but rec ognize him." ''But can nothing be done to stop l this?s Can it not be accommodated" ?" l Ask yourself. But must go on to say what these people will do. All at once they will demand specie for their
 notes. The Prince de Cont will drive
 his coaches to the door of your bank, l and demand that they be loaded with l gold. Jacques and Raoul and Pierre, and every peasant and payior in Paris , will come with boxes and panniers, ! and each of them will also demand his ! gold. Make edicts, your grace.

 The regent again dropped to his chair, his head falling forward upon his breast.
 'sBut what does it all mean? What shall be done? What will be the re- suit" he asked, his voice showing well enough the anxiety which had swiftly fallen upon his soul.
 As to that" replied Law, laconical- ! not controller of finance. Appoint Du- bois, appoint D'Argenson. Send for the Brothers Paris. Take them to this window. your grace, and show them your people, show them your France and then ask them to tell you what shall be done. Cry out to all the world as know you will, that this was the fault of an unknown adventurer, of 8 Scotch gambler. of one John Law, who brought forth some pretentious schemes to the detriment of the realm Saddle upon me the blame for all this ruin which is coming. Malign me, mis- represent me, imprison me, exile me behead me if you like, and blame John Law for the discontinue of France! But when you come to seek your rem edies, why ask no more of John Law Ask of Dubois, ask of D'Argenson, ask of the Paris Freres; or, since youl grace has seen fit to override me and te take these matters in his own hands let your grace ask of himself! Tel me, as regent of France, as master o1 Paris, as guardian of the rights of this young king, as controller of tho finances of France as savior or de stroyer of the welfare of these people of France. and Of that America whicf is greater than this France--tsll me what will you do, your grace?
