4AcAdAAA, \ W00AA 51Ou IL AlSuGse UG forever!"
 1t was the same John Law of old who made this impetuous reply, and indeed he seemed scarce changed by the pass ing of these few years of time It was the audacious youth of the English highway who now looked at her with grave face, yet with eyes that shone
 Some years had indeed passed since Law turning his back upon the appeal of the wide New World, had again set foot upon the shores of England, from which his departure had been so singular. Driven by the goads of re- morse, it had been his first thought to seek out the Lady Catharine Knoll lys; and so intent had he been on this quest, that he learned almost without emotion of the kings pardon which had been entered, discharging him ot further penalty of the law of England. Meeting Lady Catharine, he learned, as have others since and before him, that human soul may have laws in flexible; that the iron bars of a wom- ans resolve may bar one out, even as prison doors may bar him in. He found the Lady Catharine unshalSe- able in her resolve not to see him or speak with him. Whereat he ragged, ex- postulated by post, waited, way1aid, and so at length gained an interview, which taught him many things.
 Rejected, as he was now, by the new ministry of England, none the less every capital of Europe came presently to know John Law, gambler, student and fnancier Before every ruler on the continent he laid his system of financial revolution, and one by one they smiled. or shrugged, or scoffed at him. Baff1ed once more in his dear est purpose. he took again to play, play in such colossal and audacious form as never yet had been seen even in the gayest courts of time when gaming was a vice to be called na- tional. No hazard was too great for him, no success and no reverse suf1- ciently keen to cause him any appar- ent concern There was no risk sharp enough to deaden the gnawing in his soul, no excitement strong enough to wipe away from his mind the black panorama of his past.
 He won princely fortunes and cast them away again. With the figure and the air of a prince, he gained greater reputation than any prince of Europe. Upon him were spent the blandish- ments of the fairest women of his time. Yet not this, not all this, served to steady his energies, now unbalanced, speeding without guidance The gold, heaped high on the tables, was not enough to stupefy his mind, not enough though he doubled and trebled 1t. though he cast great golden markers to spare him trouble in the counting of his winnings. Still student, still mathematician, he sought at Amster- dam, at Paris, at Vienna. al new fhan~

ries which offered in the science of banking and finance, even as at the same time he delved still further into the mysteries of occurrences and chance
 In this latter such was. his success that losers made complaint, unjust but effectual, to the king, so that Law was obliged to leave Paris for time. He had dwelt long enough in Paris, this double-nat,,red man. this student and creator, this gambler and gallant, to win the friendship of Philippe of Or leans, later to be regent of France; and gay enough had been the life they two had led-so gay, so intimate, that Philippe gave promise that, should he ever hold in his own hands the gov ernment of France, he would end Laws banishment and give to him the op- portunity he sought, of proving those theories of finance which constituted the absorbing ambition of his life.
 Meantime Law, ever restless, had passed from one capital of Europe to another. dragging with him from hotel to hotel the young child whose life u1Si DOCh SoiSt 1Ai ollCA ACVCl1oA c1Au QIl- natural surroundings. He continued to challenge every hazard, fearless, reckless, conterlptuous, and Withal wretched, as one must be who, after years of effort, found that he could not banish from his mind the pictures of a dark-hoored prison, and of knife stab in the dark, and of raging, awful waters, and of a girl beautiful, though with sealed lips and heart of ice From time to time, as was well known, Law returned to England. He heard of the Lady Catharine Knollys, as might easily be done in London; heard of her as young woman kind of heart, soft of speech, with tenderness for every little suffering thing; beautiful woman, whose admirers listed scores; but who never yet, even according to the eagerest gossip of the capital, had found suitor to whom she gave word or thought of love.
 So now at last the arrogant selfish ness of his heart began to yield. His heart was broken before it might soften, but soften at last it did. And so he built up in his soul the image of grave, sweet saint, kindly and gentle-voiced, unapproachable, not to be profaned. To this image-ah, which of us has not had such shrine!-he brought in secret th1 homage of his life, his confessions, his despairs, his hopes. his resolutions; guiding thereby all his life, as well as poor mortal man may do, falling ever of his own stand ards, as all men do, yet marking ever .~Y~ IL .-vR things from her, for her, by her.
 There came at length one chastened hour when they met in calmness, when there was no longer talk of love be- tween them, when he stood before her as though indeed at the altar of some marble deity. Always her answer had

 By heaven! you begin to make somewhat more plain to me.
 "One thing beg you to observe mos carefully, your grace" said Law. Ind must it ever be forgotten in our undel standing. The shares of this ban must have fixed value in regard q the coin of the realm. There must b no altering of the value of our coin Grant that the coin does not fiuctuate and I promise you that my bank ac tions, notes of the chief bank 0 Paris, shall soon be found better thai gold or silver in the eyes of France Moreover, given a greater safety t. foreign gold, and promise you tha too shall pour into Paris in such fash ion as has never yet been seen.

 T found many things. For one, that this America Is the greatest coun- try of the world. Neither England nor France is to be compared with it.''
 The regent fell back in his chair and laughed heartily.
 Monsieur, you are indeed, as have ever found you, of most excellent wit. You please me enormously"
 But, your grace, am entirely se- rious."
 "Oh, come, spoil not so good jest by qualifying, beseech you! En- gland or France, indeed-ah, Monsieur Las. Monsieur Las!''
 Your own city of New Orleans, sire will lie at the gate of a realm greater than all France. Your grace will hand to the y6ung king, when he shall come of age. a realm excellently worth the ownership of any king"
 You say rich. In what way?" asked the regent. We have not had so much of returns after all. Look at Crozat? Look at--''
 tsOh fife, Crozat! Your grace, he solved not the first problem of real commerce. He never dreamed the real richness of America"
 Philippe sat thoughtful, his finger tips together. Why have we not heard of these things?" said he.
 Because of men like Crozat, of men like your governors and intendants at Quebec. Because, your grace, as you know very well, of the same reason which sent me once from Paris, and kept me so long from laying before you these very plans of which now would speak"
 And that cause?"
 "Maintenon.'
 stOh, ah! Indeed-that fs to say-'
 Louis would hear naught of mey of course. Maintenon took care that he should find was but heretic.
 As for myself" said Philippe the regent, 'heretic or not heretic makes but small figure. For us, 'tis most a question of how to keep the king in the saddle and France underneath.
 Precisely, your grace.
 Frankly, Monsieur Las, take il fttest now not so much to ponder over new worlds as over how to keep in touch with this old world yet awhile. France has danced, though for years she danced to the tune of Louis clad in black. Now France must pay for the music My faith, I like not the look of things. The joyful France to- day is a hideous thing. These people laugh! had sooner see lion grin. Now to govern those given us by provi- dence to govern, : and the regent smiled grimly at the ancient fiction, '.it is most meet that the governed should produce somewhat of funds in order that they may be governed"

EVER SAID SHE NAY

The coach proceeded steadily on it's way. passing in toward that quarter where the high-piled, peaked roofs and jagged spires betokened ancient Paris Aon every hand arose confused sounds from the streets, now filled with a populace merry as though some pleasant carnival were just beginning. shopkeeper called across to his neigh Dor. tradesman gossiped with gallant. Even the stolid faces of the plodding peasants, fresh past the gate-tax and bound for the markets to seek what little there remained after giving to the king, bore an unwonted look, as though hope might yet succeed to their sur S prise.
 Ohe! Marie, called one stout dame to another. who stood smiling in her doorway near by. See the fine coach coming That is the sort you and I shall have one of these days, now that the king is dead God bless the new king, and may he die youngi A plague to all kings, Marie. And now come and sit with my man and me, for we've a bottle left, and while 1t lasts we drink freedom from all kingsi"
 You speak words Of gold, Suzanne , was the reply. Surely will drink with you., and wish pleasant and speedy death to kings"
 John Law and his companions heard broken bits of such speech as this as they passed on.
 sAh, they talk replied he at last, turning toward his companions. "and shis is talk which means something. Within the year we shall see Paris up- side down. These people are ready sor any new thing. But"-and his face lost some of it's gravity+"the streets are none too safe to-day, my lady. Therefore you must forgive me if do not set you down, but keep you pris- Eoner until you reach your own gates. Iris not your fault that your carriage broke down on tue road from Marly; and as for my brother Will and my self, we cannot forago good fortune which enables us at last to destroy a certain long-standing debt of car Tiage ride given us, once upon time, by the Lady Catharine Knollys."
 At least, then, we shall be we'll acquit on both sides, " replied the soft voice of the woman. T may. perhaps. be an unwilling prisoner for so short time.'
