the unsigned commission before him,

handed y to Tonti, saying:
"ShaIlh on an ungrateful king! Ac-

the father at my hands. Go, and may

Tonti received his commission in ST.
lence, and after bending and kissing
the royal hand, left the room. La
Sale at a signal from Colbert re-
NAMED. Louis buried himself in q
lengthy document. Colbert called 20
him his secretary. He was the Comte
de Miron. White with rage, the min
lister whispered or rather Kissed into
his ear: did you see that man who
Just now left the cabinet?" The Comte
nodded. xiii mo him within "a
hours!" The Comte glided out by an
other door.
Meanwhile Tonti waited for his
friend in the Grand Sale. Not more
than 20 people remained, chiefly gath
cred about mademoiselle at the farther
end of the room. He Joined them, and
listened as mademoiselle related the
incident of Renee and the accident to
her chair. During the recital he
worked his way into a position near
her elbow. When she had finished he
asked in a low tone and with forced
Indifference, "and who might the for
tunate cavalier be who came so hap
PLY to her add"
"She did not speak hts name" Thea
in tones sc low that only Tonti could
hear, she added, with a spiteful gleam
in her eye, but she recognized him,

her head away. Tonti was dazed.
There was only n great explorer, and
how she could have COMPOUNDED him
self with La Sale he knew not.
Smarting with hunt pride and disap-
pointment, he looked across To the
other side of the group and saw the
lowering face and hate-flled eyes of
the Comte de Miron, and in that glance
he recognized his antagonist of the day
before.

our service. We think, ON the whole,
Sieur de la Sale, that you can find .

La Sale was about to speak when
Tonti, advancing a step and with a
meaning glance at Colbert. thus adj
dressed the king: +
"He indeed, sire, speaks truly when
he says that there were other re-
wards given me which I forbore, not
forgot, to mention: rewards received
from the hands Of an ambitious and
interruptions minister rather than
those of a grateful and generous
king"
"How now, Sir Capitaine!" angrily
interrupted Louis. I'VE like not to
hear such words concerning our chief
officer Of state"
Pardon, SIRE" replied Tcnti. "Soft
words are not always true ones. The
rewards referred to I shall enumerate
In a moment IL you have the patience.
My father brought me here a child.
He found a great king reigning over
a mighty kingdom with an empty
treasury. He devised a plan for the
filling of that treasury. You would
not permit him to carry 1t to conclu-
sion; you intrusted II to the unskilled,
ignorant hand Of your minister; 1t
failed. He studied the plan more care
fully and saw the merit of my fathers
minute advice, hitherto unheeded. He
tried again; he succeeded; and now
his successor sits here the second man
in France, while my father, to whom
all was due"
WAS amply rewarded" intefDosed
Louis, "and went back to Italy to live
in well-deserved comfort his remain
ing days, dying In peace shortly after
his return"
mo-" bitterly explained Tonti with
a menacing glance at Colbert. "That
was probably what his lying tongue
told you. All! Sire, the life of a loyal
soldier was eve mine. Through the
years Of rough campaigning, through
siege and sortie, camp and fleet, I per-
formed those deeds that you have
graciously enumerated, and returned
home to find the father who ought
to have beer loaded down with hon
ors awaiting the arrival of his soldier
son fresh from a hundred battles
Tonti stopped an instant as though
to gain control Of himself. The king
was listening earnestly. Colbert sat
with a disdainful smile upon his lips,
and a venomous look in his eyes.

well that to gain her influence meant
the favor Of the king. She was clad
In a gown whose skirt was Of silver

with fame-color, with coat of Gros de

Her hair was dressed in numberless
curls Zone on each side of the temples
falling low on her cheeks, tie&- here

which the magnificent pearls, once the
property Of the MARKETABLE de IHopi-
tai, were attached. A mantle Of gold

pied shoulder, leaving the other with

elbow. and encircled above by a gold
open-work bracelet set with opals,
while gloves OF c~ream-colored Brussels
lace covered her forearms and hands.
Right royal did she appear in all the
rcfulgence Of her v%oluptuous beauty:
the envy Of every feminine mind; the
shrine before which each masculine
heart bowed.
The two men, first on the outskirts
of the crowd, gradually worked their
way toward the center of attraction,
listening to the conversation Of those
they passed.

rrudes from necessity" remarked La
