 The Jesuit looked at him anxiously out of his keen gray eyes.
 Fortunately your majesty is a man of strong will," said he, land not to be so easily swayed as they think" No, no, did not give an inch. But still 1t must be confessed that it is very unpleasant to have so many against one"
 "Then there is the more credit to your majesty for having resisted then. You have done nobly. sire. You havc earned the praise and blessing of holy church."
 T trust that what I have done is right, fatber." said the king gravely. T should be glad to see you. again later in the evening. but at present I desire a little leisure for solitary thought"
 Father Ia Chalse left the cabinet with deep distrust of the kings intentions. It was obvious that the powerful ap- peals which had been made to him had shaken if they had failed to alter his resolution. What would be the result If more were made? And more would be made. That was as certain as that darkness follows light. Some master card must be played now which would bring the matter to crisis at once.
 The bishop of Meaux was waiting in the anteroom. and Father la Chaise In a few brief words let him see the dan ger of the situation and the means by which they should meet 1t. Together they sought Mime. de Maintenon in her room. As the two plotters looked upon her perfect complexion, her regular fea- lures, so calm and yet so full of refine ment, and the exquisite grace of her figure and bearing they could not but feel that if they failed in their ends it was not for want of having a perfect tool.
 She had risen at their entrance. and her expression showed that she had read upon their faces something of the anxiety which filled their minds.
 "you have evil newsr' she cried. "No. no. my daughter" It was the bishop who spoke. But we must be on our guard against our enemies. who would turn the king away from you If they eould.-
 Her face shone at the mention of her lover. "Ah. you do not knowr' she cried. "IHe has made a VOW. I would trust him as I would trust myself"
 But the ycsuit's intellect was arrayed against the intuition of the woman.
 -our opponents are many and strong" said he. shaking his head. We must bring the matter to an end"

 Do you dare," he cried, with Hash ing eyes, ito call the charge of my children a menial position? I say that there is no higher in the Kingdom. Go back to Meudon. sir. this instant and never dare to open your mouth again on the subject"
 The young man bowed low and walk, ed with dignity from the chamber.
 The kings first hot alip,r had died away by now and had left behind 1t a cold. bitter spirit which was even more formidable to his antagonists.
 But he had little breathing space. Ills assailants knew that with persist. ence they had bent his will before. and they trusted that they might do so again. It was Louvois, the minister. now who entered the room, with his majestic port, his lofty bearing. his huge wig and his arlstocratic face. which. however. showed some signs of trepidation as it met the baleful eye of the king.
 Well, Louvois, what nowT he ask ed impatiently. Has some new state matter arisen"
 There is but one new state matter which has arisen, sire. but it is of such importance as to banish all others from our mind-your marriage, sire"
 You disapprove of it?"

 '0ut of my room, sir! Am 1 to be tormented to death by your important. ties? What! You dare to finger when I order you to go.' The king advanced angrily upon the minister, but Louvois suddenly flashed out his rapier. Louis sprang back, with alarm and amaze ment upon his face. but it was the hilt and not the point which was presented to him.
