"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE WOMAN WHO USED MAGIC
TO WIN a KING.
BY JAMES C. YOUNG.

C HE was naughty beauty who cast
- her eyes upon Louis NV and as
pired TO win a place beside him. BUT
the "Grande Monarque" would seem to
have paid but little attention 10 her.
So the Marqulse de Montespan deter
mined 20 win him by the use of magic.
In which she was believer. She paid
switches" 10 help her, bought "love
powders" which she secretly dropped
into the kings wine, and resorted to
many other foolish means. Then, IN
1866, she had the 'hlack mass 81 1
over her, a degrading and somew1nt
horrible ceremony which alles 4
priests of magic had invented.
No doubt the marqulse thought that
this mass was successful, for the next
year she became mistress OF the king.

craft, obtained high honors for her IA
vorites, and generally comported her.

wont 10 do In all ages. She coupled an
imperious temper with her beauty, and
no doubt Louis spent many bad quar-

the marquise and his queen, Maria
Theresa, were az swords point. De
Montespan became the mother OF sew
sral children. She selected Madam
scarron, afterward the MarquIse de
MaIntenon, 10 direct their education.
This threw Louis Into the company OF
DE Maintenon, and IL soon became ap-
parent that his love was wavering.
When De Montcspan found her pow

and II may be believed that she tried
every conceivable means 10 maintain
her hold on Louis. Love powders"
again came into play and one Of these
made the king 80 III that she was sus-
pected OF trying TO poison him. This
led TO an open rupture and not long
afterwnrt she left court. much 10 the

was of devout characteT. simple,
unpretentious woman, who never could
cope with the marquise. But her new
hopes were destined 70 be disap-
pointed.
When De Montespan died In 17O7
Louis forbade her children by him 10

callous heart. There were seven OF
these children, all legitimatIzed, and II
