CHAPTER X (Continued).

It is J"10 hcr heavenly goodness."
Do you see nothing but lior heavenly

W. opportunity to sign away my rights,
,nd falling that, the opportunity of taking
th'gupposlnc yu nre Motwelgnour the
dauphin, wo will let our supposition run
a far as this."
I saw distinctly the position of Louis
XVIII Marnuls do Plcssy had told mo
ke was a mass of superstition. No doubt
hi had behaved, as Ilellcngcr said, for
the good of tho royalist cause. Hut tho
unction of heaven was not on his be
havior Bonaparte was let loose on htm
like the dragon from the pit. And
Frenchmen, after yawning II months or
o In the King's august face, threw up
Jh.ir hats for tho dragon.
I never havo seen tho most stupid man
iinubt his power to rldo If somebody
hoists him Into the saddle.
"Let us go further with our supposl.
tlons" I said. "Suppose I decline?"
I heard Madame do Ferrlor gasp.
Tho priest raised his eyebrows.
'In that case you will bo quite willing
to give mo a signed paper declaring your
reasons."
"I sign no paper.
"Let me suggest that MoyrsclKncur Is
not consistent. Ho neither resigns his
supposed rights nor will ho excrcUo
then)-" ...
"I will neither resign them nor cxerclso
"This Is virtually resigning them "
Tho abbo will pardon mo tor saying
It Is not. My rights are mine, whether I

"Your position Is Incredible," said the
priest.
"I do not belittle the prospect you open
before mo. I seo the practical dlfflcul
ties, but I see well tho mngnlnccnce be
yond them."
"Tncn why do you hesitate?"
. 1"I,,nt. hesitate. A man Is contempt!
bio who stands shivering and longing out
side of what he dare not attempt. I
would dare If I longed. Hut I don't long."
"Monsolgncur believes there will bo com
plications?" "I know my own obstinacy. A man who
tried to work mo with strings behind a
throne would think he wob struck by

"Sire," Madamo de Fcrrler citake out,
"this Is the hour of my life. Take

I got It My uncle of Trovence has noth
ing to give me Ho Merely says, 'My
dear dauphin, If Europe knocks Napoleon
down, will you kindly tako hold of n
crank which Is too heavy for me, and turn
It for the good of the Bourbons? We may
thus keep the royal machine In the
family!' "
"You havo given no ndequato reason
for declining this offer," said the priest.
"I will give no reason. I simply de
cline." "Is this tho explanation that I shall
make to Madame d'Angoulemo? Think of
tho tender sister who says 'Louis, you
aro recalled!' "
"I do think of her. God bless her!"
"Must I tell her that Monsclgncur plant
ed his feet llko one of thoso wld cattle,
and wheeled, and fed from tho contem
plation of a throne?"
"You will dresa It up In your own felic
itous way, monsieur"
"What do jou wish me to say?"
"That I decline. I havo not pressed the
embarrassing question of why I was not
recalled long ago. I reserve to mjselt
the prlvtlcgo of declining without saying
why I decline"
"He must be made to change his mind.
monsieur!" Madame do Ferric exclnlmcd
"I am not a man that changes his mind
every time tho clock strikes."
I took the padlocked book out ot my
breast and laid It upon the table. I
looked nt tho priest, not nt her. The
padlocked book seemed to have no moio
to do with tho conversation than a hat
or n pair of gloves.
Sho set hcr clenched hands on her
knees.
"Sire!"
I faced her. The coldest look I ever
saw In her gray eyes repelled me, as sho
deliberately said:
"You ore not such a fool !"
I stared back as coldly nnd sternly, and
deliberately nnswered:
"I am Just such a fool !"
"Consider how any person who might
ho to blame for our decision would de
spise you for It af tcrwnrds !"
"A boy In the flrst Hush of his youth,"
Abbe Edgeworth said, his lino Jaws
squared with a grin, "might throw away
a kingdom for some woman who took his
fnncy, ntSd whom he could not have, per
haps, unless he did throw his kingdom
away And after ho had done It ho would
hate tho woman But a joung man In
his strength doesn't do such things 1"
"A king who hasn't spirit tc be a king!"
Madame de Fcrricr mocked.
1 mercilessly faced her down.
