(These short serial stories aro copy righted by Haeheller, Johnson & Bachel lcr. olid are printed In The Tribune by Fpccinl arrangement, Himultuneous with their appe&runcu In the leading dully Journuls of the large cities). The queon, whose face Was flUsliP'l with fevi-r, miule a fretful movement, liut did tint answer. "Sin ymi wish in; 'to ask lilm?" Henry suiil with admirable patience. "JI ynu think It Is worth while," she muttered, tUi'nliiK HUllenly and eyeing mo fnmi the middli; of her pillows with disdain and Ill-temper. "I will, then," he answered, and he turned -to .me. "M. do Uomiy," he said, In a formal tone, which even without the unaccustomed monsieur cut me to the heart, "he Kood enough to tell the queen how the key to my secret cipher, which I intrusted lo you, has come to be In Mme. de Venieull's possession." I lookf-d at him In the profoundent Astonishment, und for a moment re mained silent, trying to collect my thoughts under Oils unexpected blow. Tim queen saw my hesitation and lauK-hed spitefully.. "I am afraid, sire," fhe said, "that you have overrated this K-'Utleman's ingenuity, thouwh doubt less it has been much exercised in your Service." , Henry's face j;row red with vexation. "Speiik, man!" he cried. "How came Fhe by It?" '.'Mine, do Verneuil?" I said. - The queen laughed aKaliu "Had you Jiot better take him out first, sir?" she said, scornfully, "and tell lilm what to nay?"- , .. 1. " 'Fore'Rod, madnmel" the klnir cried passionately, "you try me too far! Have I -not told yon a hundred times, and sworn to you, Mia,t I did nut give Mine, de Verneuil this key?" "If you did not give her that," the queen muttered, sullenly, picking ut th silken coverlid which lay on her feet, "you Jiave given her all else. You cannot deny It." Henry let a gesture of despair escape Win. "Are we' to go back to that?" he nald. Then turning to me: "Tell her," ho said, between his teeth; "-and tell we. Ventre' Saint Oris are you dumb, man?" Discerning nothing for It at the mo ment nave to bow before this storm, which had arisen so suddenly, , and from a quarter the least expected, I .hastened to comply. 1 had not pro ceeded far with my story, however which fell short, of course, of explain ing how the key came to be In Mma. rle Verneull's hands before I saw that It won no credence with the queen, but rather confirmed her in her belief that the king had given to another what-he lirtd denied , to her. And more, I paw that . In "proportion as the tale failed to convince her. It excited the Muff's wrath and disappointment. He several times cut me Rhort with expres sions of the utmost Impatience, ard at last, when I came to a lame conclusion since I could explain nothing ex cept that the key was gone he could restrain himself no longer. In a tone In which he had never addressed me before, he asked me why I had not, on the Instant, communicated the loss to him; and when I would have defended myself by adducing the reason I had given above, overwhelmed me with abuse and reproaches, which, as they were uttered in the queen's presence, and would be repeated, I knew, to the Conclnls and Oaligais of her suite, who had no occasion to love me, carried a double sting. Nevertheless, for a time,- and until he had somewhat worn himself out, I let Henry proceed. Then, taking ad vantage of the first pause, I Interposed. Reminding Mm that he .had never had cause to accuse me of carelessness be foie, I recalled the twenty-two years in sheer dismay. Then his chagrin turned to anger, which, as he dared not vent It on 'her, took my direction. He pointed impetuously to the door. "He gon, sir!" he said In a passion, and with the uttermost harshness. "You have done mischief enough here. God grant that we see the end of it Oo go!" he continued, quite beside himself with fury. "Send Uallgai .here, and do you go to your lodging until you hear from me!" Overwhelmed and almost stupefied by the catastrophe, I found my way out, I hardly knew how, and sending in the woman made my escape from the ante-chamber. But hasten as I might, my disorder, patent to a hundred curi ous eyes, betrayed me; and, If it did not disclose as much as I feared or the in quisitive desired, told more than any had looked to learn. Within an hour it was known at Nemours t it Jiia "Begone, Sir," lie Said. during which I had served him faith fully, and the enmities I had incurred for his sake; and having by these means placed the discussion on a more equal footing, I descended again to par ticulars, and asked respectfully If I might know on whose authority Mme. de Verneuil was said to have the cipher. "On the own!" the queen cried hys terically. "Don't try to deceive me, for it Willi be In vain. I know she has It; and if the king did not give it to her, who did?" "That is the question, madame," I said. "If Is one easily answered," she re torted. "If you do not know, ask .her." "Hut, perhaps, madame, she will not answer," I ventured. "Then command her to answer In the king's name!" the queen replied, her cheeks burmlng with fever. "And if will not, then -has the king no firlsons no fetters smooth enough for those dailnty a.nkles?" . This was a home question, and Hen ry, who never allowed to less advantage than when he atood between two .wo men, cast a sheepish glance at me. Un fortunately the queeen caught the look, which wus not Intended for her; and on the Instant it awoke all her former sutplelons. Supposing that she had dis covered our collusion, Bhe flung her self 'back with a cry of rage, arid, burst ing into a passion of tears, gave way to frantic reproaches, wailing and throwing herself about with a violence which could not but injure one in her condition. The king stared at her for a moment majesty had dismissed me with high words some said with a blow; ami half a dozen couriers were on the road to 1'arls with the news. in my place some might have given up all for lost; tut in addition to a sense of rectitude, and the conscious ness of desert, I had til support me an Ultimate knowledge of ithe king's tem per; Which, thuugh 1 had ueve suffered from It to this extent before, I knew to be on occasion as hot as his anger was abort lived, and his disposition gener ous. I had hopes, therefore although I saw dull faces enough 'among my suite, and some jule ones thut the klug'B repentance would overtake his anger, and its consequences outstrip any that might How from his wraith. Hut although I was not altogether at fault in this. I failed to take Into ac count one thing I mean Henry's anx iety on the queen's account, her con dition, and Oils desire to have an heir; which so wlfeetL-d the Issue, that In stead of fulfilling my expectations the event left me more despondent than be fore. The king wrote Indee'd, and' within the hour, und his " letter was In form, an apology. But it wa so lacking In gia.kuness, ,,o stiff, though It began "My g'ood friend Hosny," and so Insincere, Uhough It referred to my jast flervlcea, that When I had mid it I stood awhiile gaz ing at It, afraid to turn lest De Vlcand Varenncs, who had broUghit It, should mul my . disappointment In. my Jacei' ; For I could nit hide from myself that the gist of the letiter lay, not In the ex pressions of regret which opened It', but In'1 the complalnlt Which closed lt; wherein the king sullenly excused his outbreak on the ground of the magni tude of the interests which my careless ness had endangered, and the opening to harass the queen which I had heedlessly given. "This cipher," he said, "has long been a whim with my wife, from whom, for good reasons well known to you and connected with the grand duke's court, I have thought fit to withhold It. Now nothing will persuade her that I have not granted to another what I refused her. I trouble, my friend, lest you be found to have done more ill to France in a moment of carelessness than all your services 'have done good." It was not difficult to find a threat Underlying these words, nor to discern tlua't if the queen's fancy remained un shaken, and 111 came of it, the king would hardly forglvo me. ltecognizlng this, and that 1 was face to face with a crisis from which 1 could not escape, but by the use of my utmost powers, 1 assumed la serious and thoughtful air; ahd without affecting to disguise the fact that the king was displeased with me, dismissed the envoys with a few civil speeches, In which I did not fail to speak of his majesty in terms that even malevolence could not twist to my disadvantage.
