This liltl episcopal jeat made them nil laugh.
After which Father d'Aigrigny resumed seriously,
addressing the cardinal: "Unfortunately, as I
was about to observe to your Eminence with re
gard to the Abbe (Uhriel, unless they are very
narrowly watched, the lowor clergy have a tend
ency to luuinme in fueled with dissonting viows,
and with i ens of rebelion against what they call
the despotism of tli biNhops."
"Tills young man must be a Catholio Luther 1"
said the bishop. And walking on tip-toe,he went
to pour hiniM-lf out a glorious glass of Maderia,
in which he soaked some sweet cuke, matlo in the
form of a emxior. ,
,-d by hi example, the cardinal, under pre-tc-ce
of warminir his fet by drawing still closer
to the lire, helped hi,msolf to an excollent glass of
old Malaga, which he swallowed by inouthruU,
with no air of profound meilitatinn; after which
lie resumed: "Ho this Abbe (labriol starts as a
reformer. II mutt bo an ambitious man, Is ho
danirernm?" , .
'By our ft lvice his superiors have judged him
to he ho. They have ordered him to come hither.
He will soon be here, and I will tell your Emi
nence why I have sent him. But first, I have a
note on tho dangerous tendencies of the Abbo
Gabriel. Certain question! wore addressed to
him, with regard to some of his acts, and it was
in consequence of his answers that his superiors
recalled him."
lit saying, Father d'Aigrigny took from his
pocket-book a piece of paper which he road to
thoxo in tho room. (The closing sentence of his
answer to one of tho queHtions was J:
"I cloned his eyes with respect, I buried him. I
prayed for him; and, though he died in the Trot-
ttstant faith, I thought him worthy of a place In
const crated ground."
"Worso and worse I" said tho cardinal. "This
tolerance Is monstrous. It ii a horrible attack on
that maxim of Catholicism: 'Out of the pale o
tho church there Is no salvation.' "
'And all this is the more serious, my lord," re
sumed Father d'Aigrigny, J'bocauio the mildness
charity, and Christian devotion of Abbe (labrie
have excited, not only in his parish, but In al
the surrounding districts, tho greatest enthusl
asm. The priests of the neighboring parishes
1 '
have yielded to the general impulse, and it must
be confessed that hut for his moderation a wide
spread schism would have commenced."
"But what do you hope will result from bring
ing him hero? " said the prelate.
"The position 6fAbbo (Jabrlel is complicated
first of all, he is the heir of tho Henuopont family."

cardinal.
"Yes, my 1 trd; and this cession, which was at
first informal, has lately with Ms free consent,
been made perfectly regular in law: for h hai
sworn, happen what might, to renounce his part
of tho Inheritance in favor of the Boclety of Jesus.
Nevertheless, his Reverence Father Hod in thinks,
that If your Eminence, after explaining to Abbe
(btbriel that he was about to bo recalled by his
superiors, were to propose to him some eminent

Ini-nco having observed, vry Judiciously, that
every reformer mut bu ambitious.
"I approve of this idea," said tho cardinal, uf.
tor a moment's reflection; "with his merit on
power of acting on other men, Abbe (Jabriel may
rino very high, if be is doolie; and ir no should
not be ho, it it bettor for the safety of the church

inal, aUer another moment's pause, "Do you not
uppoR him capable of having other views than
those of the graler glory of his order? Come, I
have reasons for speaking thus," added the prel
ate, with emphasis.
"Why," resumed Father d'Aigrigny, not with
out suspicion, for the game Is pLyed cautiowdy
between People of the same craft, "what should
your Eminence think of him, either from , your
own observation, or from the report of the rath
er-Oene'al?"
"I think that if his apparent devotion to his
Order really concealed some aftcr-thought it
would be well to discover it for, with the intlu-
ence that be has obtained at Borne (as I have
found out), hi might one day, and that shortly,
ecome very formidable."
'Weill" cried Father d'Aigneny, impelled by
lis jealousy of Bodin; "I am, in this respect, of
io same opinion as your Eminence; for I nave

sometimes porcoivod in him flashos of ambition
that were as alarming as they wero extraordinary

"Father d'Aigrigny was unable to continue; at
this moment Mrs. Orivois, who had boon knock-
ng at the door, half-opened it, and made a sign
to her mistress. Tho princess answered by bow
ing her head, and Mrs. Orivois nguin withdrew.

"I do not know what is the matter," said Bo-

I am seized with a sort of giddiness."
"Sit down," said the princess, with interest.
"Tako something," said the bishop.
"It will be nothing," said Bodin, with an effort;
T am no milkaon. thank heaven! I had little
sleep iHst night; it is fatigue nothing more. I
was saying, that I alone could direct this affair;
but I cannot execute the plan myself. I must
keep out of the way, and watch in the shade; I

Bo .Hit again paused. This time he uttered a
piercing cry, sank upon a chair placed near him,
and, throwing himself back convulsively, he
pressed bis hands to his chest, and exclaimed:
"Oh! what pain 1"
Then (dreadful sight I) a cadaverous decompo
lion, rapid as thought, took place in Kodin's
features. His hollow eyes were filled with blood,
and seemed to shrink back iuto their orbits,
which formed, as it were, two dark holes, in the
centre of which bhued points of fire; nervous
convulsions drew tho flabby, damp and icy ikin
tight over tho bony prominences or the race,
which was becoming rapidly green. From the
(lips, writhing with pain, issued tho struggling

midst of his partisans, but he know ho could rule
them all by tho power of his Intellect.
"We were speaking of your reverence, my dear,
good father," said the cardinal, with charming
affability,
"Ah I" said Bodin, looking fixodly at the prol
ate: "and what wero you saying?"
"Whv." replied the Belgian bishop, wiping his
s ' -
forehead, "all the good that can he said of your
rvriice.
"Will vou not take something, my good father?"
laid the princess to Bodin, as she pointed to the
splendid sideboard.

"Thank you, madam, I have eaten my rodisn
already this morning."
"Mv secrolary, Abbe Berlin!, who was present
at vour repast, was, indeed, much astonished at
your reverence'! frugality," said the prelate; "it
Is worthy of an anchorite."
"Bunpose we talk of business " said Hodin, ab-
ruptly, like a man accustomed to lead and con
trol the discussion.
"We ihall alwayi be most happy to hear you,"
said the prelate, "Your reverence yourself fixed
today to talk over this great Bennepont affair. It
is of such importance, that it was partly the
causo of my Journey to Frunce; for to support tho
Interests of the glorious Company of Jesus, with
which I have tho honor of being associated, is to
support the interests of Komu itself, and I prom-
Ued the reverend Father-General that I would
place myself entirely at your orders."

"1 can only repeat what his Eminence has just
said," added the bishop. "We set out from Borne
together, and our hlons ore just the eamo."
"Certainly." said Bodin, addressing the card
inal, '"your Eminence may serve our cause, and
that materially- I will tell you how presently."
Then, addressing tho princess, ho continued
"I have desired Dr. BaUinier to como hero
madam, for it will bo well to inform him of cor
tain things."
"lie will bo admitted as usual," said the prlnc
0H."
Bodin gulped down a glass of claret and sher
ry, wiped his mouth on tho back of his dirty
hand, then launched Into a lengthy description
of the difference in methods employed by l'aiher
d'Aigrigny and himself in the Kenncpont cose.
I asHure you that you are very unwell. Your
paleness is becoming livid.
Jt is possible," answered Bodin, courageously;
"but I am not to bo bo so n conquered. To re
turn to our affair this is the time in which your
qualities, Father d'Aigrigny, will turn to good
account. 1 have never denied them, and they
may now bo of the greatest use. You have tho
power of charming gruco cloquenco J ou

Hodin pausod again. A cold sweat pou-ed
from his forehead. lie felt his los give way
under him, notwithstanding his obstinate energy.
'I confess, 1 am not well," ho said; "yet this
morning, I was as well as over. I shivor. I am
icy cold."
"Draw near the flro it is a sudden indisposi

which be was writhing. Tho bishop, the cardin
al, and Father d'Aigrigny, hustily approached
Bodin, to try and hold him; he was seized with
horrible convulsions; but, suddenly, collecting all
his strength, ho rono upon his feet stiff as a corpse.
Then, with his garments in disorder, his thin,
grey hair standing up all around his greenish
face, fixing his red and naming eyes upon the
cardinal, he seised him with convulsive grasp,
and exclaimed in a terrible volco, half stillod in
his throat: "Cardinal Malipieri this Illness ii
