She was an orphan, a meek, demure, | Stlent child. who had been brought up {n a convent and who was [supposed to be unusually stupid and harmless. As a matter of fact she j Was about as harmless and meek as a rattlesnake. It would’ have been jSaner and cheaper for France to have lost 100.000 men outright than to have admitted her to its royal family, The girl was Catherine de Medict, daughter ofa race of Florentine men . chant princes. Her family was not exalted, her position was not high) The jonly reason Francis allowed her to marry Henry was that he needed her — {rich dawry, end that the marriage would strengthen France’s alliance - with her unele, te Pope. He had no {dea she would live to become Queen, — Catherine came to Parts, where ber arrival made absolutely no’ differ jence tn local politics. The gay Ilfe of the court went on. without regard to the lonely little Itallan. Her husband neglected. her. down on her as of low birth. No one considered’ her. With lowered eyes, and sedate demeanor she went through each day's routine. All the time she: was storing up ideas and Dlans for future use, dnd by her very lack of. aggressiveness avoided making enemies dr hbazarding ‘her own position Shé even won a certain quiet influence over her husband and the King.

His second brother, a boy_of ten, became King under the title of iCharles IX. Catherine, who was only forty and tn her prime, was appointed! ; regent during the lad’s minority. Her chance had at last come. She plunged into wild extravagance and display, filled the court with her Italian followers, ruled the kingdom in high-handed fashfon, and em- barked on an era of Statesmanship whose chief characteristics were Hes, intrigues and assassinations. Hitherto, in France, a sword -or.dagger had — been regarded as suffictent menaces for one's enemies. Catherine intro-: duced from Italy the subtler custom of poisoning.

As a result she stirred up the latent | strife between the two parties to the bofling point, and started a civil war j between them that ravaged France for thirty years. Charles IX, on grow- |ing up, showed signs of favoring Coligny’s cause. The Huguenots wera daily growing stronger. Catherine, fearing lest they should seize the bak! |ance of power, allied herself with the Duke of Guise, and so played on the. | fears of the weak King, who was wholly under her dangerous influence, that {he consented to her plan to lure all the Huguenot leaders to Paris to the marriage of their young leader, Henry 6f Navarre, to Charles's sister, Mas saret, and then to inaugurate a wholesale assassination, { Charles was thrown Into an agony of terror by his mother’s hints that; | the Huguenots were conspiring to kill him.

Shortay, © before the King’s death Catherine herself died, in 1589, having lived long enough to see her best schemes-fall, to know that although she had been the wife of one King and the mother of three, the royal line would exp.re with her third son, and to realize that she had wrought more evil mad E useless strife {n-Franee than anyother woman Who ever lived.
