LL the French nobility had flocked to Paris in August, 1572, to wit- ness the marriage of young King Henry of Navarre to Marguerits t of Valois, younger slater to King Charles IX. of France. But, dur- {ug the ‘ceremony, a strange and most unforeseen hitch occurred. The bridegroom had gone through his reépomses readily enough. Then came the’ bride’s turn. But Marguerite. spoke no word in reply to the Arch- bishop's quéry as to whether she would take Henry for her husband. : The marriage had been forced upon her by her mother, Catherine,» Medici, and Marguerite knew the true and terrible reason for the diplo- matic move. So she was. resolved to have no part in it. She stood dumb and obstinate, to the scandailzed horror of the whole court. The prelate | repeated the question’ Btill “Marguerite made no reply. At the third’ repetition her brother, the King, furious at her stubbornness, sprang for- ward, seized her head in both’ his‘hands and thrust ft.downward in a bow ot asocit. Then the tiarriage cerethony went on. Henry at the time was in love with another woman and Marguerite loved another man. Fromso ness to the couple.

Catherine de Medici wished to’ crash. the ” a Duel of Wits. Huguenots. This eect, had two leaders in é nan n———————~ & France. One was Admiral Coligny, whose as: : wassination Catherine had already planned. The other was Henry, the ninoteen-yearold King of Navarre, a subsidiary prow {nce in Southern France. Henry, though only a lad, was the hope of the Huguenots. He had a wise and good mother, Jeanne d'Albret, who brought him up to @ rough, outdoor Ife, rigorous in its ‘rules and profoundly re- ligious in all its teachings. Catherine, early tn 1573, invited Henry to visit the dissolute court at Paris. Jeanne could not refuse to let him go, but begged him to be true to his religion and to all-the principles she had: so laboriously taught him. Henry came to court and Catherine speedily enguffedirhtm in a-whirla? gayety and vice that at once drove all Jeanne's maxims out of his head and made his former home iffe seem unbearably stupid. Yet, still fearing his mother’s influence over the boy, Catherine sent Jeanne a pair of palsoned gloves. The poor woman wore them and died: now had little _ and he could easily be removed. She planned a mammoth move to crush the growing power of the Huguenots, She arranged the marriage between | Henry and her daughter, Marguerite; and planned a wholesale massacre of all Huguenote who should come to Paris for the nuptials. Henry was _ probably booked by her for death, along with Coligny, during the slaughter. . All this Marguerite doubtless knew. Which accounts for-her reluctance :to | lend herself to the scheme, iva But, having’ been forced into the marriage, Marguerite-proceeded ‘to re- venge herself by doing all in her power to set at naught her mother’s‘best- { Jafd plans. On the night of the massacre‘she saved Henry from death, ant’ thus altered the whole future of France. In the days of horror and blood- shed that followed she rescued more than one hunted Huguenot and, by her - rare diplomatic skill, guided Henry safely through many a predicament at court that might well have killed or tmprisoned him; and, to Catherinejs ; furious amazement, shook off her mother’s domination and openly sided - with the Huguenot cause. It was largely through her thet Henry was lifted from hts gay, useless Parisian axistence © into a genuine struggle for power.
