Lavalette, i'll truth, had had but five
minutes start Not hearing his prisoner
stir at the end of five minutes, the turn

perceiving the Countess there, had raised
an alarm. But Nine de Lavalette sprang
upon him, and during Il couple ct minutes
there was a desperate struggle between

leaving the sleeve of his coat in the
Countess hands. An instant afterwards
the alarm was given, and so rapidly was
the pursuit organized that some gen
darmes overlook the sedan chair bearing
Josephine Lavalette before it had turned
off the quay But the most extraordinary
part of the escape has yet to be told. Dur

for with unparalleled ardor; a price was
put on his head, description OF him was

resided Nobody thought of looking for
