the old story was repeated and she

had become infatuated with the Able Con-
STAINS, the result of which was some
what tardy marriage, for which the bril-
liant priest was accommodated. He
afterward became involved in the assas-
sination of Cardinal Tibour, archbishop of

duel with her husband would indicate that
even then she was not satisfied. The close
of the story is furnished by the counts
friends who insinuate that his recent split
with Bonlanger was not on account of the
latter's incapacity but was caused by the
discovery short time after the recent
death of Madame Rouvier that she was the
hitherto unknown person who for long
