PARIS, March A.-[CopYrighted.1 j
Word comes from Buda-Pesth of the de-
nouement of tragedy that had its begin
ming in this city, in which q noble Marquis,
designing maid and s vindictive lover
were the chief actors. Scarcely twelfth
month ago the Marquis Autole Lebrun de
Lesseval might have been truthfully set
down as one of the happiest denizenS Of
this gay capital. Possessed of large fort
une, beautiful, loyal and affectionate wife,
10 whom he had only been married few
years, and several promising children, there
seemed nothing wanting to complete his
measure of happiness.
Nine La Marquis is Hungarian by birth
and had brought with her to Paris maid
Of rare personal charms, but whose moral
standard was not high. Natalie Kallay was
not only comely, but she was well aware of
the fact, and proposed to make her sttrac-
tions as remunerative as possible. She had
therefore not been long q member of the
Lesseval household before she began to lay
plans that, according to her theory, would
ultimately raise Natalie to far higher So
cial plane than that she then occupied.
Plot Against the Marquis.
Her plan was to inveigle the young Mar
ouis and obtain control over him, making
him her humble slave. Unfortunately An
tole was not g lady's man, and beyond q
certain Difference that he never failed to
display to women, he never INDUCED in gal
lantry. This was, however. only an obsta-
Gle that melted Natalie to greater endeavor.
If not successful in attracting the attention
OF her master, the fair young Hungarian
was so with her masters young friends, who
frequented the house.
But this was only the means to the end,
and did not satisfy her ambition. It was
the higher game at which she few her hawk,
and nothing of an inferior grade would an
Ewer. Although supposed to be constantly
attending to her duties at home, Natalie
managed to spend much of her time at night
away from the Lesseval mansion. 1t was in
this way that the maid of Nine. La Mar
quise was regular frequenter of such re-
sorts as the balls of the Elysee Montmartre
and the Moulin, in the north OF Paris, at
tended of course by her favored cavaliers.
Natalie Lays q Trap.
This was the point in her game that Nata-
lie had planned to reach. She now wrote in
a disguised hand series of anonymous
notes to the Marquis, asserting that his
wife's maid was scarcely a proper person to
keep in his employ, and declaring that she
was often to be seen at the balls in question.
By number of artfully worded missives,
she actually arranged that the Marquis
should attend the festivitY at the Moulin
Rouge on certain night where he would
be able to surprise Natalie in the company
of one of his most intimate friends. On the
evening designated, the Marquis, thanks to
\ stalie's skill, was there, She had also in
weighed the friend in question to accompany
her, and the night was not far advanced
when the denouement came.
This, while apparently the moment of
Natalie's defeat and humiliation, was really
the hour Of triumph for which she had long
plotted. Frankly confessing her trans
gression, she appealed to her masters good
nature, and pleaded with such effect that be-
fore leaving the grounds he promised to for
give and forget. He little knew what the
promise involved.
Capturing the Marquis Heart
1t gave Natalie the lever that she needed,
as from that moment she began the siege of
her masters affections, the pity with which
he at first regarded her as an unsophisti-
Gated maiden who had succumbed to the
powerful temptations of the French capital,
quickly yielded to a warmer feeling. 1t
was not long before the Marquis was a will
ing captive, and whether at mis- hotel or in
Paris, or in his chateau on his extensive |
estates in Hungary, he bore the chains with |
which the Magyar maiden had loaded him. |
But clever as she was, Natalie was unable |
to keep her conquest an absolute secret 1t |
is true that Nine. La Marquise never sus-
pected her husband, and on the surface |
everything went on as before, but in Hungary |
human passions are stronger and less tracta- |
bic than in Paris, and Mile. Kallay soon
discovered that one Albin Czaky, a youth |
with whom she had firted before her journey
10 Paris, but who had conceived for her a
love whose intensity proved him capable of
Tar deeper feeling than any of which the
clever little PlOtter was capable, more than
inspected the truth.
Shot Down From Ambush.
With Albinr to conceive was to act and
be was no sooner convinced that Natalie had
been faithless, and that the MARQUIS was his
rival, than he began to plan re-
7enge. Nor had he long to wait. Last
