tested by them. The descendants of the
Houses OF Bourbon, OF Orleans, of Condo,
fitted dimly in the horizon. They had
their following. Their secret friends
sQuattod In the very shadow of the Tuil-
cries. As for open war, they had had
enough Of that. OF secret intrlgues and
plots and crimes there was now no end.
The desperation Of tho Royalists became
oil the more profound when the Consulate
was seen to give peace, and to Justify itself
In the estimation of mankind. In such
situation the life Of tho First Consul APP
pcared to the disappointed and despairing
progeny OF tho past MS hateful and all
prevailing fact that must be destroyed.
The conspiracy which exploded in tho
Rue St Nicaiso was only tho beginning OF
plots and plotting. 1t Is In evidence that
the agents Of tho British government lent
awilling hand TO tho secret crimes that
were TO compass the destruction of Bona
paste On his Side there was correspond
Ing Vigilance, 1t was equivalent TO death
for any to lift the hand against him. His
Immediate subordinates wero without ex-
oeptlon loyal. But all the disappointed,
lowering at distance, scowled at his rls-
ing star. Tho years 1904 We're pregnant
with conspiracles. In the midst Of tho
most untiring industry-consuming each
DAY and large part of the night In unpar-
alleled application TO the tasks of office
Napoleon WAS ever and anon distracted
and enrnged by the discovery Of some plot
against his life, His agents everywhere
Struck back, in Light or darkness; and tho
bloody ohalico was held to tho lips of every
Intending assassin.
Among tho plots of tho day that OF
eecrges Cadoudal, leader OF the Chouans
Oh brittany, was conspicuous. From being
an lnsurgcnt in the Royalist revolt Of 1893,
nc had He'd to England, where the count Of
Arois, afterwards Charles X, received
nm with open arms. In 1903 he mndo
MS way secretly to Paris. There he con-
tplfed with the dlsgaced General Piche-
ru Nnpoleon's old master In mathemat-
ms az 'Brienno, to destroy tho life of tho
St Consul The plot was discovered,
sohegru was seized, imprisoned, and on
We ON OF April, 1904, was stranglcd in
rs cell. Cauoudal, trying to escape, killed
Wo policemen, but was overmastercd con-
fmhod, and on tho 25th Of June, 1904,
.N guillotlned. General Moreau, tho
ten OF Hohculindon, who had become
noghlst was accused of completely In
neseschomes. Convicted Of having knowl-
~ke Oh tho plot OF Cadoudal, he was con-
~ss'hheu to two years imprisonment; but
.n1poeon committed the sentence into ex-
y anu Moreau chose tho United States rs
AZ refuge. After eight years, he entered
~ service OF Russia, and in 1913 was NOR
",y wounded at the battle OF Dresden.
