SYNOPSIS.

Coo lie Roi, the highwayman, otherwise
known as the Little Red Man, was famous
for his exploits at Paris, in the time of
Louis XIV. He is sleeping one night at a
tavern in the slums when a mysterious
stranger brings him word that the house
is surrounded by the officers of the lieu
tenant of police, NJ. de Sartines. The
stranger helps him to escape through
secret passage in a well. NJ. Sartines, the
evening after, his plans for the capture
of Coo lie Roi having failed, goes to dine at
the house of Mile Corinne de Moutesson,
Il brilliant and fascinating lady of the
court. He hopes to obtain sympathy and
assistance from her for she is familiar
with the goings on of all the thieves and
vagabonds in Paris. Mile. de Moutesson
istounds him by having an old doctor a
friend of hers, relate to the lieutenant sew
eral exploits which Cog lie Roi has per
formed since his escape. The lieutenant
doubts these statements, when Corinne de-
clares that he can ask the highwayman
himself, who Is now her guest in another
part of her palace.
