agent of Marie Antoinette, said that her
majesty was anxious to obtain the dia

that she was only able at that time to
advance a portion of the money in pay

give his signature for the security Of the
remainder she would surely pay the nee

The flattered prince readily agreed,
and at the appointed time a messenger,
supposed to be in the service of the
queen, arrived with the document which
was offered to De Rohan in the name

Lamotte hurried away to the jeweler,

Nothing further was heard by De Ro-

discovering that the promised payment
was not forthcoming, rushed into court
to expose the prince, who in turn relat-
