A'A De Lussac as he took his de-

courtyard, and as the gate closed be-

Placide had placed the Sevres howl and
the flowers.
Utterly unconscious that the hand
OF De Sartines was about to fall on
the man she loved, she occupied her
self, as she arranged the flowers in
the bowl. with the completion OF her
plan against De Sartines.
The insult that the minister of po-
lice had just placed on her by making
search at her house. and tampering
with her private papers, had brought
to a head her feeling of bitterness
against the whole court of France +;
against the men false and polished. and
those women, faithlesS, futile, and fe-
rocious in their enmities, whom it had
been her lot to meet.
She would have felt more bitter still
had she known how. during the last
few days, rumor had busted itself with
her and her affairs. 1t was already
known, in some miraculous way. that
De Sartines considered her attained.
