'REGARDLESS OF ALL THINGS"
A few minutes later the Comte de
Lussac left the house Of the baroness;
he turned to the right In the direction
Of the Rue Saint Honore. He " not.

and forked stick who was walking on
the opposite side Of h way Now the
Comte de Sartines, though he had
promised Lavenne to give him a free
hand and to leave the watching of Mon
sieur de Lussac entirely to him, was
afflicted with that disease. which spoils
30 many lives and plans-mistrust.
He had promised LaVenne to trouble

though no word at all had come from

piece Of paper reached the Hotel de
Sartine about.noon. 1t ran:

| the woman he adored, turned from the
Rue Coz Heron into the Rue Peysette.
Yesterday, even this morning, this
mans main objective a been the de-
struction OF the existing state OF
things; up to his eyes in a most dan
gerous conspiracy, filled with the blind
fury of the eagle, his only idea was

to break free from the militant reVoEu
