that he had not been with Dumouriez at all, and it was seen that there was no evidence whatever that he had any part in the plottings of the other branch of the Bourbon family. 1t was true that he had served in foreign armies against france and was then in the pay of Eng land, but he was not conspirator.
 Napoleon's rage, however, was now be- yond control. For three weeks he had neglected his military preparations for the Invasion of England and all affairs of state in his absorbing passion for revenge The fight had become Corsican vendetta between the Bonapartes and the Bour- bons. and no kinsman of the foe should be spared. Some of those around the first consul might stand aghast at the thought of shedding royal blood, but he declared: Neither is my blood ditch water! To the fearful appeals of the terrified Josephine, he commanded: Be gone! You are child!'
 In the MOat at Vincennes
 Late in March afternoon the captive duke was conducted into the big, gray fortress of Vincennes, four miles from the heart of Paris. Although he was yet to be placed on trial. his grave was already dug in the moat on the other side of the castle. commission of colonels met in the evening in tower overlooking the castle park and the royal prisoner was brought DeIOre them.
 After his examination he pleaded to be taken before Napoleon himself but in- stead he was remanded to his cell The commission then debated the case for two hours, when the verdict was signed condemning the duke to die for having borne arms against France and being in the pay of her enemy, England.
 At o'clock in the morning Napoleon stirred from his uneasy sleep, and said in solemn tones: By this time, the Duke q Enghien has ceased to live" Whereat Josephine fell to weeping But it was 6 o'clock when the duke. still ignorant of his doem, was led from his cell down the stair toward the open door of the cas- tie. As he felt the fresh morning air on his face, he mistook it for the clammy breath of dungeon and cried to his guard: You are not going to put me in dungeon," The only reply was the reading of the death sentence.
 Out of the door the royal victim was led, the door that looks upon what is now one of the prettiest and most popular of the forest playgrounds of Paris. and down into the moat against which Sa- vary leaned at careless ease.
 The Duke was placed with his back to the wall of the tower and facing the fir ing squad. His request that a priest hs summoned to sattend him was ignored but when he asked that he might be permitted to send a lock of his hair to his sweetheart the Duchess de Roha n, the commander of the squad gruffly iti- qulred of his men, Has any one of yol

Napoleon inaugurated the Legion Of Honor they ridiculed his decorations be- fore all Paris by attaching to the collar of their dog an insignia of the order.
 Pichegru found Moreau ready to con spire, but only for himself. Do with Bonaparte what you will, he said, put do not ask me to put a Bourbon in his place."
 Spies were following the conspiracy hour by hour, and very soon Moreau found himself locked up. But Napoleon wished above all to catch the Bourbon princes, and he posted Sayary at the cliff on the Normandy coast to lie in wait there for the princely prey. He was filled with a feroc1ous passion for revenge on the royalists. Am I dog to be beaten to death in the streets?" he demanded. 'I will pitilessly shoot the very first of these princes who shall fall into my hands,"
 But Moreau having disappointed them, the princes did not climb up the cable. where Savary sat watching like terrier beside rathole. Nor could the hiding places of Georges and Pichegru be found. Paris suddenly shut down on them like a trap. The gates of the city were closed, the walls were patroled and no one was permittsd 10 leave the capital.

But soon the fugi- tive was discovered while in another lodg ing and was thrown into prison, where ultimately he strangled himself to death in his cell.
 Next Georges was found and taken in the street. but not until he had shot dead one of his pursuers and seriously wounded another. He and 19 of his accomplices, including a marquis and the heir to a dukedom, were tried and condemned to die Moreau was sentenced to two years Imprisonment. but Napoleon pardoned him. on condition that he went to the United States and stayed there.
 Catching Prince
 Meanwhile Bourbon prince had been caught. In the midst of the excitement attending the man hunt in Paris re- port was received that the young Duke d d'Enghien, a descendant of the great Condo. was living in the duchy of Baden. a few miles from the French frontier. where he was conspiring with General Dumouries, another general of the revo- lution. who. like Pichegru, had been bought Up by the. Bourbons. It was fur ther reported that the prince had actually made secret visits to Paris
 A squad of 30 horsemen was sent into Baden. although it was not French soil. the duke was Kidnapped and hurried to Paris. While he was on the way, how ever, 1t became known to the government
