Anne, WlOSe cO0SCleQCe WdS very elastic, regarded this promise solely as pertaining to letters. Through Mile. de Hautfort she had contrIVed to in- form the duchess that if their machi- nations against the cardinal were go- ing well she would receive prayer book bound in green. If there WAS danger it would be bound in red and she must look out for herself Through some misunderstanding Mime. de Che vreuse one day received prayer book bound in red. She decided upon flight
 An official whom she had enthralled provided her with directions for pro ceeding to Spain, and thither she d. rected her course. Ordering her car riage, she gave out that she intended to visit friends In the neighborhood She set out near evening and as soon as 1t was dark ordered her coachman to stop and stepped out disguised as a man in a long cloak and riding boots A horse was waiting for her, and mounting, followed by two servants also mounted. she rode southward.
 In her excitement she had left in the carriage the officials directions as to the route and was obliged to proceed without them. Riding all night, she arrived at q town near which noble man, La Rochefoucauld, was at the time stopping. He had carried mes sages between her and the queen, and she knew she could trust him; but not willing to compromise him, she wrote him as a stranger who had kill. ed a man in a duel and was flying from the authorities, begging him to send q carriage and valet
 La Rochefoucauld sent the carriage and the valet, and the duchess set out for another of his houses occupied by a gentleman In his service named Nal basty, where she arrived before day light the next morning. Mime. Nal basty recognized the valet as servant of La Rochefoucauld, and the man told her that the gentleman be was conducting was an intimate friend Of his master and related the story about the duel. NJ. Malbasty asked the duchess how he could serve her. She replied that she would tell him tomor. row and asked him to go with her, since the two men she had brought from town might be recognized, and she wished to leave them behind until eonI for fboTn
 Malbasty consented, the carriage was sent back, and, mounting a horse which was provided for her, the duchess pro. ceeded on the journey, accompanied by her host and the valet. She had band aged her head to conceal a wound that she said she had received in the duel.
 The hairbreadth escapes from recog- milton that were made by the fair fugi- tive were many. She was constantly meeting persons who knew her and was obliged to resort to various devices to avoid acknowledging her identity. One man she met said that if she were dressed as a woman he would certainly mistake her for the Duchess de Che vreuse. She replied that she was rela- tive of the duchess.
 Despite the fact that as soon as her flight was discovered the cardinal sent after her in great haste, she reached Spain, where she was safe.
 Philip ". brother of Anne of Aus tria, was then king of Spain, and as soon as he learned that his sisters ad- herent was within his dominions he or dered that she be received with great distinction and sent several royal car riages, each drawn by six horses and occupied by his representatives, to fetch her to the capital. On her ar rival the people turned out en masse to see the distinguished stranger who had come to them after so many romantic adventures. The king. like all other men, was captivated with her, and the queen showed her every attention
 From Spain the duchess went to Eng land, whose queen. Henriette Maria. was a sister of the king of France and q bitter enemy of the cardinal who dominated her brother. There she re- teiYed no less a welcome than in Spain,
