great Richelieu. Cling Mars Cistin.
guished himself at the siege of Arras
In 1910 and Immediately felt himself
fitted for high command. He had be-
come favorite of the king and a
notable of the day. Richeiieu either
believed that Cinq Mars was unified
to command or else found his rising
star peril to himself. So he opposed
the granting Of the young mans
wishes. Louis temporized, and CinQ
Mars talked rashly of overthFewing the
cardinal. Then he did something much
worse, negotiating with Spain to fur.
Their his conspiracy. Richelieu exposed
him and he was executed at the pfema,

His death plunged Marion into grief
But soon she reappeared In that half
world just below the court. Her salon
became one of the centers of Parisian
life. She had succession OF lovers.

Then came the death of the cardinal
