The Baroriesk had fainted. The po- iiceineh took her upiand transported her,, insensible aqd in, full costume, to a and drove off toward ibe Prefecture de Police, - . You can understand what was the emotion of the Parisian world when i t heard that one of the most brilliant la dies of society, intimate with the best persons in the land, a Baroness sur rounded with homages-and aduiatlons, one of the most beautiful, the most popular, and mgst feasted ladies of Pa ris, had stolen the diamonds of the Countess de Demidoff. T h e trial soon ' came on. An eager crowd folloAved every step o f the pro ceedings. They disclosed that, having taken the diadem during tfie ball, the Baroness had attached it to her garter, mnd began again to dance, to’ allay all suspicion, dissembling the trouble consequent to the fleed she had done, and the terror she felt at the idea that the weight of this diadem and the her will bequeathed all of Her estate to pious fouridatioris. And so it is thht sbe has expiated by forty years o f vir tue and of good deeds the erhue which be'r indulgeht husband called a day of weakness.
