Fernand knew, and said nothing
The next day, after Fernand had len Nelly
| hastily threw cloak ovef her shoulders covered
her head with the hood, and instantly went out
after him.
After having abandoned his comrade, who, as
we have seen, had been thrown TO the ground,
| EI-Zouazo protected himself from all pursuit By
entering a small house Of horrid appearance near
| the merchants port. He had been there many
hours, when in the afternOOn Nelly knocked az
the door in a PecuiaE manner An old woman who
| was watching by al ir0n-barred hole opened the
door. Nelly passed quickly by the old woman,
who was dreadfuy ugly, and entered into room
below this level. El-Zorrazo was seated on
wooden bench, baudagng- light wound that he
had received in his side in his late nocturnal combat
