been deceived and at the appointed
time the Cheyalier Gaetan was cons

Englishman, and informed on the way
that the latter was not dead, bot had
sufficiently recovered TO appear and
accuse him OF an attempt to murder.

The wretched man instantly fell up
on his knees and confessed all, even
stating where he had concealed the
money, which he eohered TO restore and
add all his other iIl-gotten gains to it.

confessions revealed the plot We have
described. The adventures, who act
