Austrians and sentenced to be shot. He
made his escape, however, and found safety
for some months in a convent. Leaving the
convent, he went to Trieste, Italy, then to
Algeria. Here he lost all his money at a
gambling table, and was compelled to enter
the French foreign league, in which he fought
the Cabyles for two years, but was finally
taken prisoner and sold into slavery. Here
ne found his star of destiny in beautiful girl,
servant of the daughter of the chief, who con-
ceived strong passion for the handsome
