But II the doctor was heuceforth mas
ter Of Carpena, If he could make him do
what he liked in suggesting TO him his
own will, it was still necessary that the
prisoner should be free to move when the
time came for him to accomplish what
ever might be his work. And this per-
mission the doctor hoped to obtain from
Col. Guayarre in such form as to render
1t possible for the Spaniard to escape.
Ten minutes later the carriage arrived
at the entrance TO the large barracks just
inside the Spanish boundary, and drew up
before the Governors house.
Col. Guyarre had already been informed
that Dr.. AntekirTt was in Ceuta. Thanks
to the reputation he had gained by his
talents and fortune, this famous individ-
ual was sort of monarch on his travels,
and as soon as he entered the reception
room the Colonel gave a hearty welcome

at thei entire disposal the ''lttle piece Of
Spain so fortunately cut off from the
Moorish territory"

like him, Pierre understood and spoke

shall be able to take advantage of your
kindness"
''Oh! The colony is not large one, DR..

the doctor. 81 must leave tonight for

Governor. 6Allow me to insist! assure
you, DR.. Antekirtt, that our military coll

have doubtless seen much and observed
much during your travels. but perhaps
have not paid much attention to the ques-
ton of prison discipline, and assure you
that Ceuta is worth study, not only on the
part of scientific men, but Of econom-
lists"
Naturally the Governor was not with
| out some conceit in singing the praises OF
his colony, but he did not exaggerate in
the least and the administrative system
/ of Ceuta is considered one OF the best in
the world, both as affecting the material
/ well being of the convicts and
their moral amelioration. The
Governor insisted that a man in
DR.. Antekirtts position should delay his
departure so as TO honor by visit the diff
ferent departments of the penitentiary.

anxious to do you the hOnors of my
yacht"
"Cannot you postpone for to-day your
departure TO Gibraltar
Il would do so if an appointment had
not been arranged for me for to-mOr-

The decision to leave Ceuta that evening
astOnlshed MIN not little. How in so
short time could he take the indispensa.

capel In few hours the conVicts would
be sent back to jail aud shut up for the

away was very doubtful undertaking
indeed.
But Pierre saw that the doctor was act

cannot accept your nvitation-to-day, at

in some way?'
"Say on, doctor, say on"
