FTteen years later, when Sandorf had

I Antekirtt. Thenceforth SandOrf cOuldd de-
vote himself entirely to his work. Now he
was alone al the world with task to per-

himself on the track Of those ne mad sworn
To- punish and reward. Already In his
thoughts Pierre Bathory had been ssso-
ciated in the work OF Justice. Agents
were stationed IN the different coast towns
OF the mediterranean. Well paid ana
sworn to secrecy, they cOFrespOnded only
with the doctor either by The swift
launches we know of, or the submarine
cable which Joined Antekirtta 10 Malta
aud Malta ~ Europe.
1t was in verifying the statement oil his
agents that the doctor had discovered the
traces Of all those who directly or indi-
rectly had been mixed up in Sandorrs
conspiracy. lie could then watch them
from atar, and let them have their run. as
it were, uninterfered with for four
or tYe years. Sias TorOnthal he

at Ragusa with his wife and

Andrea Ferrato be would have helped

fisherman from his letters few months
after be was sent there. His children
Maria and Luigi had left RovlgnO, aud

and he had not Jet been able to come upon
any trace Of them. or Madame Bathory
at Ragusa, with her son Pierre and Borik,
the old servant Of Ladislas Zathmar, the
doctor bad never lost sigtt, and we know
how he mad sent them a considerable sum
of money which was not accepted by the
proud, courageous woman.
But the hour had come Tor the doctor to
begin his difficult campaign. Assuring
himself that he would never be recognized
after his fifteen years absence, and his
supposed death, he arrived in Ragusa,
and found stephen BathOry's son in love
with Silas TorOnthaPs daughter. 1t will
be remembered how Sarcany had inter-
vened and thrust them apart, how Pierre
had been taken TO his mothers house,
bow DR.. Antekirtt had acted when no was
on the point or death, and how he had
called him back to life to reveal himself
TO him under his real name Of Matthias
SandOrf. Now his task was to cure him,
to tell him what he did not know, how
treachery had delivered over his father
and his companions, 20 acquaint lin
with the names OF the traitors, TO win
over mis- help in the work tue doctor had
set himself t0--of dealing out justice far
beyond that ordinary Justice OF which be
had been the victim.
In the first place, then, Pierre had TO be
restored 20 health, and 1t was 10 the re-
stOratiOn that be entirely devoted himself.

the island Pierre literally hung between
life and death. Not only was his wound
very serious, but his mental state was
even more more so. The thought OF Sara
being now Sarcany's wife, the thought OF
his mother grieving for him. the resurrec-
tinn OF Count Matthias SandOrfas DR.. An
tekirtt-Sandort the most devoted Of all
bis father's friends--all was enough TO
unsettle a mind already sOrely shaken.
Day ana night the doctor did not leave
him. he heard him IN mis- delirium repeat
The name Of Sara To Onthal. He learned
how deep and true was his love for nor,
and how her marriage was tOrturing aim
He asked If this love would not prove re-
slstless even whenhe learned that Sara was
the daughter OF the man who had sold and
Killed his father. The doctor would tell
him nevertheless He had made up his
mind 10 do 40. IL was his duty.
Again aud Ngaln Pierre almost sue
cumbed. Douby injured, in mind ana
body. he was so near to death that he did
not recognize SandOrf at his bedside. He
had not even strength 10 whisper Sara's
name.
But skilliul care prevailed and the rsac.
ton began.
Youth gained the mastery. The sick
man was cured In body before he was
cured in mind. His wound began TO heal,
bis lungs regained their normal powers,
and on the nth OF July the doctor knew
that Pierre was saved.
That day the young man recognized him.
