Of silas roronthal, and Sara's image oe-

fathers wrongs.
such was the DOCTORS very simple plan
OF campaign. Two or three DAYS more
and the work would be accomplished {;
Pierre would be separated for ever from
Sara TOronthal.
Next day, the 9th NJ June, there arrived
letter from Point Pescade. II reported
that there was nothing new at the house
/ in the StradOue, and that Point Pescade
had seen nothing OF Pierre since the day
he had gone TO Grayosa twelve hours af-
ter the 8 ho0ner sailed He had not left
/ Ragusa, and renamed at home with his
mother. Point Pescade supposed-and
/ he was not wrong in doing so-that the
| departure OF he SaVaTena had brought
about this change In his habits, for
as soon as he had found her gone he
1 had gone home looking the picture OF de-
/ spair.
The doctor decided to write next day
/ and invite Pierre Bathory TO JOIN him i'm
medlately at Cattaro.
But something very unexpected hap
! pened 10 change his plans and al
! low chance to intervene and lead TO the
: same end.
/ About eight O'Clock in the evening the
| doctor was on the wharf at Cattaro when
/ the mail steamer Saxonia was sig
nailed.
The Saxouia came from Brindisi, where
| she had put in 10 take on board a few
/ passengers. She was bound for trieste.
/ calling at CattarO, Ragusa, and cara, and
/ the other ports on the Austrian coast OF
! the Adriatic.
( The doctor was standing near the gang
/ way along which people came ashore,
when In the twilight his attention was
monopolized by one Of the travellers whose
luggage was being brought off to the
wharf.
The man was about 40, ofhaughty, even
impudent, bearing He gave his orders
/ loudly; and was evidently one of those
persons who even when polished show
that they have been badly BROUGHT up.
That fellow !-Here-at Cattaro"
The passenger was Sarcany. Fifteen
years mad elapsed since he had acted as
accountant In Zathmar'e house. With
the exception OF his clothes he was still
the adventurer we saw in the streets OF
Trieste at the beginning OF this story. He
wore an elegant travelling suit with
dust coat of the latest fashion, and his
trunks with their many mOuntings
showed that the old Tripolitan broker
was accustOmsd to make himself COM
Portable.
For fifteen years Sarcany had lived
life of pleasure and luxury, thanks to the
fortune he had acquired from his share Of
Count Sandorfs wealth. How much was
there let of It? His best friends, if he
had any, would have been puzzled to say.
He had look of preOccupatiOn, Of anXi-
ETY. even, the cause Of which was difficult
TO discover behind the mask with which
he concealed his true disposition.

he gOingf" asked the doctor who did not
lose sight Of him.
Where he had come from was easily as
certained by asking the purser of the Sax
onla. The passenger had come on board
at Brindisi. Did he come from upper or
lower Italy? They did not know. In re-
atty he cane from Syracuse. On receipt
Of the telegram from the Moor he had in
stantly left Sicily tor Cattaro.
For it was at Cattaro that the woman
was waiting to meet him, her mission at
Ragusa having apparently come to an
end.
The Moor was there, on the wharf,
waiting for the steamer. The doctor no.

her, he heard the words she had
said to him in Arabic, and he understood
them:

Sarcany's reply was a nod. Then after
seeing his luggage passed by the custom
house officer, ne went of with the Moor
towards the right so as to go outside the
town.
The doctor hesitated for a moment. Was
Sarcany going to escape him? Ought he
to follow him?
Turning round he saw Cape Matifou
who was standing gaping at the Saxo.
MAS passengers. He beckoned to him,
and be was at his side in an instant.
"Cape Matifou," said he, pointing to
Sarcany, who was walking away, do you
see that manp

do sog'

"AEd you will give him something "a
prevent his getting away if he resiste"
''Yes.n
"Remember want him alivew
"Yes."
Cape Matifou was q man OF few words
but he had the merit of speaking to the
point. the doctor could depend upon
him. What he received the order to do
he would do.
The Moor could be seized, gagged
/ thrown aside IN any corner, aud before
she could give the alarm Sarcany would
/ be on board the Electric.
1 Inc darkness, thOugn 1t was not Very
profound, would facilitate matters.
/ Sarcany and the Moor continued their
walk round the town without noticing
! that they were being watched and follow
ed. They did not yet speak TO each other
4 They did not wish to do so until they
reached some quiet place where they
I could be safe from interruption. They
reached the south gate opening on this
! road which leads from Cattaro 10 the
mountains on the Austrian frontier.
/ Al this gate is an important market,
