was useless. Nothing showed that San
dorf had again set foot on shore. 1t re-
manned undoubted. then, that if he had
not been shot he had been drowned
But though careful search was made no
body was ever found among the breakers
nor on the Sauds for more than a couple of
leagues along the coast. But as the wind
was off shore and. the current running TO
the southwest, there could be no doubt that
the corpse Of the fugitive had been swept
out to the open sea.
Count Sandorf, the Magyar nobleman,
had, then, found his grave in the waves of
the Adriatic.
After minute investigation this was the
verdict, very natural one, to which the
Austrian government came.
Stephen Bathory, captured as we have
seen, was taken under escort during the
night to the donion of Pisino. there for a
few hours to join LadSlas Zathmar.
The execution was fixed for the 30th of
June.
Doubtless at this supreme moment
Stephen would have a last interview with
his wife and child; Ladislas would see his
servant for the last time. for permission had
been given to admit them to the dOnjOn.
But Madame BathOry and her son. and
BOrik, who had been lei out Of prison, had
left Trieste. Not knowing where the pris-
OnerS had been taken, for their arrest had
been a secret one, they had searched for
them even in Hungary, even in Austria,
and after the sentence was announced they
could not reach them in time.
Bathory had not the last consolation of
seeing his wife and son. He could not tell
them the names of those who had betrayed
him.
Stephen Bathory and Ladislas Zathmar,
AT 3 o'clock in the evening, were shot in the
courtyard of the fortress. They died like
men who had given their lives for their
country.
ToronthOl and Sarcany could now believe
that they were beyond all chance of repriSal.
In fact, the secret of their treachery was
only known to themselves and to the gov
ernOr OF Trieste. Their reward was half
the possessions of Count Sandorf, the other
half, by special favor, being reserved for
his heiresS when she attained her 18th year.
Toronthal and Sarcany, insenSible to all
remoTSe, could enjoy III peace the wealth
obtained by their abominable treachery.
Another traitor seemed TO have nothing
to fear. This was the Spaniard Carpena
to whom had been paid the reward of 100
forms.
But if the banker and his accomplice
! could remain and hold their heads up at
Trieste, Carpena under the weight of pub
| lie reprobation had to leave Rovigno TO live
10 one knew where. What did it matter?
He had nothing to fear; not even the Ven
geance of Ferrato.
For the fisherman had been arrested,
found guilty and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life for having sheltered the fugi-
tives. Maria and her young brother Luigi
were now left alone to live in misery in the
house from which the father had been taken
never to return.
And so three scOundrels for mere greed
without even a sentiment of hatred against
| their victims-Carpena excepted. perhaps
| one TO restore his embarrassed affairs, the
| others to gain money, had carried through
| this odiOuS scheme.
Was such infamy TO remain unpublished
in this world? Count Sandorf, Count Zatll-
mar, Stephen BathoTy. these three patriots,
and Andrea FerTatO the honest fisherman,
were they not 10 be avenged?
The future will show.
