big Cape Matifouv
such was the affecting farewell OF these
two friends when their separation came;
and Cape Matifou was truly sad at heart
when he returned on board the Savarena.
The same daY his companion took up bis
quarters in Ragusa with orders not TO lose
sight Of Pierre BathOry, TO watch IOron-
that's house, and TO keep the doctor ln-
formed Of all that went on
During this tune Point Pescade should
have Uet in the Strad0ne with the my
steuOus stranger who was evidently on a
similar mission; and doubtless he would
have done 80 had not the Moor after send
tng of the telegram left Ragusa tOf some
place further south, where Sarcany could
join her. Pescade WAS thus not intertered
wi an bi nd
out his instructions with his habitual in
telligence.
Pierre BathOry never imagined that he
had been go closely watched, nor did he
know that for the eyes Of the Moor there
had now been substituted those OF Point
Pescade. After his conversation with the
doctor. after the avoWal he had made, he
had felt more confident. Why should be
now hide from his mother what had taken
place on board the Saysrena? Would she
not read il in his look and even in his
soul? Would she not see that change
had taken place in him, and that grief
and despair had given place to hope and
happiness?
Pierre, then, told his mother everything.
he told her who the girl was that he loved,
and how II was for her that he had refused
10 leave Ragusa. His situation was Of
little consequence! Had not DR.. Ante
kirtt told him to hope!
THAT is why you suffered so much, my
child.r answered Madame BathOry.
MAY heaven help you and bring you
all the happiness we have missed up to

Madame Bathory lived in great retire.
ment In her house in the Rue Marinella.
She did not go out Of It except to church
with her old servant, for she attended to
her religious duties with all the practical
and austere pity Of her race. She had
never heard tell Of the IOrOnthals. Never
had she looked at the large mansion she
passed on her way to the Church Of the
Bedeemer, which is situated just where
the Str8dOne begins she therefore did
not know the daughter of the old banker
Of Trieste.
And 50 Pierre had TO describe her and
tell what she had said to him when they
first met, and how be did not doubt that
his love was returned. And all these de-
tails he gave with an ardOr that his
mother was not Buprised to find III the
tender passionate soul of her son.
But when Pierre told her Of she position
of the porOnthals, when she found that
the young lady would be one Ofthe rich
est heiresses Of Ragusa, she could not
conceal her uneasiness. Would the ban
ker consent to bis only child becoming q

But Pierre did not think 1t necessary to
insist on the GOODNESS and even contempt
with which Toronthal had always re-
ceiYed him. He was content TO repeat
what the doctor had said to him-how he
had told him that he could, that he ought
even, have confidence in his fathers
friend VINO felt for him a quasi-paternal
affection; fact which Madame Batho DRY
did not doubt knowing what he had al

in the end, ike her son and like BOrik,
who thought it his duty TO give his
advice, she did not abandon all hope; and
there was a trihing CLEAN of happiness
in the humble home IN the Rue Mari
nella.
On the following Sunday Pierre had
again the happiness of seeing Sara Toron-
thai at church. The girls face, always
rather sad IN It's expression, lighted up
when she caught sight OF Pierre, as If it
had been TRANSPORTED. They spoke to
each other with their looks, and they un-
aerstOOd each other. And when Sara re-
turned home, she bore with her portion
Of that happiness she lad so clearly read
in the young mans cOuntenance.
But Pierre had not again seen the doc
tor. He waited tor an invitation 20 re-
visit the schooner. Some days elapsed,
but no letter came.
Doubtless" he thought, ''the doctor is
making inquiries. He has come or sent
20 Ragusa To ascertain something about
the rOronthals. Perhaps ne has been get

not impossible that he has already seen

The word did not arrive, and Madame
