campaign, and as he knew that Sava's
marriage had been postponed 10y tho
death of Madame Toronthal, no had
decided to do nothing until the wedding
had taken place.
One of his agents Mt Ragusa kept him
informed of all that took place, and
watched Madame Bathory's house with
rs much care as he did Toronthals.
Such was the state of affairs, and tho
Doctor waited with Impotence for tho
delay rs to the wedding to come to an
end. If he did not know what had
become of Carpena, whose track he had
lost after his departure from Rovigno,
Toronthal and Sarcany at Ragusa, could
not escape him. Suddenly, on the Goth
of August, there arrived n telegram
informing him of the disappearance of
Silas Toronthal, Sava, and Sarcany, and
also of Madame Bathory and Boril, who
had just left Ragusa without giving any
clue to their destination.
The Doctor could delay no longer.
He told Pierre what had happened and
hid nothing from ham. Another terri
bic blow for him ! His mother dsap-
peared, Sava dragged off, they knew not
where, by Silas Toronthal, and, there
was no reason to doubt, still in Sarcanys
hands.
1--WE shall start tomorrow, said the
Doctor.
To-day /" exclaimed Pierre "but
where shall we look for my mother?
Where shall we look for
He did not finish the sentence. Tho
Doctor interrupted him

dence Perhaps Toronthal and Sarcany
have something to do with Madame
Bathorys disappearance! We shall see!
But we must be after the two scoundrels
first -
where shall we find them?"
In Sicily-perhaps!"
1t will be remembered that in the con-
versation between Sarcany and Zirone,
that the Doctor overheard in the donion
of Pisino, Zirone had spoken of Sicily
rs the usual scene OF his exploits, and
proposed that his companion should
join him there if circ umstances required
1t. The Doctor had not forgotten this,
nor had he forgotten the name of Zirone
Ii was a feeble clue perhaps but in
default of any other it might set them
again on the trail Of Sarcany and Toron-
thai.
The start was Immediately decided on
Point Pescade and Cape Nation were
informed that they would be wanted to

same time was told who Toronthal, Sar-

Memory of Faces.

We must say to begin with that a
large proportion of mankind, as any
great portrait painter will testify, never
see faces actually at all. Some are
short-sighteG and see no definite edges
to anything, and consequently, though
unconsciously, rely for Identification
on evidence which is not that of Sght
and is frequently all wrong. They see
the type. but not the true face. and. as
n considerable portion of mankind pos
scss type faces, distinguished from
others of a like kind by differences as
minute rs those of leaves. the short
sighted are constantly liable to error
50 are the inattentivc. They fail some
times. after many interviews. TO catch
the expression of the face: cannot state,
except in the Vaguest way, the color of
eyes or hair. and will misdcscrbe fea-
lures -perhaps prominent features
as if they were paid to do it. They
have never attended TO the face at all.
but have been content with Il general
expressions; they have never observed
with any true observation. and are as
little TO be trusted in their accounts as
when describing women's dress. They
will even confuse dark persons with
light. and declare that Il long face
struck them rs n short one. or hesitate.
as a witness did in Il bigamy case, about
the presence or absence of mustachc.
Indeed. it is probable that large sec
ton of mankind cannot observe, for of
all who land for the first time i'm India
or China, at least half declare that all
Indians or Chinese are precisely alike.
Yet, though Cinnamon have certain
broad points of resemblance in color
shape of brows and absence of hair. they
are in details as different as Europeans;
while Indians, owing to their wide diff
ference in color. the use or disuse of
hair on lip or chin. and the existence
among them of features due TO varie-
ties of original race, are more different
than white men. lnattention is, how
ever, the main cause of error, and is
sometimes carried TO extraordinary
lengths. We have known brothers un-
able to state the color of each others
eyes, and fellow collcgians who could
not remember whether acquaintance
wore the mustache or not.-Lcmdon

That meeting-we never shall part -
From a land where the flowers are deathlcss,

Where the VOWS are unspokcn and breathless,
When the days are a dream of delight.
Shall seek her in climcs where the glory

Where is whispered the hcart-uttcred story,

CHAPTER VI.
OFF MALTA.

They started that evening. The Fer
ratio, always ready for sea, with provisions
on board bunkers coaled, and compasses
regulated, was ordered to sail at eight
o'clock.
1t is nine hundred and fifty miles
from the Syrtis Major to the south of
Sicily, near Porto eli Palo. The swift
steam yacht whose mean speed exceeded
eighteen knots, would take about Il day
and Il half to accomplish the distance.
She was n wonderful vessel she had
been built at one of the best yards on
the Loire. Her engines could develope
nearly fifteen hundred horsepower
effective. Her boilers were of the Belle
vile system-in which the tubes con-
tain the flame and not the water-and
possessed the advantage of consuming
little coal producing rapid vaporization,
and easily raising the tension of the
steam to nearly thirty pounds without
danger of explosion. The steam, used
over again by the re-heaters became n
mechanical agent of prodigious power,
and enabled the yacht, although she was
not as long as the despatch boats Of the
European squadrons, to more than equal
them in speed.
1t need scarcely be said that the Fer
ratio was fitted so as to ensure every pos
sible comfort to her passengers. Sho

on the barbette principle, two revolving
Hotchkiss guns, two Satlings and, i'll
