For fifteen years Sarcanv lived life
of pleasure and luxury, thanks to the
fortune he had acquired from his share
of Count Sandorf's wealth. How much
was there left of it a? His best friends, if
he had any, would have been puzzled to
say. He lad % look of preoccupation,
| of anxiety even, the cause of which was
difficult to discover behind the mask
with which he concealed his trne dis
pos ton.
T. Where does he come from Where
is he going" asked the Doctor who did
not lose sight of him.
Where he had come from was easily
ascertained by asking the purser of the
Saxonia. The passenger had come on
! board Mt Brindisi. Did lie come from
Upper OF Lower Italy? They did not
know. In reality he had come from
Syracuse. On receipt of the telegram
/ from the Moor he had instantly left
Sicily for Cattaro.
For it wat Mt 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
noticed her, he saw Sarcany walk up to
her, he heard the words she said to him
in Arabic. and he understood them
6 1t was time!"
Sarcanv's reply was nod. Then,
after seeing his luggage passed by the
, Custom House officer, he went off with
/ the Moor towards the right so as to go
outside the town.
The Doctor hesitated for moment.
| Was Sarcany going to escape him?
Ought he to follow him?
Turning round he saw Cape Matifou,
who was standing gaping at the Saxonia's
passengers. He beckoned to him, and
/ he was at his side in al instant
Cape Matifou," said he, pointing to
Sarcany who was walking away, do
you see that man?'
! Eyes"
eff tell you to carry him off will you
do SOP"
Eyes"
"And you will give him something to
prevent his getting away if he reslsts ?"
Yes"
Remember want him alive!"
Yes"
Cape Matifou was 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 and before
she could give the alarm Sarcany would
be on board the Electric
The darkness, though it was not very
profound, would facilitate mat; ers.
Sarcany and the Moor continued their
walk round the town without noticing
that they were being watched and fol-
lowed. They did not speak to each
other. They did not wish to do so until
they reached some quiet place where
they could be safe from interruption.
They reached the south gate opening on
the road which leads from Cattaro to the
mountains ON the Austrian frontier
At this gate is an important market, q
bazaar we'll known to the Montenegrins
Here they have to transact their business
for they are not allowed to enter the
town except in very limited numbers
I and after having left their weapons
behind them. On the Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday of each week the
mountaineers come down from Niegons
or Cettinge. having walked for five or
six hours carrying eggs, potatoes poul-
try, and even faggots of considerable
weight.
This was Thursday. A few groups
whose business had not finished till late
had remained in the bazaar intending 20
pass the night there. There were alb, ut
thirty of these mountaineers, moving
about and chatting and disputing some
stretched ON the ground to sleep, others
cooking before coal fire small sheep
inpaled on a wooden spit Albanian
fashion.
To this place as though it was we'll
known to them came SAL cany and his
companion. There it would be easy for
them to talk at their ease, and even
remain all night without having to go in
search of lodging. Since her arrival
at Cattaro the Moor had not troubled
herself about another lodging.
The Doctor and Cape Nation followed
them in, one after the other. Here and
there few fires were smouldering and
giving but little light. The Doctor
regretted that he had not put his project
