but no letter came.

Yes 1t is not impossible that he has

The word did not arrive, and Madame
Bathory had some trouble IN calming
her sons Impotence. He began to
despair and now il was her turn To give
him hope, although she was not without
anxiety. The house III the Rue Marin
ella was open TO the Doctor, rs he knew
and even without this new interes. he
had taken in Pierre was not the interest
he took in the family for whom he had
already shown such sympathy enough to
attract him there?
And so Pierre after counting the days
and the hours had no longer strength TO
resist. He must at all costs again see
Doctor Antekirtt An invincibe force
urged him TO Gravosa. Once on board
the schooner his Impotence would be
understood, hisaction would be excused,
even if it were premature.
On tine eth of June, at eight o'clock in
the morning, Pierre Bathory left his
mother without saying anything TO her
of his plans. He left Ragusa and hur-
ried 10 Gravosa at such rate that
Point Pescadc could hardly keep up
with him. AS he reached the quay in
front of the moorings occupied by the
Savarena at his last visit he stopped.
The schooner vas not III the harbor
Pierre looked about To see if she had
changed her place. He could not see
her
He asked n sailor who was walking on
the quay what had become of Doctor
Antekirtt's yacht.
The SaNareua had sailed the night
before, he replied, and he no more knew
where she had gone than where she had
come from.
The schooner gone The Doctor had
disappeared rs mysteriously as he had
arrived.
Pierre went back to Ragusa in
greater despair than ever.
Had an accident revealed 10 the
young man that the schooner had left
for Cattaro he would not have hesitated
to follow her. But his journey would
have been useless. The Savarena
reached the mouths, but did not enter
them. The Doctor accompanied by
Matifou went on shore in one Of her
boats and the yacht departed for some
unknown destination.
There Is 40 more curious spot in
Europe and perhaps in the Old World
than this geographic and photographic
curiosity known rs the mouths OF the

one might be tempted to think it is n
town, the seat Of bishop and the cap

bays side 10y side, communicating with
each other by narrow channels which
can be sailed through in six hours of
this string oil lakes, which stretch along
in front of the mountains of the coast,
the last, situated at the foot Of the Mount
Norri, marks the limit OF the Austrian
Empire. Beyond that is the Ottoman
Empire.
1t was at the entrance Of the mouths
that the Doctor landed after u rapid pas
sage. There one of the swift electric
boats was in waiting to take him to the
last of the bays. After doubling the
point of the Ostro, passing before Castel
Nuovo, between the two panoramas of
towns and chapels, before Stolivo,
before Perasto, celebrated place Of
pilgrimage, before Risano, where the
Dalmatian costumes begin TO mingle
with Turkish and Albanian, he arrived
from lake 10 lake at the last blight at the
bottom Of which Is built Cattaro.
Electric No. ? was moored few cable
lengths from the town on the sleepy,
gloomy waters which not breath of air
troubled on this fine night in June.
But it was not on board of her that
the Doctor intended 10 take up his
quarters. For the purpose of his
Interior projects he did not wish it to
be known that this swift vessel belonged

The boat that brought them was
soon lost in the darkness TO the right of
the harbor up a small creek where it
could remain invisible. There at
Cattaro the Doctor could be MS unknown
as if he had taken refuge in the most
obscure of the worlds corners. The
Bocohais, the inhabitants Of this rich
district of Dalmatia who are of Sclayi-h
origin, would hardly notice the presence
of stranger among them.
From the bay it looks as though
