despair, and now it was her turn to give
him hope, although she was not without
anxiety. The house in the Rue Marin
ella was open to the Doctor, as he knew,
and even without this new interest 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 invincible 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 the 7th 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 to Gravosa at such rate that
Point Pescade 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 in the harbor.
Pierre looked about to see if she had
changed her place. He could not see
her
He asked q sailor who was walking on
the quay what had become of Doctor
Antekirtt's yacht.
The S.varena 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
disa. peared as mysteriously as he had
arrived.
Pierre went back to Ragusa in
greater despair than ever.
Had an accident revealed to the
young man that the schooner had left
for Cattaro he would not have hesltated
to follow her But his journey would
have be- n useless. The Savarena
reached the mouths, but did not en- ter
tn m. The Doctor accompanied by
Matifou went on shore i'll one of her
boats and the yacht. departed for some
unknown DIES nation.
There is no more curious spot in
Europe and perhaps in the Old World
than this geographic and photographic
curiosity known as the mouths of the
Cattnro. Cattaro is not river "a any
one might be tempted to think; it is
town, the seat of q bishop and the cap
itaiof Circle. TIE mouths are six
bays side by side, communicating with
each other by narrow channels which
can be sailed through in SIX hours. Of
this string OF lakes, which stretch along
in front of the mountains of the coast,
the asst, situated at the foot of the Mount
Nurri marks the limit of the Austrian
Empire. Bey that is the Ottoman
Lupire.
L was at the entrance of the mouths
that the Doctor landed after a rapid pas
sage There one of the swift electric
boats was i'll waiting to take him to the
last of the bays. After donblinr the
poin, 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 to lake at the last blight at the
bottom of which is built Cattaro.
Electric No. 2 was moored few cable
lengths from the town on the sleepy,
gloomy waters which not a breath of air
troubled on this fine night in June.
But it was not ON board of her that
the Doctor intended to take up his
quarters. For the purpose of his
Interior projects he did not wish it to
be known that this swift vessel belonged
to him ; and he landed at Cattaro with
Cape Matifou accompanying him went
off to one of the hotels in the town.
The boat that brought them was
soon lost in the darkness to the right of
the harbor up small creek where it
could remain invisible. There at
Cattaro the Doctor could be rs unknown
as if he had taken refuge in the most
o scure of the worlds corners. The
Bocchais, the inhabitants of this rich
district of Dalmatia, who are of Sclavish
origin, would hardly notice the presence
of a stranger among them.
From the bay it looks as though
Cattaro we're built in hollows on the
side of Mount No.ri The first houses
border on the quay, an esplanade won
nom the sea at the apex Of the acute
angle of q small lake which runs deep
