The Doctor was much surprised and
pleased.
You are mistaken. Maria ?"

found Carpeua, he would have provoked
him perhaps
You have done we'll, Maria The

the Manderaggio, and he has turned
round TO look after me with certain
suspicious attention If he mas followed
me. if he has asked my name. he ought
to know who l am.
He has never spoken to you p
Never"
And 10 YOU know why he has como
to Valetta, and what he has been dong
since his arrivals"
"All ! can say is that he lives with
the most hateful men III the Mander-
aggio. He hangs about the most sus-
picious drinking houses, and associates
with the worst of the scoundrels.
Money seems to be plentiful with him,
and l fancy that he is busy enlisting
bandits like himself to take part in some
villainous scheme"

"Oh, sir"

Doctor Antokirtt do not forget that all
things will come.
Yes all things come, Pierre, but say
rather with the help of God"
Maria and Luigi then took their leave
to return TO their small lodging. 1t
was arranged that Luigi should COM
mence his duties as soon as his sister
had come on board. 1t would not do
for Maria to remain alone in the Mander-
aGgio. for it was possible that Carpena
had recognized the daughter of Andrea
Ferrato.
When the brother and sister had gone,
the Doctor sent for Point Pescade, to
whom he wished TO speak in Pierres
presence.

stood in the attitude of man ever ready
