the victims, and how the doctor had ta-
ken him from the cemetery OF Ragusa 10
associate him in the work he had under
taken. He finished his story by stating
that two OF the scOundrels, the banker
TorOnthal and the Spaniard Carpena,
were then in their power, but that the
third, Sarcany, was still at large, the
Sarcany VINO desired Sara Sand0rf for
his wife.
For an hour the doctor, Madame Bath
DRY, and her son went over in detail the
facts regarding the young lady. Evil
IDENTIFY Sarcany would stick at nothing to
bring about Sara's consent TO the mar
riage, which would bring him the wealth
OF Count SandOrf; and this state Of affairs
was what principally exercised them dur
ing their interview. But il the plans of
the past had now collapsed, those of the
present promised to be even more formi-
dabe. Above everything 1t was neces-
sary TO move heaven and earth to recover
Sara.
1t was, in the first place, agreed that
Madame BathOry and Pierre should alone
know that Matthias Sandorf was conceal
ed under the name OF DR.. Antekirtt. To
reveal the secret would be to say that Sa-
IA was his daughter, and in the interest
of the new search that was to be underta-
ken it was necessary to keep this quiet.
But where is Sara? Where are we
TO look for herr? asked Madame Bath
DRY.
1--WE will knoww answered Pierre,
in whom despair had given place to an
energy that nothing could quench.
''Yes, we will knOwv' said the doctor.
"And in admitting that Silas 1oronthal
does not know where Sarcany is we can
not suppose that he does not know where
my daughter"
And if he knows he must tell" said
Pierre.
Yes, he must speakp answered the
doctor.
Now"
"Now.V
The doctor, Madame Bathory, and Pierre
would remain in this state of uncertainty
no longer.
Luigi, who was with Point Pescade
and Cape MatifOu, in the large saloon of
the Stadthaus, where Maria had Joined
them, was Immediately called in. He
received orders to go with Cape Matt
fOu to the fort, and bring back Silas To-
rOnthal.
A quarter of an hour afterwards the
banker left the casemate that served him
foT a prison, with his hand grasped in the
large hand of Cape MatifOu, and was
brought along the main street of
Artenak. Luigi, whom he had asked
where he was going, had given hin no
reply, and in consequence the banker,
who knew not into what powerful per-
sons hands he had fallen, was extremely
anxious.
Toronthal entered the hall. He was
preceded by Luigi, and held all the time
by Cape MatifOu. He Just saw Point Pes
cade, ne did not see Madame BathOry and
her son, who had stepped aside. Sud-
denly he found himself in the presence of
the doctor, with whom he mad vainly en-
deavored to enter into communication at
Ragusa.
"You! Your he exclaimed.
"AhW he SAID, collecting himself with
an effort. at IS DR.. Antekirtt, who
arrests me on French territory. He
It is who keeps me prisoner against all
law"
But not against all justicew inter
rupted the doctor.
''And what have done to your" asked
the banker, to whom the DOCTORS pre-
sence had evidently given confidence.
Yes! What have done to you?
80 me? you VIII know soon," an
swered the doctor. But to start with,
Shas TOronthal, ask what have you done
to this unhappy woman"
Madame BathoryV exclaimed the
banker, recOiling before the widow who
advanced towards him.
"And to her son!" added the doctor.

Silas TOrOnthal. And he would GER
tainly have fallen if Cape Matifou had
not irresistibly held him upright in his
place.
And so Pierre, whom he thought dead,
Pierre whose funeral he had seen, who
had been buried in the cemetery at
Ragusa, Pierre was there, before MIN,
like a spectre from the tomb! Ia his
presence TorOnthal grew frightened.
He felt that he could not escape the
chastisement for his crimes. He felt he
was lost.
''Where is Sarag'' asked the doctor
abruptly.
'My daughterP
Sara is not your daughter! Sara is the
daughter OF Count Matthias SandOrf,
whom SaTcany aud you sent to death after
having treacherOusly denounced him and
his companions, stephen Bathory and
LadIslas Zathmarp
At this formal accusation, the banker
was overwhelmed. Not only did DR..
AntekirCt know that sara was not his
daughter, but he knew that she was the
daughter of Count Matthias SandOrt!
He knew how and by whom the
Trieste cOuspiratOrs had been betrayed
All his OdiOus life returned to TOrOnthal.
"Where is Sarar' said the doctor, re-
straning himself only by violent effort
cany, your accomplice in all these crimes
stole fifteen years ago from Artenak?
Where is Sara, whom that scOundrel is
keeping in place that is known to you,
to which you have sent her that her con-
sent to this horrible marriage may be
obtained! For the last time, where is
SaraY'
SO alarming had been the Doctors at
titude, so threatening had been his words
that Foronthai did notreply. He saw that
the present position of the girl might
prove his safety. He felt that his lie
might be respected so long as he kept the
secret.
Listen" continued the doctor, begin
ming to recover his GOODNESS, "listen to
me, Silas TorOnthal. Perhaps you think
you can manage your accOmplice! Per-
haps in speaking you think you may be-
tray him. Well. know this: Sarcany,
in order TO ensure your silence, after he
had ruined you, Sarcany tried to assas-
sinate you as he assassinated Pierre
Bathory at Ragusal Yes! AT the moment
my people seized you on the road TO Nice
he was going to stab you'll And now will
you persist Ia your siienceW
Toronthal, obstinately imagining that
his silence would compel them 10 make
terms with him, said nothing.
