THAT is Zirone - answered the
Spnniard.
Zirone looked attentively at the
young bandit whom Carpena had
praised so much, and who introduced
himself in such free and easy manner.
Doubtless he thought he looked intelli-
gent and daring, for he gave IN approx
ing nod. Then he spoke to Pescador.

More than the others.

during the stay of the Savarena, nor ut
Malta while the Ferrato was there, could
have heard of the doctor was n puzzler.
But with his decision of character he
