DRY was sitting at the window when the
Doctor and her son entered.
Maria, seeing it would be better to
leave them together, retired to the largo
saloon.
Doctor Antekirtt then approached her,
and laid his hand on Pierre shoulder
Madame Bathory," he said, Il have
already made your son my own . But
what he is not yet through friendship, 1
will do all / can TO make him through
paternal love, in marrying him to Sava,
my daughter"
Your daughter T. exclaimed Madame
Bathory.
Il am Count Matthias Sandorf."
Ma lame Bathory jumped up and fell
back into her sons arms. But if she
could not speak she could hear. In
few words Pierre told her what she did
not know, how Matthias Sandorf had
been saved by the devotion of the fisher
man Andrea Ferrato. why for fifteen
years he had passed as dead, and how
he had reappeared at Ragusa as Doctor
Antekirtt. He told her how Sarcany
and Toronthal had betrayed the Trieste
conspirators, and related the treachery
of Carpena Of which Ladislas Zathmar
and his father had been the victims, and
how the Doctor had taken him from the
cemetery of Ragusa to associate him in
the work he had undertaken. 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 who desired
Sava Sandorf for his wife
For an hour the Doctor, Madame
Bathory and her son went over in detail
the facts regarding the young lady.
Evidently Sarcany would stick at moth

marriage, which would bring him the
wealth of Count Sandorf and this state
of affairs was what principally exercised
them during their interview. But if the
plans OF the past had now collapsed,
those of the present promised TO be even
more formidable. Above everything. il

Madame BlthOry and Pierre should
