CHAPTER VIII-fContinued.)
Father Beret felt the dangerous ac-
cess of power in his antagonists arm
and knew that crisis had arrived.
| He could not be careless now. Hero
| was a sworisman Of the best school
calling upon him for all the skill and
| strength and cunning that he could
command. Again the sanity element

worldly in the old mans breast. Alice
lying there seemed mntely demanding
that he avenge her. A riotous some
thing in his blood clamored for q
quick and certain act in this drama by
