The men have no sooner passed
than Barnes starts quickly down the
road. The lady" he guesses. means
either Marina or his own bride, though
of the last he has slight hope. A sub
dued light from the Town guides him
In the darkness.
But when he is within less than q
hundred yards of the building, his
horse, with q sudden snort of terror,
draws up right in the path. crouching
on his launches, and Barnes peering
over his steed's head, gazes into the
deep chasm that descends sheer to the
very sea. Springing from his trem-
the bridge, which is light. swinging
one not over IS feet in length, has
been swung to the other side.
The scent of a fresh cyclamen bloom
enters his nostrils. He looks at the

American. Then he hears voices from
the low Corsican house. Beyond the
crevices he sees Marina in white robe
amid the lights and flowers Of the
veranda- Her sweet tones are scarce
audible. Then Danella's voice reaches
