~ February 81 1915, Edmond
~ Dantes sailed into Marseilles.
~ He was but nineteen years OF
age and ardently in love. His con-
science was clear; he had violated no
law. Yet the next night he was in a
cell in the gloomy Chateau DIFF, a for
tress on a bare rock off Marseilles.
And fourteen years were to pass be-
fore he strobe again in the sunlight.
Three men had wrought his ruin.
Danglars envied Edmond's rapid pro-
motion. Fernand was crazed with love
for Mercedes. Edmond's beloved. Dan
glars wrote and Fernand dispatched a
letter warning tine authorities to inter
cept the missive Edmond was bearing
to Paris. Chance decreed that this
warning. addressed to Villefort's ia
Their fell into the hands of the I'M
scrupulous Villefort himself.
OF this dark intrigue Edmond knew
nothing. At his captains dying re-
quest, he had called at Elba where he
had seen the captive Napoleon and
been intrusted with a sealed letter.
VillefOrt, a turn-coat devoted to the
aristocracy, had changed his name to
make men forget that his father was
a Bonapartist. He destroyed the in
eliminating letter before Edmond's
eyes and promised that the lad should
soon be free. Even as he spoke the
words, he knew that in the disappear
ance of this youth lay his own security.
Thus it happened that while the
Corsican came out of Elba by stealth
and rode to Paris amid tumultuOus
cheers, Edmond lay in dungeon. The
thunder of the guns at Waterloo did
not penetrate the walls of the Chateau
DIFF. Napoleon was borne away to
st. Helena; the Hundred days were
over. And Dantes knew naught of
these things. He ate out his heart in
thoughts of Mercedes and wondered
what mad freak of fortune had thrust
him away from the world of men.
Days dragged into years. He lost
| track of time. Confined in a black and
Shiny dungeon, he saw only his jailer
There were moments when Ire hoped
hours when he despaired, weeks wher
he rayed in impotent anger. -Four years

to death. Then he heard rasping
