The Furgeon atarted slightly, and

produced. A strange mass of atoll
was thrown up, and Kopani took it
to tho light and examined it. Moat
of it was of dark, brownish color,
but with streaks of yellow and
coarno blotches of red and green.
The yellow substance was of a mu

'Alio surgeon caught tho youth by
the band. Thero was something In
this noblo rpirit that moved him,
nnd ho knew now that all must have
been forgiven between tho two men.

"Then hasten,' urged Knrfc. ball

great discovery which ho had thus
helped to make.
"lie not uneasy. I will see that
ho differs not for want of human

cpokc he moved to the sideboard and
mixed on antidote. But ho did not
give it until the invalid had vomited
all ho could.
"Hold!" cried Burlo as tha Bur
geon took up the wine to mix tha
antidote with. "Touch not a thing
here. Perhaps the villain has poi
soned them alii"
"So it may bo," Kopani said, act-
ting down the bottle, lie then turn

binding by tho fire like one in a
trance, and asked her to bring a

ia into which he had fallen by tho
gentle opening of tlio door, lie turn
ed and beheld a human form emerg
ing from tha narrow, dark entry-
war. Aa it came into the room the
watcher started, for ho beheld tho
humpbacked priest, Savotano.
Who fa here J";" the arch fiend
whispered, shading his eyea and try
ing to peer into the gloom.
8hl" uttered Ruric. "Tho count
ia alseep." -
By this time our hero had so far
overcome tho first emotion caused
by tha villain's entrance that ha
could be calm.
"And who is this r the priest
whispered, moving nearer to the
bed. Ha! The gunmaker!"
"Yes," replied tho youth, watch
ing every look and movement of the
feJiow most closely.
lou aro in a strange place, I
should say," Savotano whispered,
not looking the young man directly
in the face, but casting upon him a
alilelong glance, as though lie dared
not look direct.
"Speak not too loud, sir firiest.'
said our hero, determined to enter
into no conversation with the man
if he could avoid it 'Do not awak
en the count, for he ia very faint
and weak."
And then Euric had another rea
son, lie feared if Damonoff should
awake that tho strange discovery
they had made might bo revealed,
and, of course, he wished not that
the villain should Yet know how well
he was understood.
"But why are you here V pursued
Savotano, who seemed determined
to know. "I am this poor man's
spiritual comforter, and I surely
Kara a right to know wherefore is
tha presence of one bearing the pe
culiaf relations toward him which
are sustained br you."
Ruric'a first impulse was one of
disgust and wrath, but he managed
to I teep It to himself.
"Sir priest," ha returned, moving
hi chair noiselessly nearer to the
visitor, ao that his whisper might
not disturb tha sleeper, "I heard
that the count was dying, and I
would not have him die without first
forgiving ma for all that I had
"And haa he done it V
"He has."
"And why do you remain here?
Where ia hia attendant f
"Bhe ia out somewhere. The
count haa had a strange fit a star
tling spasm and I feared if he
had another the woman could not
manage him alone.
Ahr . Uttered Sarotano. "A
I ea most strange one, as
thobiA something were at his heart,
as though hia brain were on fire and
hia whole feystem shaking."
Tha priest turned hia head away,
hat Burio saw plainly the exultant
took which rested there. .There wss
ho mistaking any more. That one
look for Burio saw it was proof
enoagn.
"Welt, well,'' the misshapen vil
lain said, "I will call again when ho
la awake. . would not have him
die and I not by him."
Thus peaking Savotano aroso
and moved toward the door. His
step was eager, and hia every look
betrayed some anxious purpose. Ho
stopped aa he reached the door and
looked back, but he did not speak.
Burio was afraid he might go to the
sideboard to look at too medicine,
but be did not lie simply catt one
more glance at the watcher and then
left the room.
In half an hour more the surgeon
retarmed. His faco wore a clear,
emphatic expression, and his move
ments were all quick and prompt,
as though each one was for the pur
pose ei announcing some self evi
dent dedaioa.
"Watt," he uttered, with a quick
ly drawn breath, "we have put the
medicines to a teat" And then he
leaned back and looked into Euric's
."And what did yon find?" the
young man asked.,
"Just what we expected. We
have detected arsenic in three of
the anediefnes which the count had
to take. But this poison is not
alone. There is much opium in the
wine, even so that we could smell it
whffli onr awpkiona guided us. The
Poison has been most adroitly fixed.
The priest most have one of those
recipes which have been used by sci
entific poisoners, for no physician in
Moscow could have concocted the
deadly poiaon."

He thought it was his shirt and that
