body to take his best horse leaving the castle by a secret door in tho gallop to Nori for had reached w in due and half an hour after his arrival he started on his way back to Castle accompanied fifteen well mounted and well dresse under the leadership of the only carabiniere that was station ed at were extremely anxious to succor the besieged and to in a terrible lesson upon the outlaw that had infested the country for years While are on their way to the scene of the we briefly state the cause of the mortal feud lie Count ami the bandit In the year 1812, both the Count and had been officers in the Sixteenth Italian under Napoleon the had participated in the disastrous Russian Count had been lieutenant colonel of the only a second During the battle of had been caught in tin act of robbing a wounded Russian gen He had been tried Ivy a court over by Count Casa anil had been cashiered and sen fenced to lie sent to the galleys at Genoa for six When his epaulets were torn from

at first led an honest life as a but iu 1822 he had joined a gang of and had finally been compelled to flee to a large reward having been offered for his ap dead or On the Island of Sardinia lie had learned for the first time that Count against whom he had sworn such terrible vengeance iu the year 1812, was now proprietor of the castle and estate of where he lived peaceably and happily with a beautiful wife and a family of charming From that moment his principal object was to murder the He had twenty-five ruffians about than whom no viler could be They were the dregs of the robber gangs of the Italian who had found a last asylum in the mountain fastnesses of the Island of a powerful had easily become their They readily followed him wherever he told them to rob a peaceable farmer or a traveling But when he told them they must help him to Count even if it should ie necessary to storm his they id for Castle being situated on a deep as surrounded by high and could be entered a single gate or than which nothing stronger could be Rocca overcame their repugnance by telling them that lie would secure them admittance to the of the castle through a that could easily overcome the resistance of tho Count and his four servants that the beautiful Countess and her three young daughters should be surrendered to their And then he disguised three of his ruffians as and sent them to Castle Count knew who Rocea was he knew also that he might look for the unless he could hold out with his three men until succor arrived from the bandits were thundering with the butt ends of their muskets against the iron They had easily forced open the outside and were as it in the interior of the wall which had been built Manza was an old mediaeval extraordinary There was between the outside gate and the inside door a space about twelve feet nine feet and seven feet Rocca could not think of sealing the for its top was fringed with sharp iron As yet he had no idea that two of his digitised pilgrims were and the third a helpless he ordered his men to stop pounding against the iron and he shouted in a thundering arc you doing inside I tell yon This time Count he but terrible two of emissaries have paid with their lives for their The third lies on the Take warning by their you and your for death awaits all of you without The outlaws were considerably startled by this But Rocca cried believe he he then in a voice of terrible you know you cannot escape for if you try to jump from the rear my men there will shoot jou The Count knew was for servant girls toid him that none of the outlaws were posted in the rear of the and that his hail safely gotten continued his He told Count he would gouge his eyes out and cut he would hack him slowly to he would ilay him lie would use his wife and children as targets for his and his men's He offered the Count's servants their lives and a large reward if would open the door to him and his fellow But all was in The besieged saw that the iron door hold out for and hoped that succor would arrive from Nori in then ordered his men to come so that a fire might lie built between tiie gale and the when the hinges would This dangerous
