T b e chil cl'sface vividly r e minds Prince Egan (who now v isits the Szalrus qnite frequent ly) of a companion of bis early you tb--li ttle V ass ia . He had uever seen o r heard any thing of Vassia since they bad been separated , while e ngaged in a fight in which Egan ba<l inflict!ld a deep wound upon the shoulder ofVassia. This r esen: blance in the cbilrl Bela was not sufficient e vid ence, however , to conclud e that his father bad any distinct r elat i o n~ hip to V ass ia . Tbe thought that De Sabrans might b e Vassia K asan nevertheless pursued Egan. On e cl ay af te r a chmgerou s enc01mter with bears in the Szalras woocls, Sabrans was seriously wounded and Egan baa stripped him of his clothes to bat he his wound s wh en lo! tbe scar o n the left shoulder was there! H e wh ispered in De Sabrnns' ear: " You are Vassia Kasan.'' .... t h e Marq uis with difficu lty recovers from the effects of his wound s and the ner vous prostration conRequ ent upon his discov ery begs Egan who, he knew, was his -=;worn enemy . Tru ~ tin g the n oble natnre of his offended relative De Sabrans wrote to him the wh ole account of his life sin ce tlwi r boyhood due l. He ha d gone to Mexico where he met and served old Seign eu r De Sabrans whose only son bad r ecently died. The old gentlem an had entru st ed a ll hi s manu scr ipts to -his
