The monk sat down to the writing-table- , and taking a pen. began writing on some of the ofheial paper of 1 ll.-nr- the i reietto. Having finished, the monk held In his bands two papers. One of these he began to read aloud to the Count di Por.lino. It run thus: "The Confession of the Count dl Pordino, on his dying bed, before Maligni, the Profetto of Cagliarl, and the assembled monks and soldiers oshis household: "1, the Count di Pordino, do confess and do swear before God that the Is true; that my nephew, Henry Thorlane, the owner of tha Villa Thorlano and its estate, is Innocent of the crime of conspiracy against the prefetto, with which crime I charged him, for the sole purpose of putting hfm in prison and receiving at the hrinds of the prefetto my nephew's estate as my reward. "And it is my fear of future punishment that Impels me to make this true confession and withhold uone of the truth, that justice may now be done to my nephew, Henry Thorlane, whom I have wronged." "Is this correct, count?" asked Brother Michael, when he had finished. "Yen," whispered the count. "Then sign." Brother Michael dipped a pen in Ink and placed it in the grasp of the dying man. Feebly his fingers moved over the paper and scrawled his signature. Then Brother Michael turned to the prefetto and read the other paper. This was an official document, restoring Henry Thorlane to all rights of citizenship, restoring to him his valuable estate and removing ail taint and disgrace from bis name. This was signed by the prefetto, and the official seal was placed upon it. "Bring Henry Thorlane before me, that I may beg of him forgiveness!" gasped the prefetto. "Wait. There is one thing more to be done in an official capacity," said the niouk. "Your excellency, you recall tho Incidents of the nisht on which your brother was murdered?" The prefetto signified that ho did "A young man who had entered here to rescue NIta Barlotti from your brother a young man who had no enmity toward Pacho Maligni himself, but who was acting in obedience to the request of a friend who waa lost at sea was seized, and, with no other evidence against him, was sentenced to imprisonment for life for the crime. Your excellency, that young man escaped, but he Is here." Obedient to his signal, I stood before the prefetto. "He Is the Jew who came with me to give you warning of the attack that was to be made tonight. We have evidence, your excellency, that will convict another of the crime, and It but remains to seize the real murderer and place him In prlHon. And this young man, who is innocent of any crime against tho state, needs but your signature to make him free from the stigma that has been put upon hlra." "Is it true?
