He had a match and if there was enough wood there was a chance. The planking of the door was dry and there was no reason why it would not catch. “Meet Feather-in-the-Wind by rock crusher to-night,” he whispered swiftly, but cautiously. At this intelligence the spirits of Julia forsook her; she trembled, grew pale, and stood fixed in mute despair. Madame, though scarcely less distressed, retained a presence of mind. She understood too justly the character of the Superior to doubt that he would hesitate in delivering Julia to the hands of the marquis.
