We turned simultaneously for an explanation, but there was no one to give it. "I always suspected who he was," said Mike, "but he's got no hold on me, no claim to a bond signed with my blood. See, there he goes!"
"And yet," he swore, "I must find him. And, by thunder! wherever he may be hid, I shall find him." M. de Tregars was watching M. Saint Pavin with a scrutinizing eye. "You have a great interest in finding him, then?" he said. The other stopped short.
