Her sister, an artist, is summoned to her deathbed, and on learning the truth, vows vengeance on the man. Returning to town, she takes lessons from the fencing master and contrives to leave from time to time, in the most unexpected quarters, mysterious notes from "the Avenger." This system of persecution works on the man's guilty conscience so that he becomes unnerved. When she deems the moment propitious, she leaves a last warning: "Prepare to-night to meet the Avenger," and, wearing a mask, makes her way into his presence. Signing to him to defend himself, she attacks him pitilessly with his own weapon; a deadly duel ensues; the fencing master's sword is whirled from his grasp, and as he sinks to the floor, overcome by his fears, the Avenger strips off her mask. With a gasp he falls inert, and the girl, kneeling above him, feels that his heart has ceased to beat. Her sister's honor is avenged. But as she recoils from her victim she questions whether it had not been better that he live on and. in the iron grasp of conscience, meet a retribution even more terrible.
