HIS HANDS AND SEIZE THE BIRD WAS

suggesting ylliainy as OF carrying 1t
INTO effect He might have told people
where he had been born had he known
but he never willingly said where he
lived or if he lived anywhere. 1t was in
Sicily that the chances of Bohemien life
had made him acquainted with Sarcany.
And henceforth they had gone through
the world, trying per fas ct netds to make
a living 10y their wits. Zirone was O
large, bearded man, brown in complex
ion and black of hair, taking much
pains to hide the look of the scoundrel
which would persist in revealing itseU
in spite of all his efforts In vain he
tried to conceal his real character be-
meath his exuberant volubility, and,
being of rather n cheerful temperament
he was just as talkative about himself as
his younger companion was reserved.
To-day, however, Zirone was very
moderate in what he had to say. He
was obviously anxious about his dinner.
The night before fortune had been un-
kind to them at the gaming table, and
the resources of Sarcany had been
exhausted. What they were to do next
neither knew. They could only reckon
on chance, and as that Providence Of
the Beggars did not seek them out on
the mole of San Carlo, they decided to
go in search of it along the streets of
the new town.
There, up and down the squares,
quays and promenades on both sides Of
the harbor leading to the grand canal
which runs through Trieste, there goes,
comes, throngs, hastens and tears along
in the fury of business population OF
some 20, 600 inhabitants of italian origin,
whose mother tongue is lost in cosmo-
politan concert of all the sailors, traders,
workmen and officials, who shout and
chatter in English, German, French or
Sclave. Although this new town is rich,
it by no means follows that all who tread
its streets are fortunate. No! Even
the wealthiest could hardly compete
with the foreign merchants-English,
Armenian, Greeks and Jews-who lord
it at Trieste, and whose sumptuous es-
| adjustments would do no discredlt to
the capital of Austria-Hungary. But,
