man, bat found no wound; then he
noticed that the hiooi had fowed from
beneath the left shoulder and he knew
that Mario Delaro the beloved OF all
who know him. the man who never
feared to face bis enemy. had been
struck from behind

which his soul was alled prevented him

FOR two Of the eellar-men soon appeared
and Ia a short time he had told them

They were al Germans and with
natural Teatonic caution each refused
70 touch the corpse until some person
OF authority was present. One Of them
was an old nan who had worked around
the vineyard and cellars for years and
tho other a tall gaunt young fellow who
was recent acq nisition to the place.
Neither Of the three could advance
any reasonable theories. The old man
knew every body for miles around but
could not remember that Mario b. ad an
enemy. Anton had known the dead
man for more than two years, and had
never hoard bitter word spoken Of
him. whi' the youngest man OF tho
three only knew that during the short
time he had beon there ho had received
his pay regularly, and had heard his en-
ployer spoken Of as a good fellow.
The other two looked 70 Anton for
some suggestion. and be gave the
only ono OF which he could think 1t
was that she young man should make
all haste into the town Of San Paols
and inform the authorities % what had
