3 hind the closed door of last
year, boy and a girl played


on long, brown beach,
where the sea came every day to make
solemn organ tunes.
The boy was the son of the poorest
fisherman in the village that lay
crouched behind the sand dunes. And
the girl was the daughter of the rich
est man, who had the general store
and the postofficc and everything else.
Every day they played together on
the singing shores. The boy built
castles of sand for her and made tiny
boats that he named for her, and he
thought there was nobody like her,
and she thought that there was no.
body like him.
But there came a time when her
father was so rich that he wished to
stay in the little village no more; 50
one day big ship stopped off the

saw his little playmate go out over the
tossing waves, and presently the big
ship moved away again and he was
left alone
They have gone out into the wide
world" said his father to him, and
YOU will never see her again.
The tide came in and the tide went
out two times day, many hundred
times. No message ever came back
to the beach from the girl. At last
no one ever thought of her again-no
one except the boy. But he thought
of her always.

When the boats returned laden with
their catches, the other fisher lads
went into the village to frolic and
dance with the girls; but he sat on the
beach, through the long, soft summer
nights and thought of the girl that
had gone away into the wide world.
One night he could bear it no

floated out to sea. The ocean lay black

new YORK FEARS BLACK HAND
ItaIy's Criminality Rife in Gotham
and Aid of Government VIII be
Invoked.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-COming as
climax to a long series of crimes of
violence and craft, the kidnapping of
S-year-old Antonio Manino from his
home in Brooklyn by a band of Ital-
lian desperadoes has aroused a pitch
of interest seldom evinced in this
community, where so much lawless-
ness-picturesque or sordid-is daily
chronicled. Everywhere that men and
women meet it is a chief topic of con-
VersatiOn.
1t is not so much the settling of the
crime, though that is sufficiently the
atrical, nor the widespread sympathy
for the boy and his bereft parents,
that has caused the unusual public in
terest in the case. 1t is the wonder
where all this imported criminality
is leading to, and the half fear that
the bands of "Black Hands" and the
Malta, emboldened by the failure of
police efforts to suppress them or
protect their homes, may widen their
fields of operation, heretofore restrict
ed to their own cOuntrymen.
1t seems to the average New York
er as if the worst feature of Italy's
most lawless districts were to be
grated upon orderly New York,
which is unable to deal with this
| growth of exotic crime.
The offenses that have been COM
mitted of late by organized bands of
Italians here are not all crimes of ex-
tortion. Besides, kidnapping and
threats of murder, counterfeiting and
the stealing or forging of thousands
of citizenship papers are laid to
them. The result has been a great
and unjust cry against Italians in
general. Nobody feels this more
keenly than do the many aw-abidine
Italians who live in the city and 1t:
immediate vicinity,
Washington is to be appealed to
There is a clamor that the immigra
