A SEQUEL TO "mR BARNES NEW YORK"

nights before by the death of two men.
has been Increased and extended.
During the first of his story, Emory
beams upon him with; the genial smile
of a man expecting ducats. During
the latter part Of it, his face grows
worried. several times he nervously
wipes the perspiration from his brow,
and squir1ns all over his seat uneasily.
At the close he shudders: Gee whiZ,
you want me to put my finger in q
regular COrsican vendetta? Not on yer
blooming lifei Not for all the rhino
in Barring Brothers. l tackled a West
Virginia feud once and, by the mercy
of God, came out alive; but from this
dark age Corsdcan article, which goes
into fourth and fifth cousins-excuse
me! I've heard of a fellow who barri-
caded himself in a house for twenty
years, and when he thought every
blarsted being but himself in the ven
delta was coffined, came out to take a
sun-bath, and-died in ten seconds. A
foster-cousin, or something of that kind
he had clean forgotten, was laying for
him. Besides. women sometimes take
hand in these affairs and play the
very devil"
yes. it's because one unfortunate
lady is already in this affair and an
other may be drawn into it / speak to
YOU" implores Barnes. 81 know money
won't tempt you, Emory, but coun-
trywOman. or rather one who will be a
cOuntrywoman-"
"Oh, you mean the future Mrs.
Barnes of New York. Well, for her
sake, hang me If I don't go your The
Yankee detective extends his hand.
But it amt the money, though, of
course. that'l be liberal"
Thank your Barnes gives Emory
81 49,.
Now, let's look over this affair."
But the detective interrupts: "Why
don't you get a move on and fly from
the sanky, cussed thing? AS soon as
ye're married, take yer wife under yer
arm and slope to America. Anstruther
can sneak his bride TO England, and"
That won't end it," answers Bur-
ton. There's money enough in the
pockets of one or two of these people
to carry the feud to the ends of the
earth. A few moments ago 1 told you
about Edwin's bride following the man
she thought had killed her brother to
Egypt. Now, when 1 walk down
Broadway on a pleasant evening from
the theatre, I'm not going to be look
ing over my shoulder for a dagger in
my back. I don't think Anstruther
would be content to live with sudden
death hanging over him and his wife
among the green lanes of England.
There's only one way to settle this af-
fair
Flows that?"
"Squelch it, says Barnes, savagely,
by killing those who would murder
me and my kin"
Gee whiz, the French government? ''
THE French government won't pre-
vent my defending myself. In Corsica
itself France has practically never in
terfered in vendettaS. Even bandits in
general have been too much for the To-
cal gendarmeS-there are two or three
wandering around Monte del ORC, near
Bocognano, now. Here are the docu-
mcnts, and now We'll meet this matter
personally and practically. As l wired,
you have obtained as far as you can, d
list of all the relatives of Musso Daniel
Ia" Barnes looks over the paper EN-
DRY has given him and observes: "All,
except COrregiO Cipriano Danella, Mus
SOS half brother, are practically
French"
Yes, that ! reckon puts them out of
this biz" says Emory. Except there's
a cousin-a kind of knock-about fellow,
Enrico, who's Corsican also-I didn't
get him till the last. You'll find his
name at the bottom Of the page"
Where is hep" asks Barnes.
Oils GllT1CO DuHlI1ulR ABOUT the
Riviera some place, 1 reckon. They
say he's always near a gaming table
when he's got any money in his pocket
When he hasn't, Enrico don't care
what he does to get more" answers the
detective
But, from your report, Corregio, the
brother is now in MarSeilles. Well
take this COrregiO first. He has a coun-
try estate near Sierra in the island and
spends the balance of his time chiefly
in southern France; is intensely Cor
sican," returns Barnes. Taking from
his pOcketbOOk the fragments of the
note Maud had given him-the one that
had produced Marina's nervous stroke
he places them before the detective
and asks: 'Is this Corregio Danella's
handwriting"
4 can't tell, but I'll find out for
you" answers Elijah, then his eyes
begin to roll, as he mutters: "Whew!
judging from the part of IL 1 can read,
that's a nasty document"
Yes, though 1 don't think we've got
the worst Of it, it is as crafty as it is
cruel. 1t was given to the bride not
entirely recovered from the agitation
of that horrible wedding night to so
shock her delicate and already over
taxed nerves that we cannot move
away from here. Some devil in Mar
settles is trying to hold up here till
these blOodhounds arrive from Corsica
and have time to act. Here's another
note in the same handwriting that puts
me in" remarks Burton, moodily. ST
received it at my hotel half an hour
ago. It's the Corsican custom to give
a delicate hint to the doomed He
reads:
Have a care of yOurselfi This is
thy warning. Remember death is on
you and your spouse and your off
spring, born and unborn"
Pleasant reading for a man with
his wedding day just ahead of him."
snarls the New Yorker That's what
makes me as vindictive as they are"
do you think with this in your
hand" whispers Emory, impressively.
you should have a wedding day? I've
heard such monstrous reports of their
internal jambories of blood from Per-
rier, the French detective, who went
over there once"
Not until this is finished" interjects
Burton, with moan of disappoint-
ment.
The detectives comment makes even
Barnes regular pulse beat slower.
We'll, what are your plans to meet
this?" asks the American criminologist.
