Linden's purpose. The italian looked
about him nervOusly. His glare rest
ed upon a large portrait Of Allan
Pinkerton, the founder Of the agency.
The eyes of the veteran detective
looked down on the murderer accus-
ingly-at least he thought so. He
turned around and was greeted with
the motto of the agency, I'VE Never
Sleep" He was very uneasy now.
Linden re-entered the room carrying
gal-looking document in his hand.
It was warrant for the arrest of the
Italian. Linden looked very solemn.

The suspect arose, curious and fear.
full.
What is it," he cried.
Linden put his broad hand on the
mans shoulder.
Il arrest you for the murder of Nc
Clure and Flanaghan."
Rizzolo sank to the floer shapeless
heap of crushed humanity.
It was some moments before he re-
covered his nerve. When he did so
the detective said:
"You are not compelled to tell me

And there in that little room. in
passionate words, he poured forth the
story of the atrocious double murder

scheme to waylay and murder Me-

cocted on Sunday, September Gut
seppi Bevenino and Vincenzo Villella
and I thought what a good time we
could have in Italy If We could get
this money. We talked it over for
long time, and finally concluded to
carry out the scheme. We secured the
woods thoroughly to find good place
to conceal our firearms and the money
in case we succeeded. After looking
about for more than two weeks we
finally located place that suited our
purpose. Then bought a rife at a
store in Wilkesbarre, and we were
ready. On the morning of Friday. DC.
tober 10, l saw Mcclure go away from
the works. I followed him to Miners
Mills. Villella and Bevenino did not
come to Miners Mills that morning
but remained in the woods. After
leaving Miners Mills, passed Nc.

What did Mcclure say to you?"

zolo's sister was married and he made
her present of 5000 A month later
he presented his brother.in-law with
$1,000 to set him up in the bakery busi-
ness. Also, at sundry times he dis
played great rolls of greenbacks,
which were certainly not the profits of
his business in Poughkeepsie. Finally,
about the 18th of January, Rizzolo
made elaborate plans for a trip to
Italy. He arranged to sail on the
Goth of January. Linden resolved that
the Italian should never leave Amer
lea. He had ample evidence. He re-
solved to arrest him at once. So he
laid trap to entice Mike to Phila,
delphia, thus bringing him within the
jurisdiction of the court.
The Italian responded. As he alight-
ed from the train, Linden came for.
ward to meet him. Rizzolo was
somewhat taken aback at the sight of
the detective, but his nerve did not
desert him.
What do you want?"
II want you to help me out on a
little case I'm interested in" was the
significant response.

phia office of the Pinkerton agency

He must have had a smattering of
lawn fact, possessed that little
learning" which is dangerous thing"
because he said more than once to his
confidants:
"A man can't be tried for murder
twice. Once acquitted, he's a free
man."
He failed to realize that his hearing
before the alderman was not trial.
and that his discharge was far from
an acquittal. But from the moment
he was released his every footstep was
shadowed; every house that he en-
tered was marked; every word that he
uttered was overheard, and every
penny that he spent was noted in
little red book kept by one of Lin
den's rubber-shOed sleuths.
Rizzolo seemed anything but a des-
rerado. He was about "a years old
and rather agreeable looking, except
for his nose, which had a discolora-
ton which won for him from his coun-
trymen the nickname of Red Nose
Nike He came to America from
Calabritto, in the province of Avel-
linon, near Naples. In his own coun-
try he was apprenticed to barber.
But he was restless and dissatisfied
with this employment and wanted to
come to the United States, where, he
had heard, money was to be picked I'm
on the streets. On his arrival in
America he worked for awhile in New.

At this critical stage Of the game

Of the movements of Linden and his

some of the things he said on that &C.

At the word the two men Invested
themselves of their coats, swords and
waistcoats, which DR.. Nevinson kindly
picked up and piled on the edge of the
clearing out of the way. They kicked
of their shoes, too, and stood forth
in their stocking feet, in shirts and
trousers. Blythedale rapidly ran his
hand across the body of Darlington to
see that he had on no illegal garment
which might turn or ward a blow.

he said, stopping in his search.

He reached his hand up, unbuttOned
his collar, drew forth the locket, and
handed it to DR.. Nevinson. It con-

Are you ready, gentlemen" said
Blythedale, looking from one to the
other.
Ready" said Strathgate, stepping
lightly forward with appraised sword.
Darlington said nothing, but grimly
came to position.

two men.

after that We may go at it when We

and stepped near the two combatants,

they could get staring through the

Parkman looked from one to the
other. Strathgate had a little smile
upon his lips. He bore himself gal
lantly. There was no denying that.
His air was one of indifference, as il
he were slightly bored by the proceed
ing, although his eyes were shining.
Darlington, on the contrary, was very
pale. His lips were compressed, his
brow wrinkled. He looked the per-
sonification Of determination and in his
eyes, too, was light.
The two men stood up, each with his
sword turned downward, the point
resting on his right foot, which was
slightly advanced and at right angles
to the left foot. Each man had his
left hand behind his back.
Parkman drew a long breath and
cried sharply:
"Engage!"
On the instant two flashes of light
split the air. The next moment there
was sharp ring of steel, and the men
stood facing each other with knees

lifted high and the two blades press.

Two days after Rizzolo was dis
charged from custody he went to

for making money quick. His pros.

But all the while Linden had two
employees at the elbow of Mike Riz-
zolo. Both of these fellows were 1tal-
ians. One pretended to be half-wit-
ted and managed to he in the company
of Mike all the while. He not only
worked with him, but he ate and slept

dreams into his willing ear by night.

Debbie unhesitatingly joined. What

thought, if he could see her now pray

The course of the prayers was
