BY Harold Carter.

In courage Alfiero was perhaps
a little more timid than a hare.
A big, hulking chap, who could
have given a dock laborer points
in the matter of muscle, he would
run from harsh word. His COM
rades regarded him with amused
contempt, which, as l then
thought, accounted for his melan-
choly.
That Nina, the belle of the
Italian colony on my estate,
should have fallen in love with
him, excited wonder-not the less
so when Tony, her most import
ant sutton, threatened Alfiero with
"a knife, and the big fellow sought
police protection. And Nina mar
ried him. She had done all the
wooing, and metaphorically
dragged him to the altar. 1t was
the saddest and most reluctant
bridegroom that / had ever seen.
Both had saved money, and they
set up little store on the main
street and prospered.
Perhaps it was that ! had hid
den my contempt from the man,
perhaps it was his loneliness that
led him to take me into his CON
fidence.
"Ah. signor. You think 7 am a
coward" he said one evening,
when he realized that I had actu-
ally pulled Nina out from the val
ley Of the Shadow. and had re-
fused to accept my medical fee.
Then he told me this story:
Alfiere waa from Sicily. the land
|of the vendetta. The elder OF two
brotaers. he had worked happily
upon his fathers farm until almost
Ia man. Then one day he had come
home to find his brother slain and
the homestead in ruins. It was the
revenge of the bandit. Lucca, be-
cause . relative had denounced
him TO the authorities.

from that day the solemn duty lay
upon Alfiero of wiping out the
murder in blood. For this he
lived. his life sacred, according to
the Sicilian custom, to this prr-
pose. For this he boarded his tiny
savings to obtain passage money to
New York. For this he went soft
ly. His life was no longer his
his own. He must beware of quar-
rels, take insults meekly, nursing
his life as the most precious thing
in the world-until he had wiped
out the murder in blood.
He had sought for Lucca high
and low, but to no purpose. Some
where near New York, he learned,
the man pursued hsi criminal OPP
erations under an alias. And Nina
knew, and had married him, await
ing her sad widowhood.
For If he met Lucca and was not
killed, Alfiero must kill him and go
