Actual Occurrence Of Today Told
In Story Form
BY ARTHUR A. TAYLOR
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation. 1911.

Occasionally certain events in which
there is what we call romance need
only to be put in story form to make
them twin brothers to fiction. The
following is an example:
Two men. apparently Of the lower
grade of Italians, sat chatting in a
wine shop in Naples. The face and
hands Of one were begrimed with coal
dust, for by the carrying of that fuel
he earned his living; the other was not
at the time following any especial call
ing.
"Gennaro," said the coal HEAVIER, "tell
me how to proceed to become a mem
Der Of the Camorra."
"What do you mean by the Ca
morraY
Nonsense. know that 1t exists and
that you are a member of it."
"Well, Luigi. since you and l are
close friends | will admit to you that
i am member Of the Camorra. AS
to your getting into the society, you
must prove yourself in full sympathy
with its objects, which are to enable

"By the bye. Gennaro. they say thu
police have got on to the truth as to
the Cuocolo murder"
Gennaro smiled CONTEMPORARY
"The police know nothing about that
matter. know everything"
"Well. what do you know?" asked
the other indifferently.
do you suppose /, who have taken
an oath not to reveal the secrets of

ETY. you will know such things for
yourself"
ooh, care nothing about that mat
ter. What I wish is to be able to live
without work. have few soldi left.
Let us have another liter of wine.'
A month later Gennaro Abbatemag-
gio was arrested for some small theft.
and Luigi Bucini went to see him in
jail.
"How is it. Gennaro." said the lat
ter. "that you are in jail? Is your
society powerless to protect you?"
Gennaro smiled. "Do you suppose
the Camorra risks interfering in petty
affairs like this? But wait till I am
tried. Then you shall see me walk
out Of court a greatly wronged man."
"Well. you see that 1 don't forget
you, Gennaro. 1 have brought you
some fruit. some bread and liter Of
wine. l managed to get my hands on
quite large sum of money recently.
and l promise you that I will keep
you supplied with comforts as long as
it lasts
you are a true friend to do that"
"What else can do for you?"
There is something l wish you
could do for me. but that is impossi-
BILE"
what is it?''
'Luigi. am in love-"
Now. my dear friend. you are show
ing that you have some affection for
me. Tell me all about It, 1t may be
that can help you. Does she live here
in Naples?'
"No: in Capua."
'What Is her name"
Blanca"
"And what is that you would have
me do for you that cannot do?'
ENABLE me to marry"
Luigi was silent for time, then said:
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-04-28

Luigi paid for the wine they had
been drinking and in doing so pulled
out great roll Of bills. Gennaro saw
them and fell under the temptation.
"Come with me- he said. "down TO
the sea wall. We will get a boat. 60
out into the bay. where we shall not
be heard. and will tell you ALL"
In small street in Capua prepare
lions are being made for a wedding.
The groom is our old friend Gennaro:
the bride Is his Blanca. Both are bet
ter dressed than they have ever been
before. and feast more savory than
either has ever partaken of is set be-
fore them and their guests. Bianca's

moved from cart to the house.
And now the wedding party have re-
turned from the church and are sitting
around the festal board. Every one is
happy. except that the groom keeps
looking out of the window expectantly
Luigi has promised to attend the we'd
ding. but has not yet put in an appear

sat the wedding party, opens the door
and walks in.
Had he been specter he could not
have created more CONSERVATION. The
groom looked at him. and every vestige
Of color left his face.
Luigi he faltered.
"Do not trouble yourself about this
change in my costume" said the SER
geant Of carabineers. you and I are
under the protection of the govern
ment. This wedding outfit and the cap
ital with which you are to open your
shop are advanced by his majesty the
king. But more of this hereafter. For
the present let us proceed with these
wedding festivities"
Taking up glass. he filed it with
wine, held it aloft and said:
ITO the health of our sovereign and
the little BRIDE"
The Gardiner from that time passed
under his real name, Capezzuti. Acting
under the special orders of the king of
Italy. he had undertaken to secure evil
dence in the Cuocolo murder case. with
which the government proposed to at
tempt the breaking up of the celebrat-
ed Bella Suggieta Reformata the Beau
tiful Reformed society. headed by En-
rico Alamo. After the wedding festiv-
tiles he took Gennaro into a private
room, where they conversed for long
while. When they came out the groom
was enlisted in the service of the gov
eminent as spy.
Probably no detective ever took
greater risks during the period he was
securing this important evidence than
Sergeant Capezzuti.
