Antonio Carucci IL true SON OF
Neptune, born, as his name tmpnes,
under the shadow of Vesuvius. He
goes down, to the sea In ships; and,
like all good mariners since old Noah
himself, returns with throat parch-
ed by many days Of briny breezes.
Last night, being new landed from
long cruise. Giuseppe sought soiace
In flowing fagons Of Chant, until,
when he tackled through the breakers
OF River-st. toward the beacon light
which his lass kept ever burning In
her wifely window, he had almost for
gotten his own name amid the rosy
aromas OF his national potation. Ar
rived at his domicil, Geronimo fell
into q deep sleep, with a sinuous
string OF spaghetti clasped firmly In
his corded hand: and as he slept,
he dreamed q dream. Then II goes
on TO treat the whole affair az o
hallucination, distorting or evading all
the facts. Ridiculous account. Rub
bish. Perfect rubbish"
AT least, II can DO Us no HARM,
said Mr.. Tabor, while Lady and ! en-
changed mirthful glances. The more
the whole affair IL belittled, the less
danger there IL OF any serious gossip
or investigation. What I don't like 10
this sort of thing" He crumpled q
red and black page across his knee.
There IL no substance In IL, but IL
might stir up trouble.
LAST night the perpetrators Of .
brutal and mysterious crime escaped
without struggle.
They abducted poor woman, q
wife and mother, from her home.
THEY left ebhind them destruction
and a red stain upon the threshold.
How did these wretches escapef
why were they not apprehendedf
The answer is simple: They were
lrich.
i "a swift automobile awaited them.
The police were powerless to stop
them as they sped away.
"'If a poor laboring man, crazed by
sorrow. commits crime, the utmost
rigor OF the law awaits him. He can
not purchase a great machine to
speed his flight.
Neither can he purchase the ma
! chinery OF Justice, the skill Of emf
nent lawyers, the shifts and delays OF
appeal. He must pay the penalty.
"'But the rich man pays only his
tmyrmidons The dastards who COM
mitted last nights atrocity vanished
behind cloud Of gold.
shall we permit these things to
be so? Shall We allow the wealthy
to avoid those punishments which we
Impose upon the poor? This means
you.
They deem themselves secure;
but though they exhaust every device
of plutocracy, they shall be brought
to justice In the end.

and we will find you yet"
THAT sounds threatening" said.
But, after all, liant II just az empty

days in the year. and nothing much

J will actually be any extra search be-
