A man was dining in an Italian res
taurant in New York when two othe,
men entered.
"Hello. Fabronir' exclaimed one Of
the two who entered.
Hello yourself. Zanella. Sit down
at this table,
II have a friend with me-"
There Is room for your friend. too
and shall be happy to know him."
Giuseppe. Attanasio. this IL my
friend Andrea Fabroni."
The two men who were thus intro.
duced stretched forth q hand each to
the other. In doing 20 Attanasio's coat
sleeve was raised. exposing his cuff.
Fabroni's eyes lighted on the linked
button. but only for the fraction Of a
second-indeed. not long enough for
Attanasi0 to notice that Fabroni re.
pressed start.
What are you doing now. Fabroni?"
asked Zanella after the party had been
seated.
II have taken an agency for an olive
oil house in Naples" said the man ad.
dressed. Il shall open an ONCE soon
with warehouse in rear"
you like New York;
Every much. The bay here Is not
the bay Of Naples. but the city Is bet.
ter adapted to money making than
Naples. Are you q resident here,
Senior Attanasio?"
Temporarily. I am looking for q
business opening"
you will need some capital. There
is room in the importing Of foreign
fruits"
THANK you for the information. l
shall look into the matter"
"Have you been here iongY' asked
Fabroni of Attanasio.
"A couple Of weeks"
"What news did you bring from our
Carissima Italia? When | left every
one was talking about the Archeopoli
murder"
When Fabroni said this his eyes
were fixed upon those Of Attanasio. It
seemed to Zanella. who had been look
ing over the menu and at the moment
raised his eyes. that this merely hap
pened SO. but he was surprised to no.
tice slight change come over the
countenance Of the man addressed.
There was nothing of Importance
taking place when sailed" said At.
tanasio
Had the police got an! clew as to
who murdered Archeopoli?
II don't know"
do you think that fellow Di Guida
had anything to do with it?''
1T was the general opinion when
left that he was the murderer"
us there any evidence to prove it?"
II really don't know. These crimi-
nal matters don't interest me. Phey
are grewsome affairs"
Attanasio spoke impatiently.
1.-The only reason l don't like New
York." said Fabroni. lis the bad
name these Black Hand people give US
Italians. I'm almost ashamed to look
an American in the face and own !
am an Italian. New York ia full of
our countrymen who should be behind
bars. AS soon as one Of our criminals
at home does something to cause the
sleepy police to wake up and go for
him he skips over here"
1.-THE carabinieri are not lazy" re-
marked Zanella.
YES. but they pride themselves so
far on being national police that
they have no stomach for such cases
as they think belong to the municipal
force. They could If they would. but
they won't 1t is my opinion that If
the government had put the carabi-
nieri on the Archeopoit murder case
as soon as it occurred they would have
secured the murderer. As it is. he has
got away safely enough. Likely he
has come over here"
When Fabroni spoke this last sen.
tence he again fixed his eyes on those
of AttanasiO. But the latter a. soon
back to criminal matters sat drum
lAing with his fingers on the table as
though. not relishing such talk. he pre-
ferred to drop out Of 1t.
'These criminals Fabroni was be-
ginning again whea Zanella interrupt
ed him.
''Oh. sink criminals!" he said Let's
and something better to converse upon.
DO you think our people at home will
ever be able to disband our army and
save the cost Of supporting 3OO.OOO
idle men?'
I'VE may" said Fabroni. ''if we wish
to see some of our old enemies come
down on Us and occupy our territory
again. That's what has ruined u.s.
Bad government is what has made 20
many criminals"-
''Criminals again." exclaimed Alta.
nasio. "Your friend. my dear Zanelia.
has criminal on the BRAIN"
"Really. gentlemen" Fabroni went
