men entered.
"Hello. Fabronir' exclaimed one OF
the two who entered
Hello yourself, zaneIla. Sit down
| at this table"
81 have friend with me"
There is room for your friend, too.
and shall be happy to know him"
Giuseppe. Attanasio, this Is my
friend Andrea FabronL"
The two men who were thus intro
duced stretched forth a hand each to
the other. In doing so 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
Attanasio to notice that Fabroni re-
| pressed a start
what are you doing now, FabroniT'
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 Office soon
with warehouse in rear"
"You like New YorkT
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 a resident here,
Senior AttanasioY
Temporarily. l am looking for a
business opening"
''You will need some capital There
is room In the importing Of foreign
fruits"
"Thank you for the information.
shall look into the matter"
Have you been here longY' asked
Tabroni of Attanasio.
"A couple of weeks"
"What news did you bring from our
Carissima Italian When l left every
one was talking about the Archeopoli
murder"
When Fabroni said this his eyes
were fixed upon those Of Attanasio 1t
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 any clew as to
who murdered Archeopoli"
II don't know"
do you think that fellow Di Guida
had anything to do with itT'
at was the general opinion when !
left that he was the murderer"
"Is there any evidence to prove it?"
II really don't know These crimi-
nal matters don't interest me. They
are grewsome affairs"
Attanasio spoke impatiently.
1.-THE only reason | don't like New
York." said Fabroni, lis the bad
name these Black Hand people give Us
Italians. Pm almost ashamed to look
an American In the face and own
am an Italian. New York is 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 ZaneIla
Eyes, bur 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
| h.,d H.,
nier1 on the Archeopou 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 as soon
as the conversation had been turned
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 it.
"These .criminals"- Fabroni was be-
ginning again whea Zanella interrupt
ed him.
"Oh, sink criminalsr' 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 100000
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 US.
/ DO fo hnf ha
many criminals
Criminals againP' exclaimed Alta
nasio. "Your friend, my dear Zanella,
has criminal on the BRAIN"
Really, gentlemen" Fabroni went
on, "you must permit me to finish. We
have had more bad government in Ma
pies than any other part of Europe.
and that Is what has made so many of
our people cutthroats. l wish to tell
you one bit of criminality, and then
will let up. 1t Is matter that was
told me by q friend of mine In the
municipal police of Naples. 1t is about
a murder perpetrated not long ago. A
member of the celebrated Camorra had
got rich by his robberies and wished
to live a life Of ease without danger
To get rid of those Of the Camorra
who knew about his transactions he
informed upon them. No sooner had
he done SO than he was condemned to
die"
7 The speaker paused and slipped his
wine. Zanella glanced at his friend
Attanasio and saw that Fabronis story
I was having powerful effect on him.
He fingered his glass nervously, and
his restless eye was never fixed but
for a few moments on any object.
"A man whom we win call Amadeo,"
continued Fabroni, twas deputed to do
the deed. He and the person to be
dispatched had been and were sup
posed to be bosom friends. He knew
the doomed mans residence, the room
he slept In and how to get in and out
without being seen. One night he
climbed lattice, got on roof, enter
ed his friends room, and well, the
next morning his frien1 was found
dead in his bed and quantities of jew
elry he had gained by stealth were
missing The stealing of the jewelry
was to give the impression that the
man had been murdered for that es-
pecially."
The speaker again paused and took
a sip Of wine. Attanasio had become
more and more agitated till he was
now trembling.
go ahead" said zanella. IF you
win give us your horrid stories, and
get through with it"
BE patient l am nearly finished.
The murder was reported to the po-
