men entered.
Hello, Fabroni" exclaimed one Of
the two who entered
Hello yourself ZancIla. Sit down
at this table"
Il have friend with me"
There is room for your friend. too.
pnd / shall be happy to know him"
''Giuseppe Attanasio, this Is my
friend Andrea FabIOni.'
The two Elen who werr thus intro
1uced stretched forth "a hand each to
he other In dong so AttanasiO's coat
sleeve was raised. exposing his cuff.
FabrOni's eyes lighted on the linked
button, but only for the fraction Of
second-indeed. not long enough for
AttanaSiO to notice that FabrOni re-
pressed a start
What are you doing now, Fabron1"
asked Zanella after the party had been
seated.
Il have taken an agency for an olive
oil house in Naples" said the man ad-
dressed. Il shall open an Office soon
with q 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 resident here.
Senior Attanasio"
-'Temporarily. | am looking fer a
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 longY 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. 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 a 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"
81 don't know"
DO you think that fellow Di Guida
had anything to do with it?'
''It was the general opinion when
left that he was the murderer"
rs there any evidence to prove it?"
81 really don't know. These crimi-
nal matters don't interest me- They
are grewsome affairs"
Attanasio spoke impatiently.
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 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"
The carabinieri are not lazy" re-
marked Zanella.
Yes, but they pride themselves so
Tar on being a national police that
they have no stomach for such cases
as they think belong to the municipal
they won't 1t is my opinion that if
the government had put the carabi-
nieri on the Archeopoli murder case
as soon as it occurred they would have
secured the murderer. AS it is, he has
got away safely enough. Likely be
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 converse ton had been turned
back to criminal matters sat drum
lsing with his fingers on the table as
though. not relishing such talk, he pre-
ferred TO drop out of il.
These criminals Fabroni was be-
ginning again whea Zanella interrupt
ed him.
oh sink criminalsi" he said. Let's
End 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 menu
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.
Bad government is what has made SO
many criminals"-
Criminals againw exclaimed Alta
nasio. Your friend. my dear Zanella
has criminal on the brain"
Really, gentlemen" Fabroni wen,
on, you must permit me to finish. We
have had more bad government in Ma
pies than any other part of Europe
aud that is what has made so many OF
our people cutthroats. wish to tel
you one bit Of criminality. and then
/ will let up. 1t is matter that was
told me by a friend of mine in the
municipal police of Naples. 1t is abou,
