and turned Martina over to him. Then
as fast as a taxi could carry me l
went downtown to detective headquar-
ters, and from there to Leoni's in
Elizabeth street.
We broke in the door. and Leoni
jumped up with gun in his hand.
One of the plain clothes men twisted
1t away from him and dragged him
out to where / was waiting.
Good morning, Leoni." said. II
Just pinched your pal, Martina. and
he confessed"
We had hard work keeping him
from killing himself.
"That dog" he screamed. That
dog!"
Had Martina confessed? oh. no:
but before morning we had the whole
story. Martina told on Leoni. and
Leoni on Martina. They had framed
up Black Hand conspiracy that was
a study in cunning. Leoni was to
find out when any italian banker had
any money. and Martina was to go out
and scare him. Leoni had made Mar
tina write him the Black Hand letter
so that he Leoni. could appear as q
victim Of that society, thus lessening
the possibility of suspicion that he
was a member of it. But for that
they might have been operating yet.
AS 1t was, they hadn't pulled OF q
single job. Martina had killed Can
tino as a warning to other bankers.
And 1 had caught the pair of them be-
cause Leoni foolishly had let me SEQ
a sample of Martina's handwriting.
The Federal authorities took Leoni
OF our hands. He Is doing twenty
years. The Wisconsin people gave
Martina life in prison.

Martina had been arrested while try
ing to get out of the country, but
nothing of the sort occurred.

Hello, Mr.. Leoni," 1 said "Seen
anything of Martina?'
Leoni was good actor but not good
enough.
you haven't seen him, have you?"
he said.
"Oh, yes" 1 said. 'T saw him out
in Whitefish. He killed a fellow by
the name of Cantino out there the
day before yesterday"
never watched anybody closer in
all my life than l did Leoni while l
was telling him this. No Anglo-Saxon
could have hidden what was going on
in his mind the way that little Italian
did. His expression was one of sur
prise, only surprise, that l should
mention such thing.
How horrible!" he said. How dis
tressing!"
He did 1t SO well that he fooled me.

to write up my reports, trying to find
a flaw in the theory had worked out.
Since had been uD against Leoni and
had played my big card and hadn't
brought anything out l felt that my
theory must be wrong. His express
sion absolutely had convinced me.
But as I wrote and rewrote the rec
ord Of my doings since Leoni had ap-
piled at the Office for man. couldn't
see where in the world l had fallen
down. II was any good at all then I
had worked up case that pointed
straight to the end had worked to-
ward. If 1t didn't point that way.
But hated to believe that had
failed SO completely.
Cantino had sold Martina tickets
over the old Italia-Mediterranean line.
Our men had been watching tho
docks and boats Of that company clos
er than any other. Nobody approach
ing Martina's description had sailed
on 1t. TIE second day that 1 was In
New York the report game that the
line wouldn't have another boat for
two weeks. and that no reservations
on that boat had been made from
Whitefish, Wisconsin. There had been
no reservation from Whiteflsh for
two months.
"stung!" said the agency superin-
tendent. "Your man got away on
some other line. told you that you'd
better let that Black Hand stun
alone"
But had my own private hunch. in
spite of the innocent expression on
Leoni's face. made myself a mental
bet that Martina hadn't left this
country. and that knew Just where
to find HMM time.

PLANS RELIGION FOR JAPAN
Mr.. izawa Would Have Il Center
About the Divine Right Of the
Emperor.

Mr.. Izawa, ex-vice- minister of edu-
cation, is the originator of plan to
provide Japan with an entirely new
religion. The new religious body. ac-
cording to the Japan Advertiser, is to
be called THE State Religious Com
munity OF JAPAN" and Mr.. Izawa ex-
plains his proposal as follows:
1.-THE Japanese Empire having been
governed by one imperial family since
the very beginning. the emperor pos
sesses divine right. Such policy can
hardly be found in any other country.
In China 1t has happened that the en-
peror abdIcates his throne to be sue
ceeded by one of his former subjects.
Then, too. when the German emperor
spoke once of his divine right. he was
strongly criticised. But in Japan the
emperor is the descendant of Ameno-
minakanuchi-no-Ka the creator Of
the world. Hence the imperial family
being a divine race is entirely differ-
ent from the race of Japanese.
"This ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is the only creator Of the world. and
he has existed since the beginning and
still exists. He is called emperor of
Heaven in China. Buddha in India.
and God in Western countries. My
plan is to gather religious commun-
ity around our emperor for the pur-
pose of cultivating among It's members
loyalty toward the emperor and of ele-
waiting their moral ideas.
"As to the citizens of other coun-
tries, they are all living under the gra-
cious protection of the Creator of the
world, so that they can become mem
bers of this religious community If
they become subjects of the Japanese
emperor.
