the italian would make as though he
would display 1t on the street.
SOBRED FOR BROTHER,

would display 1t on the street.
SoBBED FOR BROTHER.
ooh, me poor brother" again sobbed
the ItaHan. "He dead and he leave
me all the money. Me no know what
to do with IL. This no all. Millions
over in Mexico. but me no know how
to get it, Me pay good money, make
you rich addressing Liberis) to go
with me-"
Williams patted the poor fellow on
the back and told him to cheer up as
he and Liberis would see him through.
and the trio entered a restaurant and
took seats at table. When the waiter
turned on an electric fan overhead, the
old italian jumped from his chair,
lodged under the table and leaped out
and started to run. What that hum
mer,' he said. Me never see anything
like 1t. Me fraid,' but he was assured
that it was all right, and there was no
further outbreak, excepting when the
cashier rang UP the money in the cash
register. Then he gave another jump
as though frightened at the cash reg
listers working.
LlBERIS WAS SORRY FOR HIM.
Liberis pitied the poor Italian and
offered to become his friend after the
italian had told a pitiful tale of not
knowing how to get the balance of his
money in Mexico, and was willing to
pay Liberis $40 per day, all his ex-
penses, and give him a present of $780,
600 or SIS, 900 when they arrived there.
Me make you rich,' the Italian
would frequently repeat, while Liberis
would gaze on in wonder as the italian
would occasionally get the big roll of
money a part way from his pocket,
revealing gold certificates, before Will
liams would demonstrate with him and
tell him to put his money back in his
pocket.
The three spent all of Friday after
noon together and finally both Liberis
and Williams agreed to go to Mexico
with the Italian and get the fabulous
sum left there by the dead brother,
who owned many gold mines. From
there they were going to Greece, where
the Italian had very wealthy sister,
who would give him some more money.
He would make Liberis and Williams
rich and would buy them everything.
Every few minutes he would reach for
his 500, 600 roll in his pocket, but will
liams would always tell him to put it
back.
MONEY PLACED IN A BOX.
IT was agreed that the wealthy
Italian should place0his 100000 roll in
| box for safe keeping and that Liberis
should draw out all the money he had
in the bank and they would leave.
"You can Just get all you have" said
Williams, for you won't ever want to
come back to Pensacola, for you know
you are rich now, and won't want the
nool room either" So Liberis went to
| the bank and drew out his $4,000.
The trio again gathered and then
Williams asked If Liberis had box
| in which to place all OF the money,
and Liberis did not, He returned to
the pool room in q few moments with
| tin cash box, with a lock attached.
They gathered around the box, which
was placed on the counter. and VIII
| liams proposed that the safest and
| best way to keep all of the money
would be to put it in the boz and lock
| it. He would keep the key and Liberfs
would lock it up in his safe. where it
was to remain until they got over to
Mexico. then they would have it sent
to New Orleans to them by express.
