gone, let the dead rest. Let's change
the subject. Tell me something to
see In Venice; it's all new to me, and
you seem quite at home"
"The galleries and castles of course
you've seen?'
Yes, but isn't there some Summing
OF something to do in this city of
bridges? I've been looking for some
body who could show me an exciting
place or two. Something different,
that's what l want"
I'm take you to the fish-markets to-
morrow, If you like. It's quite a
sight," offered Bowen.
Bully! Would you? l like that
sort of thing, and it isn't often one
meets a kindred spirit"
That's right" replied Bowen heart
lily.
Now forget all about that stone"
advised Poe in parting. You are
blameless, and don't let it worry you.
We will meet here at ten tomorrow"
They went to their separate hotels,
and before going to bed Christopher
Poe sent cable to his friend Burns.
Was the name of the suspect in
the Farmers National burglary
Belasco Bowen? l remember he
posed as a society chap. When
did he sail from New York?
On returning from an interesting
excursion with Bowen to the fish
market next day, Christopher Poe
found the following cipher message
awaiting him.
Right. Saw a newspaper notice
last month that after a house
party at Van Wendt's he went
aboard the same boat with them.
Having torn up the reassuring note,
Christopher Poe went to his room,
and sat for an hour concentrating on
the missing Duchess Diamond. Then
he sent word to Bowen inviting him to
dinner that night.
Poe turned the talk to glowing ap-
probation of Naples after the meal,
and before he and Bowen parted 1t
had been decided that they would take
the trip together.
At Naples Christopher Poe managed
so that he occupied room adjoining
Bowen's and, making his interests
conform with the younger mans, he
was soon ON an intimate footing with
him.
If Bowen had the Duchess Diamond
which Poe believed he had, surely the
possession of it seemed to bother him
little. He went about the business OF
enjoying himself as thoroughly as any
American tourist and never showed
the slightest degree of nervousness
always seeking Poe's company and
ever ready for diversion.
They had spent an interesting, ex-
citing week at Naples. when one night

thinking over the disappearance of the
Duchess Diamond, and piecing to-
gether bits of circumstantial evidence
against Bowen.
Half an hour later he strolled up to
the wireless room on the promenade
deck, and to his surprise, as he en-
tered, found Belasco Bowen just hand
ing over message to the operator
Bowen glanced up sharply at Poe's
entrance, then smiled easily, remark
ing:
Il was afraid I'd be a bit sea-sick,
but couldn't stand it in my berth, so
l strolled up on deck"
Poe had a fleeing glimpse of the
wireless message, as the operator
counted the words. and he was thrilled
to find it written in cipher.
For the remainder of the day he
strolled about on deck with Bowen,
and just before bedtime drank with
him one of the interesting black bot
ties Of Barbera, finding it excellent.
do we stop at Quarantine to pick
up the doctor?" asked Poe idly. as like
all travellers they anticipantly dis
cussed their arrival.
NO" answered Bowen quickly.
But we slow down to pick him up,
and usually the Customs men come
aboard there"
"Oh, yes, they row alongside in a
boat and climb up pilots ladder
remember"
Usually just opposite the little
Quarantine rock" added Bowen. we
run slow for about fifteen minutes,
coasting just past Quarantine"
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1915-09-24

Bowen received a cablegram which he
tore up and threw in the CRATE in the
presence of his companion.
Good news?" asked Poe.
mo; bad news. I've got to go back
home to tend to business" replied
Bowen.
i've about made up my mind to sail
on the Princess day after tomorrow"
said Poe promptly.
Good. Then / shall have the pleas
ure of your company to New York"
Bowen sat in thoughtful silence for
a minute, and suddenly remarked:
by the way, I want to take home
a couple of bottles Of that Barbera
we saw in that little wine-shop the
other day. / wonder II 1t would be
open tonight"
I'VE might stroll over and take a
chance" suggested Poe, anxious not
to lose sight of his companion now
that sailing-time was near.
Luckily the shop was open. and
Bowen purchased three bottles Of
choice wine privately put up by the
dealer in squat, thick-necked bottles.
"We'll drink these on the boat, to
avoid paying duty on them" remarked
Bowen. his eyes caressing the shapely
bottles.
Il volunteer my help" said Poe;
"guess I'll buy bottle or two myself"
With their purchases the pair
strolled back to the hotel, and before
going to bed that night Christopher
Poe sat long in silent contemplation
before the heavy wine-bottles.
An idea was smoldering il his mind
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1915-09-24

SO far he had nothing tangible against
Bowen except his record, as affirmed
by Burns, his interest in urging the
Van Wendts to go on the wild Fourth
of July excursion, and. his awkward
movement which showered Miss Van
Wendt with sparks. Since then Poe
had seen nothing to substantiate his
suspicion, and he was surprised that
Bowen could act innocence so per-
fectly. If he really had the diamond,
how did he figure to get it past the
Customs in New York? In Bowen's
manner he found no confession of
guilt; the young fellow acted naturally
and confidently.
Placing the wine bottles in the bot
tom of his steamer trunk, Christopher
Poe went to bed. Next day both we're
occupied in making preparations for
sailing, and it was only at dinner-time
that they met. after dinner, as they
were sitting opposite each other in
the quaint, cool lobby of their little
Italian hotel, Christopher Poe sud-
denly glanced down at his left hand.
How'd / get that?' he CRIED lifting
his little finger, to show the ragged
nail. torn jaggedly across. exposing
the quick.
He fumbled in his pocket with his
other hand.

glancing at Bowen.

Thanks, very much,' replied Poe
wincing bit from the irritation as he
worked at his nail.
There, it's all right now. Those are

the heavy, sharp blades.

Bowen quickly, reaching out. and

elated, but in the afternoon, as the
ship struck into the sea and pro-

retired to his stateroom, which he oc-
