 A minute later Poe looked from a stuffed bear, left over from some street carnival and now adorning the middle of the room. to the kitchen corner. Nothing could be seen of the interior, for it was enclosed, but the cook could be heard tinkering with his stove and using an ash-sifter at intervals.
 Doesn't seem to pay much atten- ton to our breakfast" remarked Burns. Seems more absorbed In his stove, if one can judge from the sounds"
 "Oh, he'll get through with the breakfast all right. He's one of these methodic old cooks who thinks more of the behavior of his coal-range than the comfort of his guests"
 A swarthy Italian entered, and cried, Giovanni"
 Tn answer the cook poked his head through a small serving-door in the | partition dividing the kitchen from the dining room, and, perking his ] head with a wise roll of his eyes like a parrot in a cage, asked shrilly what | the customer wanted. A dish of macaroni was all. The face darted back, and half minute later came the same sounds of fussing with the stove.

"rd like to have look into that kitchen of his. but his for bidding sign scares me out" At that moment the tall, ominous l eyed Italian stepped forth from his cook-shop. and placed two plates ol ham and eggs before the bankers cooked Italian style. which means the ham was sliced very thin and the eggs were very old. | They ate from hunger. and really relished it.

 Giovanni smiled indulgently toward question of "Quanto?" replied. Sixty cent"

 A greedy light snapped in the deep set eyes of the tall cook. Two little spots of color appeared near his high cheek-bones as he went through his pockets and found only three or four dollars. Stepping to a cupboard in | the corner. he unlocked a drawer. and drew out ragged bills to the amount of fifteen dollars. and finally pieced | out the change.
 Poe handed back ten one-dollar bills.

 They crossed to the restaurant Burns had indicated. It stretched the length of five cheapcurtained win dows. and along 1t ran an old weather beaten sign printed .n purple and red, representation of volcano. the old sign itself gave a romantic, devil-may. care aspect to the place.
 'T rather like the look of this," cried Poe, glancing around the big dining room as soon as they were inside seated at an oil-cloth-covered table.
