mentioned in his letter.
Going toward the hotel which was
in new Naples, the children won
dered if a Signor looked any diff
ferent from other men they had
met. They thought perhaps he
might look like Sir Sprigg. Jack
said he hoped so.
AS soon as they entered the
lobby of the hotel, they saw man
coming to meet them and they
knew at once that it must be
Signor Angelo-he locke dso hand
some and so distinguished looking.
the children thought. They were
soon introduced to him by Captain
Brave and they knew they were go
ing to like him because he was SO
kind and kept saying such funny
things.
After lunch Signor Angelo Or
dered his automobile, an Italian
make, the Signor told Jack, who
admired the beautiful car the very
first thing, and announced that if
everyone were willing they would
take ride and look over the city.
All eagerly agreed and the car
spun away.
AS they were going along the
seaside they passed the old fortress
CASTILLO NuovO, which reminded
the children of the Tower of Lon
don. Signor Angelo saw by the
expression on Jacks face that he
was disappointed that they did
not go into the old fortress and told
him that they We're going there,
tomorrow, and to the Castle of st.
Elmo, which he pointed out to
them standing on a high hill above
them.
Zone day while you are here" he
said to Ladydear in his beautiful
English and in the soft tones with
which most of the Italians speak,
we shall go to the National Mu-
scum over there" pointing far in
the distance, FOR you would enjoy
it. There are many beautiful and
strange things there"
Then he told Jack and Jane that
in this museum were many things
brought from Pompeii.
"Oh, yes. we've heard of Pom
peii," cried Jane, 1T was a city that
was covered over with a river of
lava and lots of people were
killed"
And there is the mountain that |
killed the beautiful POmpeii," said
Signor Angelo in his quaint way, |
and pointing high overhead to the |
great mountain Vesuvius Jane
was surprised that it was the noun, |
tain that had caused such destruc-
tiOn-it looked so calm and beauti- |
full
Now, we shall go through the
ToleuO-One of the oldest streets !
in Naples" said Signor Angelo
Here they saw some tiny shops full
OF beautiful things. Ladydear ex.
claimed over them so that Signor
Angelo said they would have time
to get out and see the pretty
things for awhile. In the shop
windows were all kinds of wonder
full things Of beautiful tor
toise shell and pins and necklaces
of the exquisite coral for which !
Naples is famed.
Ladydear saw pair of kid
gloves that were very beautiful and
found that they sold for a very low
price. She decided she must have .
a pair of them right away, and hur-
ried into the little shop to make
her purchase.
Jack and Jane. who were left
outside with Boob, saw another
store around the corner loaded
with corals, red, pink and white, OF
all sizes, and made into all sorts of
pretty things. They ran to look at
them. The little street into which
they had turned was very, very
narrow, and the buildings on either
side were very high. Suddenly,
two masked men rushed out from
the doorway where they had been
standing, seized the children and
started running very fast with
them. Poor Boob parked and
barked and the children cried and
