sigh. “and no doubt ho’s bettor o!T.”
No answer was mado to this ro
mark. Noithor Raul Morton nor
Robert seemed inclined to sneak.
The former was brought fuee to faco
with the consequonue of his crime.
Tho Inttor was lillod with the first
desolation of grief. Throe days
. later tho funeral took place. l’aul
Morton took caro that everything
should bo in strict accordance with
tho wealth and position of the do
ceased. Ho strove to sutlsfy his
troublesome conscience by paying
V the utmost respect to tho man for
whoso death he had conspired.
Owing to the long absence of Ralph
Kj Raymond from tho country there
>-wore not very many who remember
ed him, but Paul Morton invitod his
owu friends and acquaintances liber
ally, and the invitation was accepted
by a large number as thoro aro ol
, ways those who havo some morbid
'toolings and appear to enjoy appear
ing at a funeral. Tho rooms wero
T. draped In black. Tho door boll was
1 mu fled in crape, and tho prosenco of
jy death In the house was ostentatious
ly made known to all who passed.
if>- Among these there was James Crora
well, who for some reason, nearly
.every evening, after his hours
| Of labor were over, came up to take
•• # look at the housos in Twenty*
ninth street, which appeared to havo
• great attraction for him. When
f he saw tho qrapo ho managed to
learn through a servant the precise
hour of the funeral, and applied to
his employer for loave of absence on
that dav,
“ft will be inconvenient,” said his
employer..
••I must go," said tho olerk, “I
wish to attend a funeral.”
-y Supposing that it must bo tho fu
neral of a relation, or at least, a
friond, the employer made no iur
, ther objection. As tho timo. of tho
service approached, James Cromwell
attired himself in his best, and m>vte
i. hla way to the house. His entraWSo
- was unnoticed among the rest, for
y: thoro was a large number present.
I'f Ho got into an out-of-the-way corner,
. and listened attentively to the sol
If emu service for the dead, as per
y formed by one of tbe most eminent
clergymen In the city. Among the
rest his eye rested on Paul Morton,
who sat with his face buried "in his
handkerchief. At length Paul looked
f rom-be hind ’ the handkerbhie f, and
his eye roved over- the company.
Suddenly be turned livid. His eye
met that of a thin young man, with
light hair, inlan out-of-the-way cor
ner, and he remembered at once un
x1 der what circumstances they had met
before., • ,_
. CHAPTER VII.
Paul Morton Has a Visitor.
Paul. Morton’s^ consternation can
hardly, bql described, whop, in tho
number who had oome to witness
the funeral ceremonies of Ralph Ray
mond. ho recognized tho shopman in
the obsouve , druggist’s shop whore
he had purchased the poison. The
•weat stood out upon his brow, and
he eagerly questioned himself—how
much did this man know,or what did
. he suspect, or was his presence pure
ly accidental r * 1
But he could hardly believe that a
.man in suoh a position would attend
the funeral, unless he had some ob
ject in view. How bad he found out
Ills name and residence? Was it pos
' aib'.e that he had been tracked? He
looked furtively at the young man,
now grown an ob:ect of strange and
- dreud interest to him. He noted his
insignificant features, and tne gen
j. eral meanness of his appearance, and
*'•' he began to pluok up courage. -
••Suppose hp does suspect any
thing, ” he thought; “will his testl
, mnny be bolieved against mine? A
miserable druggist’s clerk, probably
nm a starvation salary. At the worst
4 can buy him off for a small sum."
Feassured by these thoughts, he
... recovered his boldness, and in look
ing about him, did not hesitate to
meet the gaze of James Cromwell,
without suffering a trace of the first
.agitation to be seen. But that first
Agitation had been observed at the
time by the.druggist's clerk,- and he
had drawn his own Conclusions from :

Tho company who wore assembler,
loft tho house, and with them Jumes
Cromwell. Ho wept back { to his
room, not feeling that it was or Im
portance to remain heigor. He had
shown himself at the funeral, ho bad
boon recoermzoJ, and thus ho had
paved tho way for the,. Interview
which he meant to have, and that
vory shortly. Two evenings later,
ho approached tho house in Twenty
ninth street, and ascending th<^
stops, boldly rang the boll. Tho
servant who answered the summons,
looked at him inquiringly, suppos
ing from his appearance that ho had
merely como to bring some message.
••Is Mr. Mortou at home?”
“Yeti, ho is at home.”
"I would liko to see him.”
“Ho doesn’t bee visitors, on ac
count of a death in tho family. I
will carry your mossage.”
“I must soo him,” insisted the
clork. boldly.
“1 don't think ho will soo you.”
‘•I do. So go and tell him I am
hero.”
••What name shall I carry to him?”
“The name Is of no consequence.
You ean toll him that the young man
whom ho noticed at the funeral is
horo, and wishos to soo him on vory
Important business.”
"Thut’s a queer message,” thought
the servant, hut concluded that it
was some one who hud something to
do with furnishing something for the
funeral, and wils anvlnas to .r,»t iu
P»v
Mr. Morton was sitting: in his
library, or a room furnished with
hooks, which went by that name,
when tho servant entered.
“Thoro is somebody to see you,
sir." sho said.
“Who is it?”
“I don’t know his name."
“is it a gentleman?"
“No, sir."
••Did you toll him I was not receiv
ing visitors now?"
••Yet, sir.”
“Well?”
"Ho said ho wanted to see you on
vor.v important business.”
“Why didn't he give his name?"
"Ilo said that I was to tell you it
was the young man you noticed at
the funeral,” said tho servant.
Mr. Morton turned pale, but at
once recovered himself.
“I am not sure that I know who it
is," ho said, “but I can easily ascer
tain.^ You may bring him up.”
“You are to come up,” said the
girl, reappearing.
James Cromwell smiled in con
scious triumph.
“1 thought so.” ho said to himself.
••Well, now for my game. It will bo
a difficult one, but I will do my best.”
Loft aiono, Paul Morton began to
considor how ho should treat tho
now-coraor. Ilo resolved to aflfeet
no recognition at first and after
wards indl.Terenee. Ho thought ho
might bo able to overawo the young
man, from hi3 own superiority in
social position, and so prevent his
carrying out tho purposes ho pro
posed. Accordingly, when Jumes
Cromwoll ontorod tho room he arched
his brows a little, and looked in
quiringly at him.
“Have you business with mor" ho
said, abruptly. “Did not my servant
inform you that, on account of a re
cent death, 1 am not receiving callers
at present. ?”
“I thought you would see mo,”
said the young man. with a mixture
of familiarity and boldness.
"if you havo no business with mo,
I am at a loss to know why you have
intruded yourself upon me at such a
time. Perhaps, however, you were
unaware of my recent affiiction.”
“I am quite aware of it, Mr. Mor
ton. In fact, I was presont at the
funeral, if you refer to the death of
Mr. Raymond, and unless I am
greatly mistaken, you yourself ob
served mo there."
“You wore present at the funeral!
What brought you hore?"
“That seems rather an inhospitable
question. For some reasons of my
own, I felt an interest in what was
going on in this house, and made it
my business to become accualnted
with all that passed. Whon'l heard
of Mr. Raymond's death, I resolved
at once to attend the funeral.”
“1 suppose you must have known
Mr. Faymond, then,” said Paul Mor
ton, with something of a sneer.
“No, I had not the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with the gen
tleman," said James Cromwell, who,
far from being overawed by the evi
dent haughty -tone of the other, pre
served his composure with admirable
success.
“Was Mr. Raymond rich?” he
asked nonchalantly.
“You impertinent scoundrel! be
gone instantly, or I will summon my
servants and have you kicked down
my front steps'”
“That might not be altogether
prudont, Mr. Morton,” said James
Cromwell.
“Might not be prudent! What do
you meun by your cursed impu
dence?” demanded the merchant,
glaring furiously at the druggist’s
clerk. *
“What do I mean?" repeated
James Cromwell. “Do you wish me
to answer your question?”
“I demand that you answer my
question, and that immediately,”
said the merchant, hardly knowing
what he did. so carried away was he 1
by his unreasonable anger. i
“Very well. I will do so,” said the
clerk, quietly; “but, as it may take
a brief time, will you not be kind |
enough to resume your seat?” j
CHAPTER-VIII.
James Cromwell's Triumph.
The coolness displayed by James
Cromwell had its eflteot upon the |
merchant. Mechanically* he obeyed,
and resumed his seat • !
••Sav what you have to say, and be '
done with it,” he muttered.. !
“It may be necessary for me to re
mind you that 1 am employed in a
druggist’s shop on tho Bowery.”
••I hope you like your situation,”
said Paul Morton with a sneer.
"No, I don’t liku it, and that is
the reason why I have come to you.
hoping that you will help me to
something bettor.”
This was sukl with quiot self
possossion, and Paul Morton began
to reull/o with umiasiness that this
young man, whom ho had looked
upon with contempt, was not so
easily to be overawed or managed as
ho had expoctod.
‘•This is a cool request, consider
ing that you are a comparative
stranger to me.’'
“Tlivn,” said James Cromwell,
leaning slightly forward, and look
ing intently at Mr. Morton, "may I
ask to wliut uso you have put tho
subtle poison which you purchased
of mo ton days since?"
Tho color rushed to Paul Morton’s
fuce at this direct interrogation.
"Tho poison?” ho repeated.
"Yos, you cortainly have not for
gotten tho purchase.”
••1 think you must bo mistaken in
the person.”
“l’ardon me, I am not."
"Suppose that I did buy poison,
how should you Idontify me with the
purchaser, und how came you to
know whore I lived?”
"I sent a boy to follow you home,”
entn f'pnmtroll
••You dared to do that?”
‘•Why not? We have no curiosity
about our croinary customers, but
when a person makes such a pur
chase as you did, wo feel inclined to
learn all wo can about him. ’’
“A praiseworthy precaution! Well,
I admit that I did buy the poison.
What then?"
“I asked to what purpose you had
put it?”
“Very well, I have no objection to
tell you. although 1 deny your right
to intrude in my private affairs,
which I regard as a piece of gross
impertinence. I bought it, as I
think I stated to you at the time, at
the request and for the use of a friend.
“Would you tell me the fr'iond’s
name?” asked the clerk imperturba
bly.
“Ho livo3 in Thirty-seventh
street.”
“What is his narao?”
“None of your business.’’exclaimed
the merchant passionately.
“I beg your pardon, but I was
blamed by my employer for non tak
ing down the name of the purchaser,
and I told him in return that I would
gather full particulars.”
‘•You may tell him it is all right.
He must have heard of me and of my
firm, and that will satisfy him.”
“But the name of this gentleman
in Thirty-seventh stroet—”
• Is not necessary to the purpose."
“Has thero been a death in his
family within ten days?” asked the
clerk in quiet tones, but there was a
significance in them that sent a
thrill through the frame of the lis
tener.
“What makes you ask that?” he
stammered.
“I will toll you,” said James Crom
well boldly.throwing off his reserve.
“It is as well to be frank, and there
is no use in mincing matters. I do
not beliove this story of the man in
Thirty-Seventh stroet. I think you
bought tho article for your own use.
Since the purchase there has been a
death in your house.”
“Your inference is ridiculous,”
said the merchant nervously. “My
intimato and dear friend, Mr. Ray
mond, was sick of an incurable dis
ease.as the physician will testify.and
it could have terminated in no other
way.”
“I am quite willing to believe you
are right,” said the clerk. Still, un
der the circumstances, you will not
object to an investigation. I feel it
my duty to inform a coroner of the
facts in the case, and if on. examina
tion no traces of the action of poison
can be found in the deceased, of
course you are entirely exonerated
from suspicion."
[TO BE CONTINUED.}
Counter Irritation.
One of the popular English authors
of the day was wholly incapacitated
from work by a lady who lived next
door and strummed through Han
del’s “Mossiah.” His idea of the in
violability of an Englishman’s house
did not allow him to send in any
messago, and he was at his wits’ end
until he saw in a daily paper that
steam-whistles could be bought to
fit on kettle-spouts. He provided
himself with one, and put the kettle
on the fire in the room nearest the
singer. As soon as the whistle be
gan he went out. Of course the
bottom came off the kettle, but it
cost little to solder it on agaiu, and
after two or three solderings the
lady took the hint—Argonaut

Tommy Hardnut—Will my brother
go to heaven, too?
Sunday School Teacher—Yes; it he
is good.
Tommy—Well, if I’m there I’ll bet
you he’ll go out quicker than he
came in there.
Teacher—I wouldn’t let that worry
mo, Thomas. You will probably be
somewhere else. —Texas Siftings.
The Central American Ape.
On an island off the Mosquito
coast, Nicaragua, Central America,
there is a species of ape very closely
resembling the African gorilla, both
in size and in its sunny disposition.
How it came there is only a matter
of conjecture—for it departs unduly
from the characteristics of the
American monkey tribe.
The Silk Industry In Crete.
Measures are being taken by the
authorities of Crete to revive the
silk industry of the island, which
was once flourishing, but which has
boen dwindling for some years owing
to the use of bad seed. A good sup*
ply is to be furnished free.
THECAMORRA IN ITALY.
CUSTOMS OP A TERRIBLE
BLACKMAILING SOCIETY.
All Classes Fay Tribute to the rowerful
Organization Which Defies the Gov
ernment—Chief Clcclo's Remarkable
Career of Crime.
As an organized secrot society the
Camorra was doubtless introduced
into Southern Italy at the time of the
Spanish domination. Little by little
the institution crept into the nation
al life, and to-day, in spite of the
repeated knocks that it ha-i had on
the head from a determined govern
ment since the unification of Italy, it
is still so powerful that even its
namo causes a shudder.
There are all grades of Camor
rists, from the olegant signore who
cheats at cards in parlors or clubs,
or who blackmails families whose
skeleton in tho closet he has dis
covered, and who imposes his medi
ation in business matters in order
to get some profit out of tho affair,
down to the lower strata.
The Camorrist of ths lower classes
works on servants of all classes—the
cook in her kitchen, the butler, the
coachman and the gardeners. Of
course, he reaps a rich harvest from
all gambling houses, lottery estab
lishments, and from usurers, who
have to pay him a regular foe.
The Camorra of the lower classes
threatens with his knife.or his razor,
or his revolver. The Camorra of tho
upper class threatens with the
sword, or the knife, or some hired
assassin.
The youth who has entered the
Camorra remains for some years al
most the slave of tho chief Camor
rist of the section in which ho lives.
Incidents are very common in the
Southern Italian cities of the im
prisonment of a young Camorrist for
a crime which is known to have been
committed by an older one.
Toward 30. if ho has good luck, the
novico, having passed through the
various grades, is admitted to the
rank of Camorra proprietor, or be
comes a partner in tho co-operative
■enterprise of theft, murder and
blackmail.
The Camorrists have their special
cafes, their hotels, their houses into
which no others penetrate, and
where they live in luxury.
The punishments for offensos
against the Camorra are terribly se
vere. Treason, spying, the stealing
of the society’s money, the unau
thorized murder of a member of the
society in quarrel or for jealousy
are all punishod by death. Less
grave offenses, like rebellion, are
punished by fines, or sometimes by
exclusion from the society, or with
beatings which often break the
limbs or disfigure tho features of the
culprit, or—and here is a very cu
rious detail of Italian life—with the
“Sfregia” This is a slashing blow
with a koen-bladed razor in the face,
and is the most common form of
vengeance exercised by the agents
of the Camorra in the lower ranks of
society.
There have boon many celebrated
Camorrists whose relations have ex
tended even to the highest circles of
nobility, says the New York Jour
nal. The famous Ciccio, a Neapol
itan type, whoso many exploits have
been legendary for a quarter of a
century, exercised an almost royal
power.
Many amusing incidents of his
magnanimity are given. On one oc
casion a professor of- music in Na
ples came home to find that his
splendid grand piano had been car
ried off. Evidently the Camorra was
the only society big enough to un
dertake such an extensive theft as
this in broad daylight, bo the poor
professor went to Ciccio and submit
ted his case to him, explaining that
he could not gain his livelihood
without his piano, and humbly ex
pressed the hopo that the Camorra
would not ruin him.
"Go home,” said Ciccio, "and your
piano will bo in its usual place very
soon, although I haven’t tho slight
est idea where it is now.”
in a few hours Ciccio had sum
moned all tho Camorrists of Naples
before him, and given orders for tho
restoration of the piano. He was at
once obeyed, and the delighted pro
fessor went to him with a fine gold
watch as a present. Ciccio flew into
a rage, and literally kicked him out
of the place.
Ciccio was quite a magnificent
prince of blackmail. On great oc
casions, festivals and holidays, he
used to parade in a carriage lined
with satin and gold lace, drawn by
three magnificent black horses, har
nessed in the Russian fashion, with
yellow leather trappings, plated with
thick silver.
uruve ms spiencim team
himself, and saluted right and left
almost as if he were a roydl per
sonage^ About three-fourths of the
people of Naples daily felt his power
more than they felt that of the
reigning monarch.
A person who accompauied Ciccio
one day to a great festival remarked
that ail the carriages on the road
allowed him to pass them, and all
the women crowded to the windows
of the houses to admire the mag
nificent Ciccioi
Little by little, however, the power
of Ciccio began to decline. His al
most regal sway had aroused many
rivals, and the authorities took ad
vantage of this to worry the sig
norino, as the populace called him.
lint a little later he was arrested
for some one of his innumerable
crimes, and was sent into foroed ex
ile in a little island of the Sicilian
coast It was said that when he
went to the steamer between two
carabineers, chained to each of
them, a vast concourse of people on
the docks and in little boats is the^
harbor saw him off with as tnaujr
honors as if ho had. boon a I isiting
prince instead of ft blackmailer of a
distinguished reputation.
No sooner had Ciccio reached the
island whore he was to pass a cer
tain time a virtual prisoner than he
had a quarrel with some ambitious
Camorrists who had been sent there
before him, not, perhaps, without a
secret hope on the part of the gov
ernment that they would kill the
famous Ciccio. One of them came up
to the great man, and, to annoy him.
familiarly offered him a cigar. Cic
cio boxed the fellow's ears, bringing
the blood to his nostrils, and said to
him that he did not allow inferiors
to offer him anything.
The Camorrist called a dozen of his
comrades to his aid, and they rushed
upon Ciccio, but they did not know
their man. The hardy hero of a
thousand armed encounters in the
streets of Naples, the great chief of
blackmail, armed himself with a
huge piece of wood, backed against
the wall and laid the whole party
out in about five minutes. The num
ber of broken heads and arms and
disfigured faces was great. Ciccio
was master in the island as long as
he remained there.
This celebrated Ciccio diod about
two years ago at the age of 52 of an
epileptio attack, and not a single
journal in Italy spoke of him in terms
otherwise than extreme politeness.
BEFORE THE CRUSADERS.
The ImmcDse Trade Carried on BetweeL
Europe and Asia.
Tho trade and manufactures ol
the Christian realm in Palestine
were regulated. Moslem caravans
were protected by treaty and mer
chants of Mosul were established in
Acre. The imposts on every kind of
merchandise wore fixed and custom
houses and toll-bars were established
along the roads or at the city gates.
There was also an excellent law,
says a writer in the Edinburgh
Review, that none might carry arms
in the streets, which must have pre
vented many violent outbreaks.
in tho bazaars of Aleppo and
Damascus were to be found the
carpets of Bagdad and Persia, with
glass from Irak, and Chinese por
celain, ivory and perfumes, sandal
wood-musk and aloos, olives and
spices, silks, velvets, satins, cloth,
including camlets of camel-hair
curtain from Syria, and cotton. Many
precious eggs were sold, such as
opium and rhubarb, tamarind, can
thaiides, cardamons, scammony and
senna.
A great trade with Northern Rus
sia, having its port at the mouth of
the Don, brought from the “land of
darkness" rich furs of ermine, the
Siberian squirrel, the red and white
fox, the marten, beaver, otter and
wildcat. The Latins were very fond
of fur for dress and for the “mantle"
of scarlet, fur-lined, in which they
slept The furriers had a street
in Jerusalem, and the Moslems, also,
especially in the north, were equally
accustomed to the use of precious
furs.
The trading stations of the Jews,
the Genoese and the Venetians ex
tended far into Turkestan, north of
Oxus, and at Aden, the Arab traders
of the Red sea met in Chinese junks
and brought the wealth of India and
of tho far East to the Italian markets
in Alexandria. Moslem laws al
lowed the pilgrim to Mecca to trade
on his journey.
