Copyright, 1S0. by American l'res Asso ciation.) A man cnlllug himself Giovanni walked Into an Italian restaurant in New York and. addressing (lie proprie tor, Antonio Mauclul, asked for em ploymeut as a waiter. Being told that the force of waiters was complete, bo said that he would work for uotbing uutll a vacaucy occurred. Soon after Giovannis employment the custom of the establishment drop ped off, and the proprietor. Instead of filling waiters vacancies, began 10 uis- ctanrge those he had. He told Gio vanni that there was no hope for blm to secure pay and he was welcome to leave as soon as he lilted. 10 tnis Giovanni replied that he was making living from the tips he receiveu ami this was far better than notblug. But the utteudance nt the restaurant ; continued to decrease. Manclnl, wno was on excellent cook, went hlmseir into the kitchen and even Invented new dishes with the most delectable flavorings, hoping to retrain the cli entele he had lost. But It was or no avail, nis old customers did not come back to him. and new ones were not to be attracted, ne wns paying a high rental, and his expenses in other re spects were enormous. One day he called his few remalulng employees to bis office and said to them: "1 am expecting the sheriff to levy on what remains here. Until recently I was making money. Indeed, 1 pos sessed $20,000. 1 was about to sell out my business and return to our beloved Italy to spend a comfortuble old nge. Instead of that I am a beggar In a foreign land. Go and secure new Dlaces. As for me, 1 know not what to do." All expressed sorrow for their em ployer and went away, except Glo Tnnnl. He stood alone with Manclnl after the others bad departed. "Why do you remain V" asked the restaurateur. "To tell you the cause of your mis fortune." There was something In the man's eye and the tone In which the words were spoken that arrested his employ er's earnest attention. He looked at Giovanni for an explanation. "You wonder, signor," said the lat ter, "why I. to whom you have uever paid a cent, have stood by you to the last." "I do." "I am not only a countryman of yours, but I came from the same dis trict as you, the lake region of Italy." "Oh!" "I was a smuggler engaged in run ning dutiable goods n cross Lake Como to a region where It was eifty to dispose of them. You know that the lake is patrolled by the customs offi cers and there is great risk in car rying goods across. Indeed, It Is prac tically Impossible to do so without de tection. Well, I divided my prollts with tbem, and tbey took enre not to see me. In this way I gained enough to pay for a farm nud was about to purchase one. marry the girl 1 loved and turn farmer when a misfortune occurred to me. A customs ofllcer 1 had been bribing made It bis business to see me while smuggling. I was ar rested and Imprisoned." Manclnl sat spellbound by the story, every momeut growing paler. Gio vanni kept his eye fixed on him In tently. "While in Jail," he resumed, "I was put Into a cell with an old smuggler. He was 111, and 1 nursed blm. Dying, he made me his heir. Where do you suppose his fortune was deposited?" "Go on." "You remember the point formed by the Junction of Lakes Como and Lec- cor "I was born on it." "There, across the lake, one can see Monte Crocione and on a crag near by the little church of San Martino." "I was married there." groaned Manciui. "And not far from San Martino Is a hole in the rock. From across the lake It looks only large enough to con tain a big bowlder. It would hold a church." "I have been In It." "The fortune 1 inherited was there The smuggler bad turned all his prof Its into diamonds and bidden them In the cave. 1 brought them to America in the shape of bills of exchange." "And have lost your lnherltancer "No; 1 have every cent of it. And why have 1, a rich man. been working here without pay? To ruin the cus toms officer who betrayed me and who married my betrothed. 1 have caused the falling off of your business by cir culating false stories of what food you have served to your guesU." "You you have done this?" "I have." "You have taken a terrible revenge. But you are rich, nud 1 will have dam ges under the law." "On what evidence?" MancinI was silent. "Besides, where is my fortune? No one knows. We Italians, especially we who have been smugglers and rev enue officers, know bow to cover our tracks."
