One day a vouug oiuu enter ed the Bhop and, seeing the proprietor working on hia books, said to Iilin lu the Italian lauguuge: "Slguor, I have Just come from Na plea to America to better my condition. I wluh a position." "I cannot afford a clerk. J wish 1 could. I am poor at accounts. They bother me." "1 kept books for one of the largest exporters of oil In Naples, i know ail about bookkeeping." - "That may be, but 1 have told you my business does not admit of an as sistant" "Let me work for you without pay. I have brought over with me a little money on which I can live white 1 ain getting a knowledge of America. 1 will serve you for, say, a year. By that time my money will be all gone, but I can then find a position with a salary." Martclll was much captivated with the proposition. He told the man, who gave his name as Giovanni MIcele. to take bold of his books and straighten them out If be showed that be knew how to do so be would teach him his business, lie told Micete that bis face was familiar to him. but be could uot tell where be had seen blm, to wblcb MIcele- replied that nothing was more likely, filnce they hud both lived hi the same city. MIcele did not know anything about bookkeeping, but be talked very learn edly about Mai teJirs accounts and suc ceeded in confusing the merchant and showing him that bis affairs were lu much better condition than he hud supposed. MIcele became a great fa vorite with his employer, and. with the former's assistance, the buwluess seemed to Improve. It did uot appear that the snles were larger, but some how or other when MIcele took off a statement from the books he always showed an IncreaRcd profit Indeed, so plensed was Martclll that he told bis clerk he might draw $5 a week for salary. But MIcele said that he pre ferred to stick to his contract and would not nccept any pay for his work. Martclll lived In a room In one of the narrow Rtroets of lower New York. When he left his shop after business hours he Invnrlnhly went to this sleep lug apartment alone. Rut one day. after drinking a bottle or two of wine with his clerk, he Invited MIcele tn go home with hi in nnd have a game or cards. MIcele accepted the Invitation Martclll bought some more wine on the way. and during the evening the two finished It. The wine came from California and is much stronger than the wines one gets In Italy. Mnrtelll showed Its effects. When he got up from his seat to get some tolmcco MI cele slipped a little pellet Into his glass. When Martelll returned he was too drunk to notice It lying in the bot tom of his glass, nnd It was soon dis solved. Soon after he had finished his ghiss his eyes began to look heavy, his head Rank down on the table, and be was unconscious. MIcele arose and began to search the room. Producing skeleton keys, be an- I locked everything that was locked and j searched under the bod and In every ; nook and crnnny. Unlocking the closet. , he found an old pair of shoes. Thrust- Ing his hand down into the toe of one. j he withdrew a chamois bag. from which he poured a number of valuable diamonds Into the palm of his hand From tho toe of the other shoe he se cured Roveral papers, which he hastily glanced over and put them In bis pock et Then he turned nnd contemplated for a few moments the senseless fig ure of his victim. Taking up the gtnss from which Mnr telll had drunk, he rinsed and wiped It. then partly tilled It with wine. Ills next act waa to carry Martelll to the bed. take off his outer garments and put the bedclothes over him. Then, putting out the lights, he left blm. In the morning Mnrtelll awoke and looked about blm. Empty bottles and his own half filled glass stood on the table. Ho got off the bed. staggered to the table, took up bis glass, b me lied of It, sipped it and, discovering no taste. seemed relrWJ Oing to the closet be felt In tho toe of one of his shoes. He started. Thrusting his baud into the other shoe, he gave a cry of an guish. Rushing to the door, he tried to open it, but found it locked. He was looking for so we other avenue of exit wheu htt hAv footsteps without the door was v,tvl. ind Micele. backed by two pollceinaa, ?tood in the opening. "Good morning, Slgnor Katonl," he snid. "I shall have to trouble yxk to make a sea voyage wilh me to ow be loved Naples. Signers Martelll mlsw.-d some valuable diamonds, and at the same time her butler disappeared. He was traced to Not? Yjrk. and I was deputed to come over wl bring blm back. The government, img interest ed in a murder case of vnVh he l suspected, chose me. a mcml. if the national polUo. to do the work." "I have been a fooi. I knew t had seen you before. Now I remember you j as you appeared in uniform." said Mar- I tflH. t "It h.ts been worth my while to come 1 so far. since I have recovered the treas- j ire yon possessed yourself of wheu you i murdered the traveler you waylaid ou j tta road to Sorrento." j A pair of bracelets were slipped on j the captive, and he was taken to ship j that sailed the sam day tor Naples.

June 22, 1012 It in but the statement of simple fact to say thaOhe corset buyer whojhas the opportunity to buy GOSSARD CORSETS and does not take full advantagi) of the splendid offerings for Fall, fails in the duty to employer and public which that buyer desires to serve. It should be remembeaed that all merchants are not privileged to buy GOSSARD CORSETS, which further emphasizes the responsi bility of those entrusted with their distribution. Figure imperfections which have developed only recently by wear ing corsets of injudicious selection have been accurately anticipated and provided for with that unerring decision and nicety of execution for which the Gossard organization is so eminently qualified. Those who sell GOSSARD CORSETS this coming Fall will be months in advance of competition. The samples tell the whole story. The W. H. Gossard Company, Chicago. III.
