A Dealer In
Foreign Fruits
By LU1GI CONTA
In lower New York there I a tgii
"P. Martelll, Dealer In Foreign Fruit
and Oil.' 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.

He started. Thrusting his baud into

to open it, but found it locked. He

"Good morning, Slgnor Katonl," he

some valuable diamonds, and at the
same time her butler disappeared. He

ll. urliidil from Dry (iumli Kcononilnt. 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.
