SAVED FROM
A TRAP
By EMMA D. TOWNE
Copyrlaht. 1919. by American PrH
Association.
Tb border lli between Ital) ud
Swltterlaud In several place cross
(hoe beautiful hikes of northern Italy
which are the resort of people from
ell over the world. The Italian cus
tom officers are constantly ou the
alert to Intercept smuggler. , '
One evuulng postman was climbing
one of the steep mountain roads that
lead up toward the border line when
he was accosted by utnn with stub
ble beard and small, cunulug eyes.
"Anything for Antolu CaTallerir
he asked of the postman.
The postman took a package of let
ters from his bag and looked over their
superscriptions.
"Nothing for Carallert," be said and
was about to return the letters to the
bag when the man made a grab for
one of them, seised It and ran away
with It. The postman was at a disad
vantage, nis letter bag was so besvj
that be could not bope to catch the
letter thief while it was strapped to
his back, and he dare not lay It down.
He would not risk large number of
letters to recover one. He burled a
stone after the tblef to vent bis Ire
and kept on bis way. lie had not gone
far before be met a young girl com
lug down to meet blin.
"A letter for me today. Luigir'
"Yes; there Is one, I believe."
He looked over the letters, but found
none for the girl. "1 was sure there
was one." he said. Then be stopped
and thought, saying half to himself
and half to ber, "I wonder II that was
the letter the rasca! robbed me ofr
He was looking at bis companion and
saw that abe paled.
"Have you been robbed of letter r
she asked quickly.
Yes."
By a thickset man wltb a abort
beard and eyes like snake's!"
The same. He asked for letter
for Antolne CavatlerL and while I was
looking over the lot made a grab for
one and ran away wltb It But what
Is It. Marler '
"Oh. Lulgi. Glovnnnl and his friends
will be taken! The man who stole the
letter was n customs official. It con
tains the hour uud the place where
.hey are tonight to run some goods
ver the border. This letter was ad
tresseJ to me to deceive the revenue
jffleers. This man has been told that
I a a the medium between the 8wbw
md Italian bands who ure acting to-
sether-Clovannl and his friend col
lecting the goods In Switzerland, an4
turning them over to the Italians, wuo
ruu them across the lake. Giovanni
scut It to me to deliver to Ton!"
But Is there not time to warn
themr
I don't know where either party to
or the trystlng place. That Is given In
the letter. Which way did be gor
"He took the valley road up the
mountain." '
I will go and seek blm myself. He
knows that a girl named Marie Pollnl
Is the go-between for these letters, but
he has never seen me."
An hour later the letter thief was sit
ting under an arbor outside an Italian
Inn drinking a glass of wine and smok
tag a cigarette. Marie, who was ascend;
lng the road, saw him, and, taking a
byroad all roads in that country run
between high stone walla she entered
the inn unseen by a back door. Ebe
knew well the people who lived there;
they were friendly to ber and the
smugglers Indeed, friendly to any one
who is Interested in getting a living
out of the two sources of income open
to impoverished Italians, the govern
ment and Americans, though the flow
of coin is usually to the government,
while it is always from the Americans.
She told them the story and her pur
pose. .Going out to the official, she said,
wltb a smile:
"Did the senore call for more wine?"
"I did not, but If so pretty a maid
will drink it with me I will have a
liter."
The girl brought the wine and mod
estly stood till the man asked ber to
be seated; then, showing her white
teeth in a smile and darting her Ital
ian black eyes at him, she took the
glass of wine he poured for ber and
sipped it. The customs officer drain
ed his own glass and refilled it. '
A knowledge of drugs that will kill
or stupefy has been banded down
Among the Italians since the days o
tlie Borglas. Before bringing the wine
Marie bad slipped a powder Into it,
and the man bad scarcely drunk -when
his eyes grew heavy. Tbey closed, and,
the pretty face of Marie, which now.
wore a smile of triumph, faded before
him. As soon as he became uncon
scious sbe unbuttoned bis coat, took
the letter be bad stolen from the post
man, looked at the superscription and,
seeing that It was for ber, opened and
read it.
Taking up the bottle containing tho
balance of the wine, sbe poured It on
t?e ground, tben, leaving the officer to
sleep off the effect of the drag she
bad given blm started np the moun
tain. It was growing dark when she
came upon a man leaning on a stone
frail, looking or pretending to look
down upoil s water course far below.
As soon as ba saw tbe girl his face
briebtened. i ' . ' - a
"Marie.",, be exclaimed, "wbat has
delayed you?" '. e
"That has delayed me wblcb would
have led to your capture tonight"
And sbe told him what bad happened.
"Ah, Marie," be exclaimed, emtirsc-

On summer's day tb llgbtulug rod
man cant driving aloug on tb Rd
Brtdg road to ba.lt at tb comforta
ble farmbouM of the Widow deaden
ing and say to ber that as business In
bis line waa a little slack owing to tb
scarcity of tbunder and lightning he
would mak her a special rat If she
wanted her barn protected. Tbe wid
ow was a pleasant faced, good narured
woman, and ab pleasautly replied
that when sb felt hr barn needed
protection ah would hoist a clothe
pole to tb roof.
All In a good natured way, you
kuow, and no one's feelings were
hurt. Tbe lightning rod man laugb.nl
and drove on. Ten mile away b
stopped at tbe bouse of Deacon Shaw,
widower. He offered tb deacon a
very low figure on rods, and the dea
con Intimated that tbe whole buslueas
of stopping thunderbolts was a swin
dle and a fraud. Nothing personal
and nothing to hurt. Just a sort of a
joke, you know-a Jok to be return
ed. Two weeks later tb lightning
man was back at tb widow's bouse.
He bad nothing to sty about rods this
time. What he did say was:
"Widow, I'm a man with a heart. 1
not only bar a heart for myself, but
for others. I bar a heart for you.
You are a lonesome, delicate woman.
All widows are. Wber there's no
man around tbe bouse there Is deso
lation. I can't marry you, hut I can
find yob a second husband and war
rant blm true blue."
"Tben bring blm on." replied the
widow, wltb a laugh.
"He's a deacon and a widower. He
has one child. He's worth $0,000 or
t'.OOO. There Is only one drawback,
and tbul I dou't call a drawback at
ill. It's an advantage. He's deaf and
Junib. No dumb husband cut) scold
jud Dud fault. He can't swear at bis
ixeu. He can't yell at his wife from
ipstnlrs or down cellar."
"How did . a dumb man ever get
married?" asked tbe widow, with a
nhow of Interest. .'
"By sign. I can't tell you tbe signs,
but that must have been the way.
That's the way he talks to me."
"But 1 don't want uo deaf and dumb
critter around me."
"But let blm come along and call."
, "Oh. I can't keep him away, but bow
am I going to talk to blm?"
"Sam as he will to you by signs."
I'm not going to mak any wind
mill of myself, and he needn't com.
I do some scolding myself now and
then, and If I bad a husband I wouldn't
want to be swinging my arms around
to let him know that I was mad. You
go and marry blm to soma old maid.",'
That same day the lightning rod
man drove np to tb deacon's again.
Tbe deacon was ready for him, but be
didn't mention rods. Instead be said:
"Deacon, you are a suffering and
lonesome man. All widowers are. Tbe
world would look different to you If
you were married again. I am a mail
with a heart, and I'm going to tell you
of a widow who weep for you that
is. abe waits for you. which la about
tbe same thing. She's fairly band
some, not over forty and has as good
a farm as yours. And to crown It all.
deacon, she's deaf and dumb."
"Who'd .want to marry a deaf and
domb woman?" demanded tbe deacon.
"Best wives In tbe world-best na
tured. hardest working and the most
economical. Don't make no mistake,
deacon. Marrying this woman means
auother-good farm 'for you. Only one
child and tbut a girl big enough to help
do the housework. Make a call at tbe
bouse unyway." - ,
Three days later be decided to call.
He bad been told .that If be ever did
.nil he must talk to the widow In tbe
sign language or ber feelings would be
hurt. .
"Now, then, who In the lands Is
ibntr asked the widow of. herself.
Two minutes later tber. was a rap
ou tbe front door. As sbe opened It
the man stood there with an anxious
look on bis face and pointed Into tb
toom. He wanted to enter. 8b nod
ded. He must be tbe deaf and dumb
widower. She took a cbalr and be
look one. Tben tbey looked at each
other. She smiled and be' smiled. '.
They were doing famously well, and
It was with a bland smile on his pbil
that tbe deacon asked her In the sign
language bow ber corn and potatoes
were coming on. Tbe sign! was too
much for ber. Sbe thought be asked
if xbe ever bad earaebe. and she shook
ber bead. Tbe deacon tried again.
This time sbe thought be was asking
If sbe bad any children, and she nod
ded ber bead and held up one linger.',
"What In Josh docs tbe woman
mean?" exclaimed tbe caller to him
self, without knowing that he was
going to speak.
"Blr, who are you, to come here and
make a fool of me!" shouted tbe wo
man as sbe sprang up wltb angry
eyes.
"And you've made a fool of me,"
was tbe reply.
It was some little time before mat
ters were made clear and tbe blame
placed where It belonged. Then they
begged each othefg jartfon innd fett.
