They saw three men emerging in rapid succession from the front yard of one of the prettiest houses, hatless, shoe- less, and coatless. The house belongs to Mr. Antonio Dalmolin, and its number is 423 East Eighty-third street. Mr. Dalmolin is a wealthy Italian, and a member of the well- known firm of William C. Peet &Co.

Empty bottles were strewn around the table, the carpet was stained with wine dregs, and several of the chairs were broken. He then led the way to the wine-collar, “They must have had a duplicate key,” said Dalmolin, mournfully, as he entered. ** Confound the rascals; they ‘were not satisfied with good claret, or even Moscata, Spamante, or my choice cham- pagnes, Madeiras, or sherries, but they took almost all my San Columbiano at $10 2 bot- tle.” Dalmolin had for ten years been mak- ing a collection, and kis San Columbiano was only brought out oh very rare occasions.
