The old bomb king wrenched him- self still further up in bed. He shook his wrists free. “What Is it to you!" he screamed in a blaze of fury—and fell into a second, and more violent paroxysm of coughing—and now caught at his breast ~with his thin, blue-tipped | fingers, and now in unbridled passion | waved him arms about like disjointed | flails. “Yes—I signed it that—con amore. And it is the old signal! Yes, yes! And Dago George will obey. And he will watch our young friend— watch—watch—watch! And in the end—bah!—in the end our young friend will supply Nicolo Capriano with that hundred thousand dollars. Ha! And in the end we wlill see that our young friend does not become: rroublesome. “He is a pawn—a pawn!” Old Nic- olo’s face, between rage and cough. ing, had grown a mottled purple. “A pawn!

It scemed as though Nicolo Cap-| riano could not get his breath, or at least one adequate enough to vent the access of fury that swept upon him.

It is true that Tony Lomazzi loved her, but, though he was one of you i your criminal work, his love was the love of a brave, honest man.

Nicolo Capriano’s long, slim fingers, from the bed, had sho! out, locked about her waist, &nd ;vere wrenching at her in a madman’'s ury. “You—you would do that!” the old Italian screamed. “By God!

She did not speak. Nicolo Capriano had left his bed for the first time in three years—to die. Her father was dead. That was the theme of the overwhelming horror; and the paralyzing fear that obsessed her brain. It beat upon her In re- morseless waves—horror—fear. Time exist; reality had passed away. She was in some great, sound- less void—soundless, except for that strange ringing in her ears. And she put her hands up to her ears to shut out the sound. Bet it persisted. Tt became clearer. Tt became & tangible thing. It was the doorbell. Habit seemed to impel her. She went automatically to the hall, and. in a numbed sort of consciousness, went along the hall and opened the door, and stared at a short, fat man, who stood there and chewed on the butt of a cigar that dangled from one corner of his mouth. “My name's MacBain" said Bookle Skarvan glibly. *“And T want to see Nicolo Capriano.

She drew back a little, forcing her- seif to shake her head. “Aw, say, §0 on now, there's a good girl!” wheedled Bookie Skarvan. “The paper sent me here, and I've got to see him. There’s nothing for you to look so white about. I'm only a re- porter. I ain't going to hurt him— see”" Teresa shivered. How cold the night was! This man here—what was It he had said? That he wanted to see Nicolo Capriano? Strange that words came with such curious difficulty to her tongue—as though. somehow, she had been dumb all her life. and was Book IV—The Iron Tavern. L The Rendezvous.: The metamorphosis in Dave Hen- derson’s appearance since the night, nine days ago, when he had left San Franclsco and Nicolo Capriano’s house, had been, by necessity, gradual; it had attained its finished state now, as he stepped from a train to one of the sub-level station platforms In the city of New York.

By Radie to The Star. LONDON, October 16.—As we read the week end news one gleam of 1ight struggles for expression through the encircling gloom. The league of nations has just concluded the sec- ond meeting of its assembly and is sbout to hold the third international labor conference. The league may not be all that its fond sponsors intended, but it stands today as the only alternative to an- archy in a Balkanized old world. However, the league can only func- tion effectively when it includes all the great powers. From this point of view there are some hopeful signs. M. Noblemaire Geneva, speaking as a French gov- nment representative and with the apparent concurrence of the Quai D'Orsay, pleaded for a Franco-Ger- man rapprochement and not obscure- 1y hinted at the inclusion next year in the league of nations of the Germans it "i:iy should care to apply for mem- bers! Anu‘:iur welcome indication of a better understanding in the old world is the agreement signed by Messrs Loucher and Rathenau, respectively the French and German ministers of reconstruction, under which Germany undertakes, as part payment of the reparation claims against her, to re- store the devastated French war regions up to some two billions of dollars’ value. .This _is a at im- provement, compared to the method of meeting reparations payments by the dumpfn‘ of German goods into world markets. Freach Attitude Changing. The spirit behind all this, however, is the most encouraging sign. This changing attitude of France is wel- comed here as a departure from 2 policy based on force and fear, which has retarded post-war reconstruction. Truly, wars' evils live after them. The Germans have much to answer for, but, for good or ill, they are in and are & part of the world. ‘We must live with them, but it is In a world as different from that of the first treaty of Versailles as that was from the world of Patrick Henry or of George Washingto! We can no longer have economic liberty in water-tight compartments, but only in interdependence. Goods for goods is the keystone of mutual welfare, except when goods exacted from a country can be applied to some definite purpose outside the ordinary echanism of exchange.

King Constantine says the Greeks intend to annex territory out- side that ceded to them by the: ireaty of Sevres. Friedrich, the Hun- garian, is preparing armed resistance against the provisions of the treaty of Versailles. Zeligouski is still at Vilna despite the adjudication and appeal to the league of nations. The Serbs, Albanians and Greeks are squabbling or fighting, while their quarrels are under consideration by the body of which they are members. The world is, in fact, weakened and tormented by the antics of frothy persons dressed in a little brief au- thority. 1 It seems almost as if, pending re- covery from infantile ailments, the smaller nationalities need keeping in order by the strong arm of an inter- national force wielded on behalf of all the big nations of the earth. The Russian famine continues & source of worriment. The European governments at the Brussels confer- nce on relief have withheld assent to the state credits except on impossible conditions. Regarding this great Rus- | sian tragedy, the names of Herbert Hoover and Fritzhof Nansen will live as symbolic of the great heart of hu- | mianity, free from fear and untinged by temper. Governments lag behind, and it is all the more necessary, therefore, to support the voluntary agencies of these two great men. The Irish conference began hope- fully this week. The representatives met cordially, and the Irish envoys were received with good will by the | London people. These signs augur| well. (Copyright, 1921.)
