FEATURES. THE BLACK HAND _ BY ARTHUR B. REEVE. One of The Star's Week-End Fiction Series. Complete in Three Installments. EDY and T had been din. ing rather late one evenin, at Luigi's, a little Italian res- taurant on the lower West Side. We had known the place well in our student days, and had made a point of visiting it once a month in order to keep in practice in the fine art of gracefully handling long shreds of spaghetti. Therefore, we did not think it strange when the proprietor himself stopped a moment at our table to greet us. Glancing furtively around at the other diners,” mostly Italians, he suddenly leaned over and whispered to Kennedy: “I have heard of your wonderful detective work, professor. Could you give a little advice in the case of a friend of mine “Surely, Luigi. asked Craig, leaning back chair. Lui What is the case’ in the glanced around again appre- hensively and lowered his voice. Not so loud, sir. When you pay Your check go out, walk around Washington Square, and come in at the private entrance. Il be waiting in the hall. My friend is dining pri vately upstairs.” w lingered a while over our chi- . then quietly paid the check and rted. 2 ; rue to his word, Luigi was wait- fng for us in the dark hall. With a motion that indicated silence, he Jed us up the stairs to the second floor and quickly opened a door into what seemed to be a fair-sized pri- vate dining room. A man was pacing the floor nervously. AS the door opened 1 thought he started as if in fear, and I am sure his dark face blanched if only for an instant. Imagine our sarprise at seeing Glennaro, the great tenor. with whom merely to have a speaking acquaintance was to argue one's self famous. g “Oh, it s you, Luigi.” he exclaimed in perfect English, rich and mellow. “And who are these gentlemen?” Luigi merely replied, “Friends.” in English also, and then dropped off . into a voluble, low-toned explanation in Italian. 1 could see as we waited that the same idea had flashed over Ken- nedy's mind as over my own. It was now three or four days since the papers had reported the strange kid- naping of Gennaro's five-year-old daughter Adelina, his bnly child, and the sending of a demand for ten thou- sand dollars’ ransome, signed, as usual, with the mystic Black Hand—a name to conjure with in blackmail and ex- tortion. As_Signor Gennaro advanced to- ward us, after his short talk with Luigi, almost before the introductions re over, Kennedy anticipated him by saying: *I understand, signor, be- fore you ask me. I have read all about it in the papers. You want some one to help you catch the crim- inals who are holding your little 0. N exclaimed Gennaro ex- citedly. “Not that. I want to get my daughter first. After that. catch them if you can—yes, I should like to have some one do it. But read this first and tell me what yéu think of it How should 1 act to get my little Adelina back without harming a_hair of her head?” The famous singer drew from a capacious pocketbook a dirty. crumpled letter, scrawled on cheap paper. Kennedy translated it quickly. It read: “‘Honorable Sir: Your daughter is in safe hands. But, by the saints, if You give this letter to the police, as Yyou did the other, not only she but Your family. also some one near to You. will suffer. We will not fail as e did Wednesday. If you want your daughter back go vourself alone and without telling a soul to Enrico Al- bano's Saturday night at the twelfth hour. You must provide vourself with the $10,000 in bills hidden in Saturday's 11 Progresso Italiano. In the back room you will see a man sitting alone at a table. He will have a red flower on his coat. You are to say, ‘A fine opera is “I Pagliaccl.” 1f hs answers, ‘Not without Gennaro,’ Jay the newspaper down on the table. He will pick it up, leaving his own, the Bolletino. On the third page You will find written the place where your daughter has been left waiting for you. Go immediately and get her. But, by the God, if you have so much as the shadow of the police near Enrico's your daughter will be sent to you in a box that night. Do not fear to come. We pledge our word to deal fairly if you deal fairly. This is a last warning. Lest you shall forget we will show one other sign of our power tomorrow. LA MANO NERA. The end of this ominous letter was gruesomely decorated with a_ skull and cross-bones, a rough drawing of a danger thrust through a bleeding heart, a coffin, and, under all, a huge black hand. There was no doubt about the type of letter that it was. It was such as have of late years be- come increasingly common in all our Jarge cities, baffing the best detec- tives. “You have not showed this to the police, 1 presume?” asked Kernedy. vaturally not.” ? G Are you going Saturday night? 1 am afraid to go and afrzid to stay away,” was the reply, and the voice of the $50,000-a-season tenor was as human as that of & $5-a-week father, for at bottom all men, high or Jow, are one. “*We will not fail as we did Wed- nesday.’ " re-read Craig. “What does Shat mean?’ Gennaro fumbled in his pocketbook again and at last drew forth a type- written letter bearing the letter head of the Leslie Laboratories, Incorporated. “After I received the first threat,” explained Gennaro. “my wife and I went from our apartments at the ho- 1ol to her father's, the banker Cesare, vou know, who lives on Fifth avenue. 1 gave the letter to the Italian squad of the police. The next morning my father-in: 's butler noticed some- thing peculiar about the milk. He barely touched some of it to his tongue and he has been violently ill ever since. I at once sent the milk 1o the laboratory of my friend, Dr. Leslie, to have it analyzed. This let- ter shows what the household es- caped.” i “My dear Gennaro,” read Kennedy, #the milk submitted to us for exami- mation on the 10th inst. has been care- fully analyzed, and 1 beg to hand you herewith the resuit: “Specific gravity, 1.036 at 15 de- grees Cent. ‘Water .84.60 per cent Fat . 3.42 per cent Ricin . 1.19 per cent “Ricin is a_new and little known poison derived from the shell of the castor-oil bean.

It surpasses strychnine, prus- sic acld and other commonly known drugs. I congratulaté you and yours on escaping and shall of course re- spect your wishes absolutely regard- ing keeping secret this attempt on your life. Believe me, very sincerely yours, C. W. LESLIE.™ As Kennedy handed the letter back he remarked significantly: 1 can see very readily why you don’t care to have the police figure in your case. 1t has got quite beyond ordinary po- lice methods.” “And tomorrow, too, they are go- ing to_ give another sign of their power.” groaned Gennaro, sinking into the chair before his untasted food. “You say you have left your ho- E"'. inquired Kennedy. “Yes.

So I have come | here secretly to Luigi, my old_ friend Luigi, who ‘is preparing food for us, and in a few minutes one of Cesare’s automobiles will be here, and I will take the food up to her—sparing no expense or trouble. She is heart- broken. It will kill her, Prof. Kennedy, {‘l anything happens to our little Ade- ina. “Ah, sir, T am not poor myself. A month’s salarly at the opera house, that is what they ask of me. Gladly would I give it, ten thousand dol- lars—all, if they asked it, of my con- tract with Herr Schleppencour, the director. But the police—bah!—they are all for catching the villains. What good will it do me if they catch them and my little Adelina is returned to me dead? It is all very well for the Anglo-Saxon to talk of ljusucz and the law, but I am—what you call {t?—an emotional Latin. I want my little daughter—and at any cost. Catch the villains afterward— yes. I will pay double then to catch them so that they cannot blackmail me again. Only first I want my daughter back.” “And your father-in-law?” “My father-in-law, he has been among_vou long enough to be one of you. He has fought them. He has put up a sign in his banking house, 0 money paid on threats’ But I jsay it is foolish. 1 do not know America as well as he, but I know this: The police nevér succeed—the ransom is paid without their knowl- edge, and they very often take the credit. I say, pay first, then I will swear a righteous vendetta—L will bring the dogs to justice with the money yet on them. Only show me how, show me ho “First of all,” replied Kennedy, “I want you to answer one question, truthfully, without reservation, as to a friend. I am your friend, believe me. Is there any person, a relative or acquaintance of yourself or yeur wife or your father-in-law, whom you even have reason to suspuect of being capable of extorting money from you in this way? I needn’t say that that is the experience of the district attorney’'s office in the large majority of cases of this so- called Black Hand.” “No,” replied the tenor without hesitation. “I know that, and I have thought about it. No, I can think of no one. I know you Americans often speak of the Black Hand as a myth coined originally by a news- paper writer. But, Prof. Kennedy, to me it is no myth. What if the real Black Hand is any gang of criminals who choose to use that con- venient name to extort money. Is it the less real? My daughter is gone:" “Exactly,” agreed Kennedy. “It is not a theory that confronts you. It is a hard, cold fact. I understand that perfectly. What is the address of this Albano's?" Luigi mentioned a number on Mul- berry street and Kennedy made a note of it. “It is & gambling saloon,” explained Luigi. “Albano is a Neapolitan, & Camorrista, one of my countrymen of whom I am thoroughly ashamed, Prof. Kennedy. “Do you think this Albano had anything to dc with the letter?"” Luigi shrugged his shoulders. Just then a big limousine was heard outside. Luigi picked up a huge hammer that was placed in a corner of the room and, followed closely by Signor Gennaro, hurried down to it. As the tenor left us he grasped our hands in each of his. “I have an idea in my mind,” said Craig simply. “I will try to think it out in detail tonight. Where can I find you tomorrow? “Come to me at the opera house in the afternoon. or if you want me sooner, at Mr. Cesare's residence. Good night, and a thousand thanks to you, Prof. Kennedy, and to you also, Mr. Jameson. I trust you ab- solutely because Luigl! trusts you.” We sat in the little dining room until we heard the door of the limou- sine bang shut and the car shoot off with the rattle of the changing gears. “One more question, Luigi” said Craig as the door opened again. *T have never been on that block in Mulberry street where this Albano's is. Do you happen to know any of the shopkeepers on it or near it?” have a cousin whohas a drug store on the corner below Albano's, on the same side of the street.” “Good! Do you think he would let me use his store for a few minutes Saturday night—of course, without any risk to himself?” “I think I could arrange it."” “Very well. Then, tomorrow, say at 9 in the morning, I will stop here, and we will all go over to see him. Good-night, Luigi, and many thanks for thinking of me in con- nection with this case. I've enjoyed Signor Gennaro's singing _ often enough at the opera to want to ren- tder him this service, and I'm only too glad to be able to be of service to all honest Italians; that s, if I succeed in carrying out a plan I have in mind.” A little before nine the following day Kennedy and I dropped into Luigi's again. Kennedy was carrving a suit case which he had taken over from his laboratory to our rooms the nigat be- fore. Luigi was waiting for us, and ‘without losing a minute we sallied forth. By means of the tortuous twists of streets in old Greenwich village we came out at last on Bleeker street and began walking east amid the burly-bur- ly of races of lower New York. We had not quite reached Mulberry street ‘when our attention was attracted by a large crowd on one of the busy corners held back by a cordon of police who were endeavoring to keep the people moving with that burly good nature which the six-footed Irish policeman displays toward -the five-foot burden bearers of southern and eastern Eu- rope who throng New York. Apparently, we saw, as we edged up into the front of the crowd, phere was a building whose whole front had liter- ally been torn off and wrecked. The thick plate-glass of the windows was smashed to a mass of greenish splint- ers on tae sidewalk, while the win- dows of the upper floors and for several houses down the black in either street ‘were llkew.se broken. Some thick iron bars which had formerly protected the window were now bent and twisted. A ‘huge hole yawned in the floor inside the doorway, and peering in we-could see the desks and chairs a tangled mass of kindling. “What's the matter. 1 inquired of an officer near me, displaying my re- porter’s fire-line badge, more for its moral effect than in the hope of getting any real information in these days of enforced silence toward the press. "?hd( Hand bomb,” was the laconic reply. “Whew!" T whistled. “Any one hurt?" hey don’t usually kill any one, do they?” asked the officer by way of reply to test my acquaintance with such things. s “No,” I admitted. “They destroy more property than lives. But did they get any one this time? This must have been a thoroughly overloaded bomb, I should judge by the look of things.” “Come pretty close to it. The bank hadn’t any more than opened when, bang! went this gas-pipe-and-dyn: mite thing. Crowd collected before the smoke had fairly cleared. Man who owns the bank was hurt, but not badly. Now, come, beat it down to headquarters if you want to find out any more. Youll find it printed on the pink slips—the ‘squeal book’'—by this time. 'Gainst the rules for me to talk,” he added with a good-natured grin; then to the crowd: *G" , NOW. You're blockin’ traffic. Keep movin.'” I turned to Craig and Luigi. Their eyes were riveted on the big gilt sign, half broken and all askew, overhead. It read: * Ciro Di Cesare & Co., Bankers New York, Genoa, Naples, Rome, Palermo “This is the reminder so that Gen- ?m ll'ld! his f:ihlr—ln-hw wl‘ll not. forget,” 1 gasp 3 “Yes,” added Craig, pulling us away, “and Cesare himself is wound- ed, too.

Merriam was huddled in a big carved chair; the studio looked rather cheerless to the homesigk little wife. She shivered a bit.

She BY LAURA When Your Preserve and Pickle| Supply Runs Low. ! At this season of the year many | housekeepers find their preserve and pickle supply running alarmingly low. | There are few fresh vegetables and | fruits with which to replenish the | supply, so cans must be resorted to in a measure. Try the following recipes: Prune-Lemon Marmalade.—Wash one pound of prunes and turn them into an agate saucepan with three cups of boiling water, the juice of two lem- ons, the rind of one lemon cut very small, twelve whole cloves and one- half ounce of white ginger root (white ginger root costs about 5 cents an ounce, so either buy one- half ounce of this or buy the full ounce and use half the supply). Let this mixture boil for one hour, when the prunes will be fairly soft.” Then turn it into a bowl to cool. When cold, stone the prunes with clean fingers, pick out the ginger root and the cloves, and put the prune mixture back into the granite saucepan with one cup of granulated sugar and one- half cup of boiling water; let it sim- mer on a slow fire for one hour, stir- ring often to keep from catching to bottom, and turn Into clean, empty Jjelly glasses or preserve jars to store in the ice chest for immediate use. This recipe will fill about five jelly glasses. In cutting up the lemon rind and pulp, be sure to get in all the thick white part which lles un- der the yellow rind, as this white part contains the pectin which makes the marmalade thicken. Beet Relish.—Either canned or fresh- boiled and skinned beets may Chop ten small beets Iy be used. (there should be about two cupfuls of the cooked, chopped beets) and add to this one-half cup of vinegar, four rides Will Be Brides By Lucille Van Slyke. didn’t like such immediate friendli- ness. “Merriam isn't going with us,” Cecily called. “She’s backed out and old Glidden had to go back to Balti- more this afternoon, so if you want to call the party off, why, Il let Sous The youth stalked into the room and peered up the stairway. “I say, Cissie!” he shouted. “Stick your head out while T ask you some- thing important. Was that honest- to-goodness stuff about this cousin of yours having scads of red, curly hair and temper? She's pretty stingy with herself down here, has a hideous lid glambed down tight to her noble row. Merriam laughed. For his impudence was mitigated by a delightful sing- ing quality in his volice. “If her halr isn’t red"—his tone grew plaintive—“the party is off- 's red,” Merriam admitted. “I was born in Missouri,” he assured | her, gravely. He reached up to snap on the side lights under the balcony. He limped toward her and, without 80 much as by your leave, snatched her hat away. “Mon Dieu!” he cried. “I'l tell the world it's red!” He blew a kiss to- ward the balcony. “I say, up there! The party is not off!” He walked sol- emnly around Merriam’s chair, eyeing her critically. “But throw down thal orange and brown batik of your he called, “and some rouge and an eyebrow pencil—and your brown whole-clove beads——" “Truly, I'm not going,” Merriam in- sisted. “And I wouldn't want to wear Cissie's crazy duds.” “I don't know how we're going to do it without vermouth,” he contin- ued, dreamily. paying no attention to what she was saying. “I've just re- membered I used the last vermouth in the world last night. But I think there's gin and oranges—hurry up with that batik, Cissie.” Twenty minutes later, his game knee propped on a chair, he leaned close to Merry's face to arch her eyebrows to his taste. Merriam'’s heart beat quicker. “Run over and get a sloppy tam, Ceclly, that's a dear,” he commanded. “Gee, you look somehow—-" he stood back to view his handiwork. He picked up the cocktail shaker. They were all three in his very bare workshop _across the hall from Cecily’s. “The gal is some gal—" he shook the drink vigorously. “Let's get in a bus and go down to Mallory’s, eh? Mallory will just hate us for stopping him, but I want him to see this hair.” “I—truly, I'm not going.” Merriam's tones were low. Ceclly gave a shrug. “Then what did you let Kirk put all those trimmings on you for?" she asked. coolly. A little bundle of contradictions, Merriam stared at her cousin. “Just for spite, I guess,” she mur- mured. “And I've changed my mind again—I am going!” (Another episode of this story In tomorrew’s Star.) EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING KIRKMAN. tablesspoons of grated horseradish (the bottled variety may be used), four | tablespoons of lemon juice (that is, the juice of one lemon—about the same thing) and six heaping table- spoons of powdered sugar. Boil this mixture in a -granite saucepan for twenty minutes, then cool and keep in the Tefrigerator for immediate use. Grapefruit Marmalade.—Four grape- fruit, " six oranges, six lemons and sugar. Cook the grapefruit whole, in water to cover them; put the or- anges, also uncut, into another pot with water to cover. When both the grapefruit and oranges are soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork, remove from range and let stand overnight in the water in which they were cooked. In the morning cut the grapefruit in halves, scoop out the pulp and press it through a colander to remove the seeds and tough core. Save the juice. Shred the rinds with a sharp knife. Cut the oranges in slices, saving the juice of these also, and turn this prepared orange with the prepared grapefruit into a porcelain-lined or agate-ware kettle and add two quarts of cold water. Measure this mixture in the kettle and then measure out one and one-half its own quantity of sugar. Heat the fruit mixture in the kettle, then add to it the measured sugar after heating this sugar a few minutes in a mild oven. Cook gently until very thick and pour into hot glasses which have just been boiled ten minutes In clear water. Let stand till cold, then seal with melted parafin. (This recipe answers an anony- mous reader’s request.) Cabbage Pickle—Ta one quart of chopped raw cabbage add one pint of cooked and chopped beets, one cup of grated horseradish, one cup of sugar, four teaspoons of salt and a dash of pepper. Add vinegar to cover and let stand till cabbage is pickled to suit taste (this may be several dlg,fl‘. then begin to use it on the table.

BEAUTY CHATS Lines Around the Mouth. There is a period in every woman's life when she finds that the first sign of being tired is the appearance of a little wrinkle down one side of her mouth. If she is lucky she will be well in her thirties before this happens; if she is not lucky she may be in her early twenties, and then the tragedy is greater. As soon as she ceases to be tired the line disappears and she thinks no more abcut it. The sad part is that the line appears more gnd more often, and then eventually a second line ap- pears to match it on the other alde of her mouth. They are the mere sha- dows of wrinkles, but they are wrin- kles, nevertheless, and eventually they are there for good, even when the ‘woman is feeling well. Then she begins making frantic ef- forts with the cold cream jar and face packs. These are effective, too, for a while, but the little line will come to stay no matter what the woman does. That is old age, and if you will it is a tragedy, but the period of your life at which these wrinkles come to stay depends to a great extent upon yourself.

If the complexion is bropeprly cared for and the circulation of the blood carefully stimulated these little mouth wrinkles can be kept away for a long time. When you are tired and the muscles of the face are lax, a massage with cold cream, a hot bath, then either a cold rinse or an astringent over the face will make them disappear as though by magic. A more permanent way s to blow with the mouth as though blowing out a candle. Pansy.—Very few women have their faces enameled any more, as it show: that it is artificial, therefore ridicu- Jous. Improve your skin by keeping it clear through good health, exercise and sufficient bathing.
