I was silent. There was trickery somewhere without a doubt, but where? As the especial line of the debonnair Count Bindo di Ferraris and his ingenious friends was jewellery, I could not help regarding as curious the coincidence that the daughter of the missing man was travelling in secret with me to the Riviera.
He killed my poor friend, and then committed suicide;" and I briefly explained how Whitaker had given me the letter which two hours afterwards had been stolen from me. "The thief was the son of Count di Ferraris' gardener a bad character. Finding that it was addressed to you, he evidently intended to return it unopened, and forgot to do so," Bianchi said. "But may I not read the letter?"
"Oh yes," I replied, determined not to be thought a new hand. "Quite a long time. As you say, he is a very charming man." "He's very wealthy, according to report. I read something about him in the papers the other day a gift of some thousands to the Hospital Fund." This rather surprised me. I never remembered having seen the name of Count Bindo di Ferraris in the papers.
They never met unless absolutely necessary in order to arrange some ingenious piece of trickery, and they could all live weeks at the same hotel without either, by word or sign, betraying previous knowledge of each other.

Tesla brought out his motors, and read his thoughtful paper before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Professor Ferraris, in Europe, published his discovery of principles analogous to those enunciated by Mr. Tesla. There is no doubt, however, that Mr.

The arrests yesterday were very smartly made." "But how do you know the details of the attempt upon me?"
Several months had elapsed since my adventure with "Valentine of the Beautiful Eyes." From Germany Count Bindo di Ferraris had sent me with the car right across Europe to Florence, where, at Nenci's, the builders of motor-bodies, I, in obedience to orders, had it repainted a bright yellow almost the colour of mustard.
Count Bindo di Ferraris, who seemed ever on the move, with an eye open for "a good thing," wrote me from Ilfracombe, Southampton, Manchester, Perth, Aberdeen, and other places, remitting me the necessary money, and urging me to push on the work, as he wanted the car again immediately.
