He recalled that Rosa Minetti had returned to her cabin to attend to her baby. A sudden vision came to him of Jessie in that little home. Rosa was sweet and good, and assuredly Little Jerry was a "winner." "Sweetheart," he said, "I wish you'd come for a walk with me." "But it's raining, Hal!" "It won't hurt you to spoil one dress; you have plenty." "I'm not thinking of that " "I wish you'd come."
Suvaroff looked at him intently, and said, quite simply: "What a bitter truth you are, my friend!" Minetti stared at Suvaroff, and he rose. "Perhaps I shall see you at your puppet show some evening," he said. And, without waiting for a reply, he left the room. Suvaroff lay again all night upon his bed staring in a mute agony at the ceiling.
There are no numbers on the doors, but it will be impossible for you to mistake his room. All day and night he sits playing an accordion." Flavio Minetti took a cigarette from his pocket. "Remember, my young friend, I gave you fair warning." "I shall not forget," replied Suvaroff. Suvaroff climbed back to his room. He sat upon his bed holding his head in his hands.
The labour men must realise that I must make them!" The old Scotchman answered that Minetti had felt the same way. He had flung caution to the winds, and rushed over to the hotel to see Hartman and Moylan. Hal decided to follow, and went out to the automobile. He explained matters to his brother, whose comment was, Of course! It was what he had foretold.
Minetti shrugged and left. In about an hour Suvaroff rose and went out. He found a squalid wine-shop in the quarter just below the Barbary Coast. He went in and sat alone at a table. The floors had not been freshly sanded for weeks; a dank mildew covered the green wall-paper. He called for brandy, and a fat, greasy-haired man placed a bottle of villainous stuff before him.
The Minetti family had fared as had the others, neither better nor worse, and though one corner of the wall of the modest home had been torn away in an explosion, the statue of the Virgin remained as if to protect from further harm.
I was washing his socks when " "Yes, yes!" interrupted the hunchback, advancing into the room. "You are a poor old woman! Let me give you some money in all charity." He threw gold into her lap. She began to tremble. Suvaroff saw her hands greedily close over the coins, and the sight sickened him. "Why did you come?" Suvaroff demanded of Minetti. "Go away! You are not wanted here!"
It was when Hal went to pay another call upon the Rafferties that he made this discovery. Mary Burke happened to be there, and when she caught sight of him, her grey eyes beamed with mischief. "How do ye do, Mr. Minetti?" she cried. "How do ye do, Miss Rosetti?" he countered. "You lika da spagett?" "You no lika da spagett?"
Andrea rapped on the window he could not wait to knock and be admitted, neither did he dare to leave his watch for even a fraction of a second. "Who is it?" the window was cautiously opened. "It is I, Andrea Minetti, number 7788 has just come in with a message from the front." With that he thrust the metal cylinder into the officer's hand.
But Jerry Minetti, the first person he told of Tom Olson's purpose in North Valley, was older in such thrills. The care-free look which Jerry was accustomed to wear vanished abruptly, and fear came into his eyes. "I know it come some day," he exclaimed "trouble for me and Rosa!" "How do you mean?" "We get into it get in sure. I say Rosa, 'Call yourself Socialist what good that do? No help any.
