That is why he is at home in all parts of Sicily; that is why he uses men like Narcone when he chooses." "It would please me to capture the wretch," said Martel. "Let's try it," Norvin suggested, and accordingly a trap was laid. Four carabinieri were sent to the appointed place, ahead of time, with directions to conceal themselves, and Ferara carried out his part of the programme.
You'll be stealing children next, like any Mafioso." Donnelly grinned. "That's where I got the idea. This same Narcone is mixed up in the Domenchino case. The kid has been gone nearly a month, now, but the father won't help us. He made a roar at the start, but they evidently got to him and now he declares that the boy must have strayed away to the river-front and been drowned.
"It is not from Narcone," Ricardo pronounced, positively they had called in the overseer for the discussion "he is grossolano. He can neither read nor write. This letter is well spelled and well written." "Then you think it is really from Cardi?" Ricardo shrugged his square shoulders. "Who knows? Some say there is no such person, others declare he went to America years ago."
Gian Narcone has fled; that much I know." "Indeed?" "Yes! The pursuit became hot; we did not rest! I do not see, even yet, how we failed to capture him. We apprehended a number whom we know were in the band, although we have no evidence connecting them with that particular outrage.
When after an interval of several minutes he felt that he had himself sufficiently in hand to talk without danger of self-betrayal, he seated himself and inquired: "What do you wish to know about the Count of Martinello and Narcone the bandit?" "I want to know all there is," said Donnelly. "Perhaps we can get at it quicker if you will tell me what you know.
"I tell you I don't know. But I can guess pretty closely. It was one of the Pallozzo gang. This Narcone he calls himself Vito Sabella, by the way is a leader of the Quatrones. The two factions have been at war lately and some member of the Pallozzo outfit has turned him up." The light died out of Norvin's face, his body relaxed.
He could feel Narcone staring at him now, as he sat nodding to the senseless patter of the Chief in a sort of breathless, terrifying suspense. Would his own face recall to the fellow's mind that night in the forest of Terranova and set his fears aflame?
"They will take you back to Sicily, to Colonel Neri and his carbineers, and you will hang. Before it is too late, tell me, where is Belisario Cardi?" Narcone moistened his livid lips and glared malignantly at his inquisitors. But he could not be prevailed upon to speak.
A moment later they were in Corte's stateroom, panting, grim, triumphant, with their prisoner's back against the wall and their work done. Now that Narcone realized the deception that had been practised upon him he began to curse his betrayer with incredible violence and fluency. As yet he had no idea whither he was being taken, nor for which of his many crimes he had been apprehended.
A square figure came swiftly through the group, muttering angrily, and the others fell back to give him room, all but Narcone, who repeated, doggedly: "Let me finish the work if you fear to do so." His companions broke out at him again in a babble of argument, whereupon the new-comer shouted at them in a furious voice: "Silenzio! Who did this?"
