"Saycan you tell us where thete is a goodbank in 'which ; we can put our money,'' asked one of the strangers.

.Gaetano felt flattered because twosuch, well . dressed men came to himfor, advice, upon such an importantmatter. He offered, to show them abank.' On the way to the . bank thewell dressed strangers informed Gae- -tano that they had jyust inherited several thousand dollars from, an unclewho had "died in Italy. They, said theywere afraid of their lives ' to be carrying, around; the. $2,000 they had re-ceived as the first installment of thelegacy.' " ', ,. .; .,

Munno told them they need not beafraid he carried his money in a wallet in the inner:pocket of his coat. '

Upon receiving this information oneof the "strangers' produced a packageand; said, Please carry- - my morieyalso." ujfon saying this he unbutton-ed the coat of tHe unsophisticated Gae-tano and inserted the package inte"theinner pocket where the ,walletr? withMunno's- - savings --was a:isd 'located.
