ON HIS third day in Rome, Bob Barlow again experienced the

strange feeling he was being fol­lowed. Turning quickly, he saw the attle dark man in the blue suit walking slowly from the Piazza Venezia in his direction.

"Why don't yon walk up and ask his name?' ' Both suggested.

Bob shook his head. "No, Ruth, I tell you his face is definitely fa­miliar. You know I've got a cam­era eye for fapes. I know I've seen that fellow before."

"Why don't you walk up-to him and ask him his name ?" Ruth Suggested.

T h a t could be dangerous," Bob replied. "What if he's a member of the Mafia or some lug I helped deport ?"

"Don't be silly. The Mafia doesn't follow tourists around in broad daylight."

on toward the quaint, open-air restaurant on the Corso Vittorio Kmanuele where they planned to lunch. I t was a delightful, tree-shaded spot, quiet and restful after their long; morning walk.

Bob scanned the menu. He was beginning to relax. Then he hap­pened to glance up. There a t a table not over thirty feet away was the little dark man sitting alone. For a moment, their eyes met. Bob flushed, looked away. Silently, he gritted his teeth.

"1ought to remember that face," he told himself. He could close his eyes now and see it—the bright eyes gleaniing put from under heavy, tired lids/ the large, almost friendly mouth, and the protrud­ing, low hung ears. I t was disgust­ing to feel he knew the face, but not be able to identify it and fit it into his mental rogue's gallery.

Again he went through the police files mental ly , checking small dark men who h id been de- ' ported, small dark men wanted for . murder, and small dark men he had helped to imprison during his ' long years with the department. But none of the remembered faces —mug shots or pictures on posters of men wanted—checked with that of the little man sipping red wine a t the nearby table.

That afternoon as they were , viewing ancient Roman art objects in a museum, Bob tried to keep the haunting face out of his mind. Yet it continued to tantalize him. , Suddenly, he found that he ab-

sentmindedly had strayed away from Ruth, who had become en­grossed in a gem collection. He circled a massive marble column, and came face to face with the small dark man. Both stopped, eye­ing each other intently. Almost instinctively, Bob's right hand moved toward his shoulder holster, j Then he remembered. He had left his automatic in his room.

The small man spoke first. "Sig-nor Barlow, you no remember me?" His voice seemed friendly.

Bob shook his head. T m not sure," he said.

T m Guiseppi Camponelli." The tittle man's large mouth curved in , a friendly smile^ "I, too, not sure I know you a t first. But today i t come to me. Ytai are the inspector back" home who checks on who sends flowers at gangster's funeral. I airi Guiseppi, the florist." ,

"Sure, I remember you, GuiB-sepi," Bob said. He held out his right' hand, arid slapping the little man on the shoulder he began to laugh fike a 6oiiege alumnus who has^nceunWredahdold fraternity buddy he had not seen for years.

THERE'S ANOTHER huge new generator on the Niagara Mohawk lines, the second within twelve months. With a capacity of 200 million watts, it's big enough to turn out enough electricity to supply all the electric needs of the entire State of Dela­ware*. This addition makes our Huntley Station near Buffalo one of the largest steam-electric plants in the world.

Why steam? Because Upstate, N.Y. has already outgrown aU the hydro-power available. About 70% of all the electricity used Upstate is steam gener­ated and the proportion will get higher, whether the steam is made of coal, as it is now, or by atomic fuel as it probably wilt be some time in the future.

Niagara Mohawk is now spending at the rate of 100 million dollars a year to expand its facilities to assure plenty of power for aU the homes, farms and industries we serve.'

There's a bright future ahead for Upstate, New York. As this arfea grows in population and indus-trial might Niagara Mohawk will, as in the past continue to grow and expand so that there will always be enough electricity to go a r o u n d - s o that the biggest bargain you can buy" will always be

Niagara Mohawk electricity.
