AGAINST The dangers Of the road The fact
" bicn has changed all this and produced
a thrill of sensation throughout the eau

mans life is attended with such charms
and delights as to prove attractive TO the
fair and feeble sex ana even irresistible
10 some of its more adventurous members
This might wen seem Incredible were it
not that a favorablv known lady named
Barbara Danelia. who suddenly disap-
reared some ten wears ago from the VII
lage of Banda, in the government of Ku-
tails, has now been identified as the leader
of a band of the most polite gentle and
successful bandits who ever turned the
Cars highway into a no-thoroughfare.
The lady has ] say been ideutihed, but rot
before a law court, for she is still very
much al large, and snaps her fingers at
Cossacks. governments, and police with
The same confidence in her own good luck
which has accompanied her ever since she
took 60 the mountains
Not that the course of her strange love
of adventure has always run smooth
Barbara, who is now 30 years Old, aud pos
sesses very sympathetic face and inquire,
despite her calling has had downs as well
as ups in her curious career, some of
which would keep a contemporary novelist
employed for a twelVe-month -Four or five
tines for instance, the lady was surprised
or betrayed and arrested. But her luck
never left her Once her prison door-it
was a manor house-was opened az night,
II not by an angel of the Lord, at least by
a friend of the lady, whereupon she rose
up and walked away before her accusers
could bring her TO trial. Another time her
jailer set her free, and went with her 10
the mountains, where he is now one of the
most fearless daredevils of her gang The
third time that Barbara found herself in
durance vile nothing happened to help
her, and she was duly sent for trial, Her
jailer would probably have fallen In love
with her had ne known that his sympa-
thetic prisoner belonged TO the female sex
But as Nine. Danehn has invariably worn
the picturesque costume of a male Geor-
gian ever since she took to the hills, the
ianitor of the Jail entertained an angel un-
awares, and cons -cudously looked after
her. The trial, therefore, duly came on,
and owing 10 some curious conflict OF evil
denee Barbara duly got off, whereupon
she returned TO her lawless subjects and
her exciting mode of life.
This curious highwaywoman Is one of
the most artistic riders in a country which
has produced the best human substitute
for centaurs that the world has yet seen.
She will pump ANYTHING She is also an ex-
ce1Ient shot. and can hit the edge OF
Russian silver coin. smaller than our six
pence. with rifle bullet at a distance
