BEATRICE cENcJ,


i deress or Martyr.
One Of the most interesting events
OF Roman medieval times was the
trial and execution Of Beatrice Cenci
for the part she played in the mur-
der of her father, francesca Cenci.
which took place in his palace on
the night OF Sept. 10, 1898, the day
before his tiftieth birthday.
70 every one the birth, ancestry
ana fate of Beatrice Cenci have had
weird charm. BY many this beau
tliul and unfortunate Italian girl is !
regarded as deliberate murderess
while others regard her as martyr.
Ihls sentiment is aroused by the ro-
mantle story of the girls life and
death, as told by Shelley in his great
tragedy. Few persons in history
have had greater glamour of ro-
nance cast over their lives than she.
BY her own confession it is known
that Beatrice Cenci was accessory to
the murder Of her father. 1t is fur
ther known that she and her broth.
ers were the instigators of it, but il
was Beatrice especially who ar
ranged the murder with her lover.
Ollmplo Calvitti, and her stepmoth-
er, Lucreiia. The whole life of Bea- 4
trice in the palace, Rocca di Petrel-
la, had been one of extreme unhap-
plness and cruel treatment. She and |
the other children were the victims >
OF the fathers ungovernable and !
furious nature and most brutal tyr
amy. There were proofs at her y
1eath to show that she had suffered
many beatings with certain whip

Die tiagellant.
Resentment rose to revenge in the
leart of Beatrice Cenci, inspiring
Ter to commit the heinous crime. Z,
md she determined, with the aid of
Ter stepmother, Lucretia, and her :
over, Calvitti, to carry out her ter V
lble purpose. She it was who gave \
'alvitti and his accomplice the
Teapons with which to strike the
leeping man, afterward going to
ear window to watch the scene, as
ne said she would. The assassin
hen threw the body of Cenci from
ne window to the terrace below to
lake it appear that he had fallen
1t is true that Cenci
as the yilest of wretches, but no
mount of sentiment can palliate
le part taken in the tragedy by his
lildren.
All Rome was excited over the v
'ent and the subsequent arrest of
ose accused of the crime. After a
'tient examination the pope finally
'cided upon the extreme penalty of
Q law on Beatrice, Lucretia and
acomo, the eldest brother, who !

gnats. and flies and gnats usually delight
in warm strata of air. AS warm air is
lighter and mostier than cold air, the
warm strata of air runs higher, but when
the warm and moist air is close to the
ground, it is almost certain that. as the
cold air flows down into 1t, water will
fall.
AS an indication of the approach of wet
weather, nothing is more certain than a
halo around the moon, which is produced
by the precipitated water; and the larger
the circle the nearer the clouds, and. con-
sequently, the more ready to fall. A cop
perry or yellow sunset also foretells rain.
Observation teaches that when the sea
gulls assemble on land stormy and rainy
weather is approaching. The little petrol
enjoys the heaviest gale, because, living
partly on the smaller sea insects, he is
sure to find his food in the spray of heavy
waves. The fish on which they prey in
fine weather at sea leave the surface and
go down deeper during the storm. The
different tribes of wading birds always
migrate when rain is about to take place.
Upon the same principle the vulture fol-
lows armies.

But the few moments that would be re-

would fill that quiet house with the first

claimed it for his own. The frantic

She seemed to see their terrified faces.
She seemed to hear the roar Of the all
devouring flames, and through 1t the
mingled shrieks and prayers Of the
flames victims ringing in her agonized
ears.
And then, higher and clearer-obe-
dience- e-compelling-she heard the Voice
of Her Soul
She crossed the room with the swift
ness of thought and lifted the blazing
lamp in her two white and slender
hands. The brass burner and neck
band were red hot. The cone was full
of angry fire. The oil was dripping
through her fingers. Should 1t explode,
then her whole fair young body would
be enveloped in blistering, charring
blaze. The beauty which was hers in
life would be unima ginable htdeousness
in death. And the hall door was so far
so horribly far-awayi
She dared not run, lest the rush Of
air might fan the flame higher, or send
it down into the heated stratum Of gas
above the oil in the bomb-ltke globe.
She could only walk steadily forward
and pray.
Thank God! the door had been left
ajar.
She put the toe of her tiny slipper in
the opening and pushed 1t back with
all her strength. The heavy door swung
on it's massive hinges. A rush Of night
air struck coldly on her face.
The lamp fared high with an omi-
nous. gasping splutter. And then, with
all the force of her numbed arms, she
flung it from her, to crash into thou
sand fragments amid a shower of blaz-
ing oil drops, on the graveled drive be-
low.
An instant later she was at her
mothers side, and with trembling,
frantic fingers was tearing at the mur-
derous framework which held them
apart. Once, twice she strove in vain
to start the pOnderOus weights, and
downward.
The sonora was not dead, although
she seemed so when her daughter first
clasped her arms about her, and 1t was
many days before she fully recovered
from the shock and suffering Of her
dangerous experience.
She is proud of her brave girl, how
ever. and does not hesitate to say so.
But as for Aurora OndOvilla herself,
she will say nothing about the matter,
except that she did the best she
could"
I think she was a true heroine.
