A Bandit Queen.

Led by a beautiful young Italian
girl, a band of highwaymen is ter
rorizing Salerno province, in south
ern Italy.
The police have full particulars
of the young woman, whose name is
Cecilia Amelia, but they are I'M
able to catch her. She is as daring
as Dick Turpin and her men fol-
lowers are devoted to her.
Cecilia is pleasant girl who be-
came stage struck several years ago.
She left the man to whom she was
engaged to be married in the little
town Of Salvatelle, and eloped with
a rich foreigner, Augustus Peterson,
said to be an American. The two
came to Rome, and Cecilia appeared
at the leading music halls where her
beauty and grace created sensation
Finally Peterson left her, and &C.
celia decided to return and beg the
forgiveness Of her lover.
On the way she was captured by
a bandit named Parish, who took her
to a sumptuously furnished cave in
the mountains where he showered
presents on her, After while she
grew to love him and they were
married.
One day Parish ran into an am
bush and was killed. The rest of
the band escaped and brought the
news to Cecilia. She was grief
stricken and after recovering placed
herself at the head of the band.
That was a few months ago and
since then, the gang has had
greater success than ever before. 1t

gains to the poor of the province.

She was still there at the gate, her
elbows resting upon the crossbar when
a long time after Joe had gone there
came from the alley behind the big
back yard the minor chordings of a
quartet of those dark strollers who
never seem to go to bed, who play by
night and playfully pretend to work by
day:

She heard a step upon the path be-
hind her and, turning, saw a white
wrapped figure coming toward her.
"Mamie?" she called.
"Hush" Mamie lifted a warning
hand. 1.-THE windows are open," she
whispered. "They might hear your!
why haven't you gone to bed?"
"Oh, don't you see?" Mamie answer
ed in deep distress. "I've been sitting
up for you. We oil thought you were
writing letters in your room, but after
papa and mamma had gone to bed l
went in to tell you good night, and
you weren't there nor anywhere else,
SO l knew you must have gone out.
I've been sitting by the front window
waiting to let you in, but went to
sleep until little while ago, when
the telephone bell rang, and he got up
and answered it. He kept talking
long time. 1T was something about the
Tocsin, and I'm afraid there's been a
murder downtown. When he went
back to bed l fell asleep again, and
then those darkies woke me up. How
on earth did you expect to get in?

Fall in Prices Takes on Threateninc.
 Proportions in Late Tradinp


 New York. Jan. 3O-Acute depression developed in the stock market aeain to-day and the fall in prices took on tIlresaetehlng proportions in the late trading. An appearance of slInnort nts roDe . $, given the market early in the dav snS @o'S number of successive rallies were made rom the occasional dec1inee 1lese rallies carried prices more than once ono pack to the, opening high level or aDoVe, But at the higher level the de- mand for stocks fiattened out comn1ete- ", giving warning of the lack of any motlVe power in the market to effect an advance. '' The high opening seemed to be due largely to the influence of the very ia Vorabl equarterly statement of earnings or the United States Steel eorporati0n which was not published until after tbe close of yesterdays market Any ex- pectation of an increase in the dividend rate had been definitely abandoned be- fore the meeting. The opening ad- vance of & in the price of the stock immediately attracted such a pressure of selling orders as effectually demon- strated that eager advantage was taken or the stimulating effect of the report on the demand for the stock to market large holdings. The first price was the highest of the day, and, although the stock showed occasional resistance to the pressure on the general market, the
 
 vance was conclusive in shaping senti- ment on the whole market, The idle condition of the trading at the rallies was apparently allowed to work it's inn pression on sentiment, and the bears collected their forces for renewed at tack on the market. Successful inroads were made at first on a few prominent stocks, notably Pennsylvania, Erie and Reading.
 The yielding tendency of these stocks affected fbn yxrbO1e r1aTl<pt hU bNT and the weakness spread as the domi- nancy of the bear party became obvi- ous The whole market was undermin- ed ultimately and the crumbling of prices wiped out margins, dislodged stop-loss orders and brought stocks on the market in a deluge. There was no special news to account for the break beyond the cumulative influence of the forebodings which are felt of coming industrial and business reaction variety of rumors inevitably found cur rency by reason of the violence of the break.
