THE VENGEANCE OF OUTLAWS
Band of Desperadoes Wipe Out Every
Member Of Large Family
But One.

Milan.--A band of outlaws has
melted out a dreadful vengeance on
well-to-do Sicilian family named Gala
gero, who, lived at Favara, near Paler-
mo.
Several months ago the brigands
suspected the family of acting as spies
for the police and plotting to have
them captured while entertaining them
to dinner. The outlaws accordingly
sent Signor Calagero a black-edged
missiye warning him that the whole
family would be wiped out before the
fall of the leaves.
On June the father, mother and
two elder sons were found to have
been murdered while asleep and the
two younger sons and their sister Flor
enza were thereupon taken away by
friends to Castrofillippo, in the hope Of
averting further tragedy. 1t was in
vain, for few nights ago the brigands
waylaid and shot all three.
The only surviving member of the
family is a married brother, with two
children, living in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Safest Place for Jewels.

A few years ago one often heard
that women who possessed jewels of
value were becoming afraid to wear
them owing to the risks which ac-
companied displaying their property
in public 1t became the custom to
seek some place of security where the
more precious possessions could be
deposited. Jewels were banked" or
committed to the protection Of safes
and strong rooms. But gradually the
sense of security has in some degree
departed. The modern woman has no
capacity for matching the resourceful
ingenuity of the modern thief. The
most astounding cases OF jewel rob-
berry show that no precaution is be-
yond being intelligently anticipated.
After all, it is not surprising that those
who possess jewels of value are begin
ming to realize again that their safest
place is that for which. they were in
tended and are wearing them more
than ever

She was talking fine" Inspector

Quite simply Mrs Hanska began

And now Rosalie LIE Grange, who
had been sitting in unaccustomed si-
lence, spoke for the first time.

said with an asperity so well assumed
that Martin MCGEE wondered for
moment whether she was really offend

Ewes Costume for Women.

The Sandwich Island costume for
street wear for women in Chicago is
advocated by Alexander A McCor-
mick, president of the county board,
who believes that the entire aboli-
ton of clothes would greatly better
the morals of the community. "Tmag-
ination and curiosity" he says, "ac-
count for much vicious thought.
Clothes are designed to excite the
imagination, rather than to subdue It..
If clothes were abolished there would
be no such stimulus to the magma
ton. Morals could not be much
worse, so almost anything in the way
of dress changes would have to work
an Improvement. Muddy street cross
ings and bathing beaches are exciters
of the imagination. Much better than
the gaping crowds would be absolute
nudity everywhere"

rhe chief.

Inspector Martin. MCGEE, the middle
aged solid executive of the New York
detectives, sat in his businesslike Of
Gee running over the reports on the
Hanska murder, now less than a cal
endar day old but already the subject
OF those innumerable extras which the
Gcwsbeys were shouting under his
windows. Nothing in the formal doc
uments before him served TO give him
any new light. Lawrence Wade-that
looked like the man. Wade was miss
sng from the Curfew Club when the
police arrived; however through the
good memories of a taxicab driver and
a ticket seller, he had been traced to
Boston and there arrested in the very
act Of engaging European passage.
The formal documents in the Han
ska case interested Inspector MCGEE
less, a great deal less, than an infor-
NAL verbal report made that morning
by the sergeant in command of the
reserves.

an order from you telling US to keep

Greek School at Alistrat, Burned by
the BuIgarians.

From "a Sad Page in Balkan History"
Published at Athens
Balkan government can no longer
possess the rights they formerly en-
ioyed. 1t is therefore natural that
they should, all alike, without distinc-
ton of race or religion, desire auto
nomy under Ottoman sovereignty.
This defines the present duty of the
Ottoman state, viz, to go forward re-
lying on her military strength and es-
tablish Macedonian autonomy. The
Greeks have no right to remain in
Kavala, or in Salonika, the capital Of
the new principally. The Ottoman
army should advance beyond Salonika,
to Elassona, and enter Thessaly, and
cancel the claims Of the Greeks to
the islands also. This erection of
Macedonia into an autonomous prin-
cipality would serve the interests Of
Roumania and Of the great powers of
Europe. and make possible q real bal
ance of power in the Balkans, and
stop the present deadly rivalry.

CHAPTER III.
Mrs. Hanska's Story.

The first was tall and big. But her
height was mainly the superb carriage
of her shoulders, her size but the ripe
roundness of goddess figure. She
was dark: she was young; she was
beautiful. Resale lie Grange, connois-
seur of her sex, sat regarding her
spellbound.
The second woman--in fact she was
little more than girl-was slender,
blonde and fragile-her quality was
elfin. Resale could spare her but a
glance.
81 an Mrs. Hanska, widow of the
man who was killed last night" said
the taller woman; and she hesitated.
1t was not the custom of Inspector
Martin MCGEE to rise when women
entered his office in the role of the
accused, or of witnesses. A little bru-
tality of attitude, he felt, put them in
meek and humble mood for the sub
sequent Third Degree proceedings.
But this woman-or was it the re-
spected presence of Rosalie lie
Grange?--drew him to his feet.
Wont you sit DOWN." he said.
Thank you. May / introduce Miss
Elizabeth Lane? She is here to verify
what | have to say" All this with
perfect simplicity. Her eyes Travelled
then. with a quick glance OF inquiry,
to Rosalie LIE Grange.
"This," said the Inspector, taking
his cue at a quick prod from Rosalie's
FOOT, SIS Mrs. lie Grange. She is the
lady who came into the house right
after the-accident-and took the
boarders over to her place for the
night. She's kept them there ever
since. She was just telling me what
she knew Maybe you'd like to hear
it,"
II should like very much to hear 1t,
said Mrs Hanska earnestly.
but maybe you want to be alone
lust at first" interposed Rosalie, max
ing a pretense of rising.
"No-there is nothing secret" re-
piled Mrs Hanska. II see no reason
why you should not stay. Indeed, you
may be able TO help us"
Now Martin MCGEE summoned the
police stenographer and ordered him
to stay within call. Gone from him
was the heavy humor of his half-hour
with Resale. He was the Chief-sus-
picious and brutal.
Il must warn you,' he SAID, tnat
if you are implicated in this case, any
thing you say will be used against
you at the trial" Generally that sud
den statement made women tremble,
drew from them a food of words out
of which Niece picked the f1otsam
and the jetsam of evidence. But Mrs.
Hanska did not give the preliminary
frightened start. She only transferred
her limpid level gaze from Resale $
face to Inspector McGee's.
"It would be impossible to 1mpll-
cate me-" Dozens of people can testify
that I was in Arden, hundred miles
north. last night-that I have not left
Arden for more than a month. Per
haps," she continued, checking an I'M
formed sentence on the lips OF In
spector MCGEE, Il had better start at
the beginning and tell you all about
