\HERE lived in medieval times
in Florence. Italy. Il nObleman,
one Of the COnda family. who


fell under the di>pleasure of
Lorenzo de- Medici and was obliged
to fly for his life. He found his way
to the island Of Sicily and took up his
abode OH the foothills below Mount
Etna. where he was joined by his wife
and children.
Those were trOublOus times, and the
dividing line between making a living
honestly and by plumber was not so
well marked as now. Giuseppe Con
da. having been Il man of action. nat
urally fell to Icvying tribute from
travellers for Il living. He passed years
supporting his family in this way and
was at last shot by the police and
killed. leaving q daughter twenty years
old to. care for several younger chill
drcn.
Blanca Conda. havin" been brought
UP without Il knowledge Of any way
of maxim" Il livelihood than that adopt
cd by her father. saw No other way to
support the little ones intrusted to
her care than by turning brigand.
Adopting mans attire. she would go
out to some spot favorable for ambus-
cade on IL thoroughfare and lie in
wait for some luckless traveller, order
him to leave his valuables on a rock.
and when he had done so she would
permit him to pass on.
But Blanca had a very sweet, wo-
manly voice which she could not dis
Guise. Indeed. she did not attempt
to do so. She would say in her own
natural tones: "Signor, I have you V
cred with my carbine. Place what
valuables you have with you on that
rock beside the road and proceed on
your way. If you refuse l shall kill
you"
Some submitted through fear, but a
number were Influenced rather by be-
sweet voice. Perhaps there were per-
c n robbed who were we'll armed and
would have resisted had it not been
for this consideration. At any rate,
Blanca did not have to hurt any one.
But so averSe was she to her calling
that whenever she took in valuables
from a traveller she never robbed an
Otner I'LL the plunuer was all gone.
Blanca was pitied by the people who
dwelt in her section Of the island, and
the story of her method of supporting
her brothers and sister spread abroad
The young Count Tarantola. Il Floren-
tine who was visiting Sicily, heard of
her while sojourning at Palermo. He
knew Of her connections in his native
city and had heard of the treatment
her father had received at the hands
of Lorenzo de- Medici. He resolved to
make the ascent of Mount Etna and
on the way attempt to secure an inter
! view with the woman bandit.
He purposely travelled alone on a
road on which he was told that Blanca
levied tribute. He heard that the night

lone, On suspicion OF being one OF the
men who figured in the kidnapping or
little Johnnie Viyiano, three-y ear-old

when police sent out tip that they
were hot on the trail, and that the boy
had better be returned within two
hours OF the warning Meanwhile.
though, according to Chief or Detec-
tiyes Palmer, Niyiano had taken the
