GIRL BURGLAR CHIEF.

PARIS, Feb. 1 20. Marguerite Bertrand, a red-haired girl of 18, has been arrested by Paris police on a charge of burglary with violence. It is alleged that she is the head of a band of young armed Apaches who have been terrorising the outskirts of Paris. She is known to her comrades as “the Panther of Mouffetard,” from the name of the district which has seen most of the exploits of her gang, all girls and boys. The other day, at the head of five girls and boys, she entered a grocer’s shop and having shut the doors rifled the till while her. companions loaded their pockets with bottles of wine and tins of preserved meat. The shopkeeper was threatened with stabbing if he did not remain silent. Marguerite’s companions in this exploit have also fallen into the hands of the police, and the whole gang will shortly be brought before the Paris* Assize Court.
