Gipsy’s Warning

The Sterios Return Dark Looks at Reporter Always listen to the gipsy's ware ing. Had a SUN representative turned i deaf ear to one to-day he might iar« become a patient in the casualty war* at the Auckland Hospital. This morning a family of gipsies the Sterios. arrived from Sydney tv the Niagara. They have no plea in memories of New Zealand. A newspaper representative up preached the dusky spokesman of th party and began to make a few dis creet inquiries. He was not greeted with effusivt smiles. "All right,” said Mr. Sterio, wit I impassive face. “I will tell you every thing when I have been through tht Customs.” The newspaper representative passed on. content to wait. But as he moved down the dec! the gipsy’s warning came like a pur tent of disaster on the breeze cf the morning. “I tell him.” Mr. Sterio was heard to remark to another Mr. Sterio “I’ll knock his head off.” Readers will remember that wher the Sterio family, the whole IT ol them, started a caravan tour of the Dominion they were noi greeted with a fanfare of trumpets or mayoral re ceptions. Recently the Sterios havt been living in Australia, where they have been in the show business. Despite their glares at the news paper men the gipsies are attract ivfc look ng folk. They are all dark, with dusky skins and raven hair. Their fancy is for bright oolnurs and gold ornaments and lots of ear-rings. Apparently the show business has been good in Auslndia. It is rumoured that a small fortune of £2,000 is carried on the beat, with them. The Sterios are bound for Canada this time.
