Addolorata, Flower of

Taxicab."
MY UEHO
Come, tome, I love you ohlu, my
Heart Is true,
Come, come, mv heart Is lonely, I
long tor you.
Come, come, naught can efface you,
My arms are aching note to cm
brace you,
You are divine,
Come, come, I love you only,
My hero, mine I
This love song was lilting in tho
Italian heart of Addolorata Merclara, of
1315 South 11th street, when sho stood
besldo "her hero," Salvntoro Fasconl, be
fore Maglstrato Carson at Central Station
today and became his bride. The thought
of this tender song shone from the depths
of her black Italian eyes and some of its
haunting melody was In her soft voice as
sho shyly murmured the responses In the
marriage' ceremony.
Salvatore Is tho man who kldnnpped her
In a Uxlcab with all the primal ruthless
Tiess of an Italian bandit. He is the man
who took her by brute forco when, in the
belief that ho was already married, she
bpurnnd hla love. By this kind of love
making he became her hero and captured
her henrt again
It made no difference to Addolorata
that her Salvatore came from a narrow
steel and concrete cell at City Hall to
marry her. He was put In that cell
because In whisking her away from this
city to Chester In nn automobile he had
broken the law. Ho got out because In
breaking the law he had won the love
of Addolorata, and she refused to prose
cute him. So the law had to stand
aside while an arm of the law, Magis
trate Carson, married them.
TWO INTERPRETERS NEEDED.
Two Interpreters were needed for the
ceremony, the drat man being able to
translate but half the conversation of
Salvatore and his bride. When the second
was called in everything went smoothly.
Salvatore wore a toothpick In his mouth
to show he was not nervous.
"Will you obey this man?" asked the
Maslstrate.
Addolorata laughed outright so merrily
that everybody else In the hearing room
Joined In with her.
"All right," she said,
The Magistrate then turned to Salva
tore and asked, "Will you take this
woman as your lawful wife?" Salvatore
