through Palestine to Cairo and up the
Nile to Luxor and Thebes. Next to

company he was retained by consent or
force.
Among the forced retainers was a
handsome young English artist, to
whom Mary straightaway lost her
heart. The young man quarreled with
a pirate, and when the ship anchored
at the island they went ashore, as was
the custom, to fight it out The wo-
mans heart was torn with disquiet, so
great was her fear that her sweetheart
would not be equal to his foes skill.
Not for worlds would she have him re-
fuse the challenge and be branded q
coward. Fearing more for his life than
her own, she picked a quarrel with the
pirate and, naming the time of meeting
two hours before that set for her lovers
duel, she fought the pirate with sword
and killed him on the spot.
Her Conviction
Then the two united their fortunes.
At the famous trial, where her husband
was acquitted and she condemned to
death, Mary Read refused to give his
name and declared that he was an hon
est man. She was convicted on the
evidence of Capt. Rackam.
Thinking Mary Read was a man,
Capt. Rackam testified he once asked
/ her aboard ship what pleasure she
could find in such piratical enterprises,
when she knew her Life was in con-
| tinuous danger by fire and sword, ever
sure of meeting ignominious death.
"As to hanging" Mary Read replied.
ut is no great hardship. Were it not
| for hanging every cowardly fellow
would turn pirate and so infest seas
that men of age must starve." eff put
to pirates" said Mary, they would not
have punishment less than death, the
fear of which alone keeps some bastard
ly rogues honest. Many men are now
cheating widows and orphans and op-
pressing their poor neighbors who have
no money to obtain justice would rob
at sea until the ocean, like the land,
would be crowded with rogues, so that
piracy in a little time would not be
worth following"
Anne Bonny's father when she was
five years old put her into boys cloths,
installed her in an establishment, giving
out that she was a relatives child
whom he intended to educate to be his
| clerk
Losing practice and repute soon after,
the father made off for new parts,
where, embarkirg as a merchant, he ac-
| cumulated money, bought q vessel and
| sailed for the American coast. In his
| North Carolina plantation Anne, who
had resumed petticoats, was his much
courted daughter. She was widely
sought and her father had great mat
rimonial expectations for her. But
| Anne was caught by a worthless spend
thrift who, when he found her father
disowned her, shipped with her to the
island of Providence in search of work.
There Anne Bonny captivated the
daredevil Capt. Rackam, and, discard
ing her husband, donned trousers and
eloped with the pirate. Her life ever
after was inseparable from piracy, and
her sex, until her final trial. was unsus-
pected, the secret being faithfully kept
by Mary Read and the ships captain.

oath at the trial for her life that there
was no pirate afiOat more resolute in
undertaking hazardous ventures than
Mary Read. In one of the fiercest con-
flicts with a man war none kept deck
but Mary Read, Anne Bonny and one
other.
Come up and fight like men, cried
Mary to those sinking under deck. Not
a man stirred. Down the hole Mary
fired, killing one man and Wounding
others. This evidence she denied at the
trial.
During all her life at sea- as on land,
her sex was never suspected until, dis
guised as Il man, Anne Bonny came
aboard this particular ship, having
eloped from North Carolina with it's
commander, Capt. Rackam, that pic
turesque pirate who has sat for hero to
more than one sea romance.
Anne Bonny made known to Mary
Read that she was a woman III man

forced to share her secret with Anne.

Casserly was the spirit and life or
this famous investigation. When II
came Casserly's turn to go on the
griddle he broke all to pieces. lie ad-
mitted his crime by resignation, and
Howard's triumph was complete. Now
adays delinquent senators have not III

others of that ilk.

through his term as senator he came
down to Los Angeles and organized a

fortune smiled. 1t was however, short
lived happiness, for soon the husband
died. Vicissitudes followed closely, and
in despair Mary again donned mans
apparel and set out for Holland. There
she joined a regiment quartered in a
frontier town, but soon shipped for the
West Indies.
When few days out the ship was
captured by pirates. Being the only
Englishman aboard the pirates kept
Mary together with the ships plunder.
She sailed with the pirate crew for
some time until the kings proclama-
ton pardoning all pirates who Volun-
tarily surrendered was taken advantage
of by her captors. All went ashore and
lived in apparent content until their
money gave out.
Hearing that Capt. Wood Rogers,
governor of the island of Providence,
was fitting out privateer to cruise
against the Spaniards, Mary joined the
crew. They had not sailed far when
the crew, Mary included, turned against
the commander and took up the old
trade of pirating.
Mary Read always declared she alb
horred the life of a pirate, and only
followed it under compulsion. Men who

Read was born quick upon the heels
of the death Of the legitimate son.
When Mary was four years old ner
mother put her into boys clothes and
taking her up to London passed her
off on her husbands mother as his
son. The old lady was delighted and
wanted to adopt the boy. This the
mother would not consent to, saying
it would break her heart to part with
him. The gullible old lady then gave
the mother a guinea a week for It's
support. Shortly after she lost her
money and died. Mary and her mother
fell into dire distress. She was told
at this crisis of her sex. She was now
thirteen and as handsome as a picture
She hired out as a footboy to u French
countess. But conventional life soon
Wearied her. She enlisted on Il man
of-war. After spirited engagements she
quilted the service and went to Flau-
ders.
There as a cadet she carried arms
in a foot regiment and won praise for
bravery, her sex never being suspect
ed. While deserving a commission, she
could not obtain one as they We're

havior won the esteem of the officers.
Her advance was assured when she
fell in love with her messmate, IL
handsome young fellow.
Mars and Venus could not be served
at the same time. The once model
horseman now grew negligent of duty.
The arms and decorations she always
kept in such fine order were allowed
to tarnish. When Fleming was or
dered out Mary went with him, with
out command of her superior officer
and at great danger to her life. The
rest of the troopers, little suspectinS
the secret, thought she was mad.
Fleming was at u loss to account for
her actions, but with the ingenious
ness of love, however the foolish lit
tie trooper at length revealed her sex
to Fleming.
Her attitude captured the messma te's
heart, who courted her in all honesty
for his Wife. When the horse guards

r OS ANGELES has contributed a
number of distinguished and
highly useful senator's to the leg
islature of California. Notably among
these was Gen. Phineas Banning, who
represented the city in that body from
1865 to 1868.
In those days the people of Los An
geles could occasionally overlook poll
tics, which they did in his case to a re-
markable degree. Although he was a
pronounced Republican and the district
was strongly Democratic, they looked
to the man and the good he could do,
and it was great. 1t was he who pro-
cured the passage Of the act which
enabled the county of Los Angeles to
issue bonds to the amount of $15O,OOO
for the building of the Los Angeles
and Wilmington railway.
one of his first exploits on his ar
rival at Sacramento was to deliver a
fierce speech against Jefferson Davis,
whose affairs were at that time occupy
ing the attention of the national au-
thoTities, and whose release from Fort
ress Monroe with Horace Greeley on
his bail bond, was being effected at the
time, This speech was unexpected and
distasteful to many of the generals
friends, who were southern men, and
more than partial to the late chieftan
of the Confederacy. Only Banning
could have made such a departure and
retained his popularity with that ele-
nent.
His Hospitality Was Great
Tsi, inn

California has ever known. lie had a
genius form oney making and a genu-
inc zest for spending the royal income
which was always at his command. II
is not too much TO say that he dis
bursed more coin in making other peo-
pie happy than half the other people
of California put together. His mansion
at Wilmington could easily accommO-
date luxurlously twenty guests over
night, and taking down stairs and up
he has frequently banqueted a hundred
people at time.
And those were banquets! All vii.
