\ DUEL
Rut the secret was not to remain long
n secret. soon after the arrival OF Anne
Bonney aboard the brigantine captured

was a Young artist OF engaging man
ners. Mary Reed straightway fell In
love with him Her love was put 10
severe test before many days. for the
artist. having quaI1'eled with one or the
pirates, challenged him 70 a duel. which
they agreed 70 fight ashore. Mary had
doubts about the courage OF the man
she loved or possibly she loved MN
so much that she would not let him
risk his life At any rate. she sought
a quarrel with the pirate and insisted
on dghtlng him before the hour set Tor
the duel with the artist.
Mary and the pirate fought with pis-
toll and sword and after a short en-
gaRement she left him dead on the Held.
II was after that duel that Mary con-
fessed her love to the artist They
pledged their faith which they deemed
as binding as il the ceremony had been
performed by a clergyman.
From the notes of those who attend
ed the trial OF this woman there is fur
nished this description Of her she is
handsome. robust and snowy or distin-
g7iished in appearance. That she is ca
pable OF great exertion and Of sustain
ing great fatigue no one need doubt ar
ter surveying her big frame. She is
rather vain In some respects and par
tlcularly Of her success in deceiving the
world as 10 her sex. She Is susceptible
OF the tendercst emotions and the most
genuine affections. Although she was
inadvertently drawn into piracy, this
horrible mode OF life has not stained
her character. and she possesses a rec
titude OF principle and Of conduct far
superior TO many who have not been
exposed 10 such temptations"
Although the woman appeared robust
to all who saw her In court she was far
from well. Her condition was such that
her execution was postponed several
times. she grew worse rapidly and
then she died
II is unlikely that she would have
been hanged even II she had not been
stricken with illness. but at any rate
her death saved Anne Bouney. for
whom there was not so much sympa-
thy expressed as for Mary Reed.
ANNE BONNEY.
The Bonney woman was Irish. having
been born In Cork. Her father was a

wife and eloped 10 America with one

as one Of the great actresses of the

OF the opportunity. went 20 Jamaica,
were officially forgiven, and having
sold their plumber to good advantage,
proceeded to enjoy the fruits Of their
adventures.
When their money was spent they
heard that Capt. Rodgers was fitting

dence for privateering This suited
them admirably, so a fair number Of

What else could I do?" Mary asked
the judge when she got TO this point in
her narrative There was no way for
an honest woman 10 make a living In
Jamaica. as we'll you know. and even

and even though ] ahhor bloodshed and
crime have the same love Of life that

years the pirates ranged the golf prey

male, half female. In all the contests
in which the briFantine engaged she
was as resolute and as good a fighter as
any man aboard.
One OF the queer things In connection
with this strange pair Of women IS that
il was through Anne Bonney that the
sex OF Mary Reed was discovered. Mary
was no less modest than she was brave
and no one on board suspected her as
being other than she seemed. Anne

stripe than Mary. was much impressed
by the rosy cheeks and dashing APP

IL is recorded that the women showed

marveled at. for the women had dis
played FAR more bravery IN the sea

THE FIGHT.
II was early In November. 1870. that
n small English warship sighted Rack
ANS brigantine on Jamaica The two
vessels were pretty well matched and
in the early stages Of the fight all the
chances favored the pirates. but sea
robbers never did have much stomach
for fighting against the English. and
when one of the guns on the brigantine
burst and it was necessary 10 close with
the enemy II victory was 10 be
achieved. Rackam rushed TO his cabin
and sought solace in the brandy bottle.
In vain did Mary Reed and Anne Bon
ney plead with and threaten the rest.
The example Of the captain was too
much for them. After firing a few
more shots at the Englishman they.
too. sought refuge and solace in the
cabin, all but one. This one remained
on deck with the two women and
fought the ship until tho last. In one
desperate effort 10 get the men back
on deck Mary Reed went 10 the cabin
door and, firing into the crowd. threat
ened death TO every one Of them who
continued 20 act the coward. Her shot
killed one man, but the others stuck
TO the cabin and refused 10 come out.
When the English swarmed on board
she, in disgust, surrendered the brigan-
tine, and thereafter both by the COM
nander Of the warship and by the civil
authorities she was treated as the real

The latter method is quite dressy and
is not nearly as troublesome as it
sounds. Nearly all women, or their
maids, do much Of this handwork. and
four large, noss-worked buttonholes in
each pair of stockings is not such a
serious undertaking.
If one doesn't wish to do it ON every
day hosiery and the everyday corset it
is easily accomplished with those for
formal occasions. When one considers
that it absolutely prevents the stocking
from going to pieces 1t is a small meas
ure of protection.
The placing OF the tape is a much
simpler method. 1t is easily The
tape should be sufficiently long and
wide to insure protection and neatly

1t should run down the hem at the

been widely copied and called down
blessings upon their inventors heads.
To begin at the beginning. the roo
of the trouble lies with the catches of
the elastics that drop from the corset.
These not only pull out a thread the
full length of the stocking, which in
stantly develops into an able-bodied
Jacobs ladder, but they gouge ugly
rents in the tops of the stockings.
When one hole appears the clasp Is
put into another part of the stocking
top, until that is torn, and so on until
one is quite ragged.
To prevent all these beginnings,
therefore. do one of two things: Sew
lengthwise inch-wide silk tape the color
of the stocking just where the clasp IS
to go, front and sides; or work a heavy
%buttonhole in the top at each place,
and, removing the metal and rubber
hook and button from each elastic, sew
two ends of half-inch ribbon in their
place.
After the corset is adjusted pull the
