Just Before It's Bedtime
ROY GREGOR'S PIRATES-PART II.

~ OY pulled at the cover of the box
- and was surprised to find it was
n not locked. With swiftly
beating heart the laddie jerked
off the top, expecting to. see the CLINT
of jewels and musty bags. of gold, but
instead he saw only a chestful of arms,
swords and old fiintlock guns of that
day.
He was too much surprised to utter
sound. But he soon recovered his
wits. -..-.. ..
These men," he reflected, "are not
pirates. for they have no treasure.
They are working today In the fields
of the Lord of Argyle. Why are they
pretending to be laborers and yet hid-
ing arms on the lakeshore?' ss
Just then the boy glanced upward.
There perched on the height about half
of the Lord of Argyle, the starlight
showing the gray stone in bold relief
against the night sky.
In a moment the truth flashed over
him-the men were not pirates at all,
but soldiers of the Earl of Ramsay.
seeking by a. trick to attack the castle.
But the brave little Gregor determined
to defeat their plans.
Pulling off his coat, he sat to work
with will and dragged the weapons
from the box, throwing them into the
lake. One by one, the swords and
guns flashed up into the air and
splasked into the water till the boy got
to the very last one, which was a fine
article, all engraved and of finest work
manship. This he found was loaded,
so he put it aside for his own use.
On the edge of the sky he noticed a
faint glow, and knew that the moon
was rising. Brighter and brighter grew
the light, till every peak was reflected
iE its glitter, which cast a silvery sheen
ever mountain and lake. Suddenly Roy
heard the splash of oars and the rush
ing of waves as a small boat came
around a point in the shore. In flash
he was hidden again under the back
of the rock.
The party of men stepped on the
beach, and came hastily toward the
crag, but, TO their establishment, tound

= F you want to meet girl with more
enthusiasm and more joy in life
than you ever imagined existed in
this workaday world. you should
meet and know Violet Heming. the
eighteen-year-old English girl who is
playing the part of Clarisso in Dis
raeli." which comes to the National
Theater next week. Lots of people re-
member the red-cheeked English girl
who came to the Columbia Stock Com
pany late in the season of 1912 to accept
n limited engagement as ingenue. She
was just little girl, with a pretty
English turned-up nose, cheeks pink as
the. sunny side of a peach, and long
golden hair. falling in two curls and
tied with a big bow: nothing but a
young girl. full of the joy OF living.
and decidedly interested in everything
that came her way.
1t didn't take long for the Washing
ton matinee girls to discover that Miss
Heming had a penchant for ice-creanl
sodas, and whenever the little English
girl was to be discovered seated on a
high stool in one or another of the r
street soda emporiums, absorbing long
cooling drinks through a straw, there
would also be found dozens of sweet
young things who stood about in groups
in silent worship of the girl who has
accomplished SO much in the eighteen
short years of her existence.
Violet Heming Is a child Of superla-
tives. She perfectly adores" life. at
which she looks with the wistful. un-
afraid gaze of child. She is simply
mad about her work: she .just loves"
the theater, and she's crazy about
some new gown. So pretty is she, and
so much in earnest that there is no
suggestion of gushing In what she says.
Has Big Scene
In Disraei.
And yet when one recalls her big
scene in ''Disraeli," when she tells the
weak and amiable Charles, in a voice
and manner from which all suggestion
of childhood has slipped away, how
she wants to have a husband whom
she can help to climb, whose bleeding
feet she may help to victory, she's a
child and she's a woman both at once.
and a mighty ambitious little woman.
in spite of her lack OF years.
During the summer that the little
English girl was member of the
Columbia Players. she and the writer
had scme mighty interesting little talk

Now what would you do say to a

They were In a helpless plight.

the leader, land we are without lrns.
How can We. attack Argyle's castle
without a weapon in our hands. At any
moment some of his men may discover
US, and we will be taken prisoners. Let
Us hasten away"
In all there were about fifteen men
in this. second party. Most of them
were fierce-looking fellows. as Roy
could see in the moonlight. and they
pointed with angry gestures at the grim
castle frowning down from the cliffs
above their head. Their leader was a
tall. handsome man with an air of dis
tinction, and the rest of the men SEEM
ed to pay him great respect. On his
cap was bit of leatheSand at his
side broad sword, for he was the only
one of the set who had any arms.
There is nothing to do but go back, -
continued the leader in disappointed
tones. I'VE have failed this time, but
will try again.
Now Roy, when leaning against the
stone had discovered that it rocked
when pushed. So with all Of his
strength he gave it mighty swing. TO
and fro it went slowly. With a second
mighty blow the lad gave it such force
that it rolled from its foundation and
crashed below into, the group of men.
Five Of the men were badly bruised as
it swept by them and one, the leader.
was caught beneath it by the leg. See
ing their panic at this disaster, Roy
pointed the gun upward and fired into
the air shot that rang hundred times
amid the echoes of the mountains. In
five seconds a dozen men were tumblins
down the crags to the shore to see what
the trouble was while the party which
had come in the boat was rowing for
life off into the mists, afraid of their
lives. On the shore lay their wounded
comrade. pinned down by the rock
Amongst the men who came in haste
was Roy's father. In few words the
lad told him the story and led him to

father, as ne released the man. "and
this is the Earl of Ramsay himself. left
here wounded by his own cowardfy
men," With the help of Roy and his
father, the Earl was taken up to the
castle a prisoner. But the Lord of Ar
syle treated him so kindly and nursed
him so patiently that by the time the
earl was well, he and Argyle were the
best Of friends.
As for Roy. his fortune was made.
The Lord of Argyle took him into his
house as a page and later on he became
a great soldier who fought in the Holy
Land. The King bestowed on him great
lands, and throughout the country Roy
was known as the good Knight of the
Lake.

account for their unusual pop

orn the throat there would be an in
slant increase in the market price of
those commodities. For two reasons
then, warmth and fashion, a rare COM
bination, fur neckpieces are in favor
and are likely to remain so, until the
summer weather sneaks around again.
The womans furnishing store, which is
in + street between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth streets, has an excellent line
of neckwear, and has made a specially
of the neck ruff in several different
kinds of material. Feathers. fur and
chiffon are used, the feathers and
chiffon being combined with ribbon,
while the fur collars fasten plain, with
buckles. They are made just the size
of the neck ana have one greg. fault.
They will undoubtedly cause a great
deal OF throat trouble. If one is bought
others must be purchased TO be Worn
throughout the winter. The Prices
range from $3.95 to SO in some cases.
Maribou and ostrich are to be had at
the shop mentioned, the maribou being
from 1886 to $4,000 and the ostrich
being from s. to $40
A large variety of waists may be
found at tine woman's furnishing store
in G. street, not far from the corner Of
Eleventh street. They are on the first
floor and already arranged out on the
tables SO that the bashful woman dscs
not have to ask the clerk to drag all
the goods off OF the shelves in order TO
make a purchase. All the styles are
easily seen at glance. Exquisite silk

tons range in price from $2.95 to $I.s1.
Lingerie vOle and crepe waists are to

in original styles.

popularity for the brilliantly hued petit
