town is the proprietor of the telephone
company in this town. She has been
blind for fourteen years, yet she built
up the telephone system, ran it eff

the business. When the doctors told
her years ago that she was going blind,
Mrs. Bruce sought an occupation that
would tighten the darker years to
come. She secured sixty subscribers
to a telephone exchange, raised the
money to install the system, and man
aged it all herself. Now she has 400
subscribers, has kept her rates down

BEDTIME STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
Roy Gregor's Pirates.

Part II.
Roy pulled at the cover OF the box
and was surprised to find it was not
locked. With a 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
chestful of arms, swords and old
flintlock guns of that day.
He was too much surprised to utter
a 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 lake shore?'
In moment the truth flashed over
him-the men were not pirates at all,
but soldiers of the Earl of Ramsay,
seeking by trick to attack the castle.
But the brave little Gregor determined
to defeat their plans.
Pulling off his coat, he set 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 splashed
into the water until the boy got TO the
very last one, which was fine article,
all engraved and of the finest work
manship. This he found was loaded,
so he put it aside for his own use.
Suddenly Roy heard the splash of
oars and the rushing of waves as a
small boat came around a point in
the shore. In a 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, found
the chest open and its contents gone.
They were in a helpless plight.
Someone has found our guns cried
the leader. land we are without arms.
How can we attack Argyle's castle
without a weapon in our hands? At
any moment some OF his men may dis
cover us, and we will be taken pris-
oners Let us hasten away"
In all there were about fifteen men
in this second party. Most of them
could see in the moonlight, and they
pointed with angry gestures at the
grim castle frownlng down from the
cliffs above their heads.
There is nothing to do but go
back" continued the leader in disap-
pointed tones. 1--WE 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 ne gave it mighty swing.
To and fro it went slowly. With
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. Seeing their panic at this disaster
Roy pointed the gun upward and fired
into the air a shot that rang a hun
dred times amid the echoes of the
mountains. In five seconds a dozen
men were tumbling 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
