Lest one should either exaggerate or diminish the romantic possibilities of the island, let the official handbook itself declare the story, Advantage of one of these recur- rent periods of oblivion was taken, in 1818 or 1819, it states, "by a notorious pirate known as Benito, Bennett Graham, to secrete there a vast plunder he had obtdined by rifling churches in Peru. A few years afterwards, it is said, Benito deposited 'a fres tity of gold bars and specie, 11 million dollars.

But here was a young wo- man with fresh, clear English com- plexion and with soft hair the color d wateh. If this sounds too good to be true, let me add 'that Miss »nson has a pair of keen and 'purposeful blue-gtrey eyes, ac: customed to taking the measufe of people My second impression went much deeper than mere appearances. 1 discovered that my hostess was re- markably '-unasst g. Here she was, at. the very t of the Britigh Empire, within a stone's throw of the Adntiralty, of the Foreign Office, of Parlianient, knowing many of their inner mysteries, and yet she was as- suring me that her work was not so Jifficult or complicated as it might seem, for, as she said, "I began in a very humble way and grew as the work grew." | When Miss Stevenson finished col- lege she secretly longed to strike out from the beaten path of teaching which opened before her as her pre- destined calling She' thought of secretarial work. However, she wanted to begin earning her living at | once; so into teaching she went. As a student at the Clapham high school she had formed a schoolgirl friend- ship with Lloyd George's elder daughters, and afterward the young- est, Miss Megan, became her pupil. Mr. Lloyd George was then Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, and Miss Stevenson used sometimes to visit the family at No. 11 Downing street, yhe residence of the Chancellor. fhe latter, after he had had time to 8b- gerve her and judge her abilities of fered her a place as his secretary, In: May, 1915, the Ministry of Munitions was created and Lloyd George was placed at its head. The task. before him was rious, and at the start his entir aff consisted only of Miss Steve Mr. J. I. Davis, and one other person. When they op their office, a table and two ¢ rs comprised their whole equipment, and porters arriv- ed to take -away even this modest outfit before permanent furniture could be securedl That very day Miss Stevenson received word that her brother had been killed at the front. To-day, wor g under ' her in Downing street, e has about a dog- en steno 1ers In addition to having c of the Prime Minis- ter's very y correspondence, she sent ideas, ' 10 Mr. grievances, and Lloyd George. She it clear that she etary Jesides 'n, while a to the lems in British is 'not his on herself there are third man devotes Prime Minister's pre polities. The first step toward being a-good secretary, according to Miss Steven- son, is to be a goed stenvgrapher. Without a 'good education she be- lisves a stenographer cannot pro- gress, for ability to put marks on paper must be ace inied by intel- ligence.and a thorot knowledge of English. office never.to engage a stenographer has not had.at least a high school course. | As to speed, she regards it as vital | in some branches of stehography, but intelligence she emphasizes as requi site in them all. She added that Mr. Lloyd George is not a rapid or a dif- ficult dictator; but I couldn't loubting whether the average steno- grapher, 'if confronted with ly*secr her. | It was characteristic of her to re-| fuse to draw a line of distinction between the sexes. To her impartial view ability is ability and faults are faults, regardless of whetheér their | possessors are male or female. If one were to ask her the foolish question, '"'Could a woman ever be prime minister?' she would reply, | simply. "If she had braing and ex- perience enough she could; if she| hadn't, she couddn't." | Over-conscientiousness comes sec- | ond on Miss Stevenson's list of pit- falls to be avoided. Women, she be- | lieves, don't know when to stop work- ing. - Instead of realizing that they as men generally do, they spur them- selves beyond, calling on their re- serve energy to see them through. In the long run this leads to shattered nerves and is to no one' 8 advantage. It ~--Pictorial Review. A Witty Dean.

But of one man he was sure. I'his juror did not take his eyes from the lawyer. Every argument appear- ed to meet gvith the 's approval, and in the closing t s of the at- % for the defence the juror wept -solfbed, in fact When the jury retired the lawyer said to the attorney associated with him in the case: "The jury will never convict the young woman. There is one man on the jury who will hang for her until hell freczes OvgEr. as near our cdlling me that as he could he was o side possibly The jury was out an hour or two and the lawyer began to féel a little uneasy for fear there would be a hung jury. He was. consoling him- self with the thought that, at least, he man of such deep sympathy was {on the jury, when the 12.men, good { and true, entered the courtroom. The verdict was for acquittal. After the verdict had been returned the foreman of the body said: "We had to take three ballots because of | the perversity of one cuss who vated twice for a verdict of guilty, The ballots stood every time 11 to 1 for acquittal." "Who was that man?" asked her lawyer. "It was that 'boob' the time you were making your speech," answered the foreman. Old lawyers know that there is no safe rule to an accurate line on what a jury will do or how the individual jurors will vote. Otherwise, the practice of law would be somewhat I simplified.

On one occasion, while speaking in & marquee during a heavy down- fall of rain, he said, "I'm afraid I've kept you 'too long," when a voice in the rear replied, "Go on, it's still raining!" _t After distributing prizes at a schoo! he remarked that he hoped the children would have a good re- cord when he came again, and they rose and with one accord sald, "Same to you, sirl" do | | without actually saying it right out."
