Their names were Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and their rec0rds are still to be read in certain ancient British court re- cords, though they seldom are, says the Kansas City Star. â€"L___ -A. Mary was one or those Ublnusu women who have gone through life dressed as a man. She kept her se- gret from all except :1 very few. Be- fore she was ’18 she enlisted as a. sailor in the British navy. and a history of pirates publish-ed in Lon- don in '1724 by Oaptain Charles Johnson tells all about her. She did well enough as a sailoru then enlist- ed in the army, and went with a Bri- tish regiment to Flanders, where she fought through a number of cam- paigns, and was distinguished for reckless bravery, and helped keep up she reputation for profanity which goes with soldiers in Flanders. She called herself Frank Read, and apâ€" parently no one suspeCted that she was a girl. But, being a Woman, she could not refrain from falling in love, and 1-11 ___. U“--v- _, parently no one suspeCted that she was a girl. But, being a woman, she could not refrain from falling in love, and finally was married to a soldier of whom she had grown very fond. Then they both left the army, bought a little inn in Flanders, and settled down to housekeeping. All this seems a, long way from piracy -â€"bUt do not be impatient. Mary's husband died in a year or two, and she went back to her twild, masculine life, shipping as a. sailor on a Dutch merchantman, bound for the West Indies. Before the vessel reached its destination it was halted by British pirates, who, be- ing in need of a sailor, took the lusty Mary, never suspecting that the recruit to their crew was awoâ€" man. Mary pirated for a little while with the boys, and than the ship put in at New Providence, one of the Bahama Islands, and took adVant- age of the general pardon offered to every British pirate except Captain Kidd and Captain Avery. They all promised to be good, and the crew disbanded. and there was Mary out of a job again. Now, the British governor 01 New Providence was fitting out a prima- teerman at the time to harry Span- ish commerce. Privatecring. by the way, was the respectable and legal Way of being a. pirati . and was coun- tenanoed becaueg the owner a! a - Vateer had to divide the government. Well, our Mary beâ€" came - member of the crew of the British privateerman. and incident- ally it was a very tough crew she joimd. One mthz‘IBT of it was api- rate named Racksm, Nether was his wife. Anne Bonny, a '1»:an ‘wench. who the Mary, was disguis- ed as a man. Anne was the real “tough kiddo,’ Captain Johnson tells us, while Mary was just. an honest working girl, whom cruel ‘ fate had made a pirate quite against her will. However, Mary does not seem to have put up a very violent struggle against cruel fate. However that was, the rough and rnn-flv Anne Bonny tell in love with l i l very WOMEN PIRATES a dirk between her shoulders. The bold Rackam couldn't bear the thought of being a subordinate and dividing up the spoils of war with the government, so he led a mutiny, soon tossed the oflicers of the ship- overboard, and moved his belongings up to the captain’s cabin. It is not known whether he hoist- ed the Jolly Roger at the masthead, but probably he did,,and if he didn’t he should have. Anyhow, they ‘Went plundering merrily over the Southern seas, although they do not seem to have been as bad as some members of the profession. General- ly the crew of a merchant ship was allowed to go on its way after ev- erything of value had been carried off. Necessarily men were killed oc- casionally, but wholesale plank walk- ing was not a feature of this cruise. Maybe it was the refining influence of having two pirates of the gentler sex aboard, but the chances are it wasn’t. In the'first plaee there was nothing very gentle about Mary and Anne, and. in L: second place, flew those strange me through life THE man P083: members of the crew knew they were women.

The lapis is in three slabs, with the jade and mounted in the surrounding work. Opaque stomrs are the favorites in Balkan jewelry. Other gems used include garnets from the native soil, tODaZeS, amethystS, opals, rock cr’y- stals found in the river beds of the Highlands, and small see-d pearls.
