And Her Nonresisfo.nt
Principles.
By r A. MITCHX.
Coprrtffht by Am?1oui P km Aaao
c la Mod. lUL
Miss Macgrefw was a Scotch Mr.
who came over to America from Glas
gow to Boston In colonial days. MKs
Macgregor at the tlim> the events nar
rated In this story occurred was aixty
years old. four feet eleven Inches high
and her circumference four feet two
Her hair was snowy white. Ttoert
wns much In the elderly mslden's ap
pearance to indicate that she was
firm of porjiose. Her face was square,
her eyes deer set In the sockets, and
the corners of her mouth curved
downward. She had never married
and had never had any desire to ho
married, indeed, the male sex was
repulsive to her.
Miss Macgregor came from Scotland
with her father, who accumulated a
fortune in trading on the tea. At his
deeth. which occurred when be was
a very old roan, he left his daughter,
then past middle ag?. several ships,
besides houses and land. Miss Mac
crcgor took his place in the manage
ment of her property, continuing the
business on the ocean. She would
have made women captains of her
! vessels, hnt In those days women were
POLLOmtr- TH* RrrRRATTSO PCOCA3CEKR.
Dot ambitions to take tbe places of
men. and do female no* captains were
to be obtained. ObHced to pot np
with men. she continually chafed at
everything they did. One source of
tremble sbe had with them was that
they wished to be prepared to resist
the pirates who infested the seas Id
those days, while Miss Macgregor.
who was a theoretic nonreslstant
though practically sbe never gave way
to any one, declared that she would
rather lose every ship sbe owned than
have a drop of blood shed to save
:bem. This was all very well for this
cood lady, bat It meant death to her
captains and crew*. Yet argue as they
would they failed to move her.
"Ttinr's na use o" trylD' to mak me
go back od my principles," she **ki.
"for 1 wu! na do t"
Miss Macgregor after spending
many years at work finally decided to
rake a voyage to one of ber ships. She
elected the Scotia. Captain Ethan
Hardwick. tbe nun sbe most trusted
of all tbe masters of ber vessels. Cap- ;
tain Hardwick on ber announcement
of ber Intention to go with him on his
next cruise Informed her that the tss
sel needed overhauling. and be was
given a month ft?r tbe purpose.
Now. the captain on his last voyage
bad dodced two pirates and shown a
clean pair of heels to a third. His
overhauling meant the taking aboard
of a do-en runs of different caliber and
arwnrinc masked portholes? masked i
rather ' ? deceive the owner than the
pirsto- He had always carried, nn
hr s* her. a full supply of small
srr - h would be only useful In
? ? i'.<. rders. He had once ask
ed 1 1 ? r..r those weapons, stating what
he Khcd them for
? Ve il no t;oed them." she said, "for
ye'll tak do boarders on ony sheep o'
i mine."
When all was ready Miss Macgregor
went aboard the Scotia, going up the
gangplank slowly that she might take
In every thing in sight Six open
ings for guns confronted her on that
side of the vessel, but they bad been
so carefully concealed by Captain
Hardwick that tbe old lady's eyes,
weakened through ape, failed to take
them In.
Tbe most the captain bad expected
was that the lady would not discover
tbe heavy guns till tbe ship was so far
out at sea that getting rid of them
would be impracticable. And even
then he feared sbe would order them
heaved overboard. But. as good lnck
would have it Miss Macsregor was so
deathly seasick fbr the first mouth that
she never shewed herself out of ber
!raMn Another mouth followed, dur
ng which she sat by day on deck
wrapped In a Macgregor plaid. 8be
would use no other figure, being very
ptvud of the clan from whence sbe
sprang.
One day when the sea was choppy,
slrtlnc In ber accustomed seat fighting
off eea?lckness, sbe noticed an unusual
movtnc about of tbe officers and crew
The former were passing a gl?ss
among them, each In turn bringing It
to bear on a distant ship. Calling tbe
captain to her sbe asked what Inter
. csted tbera
"That vessel we iiuspect to to t
! pirate." be replied
Instead of rawing fear the old lady
Stood op on her fret, took the flam
and looked for benelf.
"Wb*' makes ye tblnk abe'a a pi
r ratef
? She'* bollt only tor speed and flfbt
tag."
The old lady said no more. Brought
face to fnce with that which she bad
beard of only at a distance ber non
resistant iboory ootliipxed. But abe
was too proud to adnHi It.
Tbe stranger was erldently steering
a course to bead off Vbe Scotia. Ml?s
Macrrogor aat imniornble, while tbe
two ship* were luerltably drawing
closer together. Then* waa no fear tn
ber face, but a thundercloud. Were
there a mythological goddeaa of war
abe would bare t<een Ms impersonation
Presently tbe *trans>er "broke" the
skull and cross bo nesi. firing at tbe
aarae time a abot across tbe Scotla'a
bows. Immediately Mlaa Macgregor
heard tbe rolling of iruns on a lower
deck.
"Wba's that?" abe afked.
"Guna," replied tbe captain.
Tbe curve of tbe old lady's Hps
tnrned from down war I and upward In
a grim smile Bot she said never a
word. Sbe bad no encomium for Cap
tain Ban!* ick for dlnobeylng her or
ders and no reproof.
"Strike tbe flag." tbe captain ordered.
Up Jumped Miss Maegregor. "Strike
tbe flap!" sbe cried "Never. Not on
my sheep while I'm al>oard of her."
"It's a rose." explained the captain.
"I wish to get her within range and
when our broadside failes ber we'll ron
out our gun* for tbe fight."
"Ah. weet." said the lady, "1 did na'
think o* that"
Tbe pirate unsuspectingly drew near
er and the two ressela stood aide by
side, a cable's length iipart Tbe buc
caneer did not consider It worth while
to open his ports, thinking bis price
a mere trader. Suddenly the Scotia's
| ports flew open and a broadside tbun
i dered forth.
"Weel done, captain r Mid tbe old
lady. "Can ye na giv? him another?"
Some confusion was manifest on tbe
pirate, but his guns were ron oat and
tbe flght was opened.
A great change ciime over Mis* |
Macgregor. her appearance suggesting
ber ancestor hlghlanders' "wha' wl
Wallace bled." Hardidck endeavored
to retain tbe command!, but soon gave
way to the little Scotchwoman. Un
fortunately, she did not have tbe
knowledge of seamanship and ord
nance with which to curry on such an ;
I encounter and it went against her.
; The pirate kept drawling nearer. Bnal
i ly getting Into a position favorable for
grappling Hnrdwick told tbe men to
1 go below and bring up the mnsketa
and cutlasses. They did ??. and tbe j
captain suggested to his commander j
that tbe crew He beneath tbe bul-j
warka and if the pirates attempted to j
board surprise them. Sbe consented j
and. taking a cutlass, iicreened herself
among them on tbe bows near where
the bucca' . . "a were erldently aiming |
to grapple
ITMOTHIT a DOT* IDC DPIQ!" Ol lUtrar !
waiting was t ho sound of Irons catch
ing on the gunwale. Hard wick had
told the men to wait till he (rare the
signal to rl?e. but as be wss shout to
do so Miss MactJregor sprang with an i
agility boBtting a younp irirl on to the I
bulwarks and. holding with her left j
band to the foremast ratlines, wared ,
a cutlass with the other
"Cotne on. ye Imps o' Satan." she
cried
One of the pirates was about to
leap to the Scotia, btit thl* (trance
apparition threw him Bat aback. Bnt
only for a moment. The Scotia's men
supported their lender nrxl for a time
repelled the attack Nut at last the
buccaneers pained a ft<othold on the
Scotia's dock, and ber <rew were drlr
en back.
An hour passed. bnt the pirates conld
not score a victory. A number of
times the Scotia's crew would hare
glrcn np the flftht bnt for the Indom
itable resolution of Miss Macgregor.
One glance at her adamant face and
they were ready for another thrust
n>e officers realizing ber ralne pro
tected her from many a stroke that
would hare cleft her like an apple.
"Oet awaT she cried to them. Bnt
they refused.
Her men. fighting as they were for
tbeir lives, as time went on killed and
disabled more pirates than they lost
themselves. Finally CapUdn Hard
wick, seeing that he bad his enemies
outnumbered, gave a iHgnal for one
concentrated effort It so reduced the
pirates' numbers that they gave way.
Miss Macgregor broke through those
of her own side In frcat of her and
followed the retreating buccaneers,
chopping them with b-tr cutlass, till
Captain Hardwlck caught ber by ber
skirts and pulled ber tiack. Most of
the fleeing men were killed. The rest
jumped Into the sea. Tben MUw Mac
gregor stood on the foi*castle, cover
ed with blood, ber iktrts torn to
shreds, her white batr unloosed and
flying In the winds, not a whit of her
sternness gone, and sakt:
"Tbor's na kirk on t:be sheep, bat
that's na reason why we shouldn't
fcave prayers Ooon on yer knees and
give thanks for the victory!"
Not a man bnt dropped. Not a man
dared disobey lest she cut him down
for mntlny. and Ml*s Manrregof
poured forth In her quaint Scotch dia
lect thanks that they bad not only
been spared, but had bfen enabled to
smite their enemies.
The episode changed Miss Macgre
por's noncombattnt principles Wben ,
?he returned from ber 'forage as fast
as i*er ships came In she pnt aboard
the heaviest guns tbej' would bear, j
and when she had completed tJbs J
armament the vessels resembled a ;
fleet of men -o' war.
