Curious Story or q Ring.

A curious story of an amethyst In the
British crown Is told. The presence OF
this stone, taken, 1t is said, from the
ring of Edward the Confessor. has the
power Of preserving the wearer from ell
CONTAGIOUS diseases. The story Of this
ring Is repeated and believed TO this
day in the remote rural shires Of Eng
land. Edward, the legend says, was on
his way to Westminster when he was
met by . beegar, who implored him in
the name of st. John TO grant him a..
sistance. The charitable king had az
hausted al his change in almsgivins
and could find In his scrip neither bank
note nor gold piece; but drew from his
finger his ring, an amethyst OF great
value. and gave 1t to the beggar. who
vanished In cloud of smoke. Some
years afterward two English pilgrims In
the Holy Land found themselves in q
desert in great distress, when q hoary-
headed and long-bearded stranger ap-
peared to them, giving them sustenance,
and finally announcing to them that he
was the prophet St. John the Baptist.
He gave them the ring that Edward had
given the beggar years before, telling
them to deliver it to the king. and say
that In a few weeks Edward would be
with him in Paradise. Edward re-
ceived the ring and prepared for his
death, which occurred at the time ap-
pointed By the saint. For many years
the stone was preserved as o sacred relic
by the Church OF Havering in England,
but it was finally placed in the British
crown, though Havering retains the
name to this day.
