Gus consequences. He was ready to
face them, apparently, and renewed his
proposal while the ship was in Long
Island sound on the way to Boston.
So she told him she would be his wife.
When they were coming to anchor
off the Boston navy yard Lieut.. Hard
ing went forward to give some orders
and his fiancee invited the two Yankee
pilots who were aboard to come down
to the cabin and have some wine, which
they did. The captain of the blockade
runner, whom she called in her book
Capt. Henry, and another man were Of
the party. Harding had called small
boat alongside preparatory to going
ashore and this boat had dropped un-
der the quarter. AT moment she
thought suitable the girl nodded to
Capt. Henry, whom she had planned to
have escaped. He left the wine party
and stepping into the shore boat which
was soon handy he was soon on his
way to Boston. When later Harding
came aft he asked Belle where his pa.
ably they were in the lower cabin,
where he had been dressing, and he
went after them, while the small boat
got farther away.
Her After Career.
For allowing the escape of his pris
oner Harding was arrested and tried,
but he was not convicted. Belle Boyd
was banished by Lincoln and went to
England. Harding deserted shortly
afterward and went to England, where
he and the spy were married on Aug.
20, 1864 Harding returned to this
country and became a Confederate spy.
His wife became an actress in England
and returned to America after the proc
lamatlon Of general amnesty. She
played under the name of Nina Ben
jamin in different cities, and at one
time lobbied successfully to put a bill
through the "black and tan" Legisla-
ture Of Texas.
In 1869 she married Col. John Swains-
ton Hammond, quit the stage, went, in
Ill health, with her husband to Cali

minister's mind, and every new book
he reads, and every new sight he sees,

HER FAITH.



fields to where, standing on a low fir
clad hill, she could look down unper-
ceived on the roads below. There were
two roads-the broad, white road from
the distant town that held the prison,
an'. which wound it's way onward to
the next large town; and the curved,
narrow lane that met it and struck
downward on the left to the little VII
lage of Frant passing the Friends cot
tage on its way.
Ann knew that prisoners were re-
leased from Newham Jail at o'clock
In the morning. She knew that John
must come to where the roads crossed.
After one look at the disgraced man
she would have time to run home and
start with her box in the opposite di-
rection before he could reach the cot
tage, so she stood there and waited,
! and was angry with herself for wait
ing-angry because the minutes went
so slowly, then angry because they had
gone so fast, when solitary figure ap-
peared walking in the center of the
road, making it suddenly seem broad,
white, and cheerless.
The man, for 1t was a man, walked
slowly, hesitatingly. He felt his way
with stick. as If he was blind.
Yes, 1t was John; but why did he
walk like that. instead Of swinging
along in his old hearty manner? Per-
haps he felt ashamed. Serve him right
If he was!
He came nearer and nearer and, as
she saw that he had green shade over
his eyes, the color left her cheeks, and,
forgetting to hide herself as hitherto,
she went to the extreme edge Of the
little hillock and looked down intently,
When the man came to the cross
roads he stopped and stood facing
down the narrow lane for full five
minutes.
1t was poor, pitlful sight upon
which the sunshine shone-the poor,
manned face, with lurid smallpox
marks and swollen features. To some
it would have been repulsive sight;
1t brought but a hungry, yearning look
into the eyes looking down upon 1t.
And then, slowly, deliberately, the
man turned away from the lane,
stepped again into the center Of the
road, and continued his way.
my God! he is going away--he is not
coming home" gasped Ann; and for
getful alike of her wrongs, her resolu-
tions, she tore down the steep bank,
rushed after the stumbling figure,
caught the man by the arm, and cried:
John, John, you have taken the
wrong turning! This Is the way home,
dearr'
you see my lass" said John Friend,
leaning on his wife's strong arm, 1.-The
doctor told me | was a sad sight and
l thought perhaps you would not
know when l was a-coming out, and
I'd go into Gorrick for spell till my
hair had grown and my eyes and face
were bit better; but you was always
u good wife, lass; and how l should
have got through these two years with
out knowing as you believed haven't
done 1t, l don't know. You was al
ways a good wife, lass, and I'm weary
ing for home"
And the innocence Ann failed to be-
lieve in when John Friend was hale
and hearty she believes in now that he

The AK with Which Charles 1. was
Beheaded.

The AK with Which Charles 1. Was
Beheaded.
The veXed question, so much in evi.
dence in the papers recently, Where is
the present location of the ak with
which King Charles |. was beheaded p
has finally been answered. The famous
relic now reposes in the Museo Bor-
bonico, at Naples, Italy. One who has
rummaged much among the archives
of the British Museum furnishes these
particulars regarding it: The execu-
toner of Charles (Giles Dekker) sur
vived the monarch SO years, dying in
1855. His claim to the ak, which he
appears to have regarded as his per-
quisite, was, after considerable discus
sion, granted by Parliament, and 1t re-
mained his until his death. He always
refused to make an exhibition Of the
instrument, but his son, however, de-
void Of such scruples, placed it on show
at the tavern in Lambeth, and this
coming to the new Kings ears, a raid
was made, the ak was confiscated and
James ii. became its custodian. When
compelled to fly from the kingdom in
1888 he took 1t with him to France and
at st. Germain it remained until his
death, in 1701. Louis XIV. became its
next possessor, and later on the Regent
Duke Of Orleans, who parted with it
for consideration" to Ferdinand,
King Of Naples. Treasured by that
family for upward of 60 years, 1t was
finally deposited in the Naples Mu-
scum.

lines and knew many of the officers,
and she used her acquaintance and her
Establishments to gain from them in
formation which would be of service
to her friends in the Southern armies,
to whom she conveyed it at every op-
portunity. Many of her messages she
sent to Gen. j. e. b. Stuart. At favor
able opportunities she abstracted the
side arms of her Federal acquaintances
when they left them carelessly about,
and these she forwarded to the enemy.
She was suspected after time, and
then one Of her notes fell into the Fed
eral hands and she was arrested, repri-
manded and threatened, but Gen.
Shields set her at liberty. Gen. Shields,
she said afterward, was completely off
his guard and introduced her to officers
of his staff.
Sentenced to Be Shot.
The night before Shields set out after
Stonewall Jackson he announced that
he was going to whip Jackson and a
council Of war was held in what had
been the drawing-room of Bellies aunt's
house. Through the floor of closet
off bedroom above the drawing room
n hole had been bored. Belle crept up
to the closet and applied her ear to 1t
when the council assembled. She was
able to be of such service to Jackson
that he sent her a letter after his de-
feat of Gen. Banks, dated May %,
1862, thanking her for her immense
services" On Jackson's advice she re-
moved to Winchester, and Jackson
made her an aide on his staff with the
rank Of captain. While at Winchester
she was made aware of several very
suspicious Northern plans which would
destroy the counter-movements of the
armies of her beloved Confederacy.
Without thought Of the danger to
herself she instantly started from the
town to the point Of land occupied by
General jackson and the Southern
troopers, a point she gained after a
most perilous and narrowing run
through the fires of both armies. Dur
Ing her career as a spy she was twice
sentenced to be shot and was for IL
months prisoner in the Carroll and
Capitol prisons at Washington.
Belle Boyd's career In the military
service ended in 1864, when she was
captured with dispatches on a block
ade runner. Lieut.. Sam Wylde Hard.
ing, of the navy, was put in charge of
tba blOpkodn runnnr which uos ar
dered to Boston. The lieutenant and
Belle Boyd were thrown together
good deal and left largely to them
selves. He quoted from Shakespeare
and Byron to her, she tells in her au-
photography. When he began to talk
of tender subjects she thought he
might become useful to her cause, so
when he asked her to become his wife
she told him that it might involve sari.
