listened at the right-hand door, as though
there were another prisoner close at

opened it softly, and put his head into
the room beyond, withdrawing it in 81
lence. as if contented with what had met
his gaze; and proceeding down another
flight of stairs, to a room on the ground
floor, where three tall men, in shirt
sleeves, were covering before a fire. il
these men were Petersons, Captain Ed

family to himself.

He had mentioned fifteen thousand

No one COMPOUNDED the name of Jack

good policy in the Captain adopting his
own name when he went with Thomas

her by sight

The Newburyport, Mass, Herald of
May 19 has the following obituary no.
tice of one who was so well and pleas
antly known in this section:
Mary, wife of Rev. Joseph Boardman,
died very suddenly of disease OF the
heart, at the parsonage in Roxbury, VT,
at 6 o'clock on Monday, May 11th, at
the age of 81 years and days. Funeral
services were held in Roxbury, and also
at the place of burial in Barnet. VT, on
Thursday, May IA, and there was a
large attendance at the solemnities at
each place.
Mrs. Boardman was better known to
many persons in this vicinity as Mary

late Rev. Leonard Wilmington, D. D.,
pastor of the First Church in Newbury,
in which town she was born May 7th,
1912. From her early childhood she dis

| able force of character and executive
ability and an amiable and affectionate
disposition that won her friends wherever
she made acquaintance. With the first
| teachers who went south to work
| among the freedmen she went and
worked successfully for several years. 1t
| was not in all respects pleasant as to
situation, as her field was in part OF
the South where was the home OF college
friends of her father and older brother,
and these persons who would have been
most warmly hospitable if she had come
among them before the war, refused to
recognize her because of the work in
which she was engaged, and which the
whites of the South condemned at that
time.
Sometime after her return from the
South she became engaged to Rev. Jo-
seph Boardman at that time preaching
in Dracut, Mass, and who had been one
OF her teachers when she was pupil in
the Putnam Free School. They were
married in the meeting house of the First
Parish, Newbury, Nov. 1, 1870, her
father, Rev. DIR. Wilmington, performing
the ceremony, assisted by Rev. John K.
Thurston. Her life as a minister's wife
has been one of great activity uninter-
rupted even by broken health which has
afflicted her during recent years. After
five years at Dracut, Mr.. Boardman
preached several years at North Crafts

place of worship is on the line between
Seabrook and Hampton Falls, then foi

months ago they had removed to Rox
