head, and turning to boy, she said:

twinkle in his eye, 'is to ring the bell

Shortly afterward the old lady reach

gave 1t a vigorous pull. The train was

windows were thrown up, questions
asked, and confusion reigned among
the passengers. The old lady sat

Presently the conductor came run

the latter two years Of the war the
subject Of erecting mints for the COIN
age Of silver and gold was discussed.
and Baumgarten was sent to England
to make the necessary arrangements
for doing this. He was furnished with
credentials to persons in England and
drafts on the London fiscal agent OF
the Confederate States. amounting to
more than 92,000,000, with which to
purchase machinery.
He went from Richmond to Will
mington, where the start to run the
blockade was to be made. Presenting
his credentials to the officer In charge
Of the port, he was put aboard a block
ade runner due to get out at the first
favorable opportunity.
After waiting an entire day. Mr.
Baumgarten approached the captain
and asked the reason for the delay.
The captain handed him pair Of ma
rine glasses and told him to take a
look The glasses revealed fourteen
Yankee gunboats lying off the harbor
In q semi circle.
DO you think you'd try to get
through that?" asked the captain. I'VE
can only go under the most favorable
conditions. and am ready, rather than
be captured, to blow up the ship and
all on board"
The vessel had a cargo Of cotton,
and most of the bales were ranged up
on the decks along the rails, fastened
together with chains and forming a
bulwark about the height Of mans
head, being splendid protection
against a cannon shot. Mr.. Baumgar-
ten was led to a spot Immediately over
the forecastle. There the captain, lift
ing a tarpaulln which covered the
deck, displayed to the astonished gaze
of Mr.. Baumgarten about six bushels OF
coarse gunpowder, which the captain
said was to be used in blowing every
body to hell II capture seemed inevit-
able"
At midnight the blockade runner
started. Bermuda was reached safely.
but Mr.. Baumgarten had to wait there
for two weeks to get vessel to Liv-
erpool, and this delay proved disas-
.rous to him In a financial way.
An uneventful voyage brought him
to Liverpool and thence to London,
There he presented his credentials and
drafts and sought to get down to busi-
ness at once. The fiscal agent, how
ever, was out of funds, and handing
him G200 In gold as pocket money d.
rected him to put up at the Queen
Hotel. where all his expenses would be
paid until news could be received from
Richmond.
What the fiscal agent next heard
from Richmond was the news Of the
downfall Of the Confederacy This left
the fiscal agent and Mr.. Baumgarten
In the lurch. but Mr.. Baumgarten was
provided with a ticket to Paris and a
letter Of introduction to Mr.. Slidell,
