were waiting for them Young Ed wards and his friend gave chase, caught Blood. and after a fight, threw him down, the crown falling from under his gown and rolling in the ditch.
 Blood's companions were also taken A ruby from the scepter was found in the pocket of one. Little harm had been done except to the old keeper, who had been wounded beyond recov- cry.
 King Charles affected to consider the affairs as a joke. He sent to the tower for Blood who had been locked up. and not only pardoned him. but rewarded him with money and gave him pension equal to S2,500 a year. ished, and Blood became one of the most assiduous courtiers at King Charles court to the great disgust of honest men.
 meted out to him. It seems there were certain people who had fixed an imputation of a most scandalous ma ture upon the duke of Buckingham. Whether this was conducted by Blood or whether a plot was set on foot to trap Blood has never been ascertained. His grace, it was generally sup posed, who was a patron of the Col onel, thought to clear himself by contributing to the latter's ruin.
 The notion Blood induced the world to entertain of this affair, may be discovered from the case what he caused to be printed of 1t: but the Court of Kings Bench viewed the af- fair in so different light that he was convicted, upon criminal information, for the conspiracy, and committed to the Kings Bench prison; and willie in custody there he was charged with an action of "scandalum magnatum" at the suit of the duke of Buckingham, in which the damages were laid at f 10, ,000- Notwithstanding this. Col. Blood found bail, and was discharged from prison.
 His imprisonment and other trou- bles brought on an illness which re- suited in his death on Aug. 24, 1880. Such was the notion entertained by the English people of this mans subtlety and restless spirit that they could neither be persuaded that he would be quiet in his grave, nor would they permit him to remain so, for they compelled the authorities to take up his body to make sure he was really dead, for many believed that 1t was another trick of the versatile fellow to throw the public off his track.

Influencing Alicia
TRIAL OF THOMAS BLOOD.

The attempt of Thomas Blood, who
 was generally called Colonel Blood,
 to steal the crown jewels of England
 has led to a considerable amount of
 controversy in an effort to show that King Charles H. had some hand in the
 plot. Charles was The Merry Mon
 arch" and was frequently in need of money, and in order to replenish his
 treasury it has been supposed by some
 that he fell in with the scheme ad-
 vanced by Colonel" Blood to seize the
 Jewels and divide with the king the
 proceeds of their sale abroad.
 The fact that Blood, though caught
 was pardoned by Charles and re-
 warded for a crime that would have cost any common thief his head gives color to the theory of the kings con- nivance in the attempt. But Blood was
 well suited to such an undertaking and
 his trial created no end of interest throughout the kingdom.
 Blood was soldier of fortune and had spent a rather adventurous life up to the time of the jewels episode. He was then 42 years of age and he and his desperate companions were badly these fellows the theft of the crown jewels and they readily accepted the proposal.
 Blood devised the scheme of putting himself into the habit of doctor of divinity. Thus clad, and with a wo-
 
 see the curiosities in the tower, and while they were viewing the regalia, the supposed Mrs. Blood was suddenly taken Ill and Blood requested Mir. Ed wards, the keeper of the regalia, to assist her with some refreshments.
 Edwards complied with the request and the pair took their leave with l many expressions. of gratitude. A few days after Blood returned and presented Mrs. Edwards, the keep arsc xxri rxrtt fnIIr tru gloves in return for her kindness. This ! wrs ready to carry out his scheme. Although the tower had many guards. Edwards was the only one in charge again with some friends to whom he wished to show the jewels. Under his clergyman's dress he carried arms. His acquaintan were also armed. They seized the old man when his back was turned, and throwing cleak over his head, they gagged and bound him. On his resisting they stabbed him,
 They then seized the crown, the jewel orb representing the world, and the scepter. This was so long they were obliged to file it, to break it into two parts before ..concealip~ it. The work took so long they were in- terrupted by the old mans son, who was returning from a journey, and was accompanied by a friend. The thieves dashed out of the tower. fired at a guard at the gate and made their way to the street, where horses
