Through Her Great Beauty.

Lady Hamilton. who. during the
latter part of the Eighteenth century.

tiles did much to change. history. was
born of blacksmith and q cook. The
time was to come when she was bed
fellow with the queen Of Naples. and
close friend to kings and princes. a.
well as the wife Of the British ambas-
sador to Italy. and mistress Of the
great Nelson, but It was A. Emma
Lyon that she began her career OF
mastering power and authority BY her
woman's beauty and wiles.
While walking along the street at
the age of sixteen she saw an old
schoolfellow in the hands Of q press
gang that was about to convey him
aboard q British ship bound for forced
service. She went to Captain Payne,
commander Of the ship. and begged
his release. The captaiE agreed-on
condition. The girl accepted 1t and
gave up her honor to save her friend.
The captain paid dearly for his act
shortly afterward. as the young beau
ty went about the town charging up
bills Of enormous amounts. and he
was forced to settle.
