A sweet laced woman and a sweet faced
child are wandering among the shipping
docks of the great city. The woman is
plainly drraeed, )>ut evidently in her best
aline, and there is a touch of gemilitv in
her finery, in the real lace collar, relics of
better day*, perhaps; the pearl earrings
and the neat gloves. The child is neau
ly dressed, too, and, as she clasps tie
woman's hands, looks lovo at her guar"
j.dian. But the woman's face is not at its
best now ; a careworn look, ami a laint
wrinkle upon the pale forehead that ayes
her and lessens the charm ot her fea
tures.
She is inquiring of the dockmen, of the
stevedore, of the loungers about -the
wharves, whether the brig Good Luck
lia3 coma in. She always receives the
same reply to her eagci questions, for the
brig Good Luck has be.Mi lost a month
ago. dashed on a lee shore and grouud
to pieces J>y the sea, and will never come
in—ucver—never more.
If thev told her she wouldn't believe
them, for the woman and her child have
supreme faith that the brig Good Luck
will come in soon wilhjeargo and crew,
though they have been asking the same
question and same prayer for mauy and
many a day.
Then she goes across the street and
winds her way alon«, r the bales and boxes
and passing carts, and through all the
hubbub and bustle of the and
cliirbs a flight of stairs to where the brig
owners have their are used
to seeing her They smile sadly] when
she enters with the child, and look signiK
leant ly at one another, as much as to say:
'Poor thing! she's mad. No wonder, no
wonder!'
Mad. Yes, she is mad with'hope de
ferred.' with anxiety to meet her hus> j
band, Caleb Shelter, master ol the brig J
Good Luck; to meet the master of the
brig, her husband and the father ot her
child. Why does he stay away from her
so long?
'ls the Good Luck in yet?' she asks of
a clerk.
•Not yet, ma'am.'
'She is expected, of course, to-day?'
•Ot course.'
'There's a vessel coming in now. 1 see
the tall masts. Look! Look pointing
out of llie officj window to the river
front. 'Maybe that's it!' Ellio, dear, look I
there's father's vessel, with lather on
board!'
The child clasps her little hands at the
sight.
'Sorry to say that ain't it, ma'am.' says
the cleik, relapsing into his calculations
and paying no more attention to the wo
man.
She stares out of an open window at
the approaching vessel drawn by a tug,
and then with a blank look upon her
lace, and a moan that ia heartrending,
says:
•No, Nellie, no! That is net the Good
Luck. I see the figure head. The figs
nre hoad of Good Luch is an angel; a
while aud gold angel. No, no, that isu'i
it. ,
'.But papa will soon come home, won k
he, mamma?' whispered the child.
Old Mr. Tawmau, who is the head of
the establishment here, now comes from
behind his desk, aud approaching the
woman, says In a kindly tone:
'Mrs. Shelter, sit down; make yourself
as comfortable as you can iu a dingy office
like this. Here, little one, como here,
give me a kiss. A bright, pretty little
dear, Mrs. Shelter.'
■'She looks pale,' said the mother.
•She i» tired; she has been walking too
mbeb.'
The old gentleman sits down and lifts
the little girl on fiis knees aod kisses bar.
She winds her anns about his neck and
exclaims:
•You'll tell n»y papa to come soon,
won't you I' v r* \ *>■ t ,
•Yes, -dear.' ii * K '
It was the habit of ibis firm to pay a
sort of pension monthly to Uie widows of
captains who were lost in their service.
It was not much ot a stipetd, being only
half pay, put It was certainly a blessing
in very many cases. Mrs. Shelter had aK
ways received her husband's money here,
while be was at sea. or it was sent to her
when she was sick or the weather was
bad. (' : i . *i •.
•Ah, Mr. Tawmen, I'm sure the Good
Luck will be In to-day.'
•Certainly it will. What's to hinder
itr be answers.
He pot tbe child down and goes over
to bis desk, and unlocking his drawer he
takes out an aecount book and begins
writing a receipt , Then goes over into
the cashier's room. While he is there the
telegraph clerk calls him over, i

'lt's like a message Irom God,' says
Mr. Tawman, reverently, «I must not tell
her.' "
lie comes back to where tho woman is
sitting, his face is flushed with emotion;
some strange excitement. He throws into
her lap a bundle of bank notes.
' 1 here, Mrs. Shelter, now go home.
Take a car at the door.'
'Oil. I'm not tiied. And I should like
to be here when the brig comes in. But
I thank you so much, so much.'
'Here, little one,' says the good heart
ed I iiwniaii, 'here's something toryou to
buy candieS"with.' He puts into her
tiny outstietched hand a bright quarter
ofa dollar, and laughs at the wonder and
delight of the little recipient.
'l'll keep this for my papa.'
Poor little tiling, she is weary unto
sleep. She cuddles herself iu the big
chair and sinks into slumber iu an ins
slant.
•Now. Mrs. Shelter, you've had uodiu
ner,' says Tawman.
'Oh, yes,«ir.'
'Yesterday, perhaps, buf I mean to
day. Go down with Mr. Pelton, there,
our young man, and get something to
eat. You see we have arrangements for
the comforts of our clerks. We give
them a hot dinner, and a good one,too.
There'# nobody there.'
'Go down there at.d ask the waiter,
George,' addressing Mr. Pelton, whom
he had summoned, to give this good la
dy a cup ot lea and a piece of toast,
some chicken, and all that. Then paus
ing a moment, as if propriety and |pbJN
anthropy, are struggling for mastery in
his mind.
'No, no, George. Tell Henderson to
send the dinner up into the room here,
that's better!' The young man loaves the
room. Then Mr. Tawman enters Ihe
office agaiu and consults the telegraph
operator.
'Send this message at once, Mr. Lind»
say if you please.' He writes something;
and the operator click* it off at once. It's
a long message. a ; very long message
indeed; but the presidents message itselt
is not ball so important, so interesting to
those whom it concerns.
Then by the time the message is sent,
the dinner is ready in Mr. Tawman'*
private office, when Mrs. Shelter partakes
ot it, but does not think proper to
waken the weary child that she may eat
also.
Then Mr.Tawman says: Nowyoahad
better go. I'll see to the child; 111
bring the little girl up with ine to night.
'No, no!' exclaims the mother. 1
must have my little Ellie with me always
sir. You are so very good, .hough, air;
so very good! And is there no news ot
the Good Luck?'
•Not a word, I'm sorry to say/ „
•It can't he possible. The brig must
come in to day.'
•I'm sure I hope so, with all my heart
and soul, Mrs. Shelter,'
•I know you do,' she responded with a
sigh.
•Now go. I'm sorry yon have to wa
key the child, but I suppose you ceu't
help it.
•Come, Ellie,' says the mother, touch
ing her lightly on the shoulber.
The child with a start awakens and
cries, 'ls it my papa? Dear, dear, papa.
Thou, seeiug her disappointment. >he
burst into tears.
•Don't cry, dear, don't cry. The brig
will come in. Don't cry P The good
old man speaks soothingly to the sobbing
child; and the mother catching her bend
walks slowly awl Badly ewajr, followed
by Mr. Tawman, who lifts the little girl
down stairs and helps both her and her
mother iuto a car.
The next morning the women is again
loitering about tbe wharvea with the
same agoniaiug inqnii y. She ng»ii» puts
the question to the wberfmen, and agaiu
only reoeives tbe same answer. Then,as
before she seeks the office of tbe brig
owners, still accompanied by her UtUo
girl and asks:
•Das tbe brig Good Luck come In
yetr
•Not yet, ma'an.'
Sbe sighs and looks out of the window
at the shipping. Bbe says she will wait
lor Mr. Tawman and sits down.
•I'm sorry tbe brig is'ut in yeti'
•Will it be in 10-divT^
•I hope so.' Aad be goes behind bit
desk »ud looks ofer his letters. He lies
not loug been engaged in his eorreipous
dence when a scream horn the woman
startles bini.
She has risen and Is pointing excitedly
out sftbe window.
'Here is a ship coming la, look!
look!.
•That's not it,' say* a cJerk that is a
schooner.*
•Oh, no!' adds Mr. Tawman,tbats not
the Good Lack.'
'lt is! It io! She darts from the office
dragging the child after her, runa across
the bustling wharf out to the very edge
of the waters
Mr. Tawman rushes to tho window,
opens it and calls to her. To iio purpose,
however. A|l the clerks cluster about
the window to catch her.
'The woman is mad !'Mya one." She
is going to drown herself.'
Tawman says quietly to the telegraph
operator:
'lt is the Mary.'
The schxmer is being lowed up the
river by a fug. She ijjnakitig prepara
tions to anchor in the stream opposite
the whurf. All this lime Mrs. Shelter ia
standing in the midst of the crowd of ex
cited people waving her handkerchief,
and «he little girl is waring hers. *
'Look! look there! There is a man
overboard! cried one of tbe clerks.
A cry of alarm goes up from tbe wbarf.
'Heavens!'exclaimed Mr. Tawman,
thoroughly aroused. 'What does thai
mean?' • . 1 .*■ \
■He is swimmiug like a fish,' says a
e'erk.
•He has landed- nark at (he cheers!'
'Look! look shouted the operator.
She is htigghijf.him: so is (he little girl.
It is Captain Shelter!'
'Thank God!' oxclsimed Tawman,
and prr.y heaven she may uot sink under
the shock. Poor woman. How she
clinjts to tbe* drenched mau. Dear!

Then lie puts on Ills hat and runa down
the stops like a boy, and darta over to
where husband and wile aud child are
united and happy.
'Ah! he exclaimed.shaking tbe cap-,
tain by tlie hand, and not caring for the
gaping and wonderlug crowd all around
this is good luck, isn't it, cb? Did yoo

When ibe man can speak be answers:
•Yes.' , ~—
'1 planned it all!' chaffers old Taw

from tbe Breakwater, saying tbat Capt.

My name is Robert Bos well. I am
about 32 or 33 years old. I was born and
raised in Caswell county, North Caroli
na. 1 was the slave of Mr. Thorn. Boe»
will.' After the surrender 1 worked four
or five years for varioos citizens of Car*
well county/amongothers Mr. Minjrard.
Mr. Jeremiah Lea, Mr. Cliealey Tarner
aud Mr. William Turner. 1 then came
to Orange county and worked for Mrs.
Green a short while, and then lor Mr.
Jsmes It. Biackwell. I lived on Mr.
Blackwell's place nearly all the time 1
stayed about Durham. 1 first met Nan*
nie Biackwell while working for Cbesley
Turner: she was living there at that
time. I then began to treat her aa my
wife, although we Were never married»
and wlieu i came to Orange county 1
brought her with me. We told people
we were married in order to keep from
brlug indicted. Slir rtly after i .vent to
Durham 1 got acquainted with licbacca
Anu Lyou. We both went t) live on Mr.
Blackwell's land about the same lime.
About eight or niufc months afterwards
we began to have to do wlih each other.
Matters went ou in that way for about
six montlis, when 1 began to go to ber
house and stay whenever her husband,
Ned Lyou, was away from home. She
did my oooking aud washing most of the
tin.e. 1 suppose we must have lived In
that manner four or five years, though I
lived with Nannie Biackwell part of the
lime. Wbenover I staid with Beck,
Nannie would complain and quarrel with
me. end Beck would complaiu with me
wbeu 1 staid with Nannie; so they kept
me in a fusa nearly ail the time.
About a year before Ned Lyon died.
Beck told me if he and Nannie were out
of the way, we might get marjleJ, and
said if I would Kill Nannie, she would
put eld Ned out of llie way. I agreed
to do it. ■ Some lime afterwards she
bought a bottle ol Crton oil and gave him
some in his dinner, it made him very
sick, but did not kUI him. She gave it
to him several limes afterwards but did
not sncceed. She then bought a box ot
rat poison from Mr. Ab. Tiuuevat Lyou
Jt Carr's drug store. Ned was then
working at Mr. Blackwell's fact or v. He
would not go hame at If o'clock, but she
frequently carried his dinner to him.
She mixed a doae ot the rat poison in his
dinner one day and canied u to him. He
ate it and was made mighty sick, and
Harry Sparkman bad to haul him home
in a wagon Bbe appeared to be very
sorry for Ned and sent and got some
medicine for him. But when she gave it
to him she won Id mix some ot tlie poison
with it. Ned lived for several days. Tlie
day before Ned died I went alter Dr.
Thomas, but he could not go, but sent
some medicine and Beck mixed some ol
the poison with it and gave it to him.
Ned told Bcek the day before be died
that she was the cause of his death, ami
it was the truth, tbo' tbose standing
around did know it. Beck Lyon showed
me the box containing the poison. The
ryison waa of a sort ol pinkish color, but
did not get a good look at it as some*
body waa coming and she put the box
back in her pocket very* quickly. Ned
died on time in -May,
about two and a half years ago. Tin j
night alter Ned died Beck sent lor me
and I staid all nigbt With her. She then I
12 1879
told me that she had done what she
agreed to do, and killed old Ned, and !
had to do my part and kill Nannie. ]
agreed to it, but put it ofl. She kept on
ultcr me, and she and >'armie kept quar
relling so much I tint I concluded to go
away. 1 went to Raleigh and worked
for Mr. Jeff fisher about a mouth and
returned to Durham and tried to get
Beck to go back with mc, but she refus
ed, and said she would havo nothing to
do with me unless 1 did what 1 said 1
would, and kill Nannie. 1 refused and
then went back to Raleigh. 1 wrote to
Beck time and again to come to ltalcigh,
but she would not. In August of the same
year, there was abig camp meeting about
two miles west' of Uillsboro, and, as
there wm to be an excursion to it, Iroiu
Raleigh, i determined to gn, hoping to
see Beck. When I got to Durham she
got on the train with Jim Cozart and
others. She would not Imve anything to
do with mo ou the train, but alter we
got to Hillsboro, while the preaching was
going on, she and I went to the spring
and walked some distance into the woods
and sat dowu ou the side of the hill.
She then began to abuse me about the
w ayl I had doue her, and said 1 had not
stood up to my promise; that kbe had put
old Ned out oUhfl way, and now I had
ran away ami rejt her; that she and her
children were sick and suffering. After
abusing me awhile, 1 told her I did not
want to do it,* but as I had agreed to it,
1 would stick to it*- Bhc iheu proposed
that 1 should poison her, but I told Iter
that oould not be done, that the best way
was to kill he*. """ me I bad bet*
ter mind. that a rope" would be put
neck. Wo timn agreed I should go
back to llalcgli fnid come up to Durham
next Saturday night. Slie told me to
come to ber bouse and let her know be
fore 1 did it, and 1 told her | would. We
then went back to where tin preaching
waa going on. When wo got on the
train, we talked about it agaiu before we
reached Durham. 1 went to R.-ilcigh,
and on tbe next Saturday some limo ar
ter dinner, I left. Ualeigh and walked up
lo Durham, reaching there about one or
two o'clock at iiiglit. Instead of going
to Beck's bouse. I went to Nanny's and
knocked at tbe door; she asked who
wasthere, I told Iter Tom Bailey; she
then said, 'Rob is away Irom home and
1 dou't let anyone in alter I have laid
down.' After talking awhile I told her
who I was, she let me in. I sal dowu
and talked with her awhile, she then got
up and walked out into tho yard aud
brought iu some clothes that were liangx
iug on the fence and put them iu a cor
ner. As the stooped dowu 1 struck her
with and old axe I had found in the yard
and knocked her down, 1 then cot ber
throat with tbe knife Bock had giyeu me
wbieh used to belong to Ned Lyon. I
then got started away and had gotten
near to the old well and saw Nanny com
ing oat of tlifl house, she got to the aaw
dust pile, when I caught her aud finished
her and picked.her np and carried tier to
tbe boase and laid her iu it. My oldest
bad waked up by this time aud tcld me
Nanny was bleeding, I picked bim up
and carried bim lo Beck's house. I went
to tbe back door, aud walked iu. The
light waa burning, and Beck was lying
ou tbe bed partly dressed; I waked " ber
up and told her I had killed Nanny, as I
had promised, and I wauted ber to take
care of my boy. She said: "You old
tool why did you not come here first aud
let me know about it, as you promised.
You will certainly be hung.' 1 iheu ask'
ed ber agaiu if sbo would take carc of
my boy. She aaid: 'No, take him away
from here. I have enough children
to take care of myselt." I iheu said be
fore tbev should stay by tlHSinselves i
would stick fire to the house and burn
them up, She then told me to go away,
and she would let me know when times
got better. She then kissed mc, and i
left. I took the boy back to the house
and put bim in it aud shut the door. 11
then set the house on fire and started
back to Raleigh, and reached Mr. fish- 1
er'a farm about 1 o'clock Sunday. 1 staid
there till Tuesday, when 1 was told that
a woman and children had,been murder
ed at Durham, aud I was thought to be
the one that did it, and had better leave.
Idid so and went to Wilson county, aud
then set in to work tor M. Winstead; (
then worked for Mr. Wells until I waa
arrested aud brought to Hillsboro.

with John Wilkes Booth, in 1865, in
tbe assassination of President Lincolu
and the attempt apon tbe life of Secre

told of the height to which publie indig
nation reached in Washington City at
that time, At this particular period
Maj. W." F. Halleck, of the TTuited
States service, having in charge two hun

demanded of him tbe body of one of

Seward. tfalleck's guard consisted
of net mere than fifty. He appealed in
vain to Use nob, assuring it that the
Payne who was then his prisoner WM not
tbe Payee who had stabbed the Secretary.
He was a«H believed and tbe fury ot the
crowd tna ased aud its determination to
have the psivner lecamo mauifeau Or

of them into its hands. His gr.nrd was
