Startled, but not greatly alarmed. Ingot
raised the fainting girl and placed her on a
sofa in the room. Then he bent his efforts
toward reviving her, not wishing TO call
any one until the matter between them
should be settled.
1t was only natural she should be over
come by all these terrible events, AID the
sight of her suffering, while it touched him,
brought up the evil passions in the mans
breast.
"Why couldn't she give in without max.
ing me go to such lengths?" he m uttered.
"ldon't want to hurt her, I'd rather be
kind to her. but she gives me Eo choice.
She'll end in making me turn against her as
I've turned against him, the traitor! Just
to think how he played it on ms But I'll
get even with them both, Ill briGg theG. to
time, if I pay the heaviest price fer it."
He grew uneasy at last, Carols swoon
lasted so long, but still he would not call for
aid. He opened a window and let the cold
air blow in, rubbed the little nerveless
hands between his own, and vet the pale
lips with water which he found Il the room.
His efforts were rewarded atlasr. She drew
c long, quivering breath, and opened her
eyes, to shudder at sight Of aim bending
over her.
AZ remember she gasped. "Oh, you

All over the mans face flashed a sudden
light of triumph and rapture.
II won't do one solitary thing against
him, my pet; l will do every II ing for him
if you give in like that. Dc,.'t make me

be hard on YOU"
"Tell me- she said. weakly, "tell me
every thing all"
He regarded her. uneasily.
"Idon't think you are strohg enough yet,
my dearest. And l don't SEQ that there is
any need worrying you more IAN you are

"Tellme!'

"He wanted to get on an even footing with

May be It will tighten this tro4 pie for you to
know that he did put it all IN the business
Idon't believe he kept back u dollar for his

Missouri's State Flag.


ST. Louis, April Sin an effort
to rescue from oblivion the fact
that Missouri had IA flag some SO
years ago, ! addressed a note of in
quiry to my old friend-I mean a
friend for, say several years-Col.
VIM. F. Switzler, now of Washing
ton City, who sends me the fol-
lowing.
Please publish it for the informa-
ton Of the kids" who never
knew the facts, and the old gener-
ais and colonies, who have totally
forgotten them.
d. H. ARMSTRONG.
To the Editor OF the journal nf Commerce.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25,
1SS9.-Describe the coat ofarms of
the State of Missouri, give a his
tory Of its adoption and the reason
why the original flag on which it
Was painted Was white silk.
w. F. S.
REPLY-The Missouri Constltu-
ton of 1920 directed the Secretary
of State to keep and care for such
great seal of the State of Missouri
as might atterward be adopted by
law. On January IL, 1922, the
Legislature enacted that 1.-the de-
vice for an armOrial achievement
tor the State Of Missouri shall be
as follows, to-wit: arms, parted
per pale, on the dexter side (; gutes,
the white or grizzly bear of Mis-
souri,, PEASANT g%uardant, proper on
a chief e~ngraiied azure, a crescent
argent on the sinister side argent,
the arms of the United States !; the
whole within a band inscribed with
the words, United we stand, di-
vidtd we fall For the crest over
a helmet full-faced, grated with six
bars, on a cloud proper, from
which ascends a star argent, and
above it a constellation of23 small
er stars argent on an azure field,
surrounded by a cloud proper. Sup
porters on each side, a white or
grizzly bear of Missouri, rampant,
guardant proper, standing on a
scroll, inscribed with the motto,
'Salus populi Suprema ler esto,' and
under the scroll the numerical let
tiers MDCCCXX. And the great
seal of this State shall be so en-
graved as to present by its impress
sion the device of the armorial ac-
chievement aforesaid, surrounded
by a scroll inscribed with the
words The Great Seal of the
State of Missouri in Roman CAPT,
tails, which seal shall he in a cir
, cular form and not more than two
and a half inches in diameter
The subsequent constitutions o
) the State have all adopted this seal
and declared it Interchangeable Ivy
law. The reason for making the
, flag on which the seal was original.
: ly painted of white silk, was prob.
ably because the colors OF this de.
! vice would show to better advan'
tage upon a background of white
, than upon any other.

promise to marry me. at once, or the officers
of tho law shall know what hold they have
on him within the hour"
Carol wrung her hands together in an
agony of grief. horror and despair.
What has he done." she asked, again,
her burning gaze fixed upon him compelling
nn nswer.
Ingot gave Il short, s~cornfal laugh.
"What has he dones Robbed Mr.. Ever
leigh of the money which he has palmed Off
as your fortune and his. Your saint who
could do No wrong was nothing else than Il
common thief and liar-no. a most uncom-
mon one, for he succeeded in keeping all

should make you marry me by hook or crook.
He promised, ana took my plan up to the
very last turn-mcauing all the while to get
out of it in this way, it may bc-but l tell
you l am not gong to have it so.n
He had repressed the violent signs of his
anger by this time. and was speaking calm
~, but with set, inflexible purpose which no
pity could move.

of it. he would have beaten me, there's no
denying it, but as the matter stands l have
the game in my hands"
He paused, regarding her %curiously, but
Carol did not move. She sat like n
unned.
There's a fair chance of his living,so the
doctor says, if all things work ~favorably,"
Ingot resumed. What chance do you sup
pose there will be if he gets back his senses
only to find himself disgraced and ruined.
You hold his fate forhim, life or death, in
your hands. Now, which shall it be-"
She lifted her eyes at last, deep and dark
with the anguish which was wringing her
young, tender heart. She tried to speak.
She threw out her hands with al Inpulsive,
repelling gesture, waving him away from
her. then suddenly she grew blind and deaf
to the sight of his hateful face, the sonnd
of his hateful tones. She dropped, and fell
~faInting ut his feet.

In 1887. he beat all of ky's. stations, In the

Only a century ago charcoal iron
was produced to the extent of about
80, 900 tons yearly; twenty years later
tie product was but SO, 900 tons. Even
Great Britain in 17SS produced only
IS, 300 tons-not so much as some fur
mace in the United States now turn
out yearly. The manufacture of steel
was just beginning in the States;
twenty years later only 917 tons were
produced in the country. The coarsest
pig iron hen cost about as much as
steel rails do now. Last year the
American product Of pig iron was
$3.50, 739 tons, and the highest price of
best foundry pig was $21 n ton. The
output of steel rails was in round
numbers 1850, 600, and the best price
S31.5 so. A single American railway
nov buys more iron than both Great
Britain and the United States made a
century ago. There were neither rail
ways, iron bridges nor buildings; no
petroleum pipes, for there was no
petroleum; no gas pipes, for there was
no gas lighting even in Europe until
later.
Washington lived in an age of dark
ness; instead of the electric light the
people had candles costing about two
cents apiece. In all the departments
and applications of chemistry the cen
tury has simply created a now world.
American pressed glass, which has
completely revolutionized the supply
of table and house ware, is an inven-
ton of the last sixty years. Farming
in Washington's day knew nothing of
machinery; even the first iron pillow,
patented in 1897, was q failure, for
New Jerusalem farmers thought it
poisoned the soil. Mowers, reapers
and harvesters began to be invented
about the same time, and even the or
binary implements were such as it
would not now be thought possible to
use. The steamboat was practically
unknown, and the railway entirely
until forty years later the cost of trans
portation by wagon confined the area
of possible production with profit, as
TO most crops, TO the margin of navi-
gable waters. In fact, a new world
has been created in this century

BALTIMORE, Aug, l0.-A special from
Washington gives an interview with
DIR. Hammond relative to the Brown
Sequard elixir of life. He declared that
the sensational publications about this
new preparation we're not authorized or
justified in any way. The doctor asserted
that the new remedy was believed to be
of the nature of a tonic which it was
thought would be beneficial, especially to
old people. He denounced the foolish
story that it was aomething that was going
to prolong life indefinitely or restore old
people to youth. Neither he nor Brown
Seauard had ever called it the elixir of
life.
CINCINNATI, Aug. l0.-Dr. Harper OF
the city infrmary has tried Brown
Sequard's elixir on five inmates of the in
Urinary. They were all infirm men of
over 10 years OF age, except me-, who
was about 40, but he was "a rheumatic
cripple. The doctor reports that only one
observed any result whatever and he said
he felt like he had taken an alcoholic
stimulant. The doctor concludes that re
suits found elsewhere are the result OF
mental excitement.
