You knew nothing then! You know nothing now! You took her from Washington because she fascinated you as she had fascinated all those other men.

 Motionless, but with straining eyes, the old man sat gazing at his daugh- ter.
 "Who-told you-that?" he gasped. She made no reply, sudden anxiety for him banishing every other emo ton. With a mighty effort, and be- fore she could prevent him, he arose and staggered forward.

The old man tore at his throat and gasped in mighty struggle for breath. My will!-my will!'' he cried, moving feebly towards his wife. She retreated, keeping just beyond his hand. "Give-me-back- the-ah-!" A look of unutterable horror rose to his face; he wavered, plunged forward, and would have fallen, but Brodnar took him in his arms and laid him on the floor. For a moment not sound broke the silence of the room.
 "Who-will = protect my daugh- ter?" he whispered. Frances, his hand in hers, knelt in agony by his side.
 Have no fear of me, my father; God has raised up defender!" Hear ing this, Brodnar suddenly thrust back the group, leaving the girl alone with the dying man, to whom she whispered earnestly and rapidly. As he lay looking into her face a new light came for a brief moment to his and vanished. Brodnar, kneeling, placed his ear above the motionless heart. The moments passed.
 'Dead!" he said at length, and arose. Raymond Holbin had paused at the door. He turned and ex- changed glances with his mother and passed out.
 Frances lay with her face upon the dead mans breast. --

New York, March 25.-The Journal
Of Commerce says: The new can cen-
solidation went into practical opera
tion today. the work OF taking over
and paying for the constituent proper
ties having been completed on Sat-
urday. The various plants will from
now on be operated for the American
Can company Pending the transfer
of the properties quotations on cans
were withdrawn. 1t is now intimated
that the new price list will show a
substantial advance, and it Is also re-
ported that the American Tin Plate
company is about to make an advance
in tin plate prices.
1t Is probable that Edwin Norton Will
be president of the new company and
that W. II. and ]. H. Moore will be
members of the board of directors. It
is further said that the American Tin
Plate company will have representa-
tives on the new board.
An interesting feature of the con-
solidation, it is understood, is that all
the vendors have signed an agreement
not to engage In the manufacture Of
tin cans within 1900 miles OF Chi
cago for a period of Is years.

BIG TIN CAN CONSOLIDATION
GOES INTO OPERATION TO-DAY
All The Vendors Have Signed an agreement Not to En-.
gage in Manufacturing Within 1900 Miles
Of Chicago Prices to Advance

1t is known that subscribers to the
underwriting syndicate, so-called, re-
ceived 100 shares each of preferred and
common stock for every $4,000 cash
paid in. The vendors were asked to
name their respective prices on a cash
basis, then later were offered the
choice of receiving cash or preferred
stock to an equal amount of the cash
price, with a bonus of common stock
to the same amount. Il is understood
that 75 per cent or more OF the ven
dors took stock
Judging from the manner in which
the American Tin Plate company, and
in fact, the new industrials generally
have been financed, there is reason to
assume that the organizers Of the new
company will receive a large amount
OF stock as commission for their SER
vices. Inasmuch as the respective
vendors have bees treated with sepa-
rately the total cost Of all the proper
ties included is known to only a few
insiders" II is said that the new tin
can consolidation will control practi-
cally the entire can industry Of the
United States so far as manufacturing
