Sloop of War st. Louis.
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The sloop Of war st. Louis which lies in
the Delaware river at Philadelphia, is about
to be handed over to the junk dealer. She
was old at the beginning of the rebellion,
but she did good service then on several ex-
petitions, and in the latter part of the war
she stood guard at various ports on the At
lantic and in the gulf which were supposed
to be menaced by the rebels. Even at that
time many decades OF history looked down
upon her. Back in the spacious times of
John Quincy Adams she was launched at
the Washington navy yard, and In the en-
suing forty or fifty years she sailed all the
worlds seas, fought pirates, explored
strange waters and served in the Mexican
and rebellion wars.
Today the OLD soop of war ST. Louis is
not even name, but there was a time
when she figured conspicuously in the head
lines OF all the big newspapers on the globe,
and when she became an issue in American
and European diplomacy. Martin Koszta, a
Hungarian rebel Of 1849 who fed to- the
United States on the overthrow OF Kossuth
and his cause, took out his preliminary
citizenship papers here, and then, going to
Turkey on business, was seized by the Aus
trian consul at Smyrna and put on board
an Austrian frigate. That was in 1858.
Capt. Duncan N. Ingraham, with the st.
Louis, cruising In the neighborhood, learned
the facts notified the American consul gen.
eral at Constantinople, and was told that
he ought to demand Koszta's release. In
graham requested the Austrian captain to
give him up and, on the request being re-
fused, he declared that unless the prisoner
was surrendered by 4 O'Clock that afternoon
he would take him by force. At the same
time he got his vessel into position, cleared
his decks and was about to open fire. when
the Austrian captain handed the prisoner
over to the French consul. pending an ex-
animation of the case. This was satisfac-
tory to Ingraham and resulted in kosztas

anum at all-namely, those overmastering
headaches At that, for the only time, he
interrupted her.
"Quite So" he said. II gave him the pre-
scrption myself"
Then the tale became harder Of telling.
She told him of the intercepted bottle, OF
the growth Of his suspicious of her, and the
certainty of her suspicion of him, Of the
crowning insult. And when she finished
there was silence.
She was prepared nowhere was no rea-
son to break or conceal things.
THE opium habit, even when one takes 1t
quite early" he said, "is the most difficult
thing in the world to cure-give me ten
drunkards, and / will cure eight, but give
me ten opium-eaters and 1 may cure one.
God knows why it Is so, Lady Thurso, but
this particular drug, this poppy of the field,
binds body and soul in a way that nothing
else-not alcohol or sensualism-binds. And
your husbands case has not been taken
early; it has been taken, as far as l am
concerned, at the last gasp, when he was
nearly dying"
And now be brave again. he said. He
might have died this morning. 1t might
have been better if he had 1t might have
saved suffering and misery to himself and
those about him. OF course one cannot, and
1 do not, say that any case Is incurable,
because, thank God, miracles do happen.
But as he gets stronger again from this at
tack, SO, too, will his craving for the drug
get stronger. Unless you absolutely shut
him up he will find means of getting 1t,
and he will probably begin with small doses

other matter that concerned her Just as

other matter that concerned her Just as
vitality.
DO you mean that if-if we resist any
thing our powers of resistance are In
creased?" she asked.
Sir James took in this also. His eye,
trained to observe obscurities. saw she was
not thinking for the moment of her hus-
band.
Certainly that is So" he said, Just as
the absence of resistance, the yielding,
Weakens our power of resistance. The
strong body Is built up by resisting, and SO
l venture to say is the strong soul"
noting down, so to speak, in her mind how
1t concerned that of which the doctor knew
nothing.
Tell me all you fear about Thurso." she
said quietly Tell me what you think the
end will be, and when. l gather that you

said So Now I want to hear from you

he gets stronger, as said, the craving will
