Omitted States of America. One Dollar"
The trade dollars were coined from 1873 to
1883 inclusive, under very peculiar circum-
stances. American merchants, trading with
Asiatic and South American ports, were seri-
ously hampered for lack of suitable cur
rency. The standard dollar of 412 grains
was light weight, and would not pass current
| outside of the United States, and so these
traders appealed to Congress to coin trade
dollar of 42O grains, stamping on it its weight
and ineness.
1t was really an ingot of silver and not
intended for circulation in this country at
all. But, somehow, the trade dollars flow
ed back to this country. and for a time
hoated at par, until their legal standing was
discovered. then they dropped to so or 80
cents.
This decrease gave rise to clamor that
the government should redeem the trade dol
lars, and eventually Congress passed law
to that effect. At the present day trade dol.
lars are only worth their bullion value
Upon the diverse side of the trade dollar
was Liberty seated upon a cotton bale, facing
left; in her extended right hand an olive
branch; in her left, scroll inscribed lib.
erty;' behind her a sheaf of wheat; be-
meath, a scroll inscribed ''In God We Trust"
the reverse side an eagle with expanded
wings; in its talons, three arrows and an
olive branch; above, a scroll inscribed "E
Pluribus Unum;" beneath, on the field, APO
In 1886, 1888 and 1889 some designs were
struck off, but none of them were accepted
or put into general use About thousand
1886 dollars were circulated in this way.

And the tug bore away from the sinking
steamer. Every available space was crowded,
with passengers, who watched with frighten-
ed eyes the vessel which had borne them SO
proudly only short time before, now a
broken, useless, sinking hulk, its pride gone
foreverl
But suddenly cry of horror went up from
the rescued passengers. There. upon the up
per deck, near the pilot-house, stood portiy
man and slight boy, the man gesticulating
wildly, the boy standing straight and motion
less.
1t was Rob Archer and one of the passen-
gers of the ill.fated steamer.
Put back!' shouted Reddy White, as he
recognized the boy on the half-submerged
steamer
NToo late now answered the captain;
shes just ready to take her last plunge"
When Rob Archer regained his feet after
the shock of the collision, he was close up to
the shattered side of the excursion steamer;
and scarcely knowing what he did, he clamb-
cred on board the steamer. Then the tug
drew away and the cry went up that the
larger vessel was sinking.
While the women and children were being
transferred to the tug-boat, Rob ran up on
the promenade deck, which was quite desert
ed, thinking that he had plenty. of time. to
follow the escaping passengers. He heard a
voice call on the opposite side of the steamer
from the tug, and, looking over the rail- saw
box.
The steamer had settled so that her lower
deck was nearly level with the water, and
Rob seizing coil of rope, fastened to the
rescue of the unfortunate passenger, who had
been sitting on a camp-chair half Prleep, and
had tumbled overheard when the shock came
It was not difficult matter to assist him
on board the sinking steamer, and in very
short time he stood putting and blowing upon
his rather unstable place of refuge.
"Next time | ont of these ctaa

self like great dog.
81 think we had best get on board the
tug" said Bob. "All the others have gone"
"Mercy on US, yesl Let's hurry" cried
the drenched man.. who was of an exceedingly
rotund build
But the tug boat had drawn away to some
distance, and at Robs suggestion they made
their way to the upper deck, where the man
signaled frantically to the heavily loaded tug.
Have we got to drown here?" he asked,
piteously, seeing that no move was made for
his rescue, and feeling the deck surge and
sway beneath his feet.
'I'm afraid we have" replied Rob, the light
cheeks were like marble "Are you afraid to
die?"
"Don't talk to me of death! I'm not ready
to die" cried the man. Lets jump over
board"

satisfied with the work it had done, lifted
slowly, and the bright August sun smiled Sc

A number of the bystanders laughed, and
Reddy said, apologetically:

Then he looked up at the clock on the Old
South.

And the man and the boy turned down
Milk street, and fastened toward the wharyes.

walked hurriedly along.
Rob related in brief manner the events
which had transpired since the trial before
the backwoods justice.

finished. HE was terrible good feiier' l d

Rob wanted to ask some questions regard

They came down upon the wharf, and the
smell of the salt water hoated in on the
misty breeze.
Fog lay in heavy banks upon the harbor,
shutting out the view of the islands, and
rendering navigation exceedingly hazardous.
and on board of this Reddy clambered, and
assisted Rob to do the same.

Rob ArCher'S Trials

IF it slips says I, well go down through
the rips together.
1--WE reached the upper end as the log COM
menced to swing around. knowed our only
salvation lay in the end Of the log stickin' to
the rock, so as to swing us near the shore so
we could jump off. Zeb was right at the end
of the log an l was jest behind him. The
old man KEEP eyin' the shore terrible eager,
an faster. We was almost to the shore, when
l felt the log lurch back, an knowed the
other end had slipped from the rock.
Jump" | yelled, an gave old Zeb
boost.
Gle landed onto the shore, an / splashed
into the water, almost in reach Of the rocks
as l swept by. I'm powerful good swim
mer, give me any show; but tell you when
knowed I'd got IT, go through them rips l
wouldn't. a paid much premium on my
chances"
"Swimmin' through cataract like that,
with heavy driving boots ON, full of steel
corks, want no laughin' matter. But my
time hadn't come, an l pulled through some
way. I didn't happen to hit any rocks, an,
there want many logs, but was mighty
shaky for good many days. If that log
hadn't slipped. we'd got ashore all right. "
"How did Zeb get on the rock?' asked
Rob.
@Tn tell ye," replied Reddy he 1,; was
lost his peavey, an to save himself from
goin' into the water, jumped onto the log. 1t
run so near the rock that he got off onto it. !"
At this moment something doomed up in
the fog beside them, whistle shrieked and
the clash of paddle wheels sounded. The
steamer looked of immense &ze as she swept
by.

DIV. 'I guess well soon be clear of them"
"Did you hear how my father was before
Won left the driver" asked Rob, after a short
silence, during which they tried to peer into
the almost impenetrable mist.
"Leme seel Yes; l did hear Mr.. Stod-
dard say
Further conversation was checked by sud-
den exclamation from Rob. Straight on ahead
a huge, black object was dimly visible through
the fog whistles sounded, and the voices of
women could be heard
With a crash the vessels met. The shock
threw Rob and Reddy from their feet to the
deck of the tug, while on board the larger
steamer, which was an excursion boat, the ex-
element was terrible.
The shrieks of women and children and the
orders and cries of men, mingled with the
hiss of escaping steam, would have appalled,
the stoutest heart.
The tug had crashed into the side of the
excursion steamer just forward of the wheel
house. the steamer being sde-wheeler, and
for moment no one could tell which was the
more injured.
The tug drew away, and then it was found
that the excursion boat was settling rapidly,
a great hole being stove in her side.
Immediately the tug-boat lay alongside, and
the passengers were rapidly transferred to
the staunch little craft.
AS they came hurTiedly on board, Reddy
looked about him for Rob. The boy was no
where in sight
The wind was freshening from the south,
and the fog rolled up In masses, like huge
clouds upon the water.

From 1866 to 1873 the same design was used,
the words "In God We Trust" being added
above the eagle.
From 1874 to 1877 none were issued, and
the next design accepted was the present one
in use, which was struck off for general use
in 1878 On the diverse side we have the
Liberty head facing left, upon which is cap,
wheat and cotton wreath, and a band in
scribed Liberty. Above the band the words

Now, on fresh water, I'm right to home.
Would you like to hear how nigh come to

Eyes," said Rob, though he longed to ask q
vital question in regard to the money he had
been charged with stealing. He would find
out before they returned, and perhaps Reddy
would enhghten him without asking. At any
rate he hated to PROFOUND the question:
The tug was picking her way cautiously
down the harbor, as Reddy began his story.
well, ye see, we was runnin' down Bull
Creek late in April, an Zeb Doe-you remem-
Der him-was a-tendin' wing jam jest above
the rips, where you kim SO nigh bein' dround-
ed. | was a sackin' the shore" (walking
along the bank of the stream and rolling in
stray logs), when / kim down to the wing
jam where old Zeb was. 1t was made to
sheer off the logs, which was runnin' scatter
in like, but Zeb want on the jam. On
ahead the waters rushed an billed through
the rips fur quite a piece, an then below
they w1dened out where our wagon upset
last fall. At the head of the rips was big
rock that stuck out of the water when the
stream want very high, an the wing jam
served to sheer the logs an run 'em by this
rock, as well as keep 'em off the pint on
which 'twuz built.
Fright out there on that rock was perched
Zeb Doe, with no peavey nor han spike, nor
nothin' lookin' as forlorrf as a wet hen in
the dam a mile or two above, an the stream
was a-risin' fast, an | knowed 'twouldn't be
long fore the rock would be under water an
poor Zeb go a-sweepin' down through the
rips,
''The rock want morn two feet above the
water, when Zeb seen me. He whooped an
holleered like a wild man, an / seen there

white-headed Zeb Doe Grounded Most of
the logs was sawed up short-twenty foot or
so long-but in the wing jam was one log nigh
onto forty feet long, an loosened this an
swift, an I headed it straight for the rock
where Zeb was There wasn't soul in sight
an thought the chances was that Zeb an
would both leave this world with no one to
stan by our watery death-bed.
81 KEEP the log steady as I could an balan-
ced myself with my peavey, while poor old

log lay right straight up stream, a-shiverin'
from the force of the blow, an 1 grabbed
Zeb, an shouted:
Come now! We've got to hurry up the
log, an when it swings we'll jump ashore if

was mighty good on his feet for an old man.
