or of the Immortal
band of patriots
who pledged their lives, their fortunes
and thulr sarred honor for the support
of tho American cause.
Charles Carroll's grandfather and
namesake, the first of the name In
America, came to America from lr--Innd
In li;ss, after the dethronement
3t James II. of England destroyed th
hopes of the Catholic party In Orcat
llrltaln. He was appointed lonl Bal
timore's chief agent In the colony and
received from the lord propel, tor of
Maryland grants of land amounting to
30.000 acres. He died in l72n, leaving
I wo sons. Charles, the elder brother,
Inherited most of the family estate.
Charles Carroll, the third and most
Illustrious of his name, was born at
Annapolis In 17.17. At the ago of eight
lie. was sunt to Europe to be educated,
ind after nineteen years spent in the
colleges of I-Vance and England he
returned home In 17CI, when the col
onies were in a condition or growing
discontent .under the exactions of the
homo government. Ills long absence
abroad had not lessened bis love for
his native land and be threw himself
heart and soul into the arena to light
for American rights. In the war of
pamphlets that preceded the Declara
tion of Independence Charles Carroll
took a leading part and was recog
nized as one of the ablest writers on
tho patriot side. Although be had
more at stake than any other mau In
Maryland, or perhaps in the whole
-oantry he advocated the boldest iupih
ureH. It was be who advised the burn
ing or tne reggy Stewart, in broad
daylight, In Annapolis harbor, when
thai vessel arrived there with a cargo
of the obnoxious tea. It was owing
to Ills indefatigable exertions that the
Maryland delegates In Congress weie
Instructed to vote for Independence.
Soon after his airivel in this country
bis father gave him Carollton manor
In Ann Arundel county and from that
time he wns known as Charles Carroll
of Carrollton. Ho was among the
ilrst to sign tho famous document
which John Qulncy Adams described
as "unparalleled in the annals of man
kind." .John Hancock. In conversation
with the Maryland delegate, asked him
If bo was prepared to put bis nnine
to the bold declaration. "Most willing
ly," was tho reply, and .Mr. Carroll
took up the pen and signed it there
and then. "There go a few millions."
said a bystander, and all were agreed
that In point of fortune none had more
to risk. For twenty-llvo years after
signing the Declaration of Indopend
aiico the life of Cliarles Carroll was one
of ontlro devotion to bis state and
country. His public career may thus
bo summed mi: Member of the first
committee of observation, twice in the
convention of Maryland, twice a dele
gate to Congress, once chosen United
States senator and four times a state
senator. In 1717 he built the country
seat, Doughoregan manor, which to

Though,
It Is a fact that not very many years
ago her majesty escaped complete
llnnnclal ruin by a mere chance, says
Peaivon's Weekly. Tho failure of a
certain great bank Is within every
body's recollection. It eanio like a
thunderbolt upon tho whole commercial
world. Tho deficit was not to bo
counted in hundreds of thousands, hut
in millions of money. As for the i.nure
holders In the unlimited company, they
were liable, Individually, to tho whole
extent or the bank's debt. That Is to
say, the owner or a 10 note Hhare was
a part dobtor or tho (5.000.000 or
7,000,000 that the bank was short.
This, or course, meant hopeless ruin
to the very richest of thorn. Tho first
call swept away the savlngo of a llfe
thno of tho widow and orphan. In n
short time tho weight of the debt bad
attacked and swallowed up the middle
class holders of shares. Then, grind
ing as slowly and surely as "the mills
of tho godB," It reached tho capitalist
and millionaire and left them sucked
dry nnd penniless. It mattered noth
ing whothor they had ono share or a
hundred, the result was tho Bame
hopeless ruin.
Now it happened that some tlmo be
fore tho failure a loyal Scotchman had
died, bequtnthlng sundry shares In this
bank to tho queon. Her advlHers sat
long In council conn! lorlng this be
quest, and her fate trc iled in tho bal
ance. At last they clouded that It was
beneath her dignity to hold shares In
a commercial undertaking. Hut the

Brady had been connected with the
pay coips of the navy for nineteen
years when ho dlsappcaied. At that
time he was attached to the I'nlted
Mates cruiser Charleston. The vessel
was stationed in South American
waters and Brady came home on a
leave of absence. One evening Just
previous to the time for him to return
lo Ills ship he went nut and has never
returned. Ills wir. and daughter, the
bitter then three years of age. hne
walled patiently, but in vain, for near
ly two years, hoping that he might re
turn or send them some message.
A few weeks ago Mrs, Brady wrote
.o the navy department Inquiring about
her missing husband. The reply did
not come until last week. It was
brief and staled that James Brady was
not In the navy at the present time and
nothing had been known or him In thai
department since 1S1M, when he was
Utnched lo the cruiser Charleston.
Mrs. Brady when asked for her story
by a reporter was very much surprised
to hear that knowledge of the strange
llsappearnnco of her husband had been
made public nnd at laid the blame
upon the navy department.
"It was Just two years ago tills com
ing November," said Mrs. Hiady last
evening, 'when Mr. Brady left Ills
home. All I know In that be kissed me
one night anil went out nnd I have
never heard of him or from lilm since,
lie was home on leave of absence nil

home he hud considerable money mid
some jewelry. Including a watch a:id

bad returned to his ship, but I noon
round that this was not true, never
told the police, becnuse I always
thought he would come back. It Is too
late now for the police to be ublo to
discover any trace nl' him. .My friends
have often advised me to have detec
tives placed on the hunt for him, bill
my faith htm been strong that be would
come back some day and I have never
taken any steps to search for him for
this reason. Poor man! He may bo
dead now."
"Havo you ever suspected that ho
might have met with foul play?" was
asked.
"Not until recently. It must be Hint
audi is the case, however. Ho had
no reason or cuuse that 1 have ever
heard of for going nway. Ills accounts
were In perfect shape, I have since
learned, with the navy department. We
nover hail a quarrel during the years
wo were married and he was In no trou

lako care of myself without asking my
telatlves for any aid. I hope still that
