  design 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  or 
  double 
  heart, 
  crowned, 
  and 
  also 
  to 
  the 
  simpler 
  

   forms 
  of 
  a 
  heart 
  alone. 
  The 
  Masonic 
  badges 
  seem 
  also 
  to 
  be 
  

   imitated 
  from 
  originals, 
  but 
  they 
  need 
  not 
  necessarily 
  have 
  been 
  

   Scottish.

  Robert 
  

   Sheills 
  of 
  Neenah, 
  Wisconsin, 
  which 
  gives 
  some 
  curious 
  facts 
  that 
  

   tend 
  to 
  explain 
  the 
  widespread 
  dissemination 
  of 
  these 
  brooches 
  

   from 
  the 
  old

  among 
  the 
  Indian 
  allies 
  of 
  the 
  British

   in 
  Canada
