Current Schema: Stories table, Seq_No field

In future versions of the schema, this should be dealt with programatically rather than being manually entered by an indexer or editor.

Future revision: Should probably add how to determine what makes a new sequence a new sequence, when to lump and when to split, reference to reprints, etc
