across the sea that would carry to the young
sutton the news that his betrOthed would soon
wed another. They were married and had
children, but alas, were not happy and in few
years they were divorced and she went back

Son, he returned home to his family and was a
different man. in fact he was AL they could de-
sire, but he never inquired for the woman who
had made his life so miserable, and did not
know that she too had suffered. Time passed
on, and he soon became master Of large ship,
and was honored by all who knew him. One

weeks they were married, and are now living
within few miles of this city in one Of our
suburban towns.
