HE GETS LIE TIER PROM THE HEIREss.
And now as to events. A week ago
last thursday l received a letter from
MISS Sanford. In it she protested her un-
dying devotion to me. Last Monday re-
ceived this letter"
Mr.. Peel had sent meanwhile for his
strong box, and from it he drew forth two
packages of letters. There must have
been fifty of the letters.
Those, y" said he, ARE Miss Sanford's
letters TO me- Then he read a letter
winch bore no date, and was written in a
large sweeping feminine hand
a strong, sweeping, feminine hand
/ signed by Miss Sanford 1t informed
Mr. Peel that their engagement was at
an end.
That letter" said Mr.. Peel. II re-
! celved last Monday. l knew il was not
| written of her free will. l was certain
| that 1t had been written under duress.

Her fatherl What did he have to
say or how would he dare to speak? 1t
IS the grandfather iron will that | am
| hghting, and l shall conquer it, or my

To cap the climax I have to-day re-
ceived the following letter:
Here Mr.. Peel produced a missive
| from the strong box. dated Aug 25. and
written from No. 20 Nassau street. The
letter had come from Seward, Guthrie Il
MarOwitz' Sanford grandpere's law
yerS. IL contained a demand upon Mr.
Peel for the return of Miss Sanford S
letters, and gave unmistakable hints of
reliance upon his honor as a gentleman to
do so.
HONOR GETS SHOT.
Now, that letter from Mr. Sanford's
| lawyers" said Mr.. Peel, together with
other significant circumstances, show me
that these people imply that I may retain
the letters for use in breach of promise
suit.
THAT is infamous. No English gentle
man would so degrade himself. And
would |, Peel, whose father was deco
rated at IS, stoop to such an actionl
Then l shall not deliver those letters

| OF the girl to whom l am engaged. l defy
her grandfather to let Ter come into my

ments. know what they are. She is as
! true to me as ever.
THERE'S A DETECTIVE DOWNSTAIRS.
| "Why, what do you think Mr.. Sanford
! has done! There is a detective now
| downstairs in this hotel. He has been
shadowing me ever since l came to this
city; Up in Stamford lawyer named
| Shelton said to one of the good ladies who
/ ChAmplO0S tNOu don't
! what might happen if Mr.. Peel should
knock a detective down. Perhaps they
think that, with their millions they could
put me into a disgraceful attitude if l
should knock detective down"
is there any Interior motive to your
mind, Mr.. Peel, in this attitude against
you2'
Certainly" responded MIR. Peel, in
stantly. MIR. Sanford wishes to make a
certain wealthy alliance for his grand
daughter"
What do you propose to do now2"
"Win the girl, " replied Mr.. Peel, throw
ing down his cigarette.
Il am going to Saratoga next week, -
said he. "But l shall not abandon the
field of battle"
Peel's letters to Miss Sanford, in Bridge
port, were addressed, it is said, under
cover TO Miss Corners, who is the head
| modlste in the Rowland, Stark q Cow
Company, a big dry goods firm in that
city. Miss Connors frequently goes to
Paris, and had seen Miss Sanford there,
besides having known her for years in
Bridgeport. Miss Sanford always called
in person upon Miss ConnOrs for the let
tiers. About week ago Miss Connors
went to Buffalo, where she now is. Be
fore going she left word with the firm to
send to that young lady any mail that
might come there for Miss Sanford.
Some letters FROM Peel came and the v
were sent to the Sanford house. but in
stead of going into the hands of Miss
Sanford they went ultimately into those
of Henry Sanford.
sANFORDs DENY AN ENGAGEMENT
Henry Sanford was at Saratoga yester-
day when a reporter called at the Sanford
house, in Bridgeport but Samuel Sanford
was there. He denied that there had
been an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT his daughter
and Mr.. Peel as he did also the story of
the clandestine correspondence.
"But it is true" be admitted, that
Mr.. Peel called here a few days ago. 1t
was brief visit, and he went back to
New York. do not know whether he is
there now, for he told me he was going in
a few days on a shooting trip to Canada. F"
MIR. Sanford did not care to discuss Mr..
Peel further, but he said there would not
| be another international marriage" II
do not like Mr.. Peel" he said afterward.
The Sanfords have very strong fam
lily connection here, Miss Sanford s
mother having been a Miss Cecil of this
city. Miss Sanford was to have been in
PRODUCED into New York society the COM
ing winter by the Misses Quincy of Fifth
avenue. She inherits much of her faith
ers musical talent.
Henry Sanford is one of the strongest
figures in Connecticut. The part he took
in the John Hoey trouble in the Adams
Express Company is well remembered.
Now he is supreme in the affairs of that
corporation. He has made all his own
future, as he began his business career
with nothing. In Bridgeport, he is re-
garded as man of unbending Will, and
1t is said there that if Robert Peel sue
ceeds in changing his mind it will be more
than any other man has ever done.
WHAT THE ENGLIsHMAN LOOKS LIKE.
Robert Peel is now in the heyday of
youth and manly strength. Certainly it
would be difficult to find a finer specimen
OF physical and mental harmony than in
this young Engishman.
He stands fully six feet tall, is an ath-
lete in appearance and bearing, is as
straight as the traditional arrow. his
complexion is clear and he wears a mus
tache He is wholly without affectation.
He is, in fine remarkable and unusual
exhibition of splendid manhood.
