Colonel Vale left Cienfuegos three
days ago to attack Colonel Guzman, the
chief iusurgent leader in Santa Clara

band Of insurgents under Major Postela,
Guzmans chief lieutenant. The two
forces came together near the Armic

While this battle was in progress Col
Guzman came up with his main force.
The fighting became general, both sides
losing heavily.

Robert Denning inherited from his
father the remnant of Il considerable
fortune. including a controlling interest
In bank. The bank was in a bad way
and threatened to involve the whole es
tate in disaster, but Robert put its af
fairs to rights within one year after he
took charge of it. for he was much
better business man than his father had
been. The two had differed radically
upon questions of business policy. and
they We're estranged ut the time Of the
elder Dcnning's death.
One of Roberts first administrative
acts was to demand the resignation OF
the banks cashier, who was old and
somewhat fcchle and would have with.

wish to toll a few weeks more and
round out forty years of service. Be

to more serviceable man he said to
Robert by way Of farewell:

Tyrrell left Barlock in disgrace and
went to London, where, to his own
great surprise he throve. About two
years later he returned to his native
town to pay the last of his debts there
He came bearing honOrs which he had

The wedding occurred within few
days, and Tyrrell carried broker

to London.
Five years later, as the result OF
steadily increasing and irreconcilable
differences, Sylvia left her husbands
home, never to return. She fled In Sc
cret, for thus only could she take hel
son with her. The letter which she
wrote to Sir Robert has come into my
hands, and it is one Of my most treas
ured possessions. Therein she states
with precision the reasons for her act

Your duty was to teach me honor

She then lays bare the sorud life she
led With him. For all the outpouring
Of her mind and heart he paid her only
In droSS. All his thoughts We're of
money; all his moral Judgments We're
rendered in terms of money. He could
talk of nothing else, think of nothing
else and hope for nothing higher
When their son was born Sir Robert
was relieved of a terrible mental strain.
He had feared the child might be a girl
and worthless for money making. and he
had never kept this anxiety secret from
her. His sole ambition for his son was
that he should follow in his fathers foot
steps ana win the respect of banks. Sir
Robert acclaimed business principles over
the child's cradle and undoubtedly drove
his wife into species of insanity by un-
ceasing rCiteration of his low aims end
sordid plans for their child.
Her determination that the boy should
never give a compreherding ear to his
fathers instruction was undoubtedly the
leaGsnE motive for Sylvia's conduct 1t is
true also that She had learned to under
stand the fraud that had been praCtiCed
upon her in regard to Arthur Tyrrell, as
the following passage in the letter proves:
You would not have forged a deed OF
Arthur Tyrreirs property and offered it to
me for sale. but you did not scrupe to
forge character for him and pass it up
on me for genuine. You ruined him
through Il partnership with Swindlers

time was shaped upon the basest and

time was shaped upon the basest and
most sordid self interest"
Probably this reference to Tyrrell led
Sir Robert to believe that Sylvia had fled
to him. Tyrrell was supposed to be in
America, and Sir Robert crossed the
ocean, vowing vengeance. Tyrrell, who
was really in England. heard Of these oc-
currenCes and promptly followed Sir Rob-
ert, but neither of them ever saw Sylvia
again or ever saw England, for Sir Rob-
ert became involved in business enter
prises in the new world and grew much
richer here while Tyrrell died soon after
reaching these shores.
AS for Sylvia. she lived a quiet life and
earned her IN bread and her sons. The
boy had childhood full of love- a youth
made beautiful by increasing helpfulness
TO her and manhood rich in honOrs. He
was not in the least like his father: but.
