by half a dozen men, touched for his

cause resentment Heart5roken. he left
her. vowing never 10 return. After much
adventure he finally landed in India,
where he soon gained influence with the
government officials. who later bestowed
on him the title of Kohinoor.
There he became infatuated with a
princess, It is said, ard his affections not
being reciprocated and having lost the
bulk of his fortune, he left India, with
the resolution OF enecting a reconciliation
with his wife and first love.
Returning to Hartford he found his
wife still living and the possessor of con-
siderable wealth. He endeavOred TO renew
the love of former days but without sue
cess. Although neighbOTs interested them
selves in a reconciliation. Mrs. Fowler
refused to receive him. and for some
years they led separate lives i'm Hartford.
