He entered the Marshalltown home shortly after the war and, at the time of his death, was the oldest inmate in point of resi- dencc there. He was aged 77 years and months.
 He is survived by two sisters. Mrs. Emma Hill and Miss Rosetta, and two brothers, Henry E., and John s. Will Hams, all of this city. His wife died many years ago.

H. 5. DEBATORS ON
 TRAIL OF THE CUP
Expect to Bring Wesleyan Trophy to New Britain

: High school students are Hevlncing strong interest in the debates that will take place Friday evening, February ,, which will decide this years cham ! pfonship in the Wesleyan Interscho-
 lastic Debating league. New Britain
 won the cham pionship last year by
 defeating Hartford and New Haven
 and was given temporary hold on the
 cup offered by the Wesleyan Debating club but in order to secure the cup permanently the team must win agaln
 this year. Folio wing the preliminary
 trvouts the students chosen to repre-
 sent the High school in the coming
 debates are: For the affirmative side,
 Ernest Murske, Israel Nair, Edward
 Mag, captain, Samuel Shulman, al-
 ternate; for the negative team, Cor nelius Prior, George Rachlin, Saliva dore Casale, captain, Morris MarloW,
 alternate. 1 Both teams are confident of victory and are preparing themselves diligent- 1 ly for the fray. Since New Britain ]! triumphed over Hartford and New
 Haven last year it is very likely that ] these two teams will concentrate their
 best efforts against the local teams.
 New Britain places her chief hopes in Mag and Casale, captains of the af- l firmatjve and negative teams re- spective1y. Both men are experienc ed
 debaters, having participated in de- i batting contests in past years. The affirmative side will have a slight ad- vantage over the negative because it 1 will remain at home while the neg ative team will have to debate before a strange audience in New Haven. The results of the debates will be closely followed by the members of l the senior class as the oratorical hon. {; ors are about evenly divided between Mag and Casale.
 l; The club is in charge of Professor William Fay and it has been through
 his untiring efforts that the debating l club has grown to be what it is to- day. The present officers of the 1 club are:
 l President-Edward Mag. 1 Vice president-1srael Nair. 1 Manager-George RachIin. 1 Assistant manager--Samuel Shul-

Only Isabel, who, in spite of her hus-
bands secretiveness, learned much, and
Pancho Cueto, who kept his own account
of the annual income from the business,
held the matter in serious remembrance.
The overseer was a patient man; he
watched with interest the growing dis.
cord at the quinta and planned to profit
by it, should occasion offer.
1t was only natural under such condi-
tons that Dona Isabel should learn to
dislike her stepchildren-Este had
told her frankly that they would inherit
whatever fortune he possessed The
thought that, after ALL she might never
share in the treasure for which she
had sacrificed her youth and beauty was
like to drive the woman mad and, as
may be imagined she found ways to vent
her spite upon the twins She widened
her hatred so as to include old Sebastian
as to persecute Evangelina's sweetheart,
slave named Asensio.
1t had not taken Dona Isabel long to
guess the reason for Sebastian's many
privileges, and one of her first efforts
had been to win the old mans confidence.
1t was in vain, however that she fiat
tered and cajoled, or stormed and threat
ened; Sebastian withstood her as a tower
ing ceiba withstands the summer heat
and the winter hurricane.
His firmness made her vindictive. and
so in time she laid a scheme to estrange
him from his master.
Dona Isabel was crafty. She began to
complain about Evangelna' but it was
only after many months that she ven
tured 10 suggest to her husband that he
sell the girl. Esteban. of course, refused
pointblank; he was too fond of Sebas-
tians daughter. he declared to think Of

With difficulty Esteban restrained an
oath. "You mistake my meaning" he
said, stiffiy. Sebastian has served me
faithfully. and Evangelina plays with
my children. She is good TO them; she

have ever been"

not? Everybody knows how rich he is.
From Oriente to Pinar del Rio the women
have heard about his treasure"
what treasurer" asked Sebastian,
after an instants pause.
Cueto's dark eyes cleaned resentfully
at this show of ignorance, but he laughed.
"Ho! There's a careful fellow for you!
No wonder he trusts you. But do you
think have neither eyes nor ears? My
good Sebastian, you know all about that
treasure; in fact, you know far more about
many things than Don Esteban would
care to have you tell. Come now, don't

Sebastian's face was like a mask carved
from ebony. "Of what does this treasure
consist?' he inquired. "I have never
heard about it,"
"Of gold, of jewels, of silver bars and
precious ornaments" Cueto's head was
thrust forward, his nostrils were dilated,
his teeth cleaned. "Oh, it is somewhere
about, as you very well know Bah!

rebels. No. Don Esteban hides it, and
you help him. Come" he cried disregard
ing Sebastian's murmurs Of protest, did
you ever think how fabulous that fortune
must be by this time? Did you ever think
that one little gem, one bag Of gold,
would buy your freedom?"
Don Esteban has promised to buy my
freedom and the freedom of my girl"

prised. IL didn't know that" After a
moment be began to laugh. And yet you

tian, and so 1 am. l admire you. We're
both loyal to our master eh? But now
about Evangelina." Cueto's face took on
a craftier expression. "She is a likely
girl, and when she grows up she will
be worth more than you, her father. Don't
forget that Don Esteban is before all else
a business man. Be careful that some
one doesn't make him so good an offer
for your girl that he will forget his
promise and-sell her"
Sebastian uttered a hoarse, animal
cry and the whites of his eyes showed
through the gloom. HE would never
sell Evangelical"
Cueto laughed aloud once more. "Of
course! He would not dare, eh I am
only teasing you. But see! You have
given yourself away. Everything you
tell me proves that you know all about
that treasure"
IL know but one thing" the slave de-
clared, stiffening himself slowly land
that is to be faithful to Don Esteban."
