WILD PAST
Taylor Was Always Black
Sheep, Declares Family
Coachman.
BY DENIS O'CONNELL,

copyright, 1922, by Universal service.)
CAPPOQUIN, Ireland, Feb. 16.
William Desmond Taylor's boy
hood was as tragic as his death.
William Coss, an old coachman
employed at that time by the faith
er of the slain motion picture direc.
tor, described to me todaythe dra-
matte early life Of Taylor, then
William Cunningham Dean-Tan-
ner.
Tells Of History.
Coss Is still caretaker Of the his.
toric Belleview estates at Cappoquin,
County Waterford, about thirty miles
northeast Of Cork, long since vacated
by the Tanner family, who occupied
II fifty years ago. Coss said:
william Dean-Tanner was born
In 1877 in Carlow. There We're also
two elder sisters, Nellie and Grace,
and brother, Dennis. Dennis was
the youngest.
Shortly after William was born
we removed from, the Belleview es-
tates to Cappoquin. Major Tanner
was harsh, especially to- William, who
was a wild boy without any particu-
lar badness.
civilian naturally got harsh
treatment for boyish pranks nego-
tiated by dennis. Dennis was his
fathers favorite, but William was
the finer youth.
Failure Enrages Parent.
His father intended that William
should enter the British army. In
his teens he was sent to Sandhurst.
For some trivial reason which
have forgotten, William failed to
pass.
''The father was insaneIy furious
and virtually banished him from the
household. The lads position was
pitiful. He was forced 10 wear rags
q beggar would scorn and was given
hardly enough food to keep him
alive. Finally Major Tanner order
ed the youth to build himself an out
house In which he was forced to live
by himself.
Shack Still Stands.
1--WE servants pitied the lad and
smuggled food to him. When old
Major Tanner was away from home
we helped William construct the out
house in which he later lived, in a
far corner Of the estate"
This dog-house like shack still
stands.
Coss said that shortly after the
family left Belleview, William was
sent to Canada by his father. He
was given barely enough money to
take him there. A few months later
he returned home a failure. Coss
continued:
This time his father raved. and
Young Tanner was again made an
outcast. But his two sisters al
ways stood by him.
About 1899 or 1900 the Tanner
family left Cappoquin and went to
Dublin. That was the last l ever
saw OF William Dean-Tanner.
Grace Dean-Tanner, the pref
test Of the sisters, died from an
accident on the hunting field. Miss
Nellie married an officer in the
British army. They, l understand,
still live in England"

A CHRISTMAS

- o many rich children forget the
poor during the holy Christmas
tide. But HI very name of Christ

Divine Love we owe our Christmas
time.
There are always the poor children
whose holiday season will be cherries

will help to make 1t happy. In every

many little toys-still in good repair
that might make glad the hearts of
some poor children whose stockings.

toys as he or she spare from his

among the poor. Boys and girls might
regulate the work Of giving by ap-

her best white dress with a blue sash

When they reached the church they

by receiving more than their share of
the donated gifts.
And not only toys and trinkets
should be got together, but useful
things as well There are outgrown
hats. caps. shoes. coats. frocks that
our boys and girls can no longer wear.
There are many poor children of all

such things. And little baskets of
fruit and nuts and candy-that can
be got for a small sum at the corner

ceived by the little folk of the poor,
for it is not their privilege to buy of
such things whenever appetite die

So while your hearts are made glad
