CHAPTER FORTY.NINE

Patricia's pain lessened as all
pain lessons. Life resumed its
natural course and some Of her
bitterness died. The days
passed, the weeks, the months.
1t had been three nth s
since that final, heartbreaking
meeting with Clark She had
lost a part Of her youth that
bright June afternoon. Clark
belonged to days so young and
happy that they seemed in
credible now. Incredible that
she should have m ct a. tall,
laughing, lovable man in Gen.
trail Park, sat with him so
many times at tea, gone with
him on merry picnics in the
country. Those things, Patricia
thought, must have happened
to another girl.
For the most part she kept
her mind on cards and blessed
their mastery. Bridge de-
manded all that she could give
to it and more. Willingly she
gave all she had in energy and
strength and vigor. only q
game requiring infinite concen-
tration, a game that hurried
the leaden hours.
Julian she treated with po-
lite and studied scorn. There
were no more outbursts though.
Why blame him, after all? He
had only behaved as she had
known he would. From the
beginning she had known him
to be thoroughly unprincipled,
utterly unscrupulouS where his
own ends were concerned. AS
he said so often, she h a d
chosen to link her destiny with
his. Voluntarily and open
eyed she had posed before the
world as Patricia Haverholt
and as his niece. She had
stacked the cards against her
self. She must take the con-
sequences.
Julian was dissatisfied n d
disappointed at the situation.
That helped. He had won but
he realized now that it had
been a pyrrhic victory. That
helped too. He went his way.
She went hers. They lived in
the same house as strangers.

CUBAN LEADER
TELLS INSIDE
Of REVOLT
Continued from Page -

and the personnel of the chief
of staff's office.
Machado learned of our revolt
and sent for his presidential
troop of cavalry from the Atares
fortress. The troop was COM
manded by Captain Crespo,
assassin and executioner.
Then Machado, escorted by the
cavalry, went to Camp Columbia
to seek support of the troops
there.
There Capt. Lorres Menier told
him the men of the Air Corps
would join the revolt as one
man. Menier told Machado to
resign or ask leave Of absence.
MachadO Walks Away
Machado threatened him with
arrest, but walked away.
Machado next attended a con-
ference and a high army officer,
Colonel Castillo, urged support
for Machado. But only four
officers agreed with him.
Colonel Sanguily, former chief
of aviation, arose and called for
Machado's resignation.
At that conference on the
afternoon of August II some high
army officers tried to put Alberto
Herrera over as president. They
failed.
Later Herrera came to the
castle Of the force and proposed
he become military dictator until
a provisional president was
elected.
Herrera said Machado was
willing to ask for a leave of
absence and that all cabinet
members but himself had re-
signed.
We felt under the circumstances
that he held all cabinet offices
and could legally succeed Machado
but only for the purpose of paw
ing the way for selection Of
another as provisional president.
Opposed Dictatorship
We vigorously opposed a mill
tary dictatorship. During the night
Herrera claimed he had the sup
port of Colonel Castillo, of the
Cabana Fortress, and of the COM
manders in several military dis
trictS for the provisional presi-
dency.
When we heard this we asked
him to come to the castle Of the
force and prove his claims.
He came at $50 a. m, August
12, Saturday, and there he claimed
United States Ambassador Welles
had accepted him.
The junior officers doubted
these claims. I was chosen to
answer him. He tried to make me
believe all units Of the army ex'
cept ours had accepted him.
Then 1 told him that If every
body else accepted him, we would,
too, but only on condition he
would deliver the reins OF govern
ment to provisional president by
noon of that day.
Heard MachadO Had Fled
Then we heard Machado had
fled from the palace, so we de-
cided not to accept Herrera as
provisional president.
We heard, too, that Herrera
himself was on the point of leav-
ing. We knew then the revolu'
ton had triumphed and issued a
pronouncement that we would not
accept any military man for the
presidency, nor any politician.
Actually, we regarded Machado
and Herrera as one and the same
man
