TIIE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION; ATLANTA, GA.. MONDAY. JANUARY I
CLARENCE.
Continued From Sixth Column First Page,
merely as a phase of Washington society,
Brant resolved to go.
The moon was high as the carriage hurled
him out of the still stilling avenues toward
the Soldiers* Home, a sylvan suburb fre
quented by cabinet ministers and the presi
dent, where the good senator had “de
creed ,” like Kubla ivahn.** a stately pleas
ure dome” to entertain his friends and
partisans. As they approached the house
the trembling light, like tire tiles through
the leaves, the warm silence, broken only
by a military band playing a drowsy waltz
on the veranda, and the heavy odors of
jasmine in the air thrilled Brant with
a sense of shame as he thought of his
old comrades in the Held. But this was
presently dissipated by the uniforms that
met him in the hall with the presence of
some of his distinguished superiors. At the
head of the stairs, with a circling back
ground of the shining crosses and ribbons
of the diplomatic corps stood Susy, her
bare arms and neck glittering with dia
monds, her face radiant with childlike vi
vacity. A significant pressure of her little
glove as he made his bow seemed to be
his only welcome, but a moment later she
caught his arm. "You've yet to know him,”
she said in a half whisper. “He thinks a
good deal of himself, just like Jim. But
he makes others believe it. and that's where
poor Jim slipped up.” She paused before
the man thus characteristically disposed of
and pesented Bant. It was the man he
bad seen before—martial, capable, dogmatic.
A glance from his shrewd eyes, accustomed
to the weighing of men’s weaknesses qnd
ambitions and a few hurried phrases ap
parently satisfied him that Brant was not
at the moment lini<ortant or available and
the two men a moment later drifted easily
apart. Brant sauntered listlessly through
the crowded rooms half remorsefully con
scious that he had taken some irrevocable
Step, and none the less assured by the
presence of two or three reporters and cor
res|*ondents who were dogging his steps,
or Hie glances of two or three pretty wo
men, whose curiosity had evidently been
aroused by the singular abstraction of this
handsome, distinguished, but sadonlc
looking officer. But the next moment he
was singularly interested.
A tall young woman had just moved into
the center of the room with an indelent,
yet supple gracefulness that seemed famil
iar to him. A change in position suddenly
revealed her face. It wa» Miss Faulkner.
Previously he had only known her in the
riding habit of confederate gray, which she
had at first affected, or in the light morn
ing muslin dress she had worn at Gray-
Oaks. It seemed to him tonight that ttie
careless elegance of her full dress became
her still more; that lhe pretty willfulness
of her chin and shoulders was chastened
and modflled by the pearls around her fair
throat. Suddenly their eyes met; her face
paled visibly; he fancied that she almost
leaned against her companion for support;
tin n she met his glance again with a face
into which the color had as suddeily
rush<<l, but with eyes that seemed to be
appealing to him even to the point of pain
and frlgla-. Brant was not conceited. lie
could set* that the girl’s agitation was
not the effect of any niero personal in
fluence in his recognition, but of something
• Ik. He turned hastily away. When he
looked again she was gone.
Nevertheless he felt tilled with a vague
irritation. Did she think him such a fool as
to imperil her safely by openly recognizing
her without her consent? Did she think
he would dare to presume upon the service
| she had done him? Or. more outrageous
thougth!—had she henrd of his disgrace,
known its cause and feared he would drag
her into a disclosure to save hims- ls? No,
no! She could not think that. Sin* had
perhap:- regrette<i what she had done in
a freak of girlish chivalry: she had re
turn'd to her old fe dings ,and partisan, hip;
she was otjy ttaulvd ,Ulb’
hereafter and she should know it. Any yet
yes, there was a "yet,” for he could not
forget-indeed, in the past three weeks
it h<A be«n more often l»efore him than
he cared to think—that she was the one
human being wiio had been capable of a
great act of self-sacrifice for him—her
enemy, her accuser-the matt who hud
scarcely treated her civilly. He was asham
ed to remember now that this thought had
occur red to him at the liedside of his wife;
at the hour of her escape; even on the fatal
slope on which he had l«.en struck down.
And now this fond allusion must go with tho
rest—the girl who had serves! him so loy
ally was ashamed of it. A bitter smile
crossed his face.
"Well. 1 don’t wonder! Here are all the
women asking me who is that guod-looking
Mephistopheles, with the burning ey« s. who
is prowling around my rooms as if search
ing for a victim. \\ hy, you’re smiling for
all the world like |»oor Jim, when he used
to do the Red Avenger.”
Susy’s voice, an illustration, recalled him
to himself. “Furious 1 may well be.” l.e
-aid, with a gentler smile, although his
eyes still glittered, "furious that i have to
wait until the one woman I came to see,
the one woman I have not seen for so
long, while these puppets have been night
ly dancing before her—can l ive me a few
moments from them to talk of the old
days.”
In his reaction he was quite sincere, al
though he felt a slight sense of remorse a.,
he saw the quick, faint color rise, as In
those old days, even through the tonight’s
powder on her face.
“That’s like the old Kia’uns,” she said,
with a slight pressure of ills arm, "but
.v< will not have a chance to speak until
late. When they are neatly all gone you
will take me to get a little refreshment,
and we’ll have a chat in the conservatory.
Bui y«'ti must drop that awfully wickert
look, and make yourself gem rally agree
able to those women until then.”
It was perhaps part of this reaction which
enabled him to obey his hostess’s com
mands with a certain recklessness that,
however, seemed to be in keeping with the
previous satanic reputation he had, al!
unconsciously, achieved. The women lis
tened to tiie cynical flippancy of the good
looking soldier with an undisguised admira
tion. which, in turn, excited curiosity and
envy fr m his own sex. He saw the whis
p-red queationing, the lifted eyebrows, the
scornful shrugging of shoulders—and knew
that the story of his disgrace was in the
air. But 1 fear this only excited him to

further recklessness and triumph. Once
he thought he recognized Miss Faulkner’s
figure at a distance, and even fancied that
she had been watching hltn—but he only
redoubled his attentions to the fair woman
beside him, and looked no more.
But he was glad when the guests began
to drop off; the great rooms thinned and
Susy, appearing on the arm of her husband,
coquettishly reminded him of his promise.
“For 1 want to talk to you of old times.
General Brant,” she went on, turning ex
planatorily to Boompofnter, “married my
adopted mother in California, at Robles, a
dear old place, where I spent my earliest
years. So you see we are sort of relations
by marriage,” she added, with delightful
naivete. Hooker's once vain-glorious al
lusion to his relations to the man before
him, flashed across Brant's mind, but it
left now only a smile on his lips. He felt
he had already become a part of the irre
sponsible comedy of life around! him. Why
should he resist or examine its ethics too
closely? He offered his arm to Susy; they
descended the stairs; but instead of paus
ing in lhe supper room, she simply passed
through it with a significant pressure on
his arm, and drawing aside a< muslin cur
tain stepped into the moonlit conservatory.
Behind the curtain there was a small rustic
settee; without releasing his arm she sat
down, so that When he dropped beside her
their hands nut and mutually clasped.
“Now, Kla'uns,” she said with a slight
comfortable shiver as she settled beside
him, “it’s a little like old Robles, isn’t it?
Tell me. And to think it’s five years ago.
Bet, Kla'uns, what’s the matter? You are
changed,” she said, looking at his dark face
in tiie moonlight, “or you have something
to tell me.”
“1 have.”
“And it’s something dreadful, I know."
she said, wrinkling her brows with a pretty
terror. "Couldn’t you pretend you had told
it to me und let us go on just the same?
Couldn't you. Kla’uns? Tell me.’’
“I am afraid 1 couldn’t," he said with a
sad smile.”
“Is It about yourself, Kla’uns? You know,”
she went on with cheerful rapidity, “I know
everything about you—l always did, you
know—and I don’t care and never did care,
and it don’t and nt ver did make the slight
est difference to me. So don’t tell it and
waste time, Kla’uns."
“It’s not about me—but about my wife,"
ho said slowly.
Her expression chained slightly. "O.
her!” she said, after a pause. Then, half
resignedly, "Go on, Kla'uns.’’
He began. He had a dozen times rehearsed
to himself his miserable story, always feel
ing it keenly, and even fearing that he
might t>e earrieil away, by emotion or mor
bid sentiment in telling it to another, but
to his astonishment he found himself t< ll
ing it practically, calmly, almos’ cynically
to his old playmate, repressing the half de
votion and even tenderness that had govern
ed him from the time that his wife, dis
guis'd as a mulatto woman, had secretly
watched him in his office, to the hour tli.it
he had passed her through the lines. He
withheld only the incident of Miss Faulk
ner’s complicity and sacrifice.
"And she got away—after having kicked
you ou' of your place, Kla'uns'.’" .aid Susy,
when he had ended.
Clarence stiffened beside her. But he felt
he had gone too far to quarrel with his con
fidante. "She went away. I honestly believe
that we shall never meet again—or 1
shoul 1 not be telling you this!"
“Kla'uns.” she said lightly, taking hit
hand again, “don’t you believe it 7 She won t
let you go. You’re one of those men that a
woman when she once has hooked on to
won't let go of. even w hen she b< livves she
no longer loves him —or meets bigger und
better men. I teckon it’s because you are
so diff rent front other men—maybe—there
are so many different tilings about you t >
hook on to—and you don't slip off 'sily
as the o l;« rs. Now, if you were 1 »e old

No, nty boy, ali we

“Your career is a<
and Boompointer. We .. .....
something about you being in •iisgra’e,*'but
the story was that v >u were soft <■!, som »
girl down there, and neglected your busi
ness, Kla'uns. But, Lordy! to think it was
only your own wii'e! Never mind, we'll
straighten that out. We’ve had worse jobs
than that on. Why, there was that commis
sary who was buying up dead horses at
one end of the field and selling them to tht
government for m<s.s beef at the oth«*r; and
there was that general who wouldn’t make
an attack when it rained, and the oilier gen
eral—you know who 1 mean, Kla'uns —who
wouldn't invade the state where bis sister
lived—but we straightened them ou some
how, and they were a heap worse than you.
W-'ll g' t you a position tn tiie war depart
ment here, one of the bureau otfk es, where
you keep yum rank and your un;form--you
don’t look bad in it, Kla'uns -on be ti r pay.
And you’ll come and see mt —and we'll talk
ov« r old limes.”
Grint felt his heart turn sick within him.
But ho was at her mercy now. lie said, with
an effort: “But I've toid you that my ca
reer-nay, my life -now is in the field.”
"Don't you be a fool, Kla'uns, and leave
it there! You have done your work oi light
ing—mighty good lighting, too, and every
body knows it. You've earned a change. Det
other.,’ take your place.”
Ho shuddered as he remembered that his
wife had made the same appeal. Was lie a
fool, then, and these two women—so totally
uniike in everything—right in this?
“Come, Kla’uns,” said Susy, ’ now tall;
to me! You don't say wiiat you think of
me, of my home, my furniture—of my posi
tion—«van <>f him! Tell me!’’
“1 find you well, prosperous, an I happy,”
he said witli a faint smile.
“Is that all'-' How do 1 look?”
She turned her still youthful, mischievous
face toward him in the moonlight. The
witchery of her blue eyes was still there
aS of old, the same frank irresponsibility
beamed from them; her parted lips seemed
to give him back the breath of his youth.
"Susy, dear!"
It was her husband’s voice. “I quite for
got," it went on, as lie drew the curtain
aside, “that you were engaged with a fri nd
but Miss Faulkner is waiting tv say 'good
night.’ and I volunteered to lind you.”
"Tell Iter to wait a moment," said Susy,
with an impatience that was as undisguised
as it was without embarrassment or con
fusion.
But Miss Faulkner, unconsciously follow
ing Mr. Hoompointer. was already upon
them. For a moment the whole four were
silent—although perfectly composed.
Senator Boompointer, unconscious of any
infelicity in his interruption, was calmly
waiting. Clarence, opposed suddenly to the
young girl, whom he believed was avoiding
his recognition, rose coldly, imperturbable.
Miss Faulkner, looking taller and more erect
in the long folds of her satin cloak, neither
paled nor blushed, as she regarded Susy
and Brunt with a smile of well-bred apol
ogy-
"I expect to leave Washington tomorrow,
and may not bo aide to cad again,” she
said, "or I would not have so particularly
pressed a leave-taking upep you.”
"1 was talking with my old friend, Gener
al Brant,” said Susy, more byway of intro
duction than apology.
Brant bowed. For an instant the clea».
eyes of Miss Faulkner slipped icily across
his as she made him an old-fashioned co
lonial courtesy, and taking Susy's arm she
left the room. Brant did not linger, but
took leave of his host almost in tiie same
bteath. At the front door a well-appointed
carriage of one of the legations fead just
rolled into waiting. He looked back and saw
Miss Faulkner, erect and beautiful as a
bride in her gauzy draperies, descending the
stairs before the waiting servants. He felt
his heart beat strangely. He hesitated; re
called himself with an effort—hurriedly step
ped from the porch into the path as he
beard the carriage door close behind him
In the distance, and even felt the dust
from Her horses' hoofs rise around him as

Some CriMitleZ of tho Olden Time at Cbrirt
iuaa Tide—A Young Dover’s Kescue
from a Terrible Situation.
For The Constitution.
The fun und frolic and fuss and flurr.
the Christmas holidays has about ceased
and the people have go>ne to work for anoth
er crop.
It does me good to see with what energy
the young people have begun the new year.
The pasture fences are being repaired,
briars cut and rocks piled. This next we y*-
every plow will be running, gardens will !«■
started, manure hauled ou. and the rural
districts of old Georgia will be a scene of
blustering industry from now until planting
time. Though two fresh graves are to be
seen in our little settlement graveyard
one that of an aged lady, the other that of
a small child who bad just came among us,
and the further misfortune of one little boy
getting his arm shattered in a rabbit hunt—
despite of this, the holidays have been mix
ed with considerable merriment and the
usual romping. Three couples have married
—one a runaway match. The venerable old
Hardshell, Elijah Webb, united the “run
aways” and after the ceremony turned the
“big room" of his house over to the young
foIKS, to the number of thirty, und the
night was spent in the innocent plays of
Christmastide—such plays as teceive tie
sanction of the good old preacl ers and -ts
cheer the hearts cf all aard leaves no sting
for the morrow.
Os course we old folks cannot join In plays
and sports as we used to join, and 1 sup
pose that is why we are most in general
striving by comparison to make the old
times the best times. In this connection
we have had revived tin incid< nt ot a Chr.st
mas in the forties, which will vie in rude
ness with anything of the present age.
Al/out the y?ar IMC or 1317, on Christmas,
there was a ruraway match planned to take
place between here and Stone mountain.
The day of Christmas was spent at the
mountain by tiie young mtn who partici
pated in this cruelty. All day long this
rowdy crowd had engiged in the sports
common at such places In that day and
time. "Gander pulling," sheeting at tur
keys—sometimes sht otlng for beef, was
common sport on such an occasion and, of
course, there was no contact with females
to ksson the participation in the strong
drinks of the times. By the time for our
crowd to start, home, among whom was a
wild brother of the bride to be. they were
all pretty well filled with whisky and had
plenty more along in bottles as a reserve.
We must leave this rowdy crowd along the
read to their homes, singing, shooting and
howling in a manner fully up to anything
modern, in order to introduce the bride
groom that was to be, and who was the
sufferer before the night was through.
'This young man--This bridegroom to be —
was what was called in those days a "Sun
day school scholar." Th.-it means that he
had always been a rnor.il lw>y and had ever
refused to join in any sjiorts with an im
moral taint. This should have recommend
ed him, it seems, as a. suitable son-in-law,
but it did not. There had been a sort of
a feud between the older set of the fami
lies, and thus the trouble.
But ui>oii this Christmas night these
young people were to steal away and get
married. The young man was on his way
and the young lady was already waiting
for the signal which would be soon given
and away they would fly to some good old
preacher and be made one forever. The
signal was given and the young people did
tly, but tiny were not fleet enough to es
cape tlds set of rowdies, who made their
mnearance just as the <>ld people discover
•t their daughter was gone. T’ e
wild ur.d . impetuous always, w is
• his drunken nsso-
IjKl-
~«aili -'i e> -iy' nerve
pe. in vain the young girl plead
•r lover to leave her alone and save
■ himself. This he rightly refused to do and
i faced his pursuers standing beside the girl
i he had chosen for his wife. It was short
' work for the brother to part the lovers. In
I a few minutes she was on the road back
’ to the home she was striving to leave, while
. the groom to be was waiting for the un-
■ reasonable rowdies to decide w hat they were
I to do with him.
At last the verdict came—he
i was to be thrown from the top
• of Ston mountain. After this de
, cision was reached the crowd took drinks
from their bottles and the march was
' taken up for the mountain. Arriving upon
i the top of the mountain, a counsel was
held by the rowdies and more drinks were
passed around. After drinking several times
J they were nerved for their cruel work,
and they had the young prisoner upon the
' very brink of tin precipice, with his hamU
, tiid fast behind him. A slight push waiuld
| have sent him hurling downward for 2,500
• feet, but the push was never given. For
some r> ason a different plan was settled
upon, instead of shoving him off the prec
ipice it was decided to tie him to a rope
• and i' t him hang head downward between
heaven and eartti. Dy some means they
! secured ropes—only plow lines—and upon
• this blessed Christmas night he was swung
i over the precipice, let down some fifty
feet and left to his fate.
While all this was going on the young
, woman in the case had not been idle. She
• made her escape, and knowing the char
acter of the crowd that had her lover, she
was frantic in her efforts. She soon had
i friends to go with her to the rescue. Her
‘ own father joined, being brought to hia
• sense by what he feared for his son. They
• traced the rowdies to the mountain, u tiling
I easy enough as they had made so much
fuss on tiie way. The rescuing party went
I up one side of the mountain as the rowdies
went down the other side or else, perhaps,
there would have been bloodshed. Anyhow
; no time was lost. The groans of the suffer
ing man were soon heard and directed the
i rescuing party to his relief. Carefully they
drew him up, every man in a tremble for
fear the slender ropes would break. .Safely
hauled from over the terrible precipice,
1 the young man fainted away, while the
: young woman fell across the protrate form.
Happily the young fellow was soon
’ brought around all right. Tlio father of
i the girl looked on till he saw everything re
, stored. Then, turning away, he said:
“l.i t the ceremony be performed."
And performed it was, there being a min
ister present. At the foot of the mountain
the old father turned and offered his hand
I to the newly married pair, saying as h<*
; did so:
“You arc a great rascal, but you arc my
son-in-law; come home and be happy.”
i Such a procedure as the above would be
i almost impossible in the same section at
I the present time. The cruelties of these
: days may be Just as painful, but they arc
; more refined and must be made more se-
I cretly. This country all around Atlanta
| now is just suited for those able to revel
in the luxury of a beautiful suburban home.
In the summer the breeze is cooling, the
woods and Howers and green swards inspir
ing, while the quiet from the city’s rum
ble is soothing to the. business and profes
sional man and a delight to the women and
children. As we hunted in the fields to the
right and the left of the Georgia railroad
on Christmas 1 could not help from contem
plating the. opportunities for industrial de
velopment that is waiting here. In going
out from Atlanta eastward the water that

Florida's Phosphate.
Fernandina, Fit., January B.—(Special.)—
The phosphate shipments through this port
for the year IS'JI, as compiled it the custom
house today, aggregated 135,500 tons, an
excess of nearly 9,01)0 tons over those of
1593. Since the discovery of Florida phos
phate was made in the lafti r part of 1889
Fernandina has shipped -ItS/tST tons, all of
which has been hauled here from the mines
by lhe Florida Central and !’• ninsular
railway, which conipanj’ has erected here
at tide water an immense elevator and
long lines of wharves. This elevator has
a storage capacity of S,OOO tons. For the
year of IMG the shipments of phosphste
from here will hardly excc-e 1 125,0*1 tons,
for the Euro;x?an buyer s have taken ad
vantage for the last two ye: is of the very
low conditions of the market and low
freights and have succeed- 1 in storing in
Em ope tho enormous amount of : O,' tons
cl Florina phosphate. Now that it is impos
sible for the price to further deelin *, tn y
intend to dispose of what they have on
hand, which will h ive a tendency to im
prove the condition of the market, but
cause a slight decrease in th' amount of
phosphate rock shipped from the slate.
