THIS ARDEN WEDS
AFTER V FEARS
He’s 71 Years of Age and His
Bride Is 68 Years Old.
Courtship Was Rapid.
SAVANNAH. GA., May 11.—Forty
teven years after the war robbed him
i of a wife and fami’v Peter J. Thompson
has come back to the South and. in
spite of his 71 years, has married the
I girl" he courted at Pembroke. Bryan
county, nearly a half century ago.
Mrs. Ann Celenia IVilsOn. aged 68.
: was the bride to whom Thompson was
| wedded b" the Rev. John S. Wilder, of
I the South Side Baptist church, and
I while the aged couple are celebrating
■heir belated honeymoon at th» home
of Mrs. L. A. Schuman. Thompson s
first w ife. happily married again and
living at Blichton. has been told that
’he husband she thought long since
dead has returned to spend the rest of
his life with the sweetheart of his boy
hood near the village where he wooed
her nearly half a century ago.
War Shatters
His Romance.
It was in the. late fifties that young
Pete Thompson, whose father owned
half the land in the Pembroke section,
told his sire that he was bent on mar
rying Miss Ann Walker, who lived on
1 ’he adjoining farm. Thompson, senior.
I said the marriage must be postponed
and the sweethearts were still waiting
for the parents to fix their wedding
date when the Walker familv moved to
a distint village. Thompson did not
see Miss Walker for several years. He
thought she had-forgotten him and he
married another girl.
Then the "ar came. Pete Thompson
enlisted in a cavalry troop. In 1865 he
went one day to visit his wife, hie fa
ther and. his baby girl at Pembroke,
be was there when Sherman swept
across the state. Young Thompson,
with many other Confederate soldiers,
took to the swamps, but hunger drove
him from their fastnesses and he was
foraging one night when he was cap
tured at a Federal outpost. The Fed
eral® sent Thompson to Nbw York as a
refugee and later carried him farther
[ West. When he was free to write to
his people in the South many months
had passed, his wife had believed him
dead and had married a man named
I Davie. His father died and he could
: learn no word of his child.
Thompson, discduraged, decided to
remain in the North. He took up a
parcel of land in Kansas and was just
accumulating a competence in that new
| country when a cyclone wiped out all
I his property and left him stranded in
the strange country. He wandered to
Kentucky and had started a successful
business there, but fire destroyed this
also.
Like Enoch Arden
Finds Wife Wed.
Once more penniless and grown old
and stooped. Thompson decided that he
would give up the struggle and return
to ’he old home in Georgia.
H» reached Savannah in February.
There he learned that his wife was now
Mrs. Davis, of Blichton. and that his
daughter had married Berry Jones' at
Black Creek. Thompson saye that this
news stunned him Utterly disconso
late. like Enoch Arden of Tennyson’s
poem, he went to a boarding house and
told the landlady that he would remain
there only a little while, because he
would die in a few months of loneli
ness. But that same day. when the
feeble old man came down, to dinner, he
sa« a face at the table that seemed
somehow familiar. A moment after
" ard this woman, one of the occupants
-ts the house, crossed to his seat and
held nut her hand.
"You are Peter Thompson, aren't
you’ ’ she asked in a voice that trem
bled a little.
"Yes,” he said, “I am Thompson. Tour
face, ma'am, looks familiar to me and
I'm surprised because I didn't expect to
met folks I used to know any more.”
“M hy.- I'm Ann Walker, the gray
haired woman said. "Don't you re
member me when we were boy and girl
down in Pembroke'.’"
Thompson did remember. Years fell
away from him by the score when his
new-found friend told him that she had
given him up for dead, had married and
was. now Mrs. Wilson- but a widow.
In spite of his years, Thompson had
not forgotten courtship. As he had
done in the days of the fifties, nor lie
wooed Ann Walker again and the gray
haired woman of 68 did not reject his
advances.
"We won't wait his time. 11l take no
chances of losing you again." an
nounced Thompson with pos’’iveness.
And when Mrs. Wilson had consent
ed and the lawyers had said that
Thompson's first marriage- was out
lawed througn the statute of limita
tions. the couple lost not a moment in
hurrying to the Rev. John S. Wilder,
w ho made them man and wife y ester
day.
Thompson says he feels 30 years
l younger than his age and happier than
he has been since the Civil war.

ACT RESSAND AOP PA RTY
ON “GREAT WHITE WAY”
COSTCAROLINAN SB,OOO
NEW YORK. May 11.—Dorothy
Dale, twenty years old. an actress, was
one of five prisoners held under bonds
by Magistrate Appleton in the West
Side police court, charged with being
implicated in the robbery of Aaron
Moore, a young man from North Caro
lina who took a w hiss of opium smoke
byway of experiment in.the parlor of
a furnished roorn house at 256 West
Forty -fifth street.
He. informed the police that he had
been despoiled of 8200 in cash, a five
carat diamond ring valued at 81,000, a
gold and diamond studded matchbox, a
gold and diamond studdied cigarette
case and a gold fob studded with 126
small diamonds. Altogether he reck
oned his loss al $8,083.
The prisoners gave their names as
Francis McDonald. Walter Gavin. Hor
ace Sperry. Dorothy Dale and Florence
Doyle, a model.
Did She Smoke Opium?
Moore was bent on a mission to dis
cover the truth about his inamorata—
w hether or not she smoked opium in
her idle moments and told lies when
under the influence of a toy bonfire of
poppy leaves—when the robbery oc
curred.
The young man from North Carolina
testified that while he and his supposed
friends were "hitting the pipe,” sing
ing and dancing in a hazy fashion, two
Rip Van Winkle Adrift in Atlanta
BUSTLE DAZES VETERAN
Where once were a few uncertain
shacks with numerous ill kept paths
called streets leading out in different
directions theta stood a city. busy, hus
tling with buildings that seemed to
touch the sky. Samuel May a Confed
erate veteran. 80 years old, who last
saw Atlanta 55 years ago. passed
through the city today. He is yet rub
bing his eyes at the contrast.
May is a Georgian by birth, and
lived fifteen years in and about At
lanta. At the age of 25 years he moved
to Louisiana and was teaching school
when the war broke.out.
In the 60 years of his absence from
the city. May had not read much of
Atlanta. He was, of course, conscious
of the fact that a steady growth was
going on For that reason, he expect
ed to see a good, substantial city.
What he did see caused him to think
that he had caught the wrong train.
Whirl Bewilders Aged Man,
Passing from the capacious Termi
nal station, he. went out in the broad
plaza, stopped for a moment to locate
himself, and then passed out into the
whirl which began at Madison and
Mitchel! He had gone just two steps
and was emerging into the third when
something stnlck him. Being an old
man. he tottered, out caught himself
long enough to leok around and catch
sight of tr.it object which had hit him
“Whata the matter with him?" he
asked some one. The only answer was
a broad grin. May then noticed that
every one seemed more or less in a
hurry. This was bis first sight of the
Atlanta idea —"get there as fast as you
can.”
"Right down there was a place I
used to know. I’ll go there,” he said tc
himself.
No Landmarks Anywhere.
The place he used to know was two
stories high, brown in color and had a
few chairs in front of it where the
populace was wont to gather. He got
there very quickly—with the assistance
of a pay-as-you-enter vehicle, but
gone was his little brown house. A
soft tear started down the old man’s
cheek, but froze in the amazemen’
i which grew- as his eyes began to take
■ in the proportions of the building.

men wearing masks over their faces
broke in tenon their little entertainment,
each leveling a brace of heavy revolv
ers.
After being entreated by the others
to hold up his hands as they were do
ing. he did so anef was relieved of his
money and
as if to search the others in the room,
but took nothing from them, although,
they wore valuable jewelry.
Held From Giving Alarm.
He was warned not to give an alarm
and when he attempted to follow the
hold-up men he was held back by the
others on the pretext of fear that he
would be shot. He finally succeeded in
reaching the street, and immediately
went to the police station, where he
told his story. Officers went to the
room and arrested the three men and
then to Miss Doyle's room, where .they
found the two women. They all denied
putting up a game to rob Moore, but
could not explain why the robbers had
failed to take their valuables.
Moore said that he was from Pitt
county, North Carolina, where he has
a farm, and that he had been in New
York since September. When he was
asked his business in New Y'ork he re
plied :
“Well. I do a little of everything, but
principally I gamble, and then I enjoy
an income from my farm besides my
winnings."
All the prisoners were held.
Up—one. two, three, four, ten stories
his eve traveled. There above him was
a city in itself. In every window he
could see signs of life. The old man
made no comment. He merely looked
into the years and pictured the old
group standing out incongruously
against this setting He wondered"
what they would say, what they Would
do. what the'- would think. He won
dered how it all had been accomplish
ed; if it were another Chinese wall,
reared by the incessant labor of the
entire population.
He then asked a policeman if this
was the highest building in town. The
officer told him that it was. except for
two other'that "ere almost twice as
high, three that were from four to six
stories higjier, and several scattered
about which , possessed from ' two to
three more stories.
The old man then leaped three feet to
avoid a taxicab.
From this time forth the city began
tq close in swiftly on May. Like a
man too far gone in wine for recovery,
yet not so far gone for realization of
what was happening, he gave himself
over complete!'.
Crowd Becomes Oppressing.
The roar and bustle and clang be
came blurred and only that which rose
distinctive came through. He rented a
cab and asked to be driven out of the
noise. The driver did this in about five
minutes. The roar and bustle and
crowded feeling had gone. Instead he
was passing a cool, green avenue. On
both sides were residences of palatial
proportions. Marble and granite and
other stones of different grade and dif
ferent hue appeared. Presenth- he ar
rived at a long, sweeping turn in the
road and saw before him an Italian,
villa. Passing on still further, there
was seen a club house surrounded with
smart!} liveried horses standing about
and automobiles in front. And so it
" ent until the city began to disapoear
and he was out on the lanes of the
country.
"Isn't there some way we can go
back'without seeing so much?" he ask
ed the driver. The negro cabbv didn't
understand, but essayed to make an en
trance into the city by another route.
"It's no use!" cried May. “It’s
everyv.here."
