A Dance of Glioats By Dviij McFall ALTHOUGH not all parts of the Southern States were the scenes of conflict during the civil war, there was not a nook or corner in them that did not feel the direct and immediate effects of it. The entire South was impoverished. A very considerable proportion of its manhood was slain or maimed. Imposing homes were deserted and abandoned, and extensive plan tations quickly reverted to the con dition of the wilderness. Educa tional facilities were so far cur tailed that everywhere, except in populous centers, three months schooling in a year was all that any child could expect. The color ed race, in many large areas out numbering the whites, were sud denly remove . from discipline :oid control and were given responsibil ities to which they could not rise. And then came the period of re construction, a darker aftermath of a dark day. The time of the following story was at the close of this recon struction period; the scene was a typical plantation home in western Florida, where cultivated fields on the low gently rolling hills? wide stretches of primeval pines, sluggish streams and dismal bayous were the oft-repeated features of an in teresting topography.' Everywhere at the water's edge graceful but somber Spanish-moss festooned the trees, as with funeral trappings. The three persons who figured in the story were the widowed owner of 'the plantation, her daughter (then a child of eleven years, now a charming and cultured woman re siding in Western North Carolina), and a young man, a nephew. To give anything like a compre hension of the extra ordinary man ifestations witnessed by these pen- sons u is necessary 10 aescriDe somewhat in detail the house and its sett inc. The mansion, a ten- room, two-story structure, with the familiar classic pillars rising from the board verandah to the eaves, was seated on slightly : elevated ground at the cast of the bayou and about two hundred yards dis tant. In order to enhance the view from the front of the house the intervening space had been cleared, , so that occupants of the -verandah looked out upon a sheet of water that resembled an un sullied lake fringed with serried tanks of feathery cypress. . The sides and rear of the house were so. closely hemmed in by the sur rounding pines that with the light - est stir of air their sighing, a faint response to the beating of the surf on the shores of the Gulf forty miles away, filled every room. A certain feature in the situation of the house should be noted par- .Ticuiany. vvncii uic nut moon arose it chequered the front and ifilled the east rooms with a dim Jracery of the cypresses in the Ibayou to adapt Wordsworth's line, with "shadowy phantoms interlaced with light; then tor an hour or wo, after it had risen above the tree tops, it flooded the verandah and front rooms with its unintcr cepted beams; and finally, when it had surmounted the eaves, it left the front of the house in darkness and cast a slowly encroaching shad ow upon the open space. I stress these circumstances, because the dance of ghosts which will be de scribed in a moment occurred only during a full moon, AND ONLY IN THAT BRIEF INTERVAL in which the moon's unobstructed light fell full upon the verandah and the east rooms. . The moment the eaves began to cast their shadow the ap paritions vanished. This is singul ar. for notoriously ghosts are lov ers of darkness. But there was a yet stranger circumstance. Both tradition and experience have con firmed the fact that ghosts are Wlinc ui ul a UU31JT annual invariably; but the ghosts about to be described were black, and not ronly terrifying but unspeakably re nulsive. . It was early in September, nearly :len years after the close of the war, when the widow was informed .that she would be permitted to re :turn to her old home if she cared ;to do so. She grasped the op portunity, determined; to spend the rest of her life in trying to restore ;to tne piace ai icasi a poruon 01 fhc former glory with which her . recollection 1 and imagination in vested it. She was encouraged by the knowledge that although during the last few months of the war the house had been occupied by a com pany of Union soldiers, whose eth ivs ami deportment may have been those of uninvited 'guests generally for several years afterwards, and until military rule was abrogated it was used as a hospital for con valescents, and therefore must have been kept clean and in good re pair. She assumed that for the same reason much of the furniture had been kept intact, and she took with her, as her only baggage apart from change of clothing; two mat tresses and a few sheets and quilt She was right in her conjecture She congratulated herself that the house and its contents had escaped the ravages suffered by so many southern homes. one miiu un ivuuwi ihi EXPLANATION Of Last Week' Ghost Mystery: The Georgia Ghost The girl went to the grave ami stooped at its tide to press the carving fork into the earth. She found that con iderable force was neceaaary, for the prong of the fork had truck a small root which the grave-digger had cut through with his spade. In stooping, her dress spread out, and without knowing it she ran the prongs through its hem, thus pinning it firmly to the root.' When she arose to go she found that she was held but when she sprang forward toward her res cuers her effort tore the dress loose. The experience, was too much for her high-strung ner vous system, and her reason was unseated. whom one was an aid and the other care spent the greater part of the day of their arrival in banish ing the accumulated dust and in opening locked doors and Windows, that the incense of the pines might sweeten musty rooms. When night fell the little circle, all that re mained of a family group of seven, sat in the spacious living room and talked, as composedly as the fa tigue from a strenuous day and the excitement attending the re turn from a long exile to familiar scenes permitted. Bedtime an nounced itself at an early hour and goodnights were exchanged, the widow and her child electing to spread their pallej on the living room floor and the young man re tiring to a small bedroom on the upper floor and at the rear of the house. Before the woman lay down she threw open a pair of wide French doors that led out upon the verandah, which was about three feet above the ground; and to ensure privacy against unlikely but , possible prowlers, she drew across the opening a plain, un figured curtain, originally white but now stained with age, and made of so thin a material that it admitted a considerable proportion of the diffused light of the sun. and of the direct light of the moon, yet com pletely obstructed the vision from within or without The flight was warm, but not close, as a light breeze was heard stirring in the pines and was seen in the slight and gentle movements of the curtain. The woman had placed her pallet at the end of the room opposite the curtain and as she lay she could dimly see its shimmer. Her tired body begged for sleep but her mental excitement forbade it and she watched the rising full moon while it climbed the trees and until it swung itself into the unclouded skies above their tops and above the vapors of the bayou. But with the grow ing light a strange terror shaped itself before her eyes. By imper ceptible degrees, but as surely as the stars move in their courses, as the tangled shadows of twigs and branches crept downward on the curtain until the last trace disap peared from its hem, the shapes of uncouth and horrible figures grad ually came into being, taking their station in the doorway or on the verandah beyond. There were four figures, indis tinct in outline but unmistakable in form. They were the figures of northern soldiers, as their peaked caps bore witness. They were ex ecuting a solemn but weird dance. Iheir iantastic movements were such , as no human dancers, or sa tyrs, could have made. They moved ceaselessly, now slowly and now vigorously, with firm footing, yet their feet were several inches above the floor. But in their dance was one feature which could not have been conceived of had not the wo man seen it plainly and shuddered at it. The figures retained their respective places, "immovably un quiet," but their strange contortions were unimaginably horrible! Arms and legs would foreshorten or dis appear suddenly, only to regain their misshapen trunks quickly, and now a'nd then the insubstantial dancers would exchange heads, the fragment of a moment. The dance may have been the expression of a ghost's sense of humor, but the humor was such as would strike a deadly chill into any human heart. The figures were ghastly carica tures of humanity. The dance of witches in Alloway Kirk, as seen by drunken Tarn O'Shanter, was not so shockingly grotesque. The watcher aware that she was awake but fearing that an halluci nation had taken possession- of her, or that her brain was crazed, sat up in her bed. For a few mm utes she gazed wide-eyed it the iDDtrition: and then AnuGuiilg tU hr tout U ft full share of the bplcndid courage that distinguished the women of the south during the war and its aftermath arose and with steady hand lit the small lamp that stood near her couch. The shadows had vanished, no living creature and no moving shadow was in the room, and not' the faintest sound from within or without could be heard. Her straining ears could easily catch the soft breathing of her sleeping child, and she fancied that she could hear the beating of her own heart, but nothing else with life or breath could she see or hear. She turned down the wick and blew out the diminished flame and instantly the dark fig ures appeared and resumed their uncanny, silent dance. She watched the dumb-show with an interest in which curiosity as yet predominated over fear, and sought to solve the mystery. Her imagination and her reason worked hand in hand. She mentally sur veyed in detail every feature of the scene the bayou, the open space, the surrounding pines, the moon's position in the sky, the arrange ment of the furniture, the mirror, even the fireplace, the state of her mind. She could find no clue; and as no mind can bear being held in suspense, she again lit the lamp to find a comfort, if not an answer, in its glow, She examined the room at every inch; she even went to the open doors and, drawing the curtain aside, walked out upon the Verandah, peering into the semi light and the shadows with an in terithess which ' nothing unusual could have escaped. She was completely baffled. Fear was gaining the upper hand; but she decided to extinguish the light once again, in .the hope that the figures might at last-explain them selves to a mind which was fast losing its normal faculties. Draw ing the curtain, she sought her pallet and placed the lamp beside it but the moment its flame was extinguished the horrible figures, which seemed to have gathered in to themselves every evil that dark ness breeds, reappeared and began anew their unearthly dance. Her self-control gave way sud denly, like an overstrained cord, and a scream was now the only possible expression of her pent-up emotions and then a quick suc cession of screams and half ar ticulations "Joe! Joe! Come at. once be quick, be quick ! Joe ! Joe ! and then her physical strength failed as suddenly, and she could no more than wring her hands and moan. Awakened from his unquiet sleep by the scream, and instantly re sponsive, the nephew hastily put on gown and slippers ami ran dov n stairs, with a pistol in his hand. He did not wait to light his candle, which in any event would have exposed him to the intruder, if an intruder were the cause of the un mistakable note of terror in the call for help. When he reached the living room he saw dimly the two figures on the pallet and heard the mother and the child, the lat ter now awake and crying bitterly, alarmed and distressed at the strange change in her mother. The young man knelt beside the pal let, placing his hand on the wo man's ' shoulder and speaking to her reassuringly, asking what he matter was. "Oh, look!" was all she could say, pointing toward the verandah "what can those horrible figures be? What trouble for us does this mean? Is this a dance of death?" Her voice had faded to a 'nere broken whisper, but the hearer could feel in it the wail of a tail ing mind. He looked over his shoulder in the direction indicated, and for a moment was petrified with aston ishment. He knew at once th 'it there was neither hallucination nor illusion there. He SAW, and SAW CLEARLY, the solemn mockery. The sight intensified every mental and physical faculty in him, and he turned to face it, ready to pit his wit and his strength and cour age against any phantom from any sphere. ' As he looked, an emotion with which no fear was mingled took possession of him, The un couth dance, staged in that house and at that time, was a desecra tion. It should have been enough that every home in the south suf fered from the war; was it needed that this insult should follow suf fering? Steeled by a cold hatred, the young man raised his pistol and fired at the living shadows. For a brief moment there seemed to be a livelier stir amongst them, but they immediately reverted to their grave measures. Again he fired a head fell forward upon its breast, but immediately restored itself to its accustomed place. Yet again the pistol rang an arm disappear ed, but quickly rejoined its blood less body. The young man could stand no more. With uncontrollable rage he arose to his feet and flew at the dancers -and, tearing tha flimsy curtain" from its suspending rings and throwing it in a heap upon the floor, he dashed out upon the verandah, prepared to meet any danger but dreading a continuance of uncertainty and itispeaic. Noth- - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES and COMINGS AND GOINGS Hallowe'en Party fur Maxwell is Big; Success The Hallowe'en party .it KojiVrs Hall on Friday night was, truly speaking, a howling success! No other place in Franklin could have accommodated the crowd iliat came in families, and in car loads, to the. top of the crie lull where the big hall was dimly lighted by Jack O' Lanterns. Creeping white ghosts and bl..ck witches in ImkIi hats conducted the guests to then destinations. The palm reading booth, presided over by Rose Rogers in a c.liaiin 'nK gypsy costume, was crowded throughout the evening. The "pea-nut vender," Maigai el Cozad, kept her corner lively by telling "fortunes'' ill pea-nut shells. The "chamber of horrors" ironi which agonized yells issued con tinually, was conducted bv Mis, l L. Siler.

And the best, part of all was, the party was iven for OV.ll Maxwell Home, for Maxwell is. a part of Macon county. Becau-a.-it has been supported by the Pres byterians many have the idea that it is a Presbyterian institution only. The records show that they have had fewer boys from Pres bvterian homes than any other Many, have been from homes f no church people.
