He straight- way began a courtship as a widower would naturally conduct such an affair. He did not daily. and he did not make undue haste; he planted his foot firmly .' on each step and. when he considered . it advisable. took another step. L The moment Mr. Dabney realized , Mr. Carr's intentions a great revolution . sprang up within ‘him. It had suddenly , been revealed to him that he could not f spare Miss Conway. His manner to i ward her changed at once. From an in. g tellectual companionship he stepped ; ‘-“ ‘â€"’â€" ~ recognize a better position than one he . held and step up on to it. Neverthe : less. as a typical southerner born and ; bred under the peculiar systems then - in vogue in the south, he could not? step over that gulf of ideas which separzged him from a progressive - north. f Mr. Dahney’s pleasant intellectual: companionship with Miss Conway rev ceived a sudden shock.

Mr. Dabney. was Just the man to be attracted to such a girl as Miss Conway. “While; she was northern born and bred, he 7 was representative of the best therei was in the south.

I It was shortly after the Mexican war that Miss Belle Conway went to Ten- nessee from Uhiu to take the position In the north at the opening of the century the sacrifice of one of the mast gifted ot American statesmen, Alexander Hamilton, gave dueling its quietus. ln the south it lasted much longer.

As such I ask to know if 1 in any way enter into the cause of this affair.” The question was received in silence. “I have the word of one whom neither of you would question that it I had shown a decided preference for either of you this affair would not have occurred. If my informant is correct and you will drop this quarrel I will decide between you.” Though there was no reply it was evident that both principals assented to the proposition. “Why is it so unfortunate?" asked Miss Conway anxiously. 3 “My son and Mr. Ca’ are going to ' fight a duel!” ' “Fight a duel? Whenâ€"where?” “I don’t know.” “I must see these men, and together. I will decide between them at once.” boro, while seconds were pacing ofl‘ the ground for their principals to fight on, a carriage containing Miss Conway drove up, and the lady stepped out. She was greeted with astonishment by the dueling party. The next morning at sunrise In an open Space in a wood near Murfrees- "Mr. ter. Mrs. Dabney promised to find out If possible when and where the affair was to take place, and Miss Conway was to be there and make an effort to stop it. It would be impossible for Miss Con- way to see them together. There was but one way for her to act in the mat- later a colored servant came to Miss Conway, who was at work with the children, and said: “Missy Belle, Missus Dabney down in de parlo’ and wants to see yo’ right away.” Miss Conway looked at the messen- ger with astonishment. Why should the mother of Archibald Dabney wish to see her and so hurriedly? Leaving the children and their lessons, she went at once to the parlor. There she found the caller evidently moved by a great emotion. Miss Conway saw a mention of the trouble in print. but had no idea of its purport. She neither realized that so slight an affair would lead two men to try to kill each other nor had the faint- est suspicion that she was the real cause of it. She could not understand how so gentlemanlike a person as Dab- ney could accuse another gentleman of impure motives or how the other could fling back the accusation in a way she considered fitted only for a rowdy. Nevertheless she knew enough of southern customs to realize that no gentleman there could call another a liar without serious consequences. During the morning a carriage was driven up to Colonel Rathbone’s house, and a lady alighted. A few minutes The politit-al discussion that had tak- en pluce between her two suitors and the insult one had given the other soon came to the ears of Belle Conway. for it was public- property. Indeed. it was commented upon by every newspaper in the county .\'0 one but the principals in the ufl'air knew the real cause of the ditfieulty behind the one that was put forward to the world. There was no mention in the journals of a probable duel between tne two men. but there was an expectation of one. In those days to call a man a liar was to re( eive a blow in return. But these two men understood each other both knowing that Dabney‘ s aspersion upon Carr‘ 5 pnliti<al status was a noti- tication to him that if he wanted Miss Conway he must fight for. her. not with his fists. but with the weapon com- monly used among gentlemen in those days. a Derringer pistol. Dabney made no reply to Carr calling: him :1 liar. but later sent a friend to him demanding a retraction and an apology for the in- sult. Carr refused either to retract or apologize. and a meeting: was arranged between the two men that exists between rivals. Unfam- nately. Mr. Dnhuey was just entering the field of polities as a Whig. and Mr. Carr had for some time been a promi- nent Democrat. The election that land- ed one of the two leaders in the war with 3 lexit-o in the presitlenvy was 90min}: on. Carr supported Lewis Cass and Dalmey entered the field for Zach- ary Tailor.
