VENERABLE FOX HUNTER THE VICTIM OF SCORES OF MATRIMONIAL PRO POSITIONS AND AN ADVENTURESS i _____ BUT HE FELL NOT; AYE, HE FELL NOT Ac a Result of Story io an Atlan ta Paper His Hand is Sought in Marriage. A petite miss, over whose mass of i raven locks not more than twenty < au m me ru have sped, and in thc depths j of whose large, lustrous black eyes l gleamed well-springs of a strange and < puzzling; fire, tripped up on the ver- < anda of Col. James T. Roberts' coun- i try home yesterday about noon and I announced that she had come to plight I tho troth of a handsome-dame of At- i lanta, resident ot Peachtree street, 1 who had seen in an Atlanta Sunday i paper a large photograph of the fot- i skin-overcoat clad Andereoniah and i read an accompanying article setting j forth that Col. Roberts would bestow ] a reward of $2,000 upon the individual \ who would find him a suitable wife, j The would-be match-maker spent ] several hours in Anderson in a des- / perate effort to rope the well known | fox-hunter in, and uttered a deep sigh < of despair yesterday afternoon when % the colonel, after taking her to a res- 1 taurant and giving her a good feed, i placed her in a hack and sent her to- t ward the railway station, gently ad- v monlshing her the while to retrace i her footsteps to Atlanta and remind- t lng her that he might sometimes be 1 taken for a. fool but be darned if he c would knowingly be a Bucker. c The whole trouble, for Colonel i Roberts considers the 48 matrimonial offers which he received in a Bingle mail yeserday morning and his fair j caller to be troublesome, began with ] an. article which appeared in a Sun- ? day Atlanta paper. Col. Roberta was \ in Atlanta last week in the Interest j of a motion picture of a fox chase j which was staged here several days . ago by an Atlanta producing firm. \ During his stay tn the "Gate City of ?j the South" he was "grape-juiced and \ dined" by several friends. In golpg < about the city Col. Roberts was garb- ; cd in his now famous overcoat, mad* j of the skins of 39 foxes which his pack j ot a'half-hundred trusty hounds have , brought down in the fields of Florida , and elsewhere. The greatcoat attract- y ed the eye of Atlanta people and par tlcularly the binoculars of an enter- , prising newspaper reporter, who ac- j Companied the colonel on his social rounds Col. Roberta said that in his mean- ? dcrlags ai? JUL the city he may have lei drop some remark-as he often does , about Anderson- that he would give ' $10,000 for the right kind of a wira, and a large reward to the ' one who would produce a spouse that would como up to bis own notions.of whst a companion of this type should be. Tho reporter, Col. Roberts says, must have drawn on his imagination, for In the paper of Sunday morning appear ed a thrilling story to the effect, that Col. Roberts would give $2.000 to the person* who would find him a mate." L Accompanying the article was a pho toarsnh of C?' Roberts wearing his well known coat.' -W^WWljp The t aller Calls. Tho venorable fox-chaser returned to Anderson Sunday and thought no more of the incidents ef his Atlanta trip until yesterday morning, when this dainty creature tripped up to his habitat- an:'. Inquired if this was the man who,had .offered tho reward of $2.000 to the person who would bring him a wife to his own choice. At first tho colonel was a bit dazed and thought that someone was attempting U play a practical joke on him. When tht young lady hauled out a copy of . the Atlanta paper and showed him tho artit'e In question he realised what was up. rammed his wad a little fur ther ?own In his pocket and Invited tho y jun s lady to have a seat on the ' porch. The fair visitor made known her mtBsum and Informed the colonel that be -would be receiving, very probably missives from love-lorn Atlanta maid ens and matrons, who were sick for a little coddling but strong In desire fer a hunk of tho colonel's bank roll. With that'Colonel Roberts suggested that they, go down to h's mail box. as the rural carrier had just passed. "As a rale. I do not receive more than one or two letters a' week," mused the col onel, "but'it may be that some one will write mo sure enough." Ere the well known, fox-chaser' had reached his mall box he discovered mall mat ter protruding from every erevico of the receptacle. On examination he dis covered Jual 48 letters, every single 1 iii - ? VOLUME 1, NUMBER 342. rTeeUy, E.tabUshed i860; D?fljr, Janis, ?1?. ANDERSON, S.

Colonel Roberts was busy with hits mail and laughing heartily over the missives, while the young lady wes exceeding the speed limit in au at tempt to get him to desist from read ing' inor? letters and give ear to her proposition of returning Immediately to Atlanta with her and marrying thc woman whoso cause she had come to plead. Enter Newspaper Mea. . The young adventuress was con siderably frustrated by the swooping ilown of the two newspaper mea. She made a great effort to put up a big bluff, but the pencil pushers were wise to the game and admonished her to come clean and band out the dope, If she wished to escape publicity in tho Atlanta papers, which, she avow ed, with looks of distress, would ne'er io. After considerable beating about the bush, retrenching and other tac tics of dialect .she turned her talk into the proper chaque!? and yielded Lip the info., which the news hounds sought. She averred that she was not in applicant for the hand of the colo nel herself, but did not attempt to sonceal the . fact tbat4sue desired to latch down on thc two thousand plunks which she fas^eved the colo nel was about I'D drop to the one who 'OL'ntl him a wife. Of course, she did ioi put it in that language. On thc mntrary. she framed a real cute Ut ile story- a little doll baby romance iffair, gilded over with sentimental ruff stating that She was engaged ?ersclf, and merely wished the colo ?el to go back to Atlanta and marry he woman whom she represented, in >rdcr that there might be a double redding, the participants being Colo mi Roberts and the Peachtree street fenus and her and her fiance. The lionel's two thousand plunks was to lefray the expenses of her honey noon, don't you know He Falleth Not. The fair caller dwelt long and lav shly upon the excellent traits of the Peachtree street goddess, but her litp ngs were as the gentle drippings of he rain upon a duck's well-oiled back, 'or the colonel simply wouldn't fall or it. Ever and anon he would sug rest to tho fair caller that lt was un necessary for her or him to return to ktlanta, meaning, of course, to drop the same hint to her that -Priscilla >nce let drop to John Alden. But the Pilgrim Fathers' atuff didn't strike lome at all with the petite creature, for she railed her Iuminious, liquid ryes-as big as beets, round as onions ind mellow ps ripe 'May pops"- and insisted on the colonel taking tho next [fain 'back to Atlanta with her. Sne carried in ber muff a photograph of the Atlanta matron along the side of ajhom she wished, to pose Colonel Robert? and clap on the double har ness of matrimony. .But-the colonel "lowed** ie nad always heon nsed to working in singlo harneas, and didn't care at this time to buck the world hitched bo a Ally whom he had never Been, heard toll of or dreamed about. .' The conversation ran on for a merry spell the colonel enjoyed it immensely and the newspaper men wishing for a camera to snap the scene of the petite miss perspiring over her Job of trying to ensnare the Wily old hunter, who himself had en snared hundreds of foxes, tnough not of the female human kind that posed fetchingly before him then. .? Oh, Yen Letters. The newspaper men. helped the colonel read some ot his letters, some of which were evidently penned by womeh of education and what might be termed erstwhile refinement. . As several of them were written on hotel stationery, It ' la presumed that the? were written hy human vampires who aro said to frequent some of thc hotels lp the big Southern city. . Some minutes after the newspaper men bad departed. Colonel Roberta and hm guest came down town. He escorted her to a restaurant, where he ordered the waiters to bring on the feed; and plenty of it. When thia scene ot tho little melodrama bad.been completed, Colonel Roberta escorted tho young lady to hor hotel,' where he instructed her to get her- baggage and prepare to depart hence forevermore He called a hack and instructed thc driver to carry ht to tue railway station. With the young adventures! out ot his sight, the colonel turned, tc some friends standing by and said that he believed he would get rid o! his fox-skin cost ss he believed it wai a hoodoo.
