While the officers were watching and the merrymaking was in full swing in the house three big negroes came scampering through the woods, where the officers were concealed, carrying betw een them a large pot full of hot -; peas. It developed that tho peas were the "refreshments" which were tb be served after the ball was over. The ?heft of thc refreshments was not dis covered until some time after thc three negroes with the pot had disap peared tn the distance and devoured the peas, immediately pandemonium broke ioxmc in th? dance hali and a small army of negroes rushed out across the fields in search of the thieves. Far up the road they heard the three negroes beating a tattoo upon the pot. using their spoons for drumsticks. This was a signal to tho pursuing gang that the pot had been eaten clean. About that Mme Jerome Sloan Whipped out a pistol and tired In'the direction of tho negroes who had swiped the pot of peas.
