October, 1919, and soon after his
father and a large family emigrated
to Weakley county, Tenn, where the
family in the future resided. Here
Emerson worked on the farm. He at
tended school only nine days in his
life, but he was a constant reader
and was familiar with the classics.
He early decided to study law, and
went to Dresden, where. under J. A.
Gardner, he read and equipped him

Etheridge, like his father and his
ancestors, was a democrat, but he
was a man OF his own mind, and there
was an anti-Jackson sentiment grow

Love Leads to Conflagration

CIemence Blossier is young
French girl. Is years Old. All true
lovers should learn her namt-not to
emulate her exploits, for the unfortu-
nate Clemance is serving prison SEN
tenco of ten years at hard labor but
because she appeals to the lover and
TO all the world which loves a lover
as one who has done much and suffer
ed much because OF her wild atec-
tons
When Cupid in the final adjustment
of human affairs calls the roll of his
disciples who have sacrificed much
and gained little for him he will read
the names of Medea, Antony Fran
cesca and Paolo, Dante and Beatrice,
Romeo and Juliet, and other
iIustrious ones. and the name of
ClemeLce Blossier will lie among
them.
The story of Clemence is one Of
parental ire, true devotion, burning
village, a bold lover, a swift horse and
a rapid flight, a still more rapid pur-
suit and then the prison, where the
girl will toll away her young years
Of grace and beauty and from which
s.. will emerge a broken down
woman.
1t is story of love in which the
emotional actress could have free
Ye.u. which would have a climax
every i've minutes and a sensational
scene at every step, one which would
Keep the gallery critics in one con
jinuous round Of applause.
In the village OF Anyers, near
Pontoise. the romance of Clemence
began. She fell in love with Jules
Hondweu, a young cavalry soldier
stationed in the barracks at Pontoise.
When ClemenCe was working in the
fields with her father and her
brothers, the dashing Jules would go
by on the road with his squadron and
the girl would stand and gaze until a
sharp rebuke from her father brought
her back to her work,
Then Jules found a way to be
strolling through the woods when
Clemence went for the COWS and after
they had come wandering home
several times without the herd the
family decided that one of the
younger brothers had best take that
work.
The peasant, who was head of the
BIossiCr, looked with distrustful eyes
at the young soldier who came court
ing his daughter. A sedate farmer of
the yiCininty had been selected as the
husband OF Clemence and her mar
riage portion had been agreed upon.
That should have been enough to
settle the matter, but it was not.
The sedate farmer was old and
Clemence would have none of him.
Blossier ordered the cavalryman off
the place, but the insolent Jules just
twisted his mustache and scowled at
the peasant until Blossier trembled
Then he laughed and met Clemence
on the road.
When matters had come to a state
of open rebenOn in the BlOssier house
hold the father asserted his authority
and the girl was locked in her room,
held prisoner under lock and key
and the shrewd peasant even put
heavy iron bars on the windows of
her room. Then he laughed at Jules
and shrugged his shoulders as the
heavy cayalIyman rode up and down
the road and whistled in vain for
Clemence.
To his daughter he said that lie

Ii Clemence had been the ordinary
girl it would have been completed
soon Parental authority would have

But ClemenCe is not the ordinary

also secured matches, and one night
when she could hear Jules riding to

of the torches and threw it out of her
barred window on to the root of the
nearest cottage.
The house was afire in q second,
but ClemenCe was sJill busy. AS far
