THIRD INSTALLMENT

Newer and more aggressive houses
we're springing up everywhere, marking
. recent real estate boom. Their red
brick facades, red sandstone trimmings
and bulging towers gave them the look
Of monsters, flushed with anger, swollen
with righteous indignation. On the
whole Admah preferred them to the
pallid gray mansions with balconies Of
Iron filigree. They had the air Of
wealth. Only rich men could have
walked up their sandstone steps and
banged their stained glass doors.
And such a philosophic tour had
brought him one morning to the door
of All Souls Church. Queer how
that picture had fingered in his mind.
The niger nanny tOtin' that
baby acrost both hands like it was
million dollars worth of pound cake.
Gosh. And look at the lace on the
babyl 80.
On q Sunday morning when Ma had
taken 10 to her Baptist church and
Admah had stayed home, because his
shoes weren't blaCked, he wandered up
to the Fort. Throwing himself among
the dry grasses, he lay mOOdily on his
stomach, and from his height enjoyed
3 twisted view of the City which en-
chanted him with it's palaces. Life to
the small boy is usually objective. 1t
Is the romance of action. But some
times into his dream comes flash of
Belf-analysis, transitory and harmless
Rs heat-lghtning. What had got into
him that day when he saw the baby
with all its lace being carried into the
big church? Gosh. thought he. 1t
was only baby after all. And what
would he be doing. when he was a man,
walking into a christening with a stove
pipe hat on, just to have his baby
sprinkled by one O. them high-toned
preachers? He'd have something bet
ter n that to do with his time. Yes,
irl
He would. He knew he would.

CHAPTER 5

One afternoon at the hour of whist
and chess DR.. Furniss, who had Offici-
ated at the birth of Sallie Livingstone
Peake's three children, sat slipping his
bourbon with DR.. Wiggin, the clergy
man who had christened them. They
occupied their accustomed corner in
the old Pickwick Club, which still re-
tanned something of its ante-bellum air,
conceding little to the hurried Yam
keeism of 1896. On the occasions
when DR.. Furniss and DR.. Wiggin sat
thus, topping like gentlemen, important
things were settled in the affairs of
that society which they served with
honor, the one ministering to its body,
the other to its soul.
'I tell you, Alec" the clergyman was
rolling out in his best pulpit voice,
I'VE can t. hold out forever. Some day
the distillers and the brewers will be
marrying our daughters and coming
into gentlemen's homes just like"
Into the satsuma Clam" asked the
doctor with an incredulous smile.
"satsuma what?" counter-questioned
DIR. Wiggin. You damn our society
with q fine pagan name"
''Why not?" At this the little doc
or rolled his big head OF his short
neck. 1.-The South has always been
pagan, sir. Henry, you old rascal,
you're just as pagan as ecclesiastical
law will allow
"Take care, Alec" DR.. Wiggin
began it severely, then mellowed and
asked, "But where does the Satsuma
Clan come tn?"
"It's Japanese" admitted DR.. Fur
Mss, "but it applies. The Satsuma
la n conveys ideas; the right to rule,
ereditary privilege, unquestioned au-
hOrity. I'm only a half-breed Satsu-
ma" he went on with a smile, and DR..
Wiggin knew what he meant-the elder
Furniss had been a carpet-bagger, ar
dving after the Civil War. I'm only
half breed, but realize my power"
DR.. Wiggin folded his hands; it was
ike the clasping of shell tight around
his broad person. DR.. Furniss, he
thought, was talking too much for the
fashionable physician of his highly re-
spectacle parish. But Alec was char
acter. He had always been loved for
his whimsical turns-and Satsuma Clan
was good phrase.
''But royal succession, persisted the
doctor, ais matter Of biology, the way
about everything is. Satsuma chiefs
breed themselves out Of existence. The
cell gets bored with easy living and de-

CHAPTER z

In Rol Peake's bOyhood General
Hunter Livingstone still held for hin
self an eighteen acre tract of land con.
verging on Helicon Parks statue
guarded residences. General Living
stone was the only mortal being who
managed to inspire the Peakes with any
degree of awe. General and Mrs
Livingstone, who were to the children's
eyes far older landmarks than the beet
ling cliffs along the River, held aloOi
from the world and made laws accord
ing to their own pleasure. 1t was the
Generals wish that boys and girls OF
the Livingstone kin (and very few OF
their friends) be allowed to enter his
grounds and play there during the day
light hours. His rose and clematis
hedges, running all around the domain,
concealed the sharp teeth Of barbed
wire, a menace to all commoners. His
gates were supposed to be guarded by
negroes; a broad vein of tolerance in
the African nature made possible q
small adventure which weaves thinly
into the web Of our story.

cides to commit suicide. That's what
happened to Cato Livingstone"
HE became a cell. you meanT'
asked DR.. Wiggin, blinking his little
elephants eyes.
''No. He became a collection Of
bored cells. The brain cells went on
strike and commanded Cato to wipe
out the whole mess, themselves in
cluded, with a forty-four bullet"
1.-THE newspapers called it a failure in
tobacco" said DR.. Wiggin.
"Of course. De nortuis NIL mist
and you preached the sermon"
''I never thought Cato would come
to that" reflected DR.. Wiggin.
"Wild blood mingled when his
daughter married Garnett Peake."
There was never any harm in Sally
Livingstone" said DR.. Wiggin indul-
gently.
"There was a good deal of wear and
tear to any neighbOrhoOd she lived in.
Remember how she threw Sam Mac
millan's engagement ring into vacant
lot because Sam wouldn't fight Jim
Howard? The niggers have been digg-
in in that lot now for ten years, trying
to find that ring. And the day she was
engaged to Garnett Peal1e she rode her
horse up the Court House steps-on
bet, of course. But it's long fight of
stepsT'
"Sam sent her a bucket of calf's
brains as a wedding present. said DR..
Wiggin solemnly. II always thought
it very poor joke"
"Just another case of the weakening
cell. In the old days Garnett would
have called Sam out. The Satsumas
don't fight like they used to-
THAT'S lucky" reflected DR.. Wig
gin. Seems to me Sally's been lots
Quieter for several years"
"Children," said DR.. Furniss.
Seriously" DR.. Wiggin raised his
heavy brows.
"Biologically. She married too
young. That's one of the grudges I
hold against you, Henry; you lead these
little girls from the cradle to the altar
and expect me to repair the damage.
Sally did surprisingly well with the first
two, but the last ones given her
trouble"
But that was five years ago. Let's
see-I christened her in 1891"
"Cato's death was a real shock to
Sally. She was enough like the old
man to care lot for him. And the
youngest baby"
LET me see. There are three Of 'em.
aren't there?"
"You ought to know. They all go to
your Sunday school,"
"I remember that little red-headed
one"
They're all reddish-haired like the
Livingstones. Can't you remember
what you sprinkled holy water on?
But know the one you mean. The
little one. She'll be ridin' a pony up
the City Hall steps before she's twenty
one, or I'll never bet again"
DIR. Furniss finished his second glass
Of Pearl of Nelson, arose heavily and
consulted his fat gold watch. 1t was
half past five.
"While we're on the subject" he
drawled, ''it reminds me that I've
promised to see Sally before supper
time"
So they separated, these two middle
aged men whose professions. polar Op-
posites intellectually, equally concern
the two honest moments of civilized
life-birth and death. By force of
Theology on the one hand and Biology |
on the other each had contributed his
share toward holding the Peake family
upon its eminence.

CHAPTER 8

When Flora Lee Peake was five years
old she and her sister. Margaret, were
enough alike to be twins-twins who,
by some freak of DR.. Furniss' pet bio
logy, had been born in different sizes.
To say that they came into the world
like dolls would be spreading insult;
but in infancy there was bisque per-
fection about the famous Peake sisters.
At very early age the dolls became
imps and a continual scandal to their
elder brother, Roland; he was good
fellow, a good smoker, a good fighter
who never varied a shade from the con-
ventional colorinR Of his class.
Milford chronicle., 1925-03-06

Roland Peake was ten when Flora
Lee was FIVE; Margaret aged eight, was
the spirited sister. Like a little rebel
she stood up to Rol, naming his tyran-
MES by their awful names. The black
jury Of nursemaids, who sat on bench
in Helicon Park and tried the cases Of
the day, used to refer to Margaret as
the child who favored her Ma. "She
so ba-adl" old Linda would moan
proudly. She should have known,
since at that period in the development
Of the Peal5e sisters Linda surmiSed-
not without trepidation-that Flora
Lee would turn out to be studious and
thoughtful. Linda was good nurse
but a poor prophecies. A temporary
fault in her digestion gave to Flora Lee
look which cOunterfeited spirituality;
before the year was over old Linda dis
covered her mistake and renewed her
faith in a physical Satan.
Stature aside, the Peake girls differed
only in subtleties. Physically Flora
Lee was shade the finer; purer blond,
softer skinned, smaller boned. Her
hair was not so heavy as Margaret's,
but it held the pallid gold of an italian
fgurine. Margarets eyes were the
more beautiful; they had the candid
quality of crystal against warm grey
velvet. Flora Lees were shot with
hazel-the youthful portrait of General
Horatio Peake, Continental Army.
showed eyes like hers, accounting pos
sibly for his record as a duellist and ar
instigator of duels. From infancy that
dash of hazel gave Flora Lee an adVan-
tage.
