CHAPTER XII.
ANOTHER STRANGER APPEARS.

ANOTHER STRANGER APPEARS
James Melvin, whose real name was
Frank Shelton, did not 60 away from
Possum Ridge, as Louisa had advised
him to do, but he had tarried on from
day to day in the hope Of seeing her
again and promising himself that as
soon as he had another interview with
her he would take his departure. His
purpose in seeing her again was to
make strong and final effort to in
duce her to accompany him to some
point in the far west where they
would remain unknown and where, as
he reasoned, they could lead safe and
happy lives.
One evening he came in from long
tramp in the woods, where he had
gone ostensibly to prospect for mineral,
and found Turner sitting in front Of
the house in deep study. He watch
ed the old man for a little while, then
called out gayly to him:
"a penny for your thoughts, Mr..
Turner"
The old man gave a start and looked
up.

"Going to hold them for rise in the
market, eh?"
"Mebby. Guess I'll offer 'em for sale
bout the time you put your mines on
the market. S'pose you found oodlins
Of mineral today, didn't your"
"No, didn't find any"
"That SO? Too bad, amt it?"

locate mineral, you know"
81 see it does. 1t pears to take time
even when you don't locate it too.

MINISTER WU.
Impression That the Noted Chlnaman Made on
the PEOPLE OF Charlotte.

lmpTtSSIUH IHdl VUlCu "ouC VII
the People Of Charlotte.
The city Of Charlotte showed no
end of consideration to Minister WI on
the occasion Of his visit last Thursday
as the guest Of the Manufacturers
club. Almost everybody was curious
to see the distinguished Chinaman,
and a majority Of the people succeed
ed in getting at least passing glimpse
Of him.
Minister WI is a fat and jolly look
ing Chinaman. His face shows great
intelligence and strength, and his man.
ner Is one Of certain self-possession
that indicates full consciousness of ex-
alted position. Still the old fellow
knows how to make himself thor
oughly agreeable with all kinds of peo-
pie and under all circumstances.
A feature Of Mr.. Wus entertainment
was an excursion among the cotton
factories. He showed great interest
and much curiosity. Like Ii Hung
Chang, he asked lots Of questions, and
he did not confine these questions to
the members Of the committee that
had him in charge. He went direct
to the operatives, and inquired OF
them. At the Atherton mill, the first
one visited, he quickly gravitated to-
ward the best looking operative in
sight, and put himself under her in
struction, very much to the amusement
Of the people who were with him.
At a reception to the ladies Of Char
lotte, given at the rooms of the Manu-
facturers' club, Thursday afternoon,
the minister was the lion of the occa-
sion. He proved most agreeable. The
Observer relates that one young lady
asked: "Mr. WI, are all the men In
China as nice as you are?' The
shrewd Celestial was not at a loss as
to how to meet such an. embarrassing
question; but on the instant replied:
II shall answer your question by ask
ing one; are all the young ladies OF
Charlotte as sweet as you are?' The
young lady was knocked out, and she
passed on.
Having been educated in Europe,
Minister WI speaks English perfect
". 1t developed, too, that he knew
how to eat of American dishes just
as Americans do. He appeared to be
particularly fond Of chicken and
eggs: and partook literally Of almost
everything that was set before him.

"She says: Don't say that. You amt

"Then what did she say"
"She didn't say nothin."
"Jest stood thar an never opened her
mouth"
"At first she did, but after while,
when be had crowded her right smart
an had said to her, You do love me,
don't your she up an says: God knows

"Wonder why. Any woman was to
tell me, like that, she loved me I'd

"Not If she wouldn't let you, guess"
wouldn't she let him?"
"Not much; wouldn't let him tech
her, only her hands"
"What else did they say"

low, but | heerd her call him Frank

For a full minute Sans auditors sat
staring at him In establishment Then
Hicks broke the silence by calculating:

They all shook their heads. and again
there was silence. After little Hicks

"'Bout putin the law after that fel-
low-that's all right, an I'm willin to
help you. But bout tellin Sim Banks
are you willin to be the one to do 1t,
Jason Roberts?"
Jason made no reply. Pap put the
same question to Hicks and Sam Nor
gan and the others, and they all shook
their heads. Then he turned to Thorn
and said:
"Jim Thorn. are you willin to be the
one to tell Sim Banksf"
1T amt nothin to me-" Thorn re-
piled. IAN guess amt got no call to
mix up In no slch matters"
THAT'S sensible, Jim, an l feel bout
1t jest like the rest of you," Hicks said.

Sim Banks nothln, an the best thing
we can do Is to keep our mouths shet.

Melvin arose and began to pace SLOW
ly to and fro across the yard. His
hands were crossed behind him, and
his head was bent. and to all outward
appearances his mind was busy with
deep and serious thoughts. Turner
watched him from under his shaggy
brows, and he, too, was having some
thoughts far deeper and far more seri-
GUS than any one knew.
After awhile Melvin stopped In front
of Turner and asked:
"How far Is it over to hi Jenkins
place."
"'Bout two mile, reckon" Turner
replied, "risin clost on to that anyhow.

Mr.. Augustus Thomas lex play,
Arizona" which will be presented at
the Opera House tuesday evening,
April 23d, in a return engagement, is a
drama depicting western life inter
mingled with a love episode which is
sure to win its way to the hearts of
everybody. Estrella Bonham, the wife
Of the colonel of the Eleventh United
States Cavalry, a woman who is adored
by her husband in his soldierly fashion,
!. e., too much attention to the regiment
and not enough to home duties, has al
most been led into an ENHANCEMENT
with handsome Captain Hodgman of her
husbands staff of officers. An ardent
note, written by Hodgman to Mrs. Bon
ham, has been intercepted by Miss Iona
Kellar, a servant in the colonel's house
hold .(whom this same captain had
wronged a veal before and is handed
to Lieut.. Denton (also in the colonel's
service), who is in love with Bonita
Candy, Mrs. Bonham's younger sister.
Young Denton arrives in time to dis
i~llusionize the colonel's wife of her in
fatuation of Hodgman, but on the col
onel's sudden return, he is placed in the
embarrassing position of the person
who had attempted to destroy the colo
nel's happiness, which necessitates his
retiring from the army. ihe scene is
now transferred to Canby's ranch, where
young Denton, upon processing his love
for Bonita Candy, is admitted to a part
nership with the honest old ranchman.
The arrival of the Eleventh United
States Cavalry on a forced march with
Colonel Bonham, his wife, Captain
Hodgman and all the principals Of the
preceding episode, hastens matters to
an uncomfortable crisis, during which a
quarrel ensues and Captain EIodgman is
shot. A court martial follows, in which
young Denton is accused OF deliberately
numbering Captain Hodgman, but upon
the confession of Tony Mostano, a Va
cuero on the ranch, who acknowledges
that he shot Captain Hodgman on ac-
