Mountain Detective John w. Wright
had come, and in that room were
four men accused of murder he meant
to have. Behind Detective Wright
stood his brother, Sol Wright, and
another officer, and the six pistols of
the three men effectively covered the
40 mountaineers in the room.
Josh Bentley, lack Bentley, stand
outi" commanded John Wright. The
two men stood forward.
IF man in the room moves, shoot
him." said the leader of the officers.
He put up his pistol and stepped into
the room. AS he did so a shot fired
from the left of the cabin knocked
off his hat. He caught it as it fell,
drew his pistol quickly again and
placed it against lack Bentley's head.
/, Another move and 1 blow out his
brains" Wright shouted. There was
not sound after that.
The two Bentley boys were hand
cuffed. Then Wright paused. There
were two others there, his own first
cousins, whom he must arrest
Martin and John Wright, come
here" The pair came forward sheep
ishly and held out their hands. De-
tective Wright slipped on the
shackles. Then he bowed to the as
sembled company.
"You kin go on with yer dance"
he said. There air II others that
I'm a-goin' to get some time, but
don't see any of them here"
Then the officers walked out with
the four men, for whom a reward of
$500 has been offered.
'I'll git the other IL that are mixed
in the murder of Mrs. Hall and her
boy, Sherwood Reynolds" said
Wright, when he put his prisoners in
Jail, and everybody in the mountains
knows that he will do it.

bound to respect it, did not invite
intimacy, and made even our friend
ship a plant of slow growth.
"A family trait" he laughinplv
remarked one day. "The DeRoldes.

he stood, his heels together in mill
tary fashion, his head thrown back.
he looked, in spite of his small
stature and delicate frame, the equal

I Meanwhile the Lenten season was
drawing near its close, and on every
aide heard mention of the beautiful
Mile. Rosiere, whom Rex had chosen
TO be queen of the carnival.
"Mlle. Marie? Yes, certainly ]

in answer to my question, while a
curious expression, which was al
loss to interpret, fitted across his
face. As I ytiIl looked inquiringly

Amid the mingling of voices in a
chaos of farewells, which were watt
ed to me as my steamer pushed slow
~ from the pier, this last injunction
sounded. 1t was impossible to tell
by the tone from which particular
one of my friends it came, and to
me this has always been a source of
regret. 1t is interesting to trace
from its slender beginnings the twin
Ing thread of destiny.
At New Orleans the colonel well
coined me with a charming hospital

days past and gone.

hollow trunk of the tree two tiny
catamounts, or wildcats.
Mrs. Link carried the baby cata-
mounts to her mountain home, a dis
lance of ten miles. Then she deter
mined to domesticate these kittens.
AT first the creatures were inclined
to be vicious and resented all her
friendly approaches. They gradually
became docile and in time followed
Mrs. Link wherever she went. She
would take them on her hunting
trips, and soon discovered that the
cats would indicate to her the near
