MAsoUERADEs AS A MAN.
MooresyiIIe Enjoys for Brief While
the Presence of Handsome
Young Photographers.

Mooresville, N. c., April 12.-How
the discovery WAS II4,.-.- -.JL quite
clear 1t might have been the effeml-
nate softnesS and glow of her cheek,
the delicacy of her hands and feet the
arch curve of lip or the mingled CO.
auetry and shyness of her eyes. No
matter: Mooresville was of a sudden
all athrill with the whisper that the
handsome young photographer posing
as a boy of eighteen was not of the
male sex at all. He-or rather she
was a woman indulging in little
masquerade.
He-I beg her pardon--she came
to this place about five weeks ago.
She-as boy-was decidedly fetch
ing. But suspicion arose. They
leased him-oh hang it all-her /
mean, indicating strongly that her at
tire was of the wrong gender. How
she took this gentle chaff from her
fellow boarders is not disclosed. How
ever, the matter came buzZing to the
ears of some prominent men of the
place, who thought it their duty to call
upon the attractive young photogra-
pher They did SO. The result was
confusion, confession.
She said she was detective. She
added that she was endeavoring to
pipe down" a gang of counterfeiters.
She stated that she had assumed the
habiliments of the coarser sex to carry
out this design.
The gentlemen suggested that she
might find skirts more suitable to her
peculiar style of beauty. Her reply
to this is not given. The result. how
ever. was that the population of
Mooresville was almost Immediately
decreased by the disappearance of a
most interesting unit. When she shook
the dust of this place off her dainty
feet, though, she left several of the
inhabitants Gin the soup so to speak.
as a number of articles had been OBJ
tanned from these individuals for
which she had forgotten totender the
medium of exchange.
1t is stated now that the young
lady i'm her confession gave her real
name and that she is well known to
several people here and comes from a
good family.

SHE LEAVES FOR CHARLOTTE
An Element of Pathos Enters Into the
Odd Story.

Mooresville, April 12.-It develops
now that Miss Lillian Alma Ferguson,
of Evans, Chatham county-thats the
pretty name she wears when she moves
to the frou frota of skirts-has the
instincts of a masher. In conversation
with some curious individual just be-
fore taking the train here for Char
lotte, she said that she had discarded
feminine frills at Greensboro on the
Goth of last December. Then it trickled
out that she as he had made love to d
girl living at Hickory and to another
at Greensboro. She also-still as he
had made herself most agreeable TO
fair ones at Mooresville.
An odd story, is it not? yet it is not
without an element of pathos. When
this girl left MooresviIle she was still
in the dress of a boy? Why? Because
she had no money to buy herself more
suitable apparel. This she admitted to
those who conversed with her at che
last, and added that she had an hon
est father and a noble mother. Then
came the pietous plea not to expose
her to the world nor to her mother.
Yet why? If she has any true
friends is it not their duty to induce
this young girl to return to her home :?
1t appears that she has been guilty of
no moral wrong, but what of her flu
ture? She needs the protection and
influence of the sacred home circle.
