FAITH lRVLN'S LEGiCY,
MONROE H. RosENFELD.

sFaith,' exclaimed Maud, her
sister, L always thought Aunt
Hester was rich T.! Here are moth

excepting perhaps this casket and
brooch and the old family dia-
aaonds. The two former belong
80 you. my. dear, and the latter
have been kindly bestowed upon
your humble servant, or, IN the
words of our dear and lameuted
kindred, ETC., TO Maud, elder of
my two worthy nieces.' She
approached her sister with the
brooch in hand and proceeded to
fasten 1t on her.
VI Nay, nay, could rot wear it.
But / shall ever treasure it as a
dear gift and keepsake said Faith,
layiug it away tenderly.
Then the two girls proceeded to
read the further disposition Of the
will. There were shawis, Indian
and Persian, antique books, water
color paintings Of rare art and
beauty, silks, linens, laces, etc.,
and-a Bible !! And, strange
enough, there WAS an emphasized
clause relating to this book. At
ter detailing various other articles
to the two heiresses, the will con-
csuded with these words
The old family Bible, legacy
and sacred relic of generations, l
bequeath to the one of my De-
loved nieces who shall read it the
most indnstriously, and love it
the most fervently; hoping thai, ,
therefore, it vii! have no individ-

what a great, darling old
tome,' cried Faith, as Harry Rose,
her afianced husband, placed the
important volume in her hands.
Perhaps it's very dimensions &C
, scounts for our aunt's Infinite area

Judging from her earthly residue
her benefcence must have been
astoundiugly great, especially to
aer own kith and kim she added,
sarcastically.
sFie, sc, sister, how can you
speak so ungratefully?'
These baubles, continued Maud,
apparently unbeeding the re-
proach and pointing TO the dia-
monds, constitute, then, the nu'
cleus of our worthy kindred's
specific wealth lngratItude's not

of dollars and cents ? Pausing, she
went on:
AS for the much -eEvied Bible.

likewise, fast to its sides, was a
document, a deed of valuable es-
tate-the large domain Of her
deceased aunt-the bulk Of Aunt
Hester's mysteriously- for
tune!
How the girls heart throbbed
with joy and gratitude! A thou
sand visions sprang up before her,
framing themselves into air cas-
ties, faltering, then vanishing and
drifting silently afar, as they
came.
What boundless wealth = she
whispered to herself, hardly dar-

reality would vanish into dream.

Out, out into the street FASTENED
the happy. girl, into the din and
hustle, past the great warehouses
that loomed up giant:like in the
distance, picking her way through
the traffic about her, down one
avenue, then another, until foot
sore and weary she reached the
outskirts of the city. At the ter
minus of road, before poor
looking cottage that bespoke the
poverty of its inbabitant, Faith
paused. Here dwelt her sister
tho once beautiful and proud
Maud-friendless, and forsaken by
every one except the trusty little
sister. Fate had strewn her path
with the thorns Of misfortune.
Faith entered and found her list.

beyond. 'Maud-Maud ! You shall
be happy again-yoa ere rich

in another moment Faith had
thrown herself and her precious
burden about her sisters neck,
and was weeping tears Of JOY.
Tbeu she told her how the dear
old Bible had proven faithful, how
its pages had brought her heaven
ly riches and worldly wealth.
And Maud listened, in silence, of
the wondrous book that had hid

and Aunt Hester's hidden treas.

In the beautiful home of ad-
vanced thought lives Faith
and her husband. With them,
contented and happy, dwells
Maud, their sister, for she never
could be brought to accept augbt
of that harvest which her sister
alone had reaped and won.
Their home is one Of splendor
and elegance; yet, conspicuous
above all it's luxury, upon sim

Some Snakes.

Mir. John Dorsn in a conversation with seS eral gentleman from Tucson, stated that shortly before the rainy sea- son, a year ago, he was riding from Pinal to the Gila when his horse stop ped and refused to go further because of a moving mass of rattle snakes, which apparently covered the ground for an area of half mile square. They were of the small sidewinding species and were emigrating bodily from the dry mesas to the damp bottom lands of the Gila. This story which was related as an actual occurrence, called forth another to the effect that once while hOeing corn in field he was attacked by s hoop snake, but by deItrous movement on his part, the hoe handle was made to receive the blow. which WAS severe enough to kill the snake iuhecting it. The hoe handle when struck, immediately swelled to such an extent that because of its sig 1t could not be used for two weeks afterwards.

 His Royal Nibbs, J. A. Reavis, who lays claim to nine-tenths of Arizona under a fraudulent grant, arrived in Tucson Sunday morning. On Monday, as early as business hours would war rant, he was plac d under arrest for having, while en route to this city, at tempted to occupy the sleeping car berth of a domestic in the family of a prominent citizen of this city who was returning home by the same tr8in. He avoided incarceration by paying 8 fine and apologlzing to the young lady, and 1t is truly to be hoped that he is as penitent as his apology would indicate nm to be.
 On the trip down Mr Reavis took oc- caslOn to pour into the ears of the passengers who preferred to kill time listening to him rather than in viewing the dreary desert landscape, the story of his acquisition Cf the Spanish grant and his future course when 1t IS fully confirmed by Congress. Among other Imaginary things he stated that he has Tn his possession iIldisputable evidence of the famous Silver King mine having been worked over hundred years ago, a statement which several persons who Lave been repeatedly over the ground before the mine was opened declare is absolutely false.
 Mir. Reavis is m no hurry to effect a settlement with those who occupy his broad acres Tn this Territory Not, he says, because they have any rights he IS bound to respect, but that when hIs claims are acknowledged and allowed. he will show them not only his authori- ty and power, but his great magnanimi- ". His elastic heart will swell in the ratio that his penurious purse becomes plethorlc. He proposes to treat the press in the most exact measure of re- ciprocity according to thelr criticism of him, upon broad basIs of generosity The CITIZEN, therefore, expects to be- come the chief object of his lberality. and to receive a million or so of his blackmail upon the people Of central Ariznun

Two soldiers representing themselves as being discharged from the service, presented forged certificates tn Pay master W. E. Crary for S6944S The men were from WhIpple Barracks near Prescott, and 1t aroused suspicion of those here upon whom the orders were drawn. Mir. Sonday being especially doubtful about the geuuineuess of the papers, the men were told to call agaln m the course of an hour. In the meantime the military at Prescott were communicated with. They pronounced the certificates forgeries and the men deserters. A warrant for their arrest was sworn out, and was served by Marshal Buttner. The men were turned over to the military authorities for punishment. They gave their names as James Gibson and John Read, but the right narue of the former is Leach and that of the lsttsr Brown.

Indian Rnmnrs.

CAMP NEAR CRITTESDRS, September "A man from Crittenden station yes- terday afternoon told me that the h. dlans had crossed into the southern spur of the Santa Rlta mountains, after killing fourteen men, women and children on the east slope of the Pata- gOnls mountains and the foothills. They number about two hundred war rIors and are said to he taking things clean as they go. At the little town of Santa Cruz fourteen miles southeast of our camp (babOcumarI Mining Com pany'sl they marched boldly into the town and opened mp a scene of butchery and destruction that Is said to have been fearful. The mission of this band, It SC, ms, Is more for blood than booty. and theIr outrageE are more horrible than usual.
 On Tuesday a troop of ftty-two sol dIers left nuachuca to pursue them, but no one has as yet learned of any engagements between the soldiers and the Indians, and It is doubtful if the two forces have ever met. Tho settlers expect but little from the soldiern.
 A scarcity of arms and ammunition IS causing great deal of anxiety. We re- ceIved yesterday ID our camp a short supply of cartridges, but we have only two guns and are lilly prepared for rald. Guns have been sent for, how ever, and we hope by to- morrow to be able tO stand off at least score of h. dians provided they do not get the drop on us.
 We have our guards out every night and keep a sharp lookout during the day and do not intend to be surprised If vigilance will prevent 1t.
 Will keep you posted as I get Infor- nation from recOnnOiterers. JIH.

 September 2, $ o'clock D. m.- Since writing you this morning 1 have learn ed from a Mexican who has been out, that large party of Indians are today tepredsting and fighting about ten nliles southeast of this place (Simpson's 1 camp.) The party seems to be coming | north and sweeping things clean as they come. The people ib this vicinity are greatly alarmed, and many are seeking safety Tn flight, in fact, most all | who can conveniently leave are getting l out.
 John Thompson, a member of our camp aud formerly scOIt under Hatch, | left Tor Contention to-day for arms, and | -Ipects to return by tomorrow. Un- | for us, those who are leav- l ing this section are in most instances | those who are best armed and equipped. | Most of those in the vicinity of our | amp who cannot leave are moving to l he railroad station SOnoits, which they safer place.
