 Prove what?" Nat insisted Get down to facts. can't you|
 That you're thief, with a reward out for you" said Roland You're that Mortimer Henry what absconded from the Longacre National bank in Noo York"
 There fell a brief pause. Nat bowed his head and tugged at his mustache, his shoulders shaking with emotion va riously construed by those who watch ed him Presently he looked up again his features gravely composed
 "Roly." said he. "Balaam must miss you terribly
 "That ain't no answer" Lockwood put himself solidly between Nat and the object of his obscure remark. who was painfully digesting it. "l want to know about this. You got my daugh ter to say she'd marry you this even in. and you've got to explain to me about this bank business before 1t goes any further"
 "YesY commented Nat civilly.

An Irish Duel.

An Irish Duel.
 The annals of the Emerald Isle bris- tie with incidents of dueling in which Irish humor. if not at all times Irish bravery, is conspicuous. On one oc. casion Sir Jonah Harrington fought a duel with a barrister named McNally. The latter had one leg shorter than the other and because it was his habit when in hurry to take two humping steps with the short leg to bring up the space made by the long one he was nicknamed "One Pound Two" MeNally could get no one of his bar to fight him, so he challenged Bar rington. who good naturedly exehang- cd shots in Phoenix park.
 The baronet hit his opponent in the braces, then called the "gallows." and feared he had killed him. When the result was made known one of the seconds shouted Mac. you are the only rogue I ever knew who was saved by the gallows."

A NEW RAILWAY
Navajo Southern Will Build
South From Holbrook

"A new railroad to open up the
natural resources of Navajo county,
will be the probable result Of favor
able action by the land Office on maps
for a right of way across public
land, filed with the Arizona Land
Office, Phoenix, July 18th. by the
Navajo Development Company, in
the interest of the Navajo Southern
Railroad Company, of which F. H.
Bowen and Will H. Clark, respec
lively, are president and secretary.
1t is understood that the project is
backed by capitalists of Elyria, Ohio.
The proposed railroad is to be ap-
proximately seventy miles long and
will run from Holbrook in south
erly direction to a point in township
s north and % east, near the town
of Pine, to and not far from The
north line of ella county and close
to the boundary between Apache
and Navajo counties. 1t will pass
near the towns of Snowflake. Tay-
lor, Showlow and others in that Sec
ton. The maps call for a standard
guage, regularly equipped CONNER
cial railroad, though it is under
stood that the chief incentive for
building is to make available the
pine timber in southern Navajo
county. where it is said there is one
of the largest virgin forests in the
