THE TRUTH ABOUT rANFILo

NOTHING more was said during the
~ luncheon. but when Alaire had finished
eating and her two employees had begun
their meal she climbed the banR Of the
arroyo ostensibly TO nnd a cool spot Hatl
ing succeeded. she called TO Dave;
There II n nice breeze up hore."
The Ranger's face set rising slowly, he
climbed tho bank after her. when they
stood face to face In the shade OF gnarly
oak tree. Alalre asked him pointbiank:
where Is Panfiio Sanchezg"
Dave met her eyes slunrely; his own
were cold and hard. Hes where he
dropped at my second shot" said he.
lie could hear his companions sharp In
halatlon. lie did not finch at the look she
turned upon him.
'Then---you killed himg"
"Yes'mr'
God He was virtually unarmed
What do you call---such an acte''
Dawes lips slowly whitened his face be-
came stony. lie closed his eyes. then
opened them upon hers. 'TIe had IL coming.
He stole my horse He took chance"
Mrs. Austin turned away. For time
they were silent and Dave felt himself
pitilessly condemned
why didn't YOU tell mo at the time 20
she asked. why didn't you report it2"
"l'll report It when you give me pormls-
sion"
~ WHAT" She wheeled to face
him.
Think n moment I can't tell half the
truth And II tell everything Il will lead
to-gossip."
"Ah! I think understand. Mr.. Law,
you can be insulting--"
For tho FIRST time the man lost muscular
control OF his features; they twitched. and
under their tan his cheeks became sicxly
yellow.
you've no right 20 say that" he told her,
harshly. you've plumb overstepped your
self, maam, and reckon you've formed
quite wrong opinion of me and OF the
facts. Let me tell you something about
that killing and about myself so you1l have
II all straight before you bring in your ver-
dict. You say Panhlo was unarmed. and
you call it--murder. He had his six-shoot-
er and he used IL; he had the darkness
and the swiftest horse. too. lie intended
To ambush me and release his companion
but forced his hand so Il amt what I'D
call murder. Now about myself: Pan
flo isn't the first man I've killed. and he
may not be the last. but haven't lost any
sleep over II. and Ia have killed him just
as quick II l hadn't been an officer. That
the kind of a man / am. and you may AZ
well know of II. l."
'You are utterly ruthless"
"Yes'ml"
"You loft him there without burial"

FALL AT SCHOOL
 FATAL TO CHILD

TUCSON, Nov. 9-Cruz Marpeleno. 10-year-old son of Lorenzo Marpeleno of Silverbell, died last night at the Red House on South Myer street from injuries received when he fell down a flight of stairs in the school house at Silverbell Tuesday.
 No one knows certainly how the accident occurred, and the boy was unconscious almost all of the time until his death. He whispered to his father once that another boy had pushed him from the top step. but could tell no names or anything that would enable the facts to be verified He was brought into Tucson and taken to the Red House at o'clock yesterday afternoon. He died at 5 o'clock. Dr. Servin, who attended the toy. gave concussion of the L.ai,l as the cause.

ARIZONA GUAROSmEN
 ARE GOOD SOLDIERS

PHOENIX, Nov. 1O-Capt. Holz- warth. of the Arizona National guard, returned to Phoenix last night on ten days furlough.
 He reports that the entire guard of he state is now concentrated at Naco and that both officers and men are in the pink Of condition and in the best of spirits.
 The Arizona guardsmen, according to Capt. Holzwarth, have covered themselves with glory during the time they have been on the border. The official returns show that there has been less sickness among the Arizona troops than among any of the regi- ments, guard or regular, on the bor- der.
 Arizona soldiers have also made the best hiking" record, having cov- cred 146 miles in six ard one-half days, in heavy marching order. Of the $50 men in the brigade, not mora than ten were riding at the end of the hike" while many other guard and regular regiments had from ten to fifteen per cents of their strength unable to continue the march.
 The boys are in the best of spirits" said the captain, but many of them are anxious to return home to their families and to their busi- ness. We have hopes that we may be sent home by Dec. 20, but of course, it is impossible to set any definite date.

DISCOVERY OF
 GRAND CANYON

The first white men to see the Grand Canyon of the Colorado were Cardenas and his twelve companions, who were guided there by Hopi h. dians from Tusayan. Cardenas was sent by Coronado to find the wonder ful river of which De Toyar had heard from the Indians. He remain ed four days on the rim at some point now unknown, looking in vain for a way to descend. It is always interesting to recall the heroic trip made by major J. w. Powell down the Grand Canyon in small boats when practically nothing was known of its course or character. His journey began at Green River, wyo.. May 24, 1869. and was notably successful U. s. Geological Survey.
