The truth about Nicolai De Ray
lan Is stranger than any fiction that
has been told about that mystify
ing person. The. question that en
ters the mind of every well ordered
being is ‘‘how did she do It." Some
believe that she didn’t do It—didn’t
make her ‘’wife’’ think she was a
man. •
I was talking tciday 1 with Dr.
Rowe, who was "her" private phy
sician. The doctor pledged his word
and honor that he had never sus-
pected the truth until It was told him
by the undertaker, and the Doctor
Is a man whose word - can not be
doubted. He Is an old gentieman
with a kindly' eye and a wealth of
white beard. His big framegtuid
honest countenance spell troth from
the crown of .his head to the sole

When |een by a Times-Enterprise
reporter In the afternoon^kr. Stev
ens talked Intereetlngly of the work
that he Is now dolng.-^ftf. Stevens
Is at present engaged Bribe arduous,
task of making a personal Inspect
lion of the various railroad lines in
Georgia, and says that before he gets
through he Intends to know exactly
the condition of the road beds, the
depots and the rolling stock of every
road In the state. 1 He says it Is an
expensive task that he has under
taken, but that he Intends to be In po
sition to know whether the lives of
tho people are belttg endangered by
the condition of the road beds, and
as to whether or npt their comfort

had 'spent muck time
lived for several years at Pensacola
Fla., and-bad a daughter who mar
ried Harry Rast, formerly of Atlan
ta, my lost doubt disappeared. And
the doubts were not renewed when
the Doctor explained that he room
ed with De Raylan, his patient.
Nicolai De Raylan came to Phoenix
with' Dr. Rowe as ’’her” private
phiatriffc. on th| 4th of November.
They" engaged apartmonts at a re
spectable rooming house and De Ray-
lsn asked for a private bath to be In
stalled. The proprietor could not
afford* it. and De Raylan paid tho
.hundred and fifty dollars himself.
"Hor”.caso of consumption did not
seem to be dangerously developed
and "she” was frequently seen In
male attire about the streeta^and In
tho stpres of Phoenix. , "She” even
.came Into the. newspaper office on
one occasion. Dr. Rowe was gon-
the .stations
where they have to wait, and In the
1 cars where they have to ride.
1 Mr. Steveos says he wants to be
1 in a position to decide the needs of
1 the people and to save Mem the un-
1 necessary expinse of bringing dele-
1 nations and petitions to Atlanta for
I some needed improvement.
'• “J have been oh tilt railroad com-
r mission long enough to know that I
! don’t know anything about the rall-
1 road business,” so|d Mr. Stevens.
* ‘‘but I am gol^s out to learn some
thing, and I Intend to know somo-
’ thing about that particular depsrt-
’ cent to which I am now giving my
1 j ntyntlsn.” ,
Speaking of Colonel McLenddn,
' Mr. Stevens said that he was going
1 to.* make one of tbs most, If not the
1 molt valuable pi*P- that has ever
been a member of the conimsslon.
