 Then came warnings to leave the train. The conductor was shouting "All aboard!" and, bearing her with them, they rushed unanimously to the

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Chanter IL


 "A thing begun is half done." The house was now to rise as a monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not his intention to build a two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build a one-story house, leaving the gables open for thorough circula- tiOn of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and leave the second story to be finished on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went of smoothly, the house rapidly assumed shape, the people of the neighborhood watching it closely and making it the subject of conversation at the fireside during the long winter evenings, and the people on the ranch enjoying a continuous social during the house raising.
 On the 18th of December the house was half done. The frame was all up and the roof and siding all on, and the building began to indicate what it would look like when finished. And as it assumed it's shape and size the comments and favorable expressions grew in number. It was no wonder, however, for rising to the height of two stories and extending on the ground for a distance of thirty-two feet it gave promise of a magnificent structure way out on the border of civilization and untamed nature
 The ladies of the community got up big Christmas tree at the Reddin school house. It was no small affair. as the presents represented a great deal of money and bore the names of great many people. The next day as the carpenters and ranchmen were about to start to work they were sur prised by the abrupt appearance of Mr. Cant joyfully flourishing a red bandana handkerchief, and gleefully exclaiming, s@Who says that somebody hasn't got an eye on this house?" But the events in this story must not be anticipated too much, so this will not be dwelt upon for the present.
 The building of the house continued without any delay being caused by the holidays more than for Christ mas and New Years. When the proper time came door knobs, locks, catches and hinges, window pulleys and other incidentals were put in the house as they should be. The provisions hay ing run low again a wagon load of groceries and dry goods was hauled out to the ranch from J. Jungermann' s bargain store." MT. Meyers having induced Mr. Cant to build the house two stories instead of one, and MT. Cant having decided to build another room on the porch, there were sev- eral more loads of lumber taken out from the Blinn Lumber company. The room will be used for bedroom.

Things brought an exceptionally high price some bringing more than they were worth. An old COW which, however was a good "milker,' brought $52 A young COW, and better than the old one, brought $42. A shovel which had been used three months and which could be bought at the store for $1 sold for SIPS. A dog was put up for sale and Fisher Bailey bought it for "six bits" Later in the day he put the dog on sale again and got $3 for it. Humanity is a study.

Then merry voices and laughter, and light, bounding foot steps were heard at the head of the car, and in came joyous party, officers and ladies. A tall, slender girl seemed the object of general interest, and her bundles and wraps were deposited in the opposite section by one officer; an other bore a brand-new bag, another ( bunch of beautiful roses, and ten wom- en hung about the girl and kissed her and cooed over her; and, with the eX- perienced eye of her sex, Mrs. McLane needed only one glance at the pretty. stylish trave,ing suit, at the jaunty little hat, at the slender, tapering. boot. all so new and glossy, to realize at once that here was bride-an army bride and one beloved of her kind, for one woman after another chung to her as they kissed, and many eyes were wet, and all were filled with love and trust and tenderness.

 The bride was vision of girlish beau ty, that bright June wedding day, and MeLane was as handsome and we'll preserved a fellow of 55 as even New York could show. .He was evidently deeply in love and immeasurably proud and happy. As for the lady, she looked to the full as joyous and radiant as any lover lord could ask, and her manner toward McLane, much "more than twice her years"-nearly three times, in fact was sweet, shy, appealing, and trust lag, all in one.
