THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT

Valentine Cant, one or the most solid ranchers and stockmen on the south side, was born near Chester, H., in the year 1884. He spent his childhood days going to school, learn ing the science of forming and mould ing a character so broad and sound as to stand the storms and temptations of tho battle of life in after years. Reaching the age of majority in 1854, he left his native state and went west. For years he engaged in the mining, farming and stockraising business in the states of California, Oregon and Idaho, winning respect as a gen le- man, business man and citizen wher- ever he went. In the early '90s he came to Arizona, spent some time in- vestigating the territory, and finally in 1892, bought large ranch nine miles south of Tempe. He did not settle on this ransh until 1895, how ever, as the work of adjusting his in terests elsewhere required a great deal of time and travelling When he did settle, he pursued the course identical with himself-that of builder. The ranch had been cultivated, but had grown to weeds and brush, the land was as rough as nature left it and the ditches reminded MT. Cant of de- parted race. Under the builders di- rection the wrestle with nature be- gan in earnest. The land was clearsd, the old fences rebuilt and new o~es the whole place seeded to alfalfa. MT. Gant's time and money was not spent in vain, for this then seemingly God constructed, the desert leveled, the ditches repaired and heightened, and forsaken spot, now, with it's herds of fattening cattle, reminds one of na- lures sweetest smiles.
 During all the time thatthese inn provements were going on MT. Cant sorely felt the need of a good house. The shanty erected for temporary purposes afforded poor shelter for the help and for MT. Cant himself, who was advancing in years. Consequently a few weeks ago he decided to build a house.
 Hitching up his old gray horse early one morning he came to town to con- suit with contractor. AS he wished the house to be well built he decided to figure with J. s. Hendrix. Accord ingly he took that long whiskered gentleman into the front office of the Tempe house, the most convenient place in town, and laid before him his plans.

CHAPTER ".

When Warrenton left Whidby he went downstairs. He knew the room where Whidby had slept the previous night, but he found the door closed and locked.
 Hearing the voices of the undertaken md his men in Strong's room, he en- cred it. The men looked up from the eoffin at him, and Hodson, the under al<er, bowed and said good morning as Warrenton approached and looked at the dead mans face.
 i've never seen anything like that smile, colonel" said Hodson, "and I've been in this business over 20 years. It was all could do to get my men to go to work when they first saw him. We tried to close his eyes; but the lids are ais stiff as whalebone."
 The colonel shuddered at the coarse ness of the mans words.
 How do you explain the smile ?" he asked.
 ''I can't explain it at all," answered the undertaken. 'I don't think such thing ever happened before"
 Warrenton bent over the coffin for a moment. 'It seems to me to be a genuine smile, unmixed with any sen sation of pain, or even surprise"
 ''Ile was laughing, colonel, if ever man laughed in his life. 1 ain't par ticularly superstitious. I once un- screwed a box and let a man out that had passed for dead 36 hours. I was alone with it at midnight. You can Let that gave me a shock; but, frankly. I'd hate to spend night with this one.'
 ''Whidby slept in that room, didn't he?" asked the lawyer, glancing indif- ferently towards the portiere.
 "Yes, sir, but the indications are that the deed was done very quietly. Per haps MT. Whidby was drugged."

HE IS RICH.
Something About a White Man Who
 Lives With the Choctaws

J. J. McAllister, for whom the town of South McAllister, in the Choctaw Nation, was named, is about the richest white man in the Indian Ter ritory. He is worth at least $500,000, and his wealth is growing constantly. He owns coal mines, farms, cattle ranches, stores, and lots of other producing property. He is also a pioneer white in his community, having lived there continuously since 1866. MoAllister was a confederate soldier and MT. Cleveland appointed him United States marshal. He is big and florid faced, and has the easy unconventional style of the true west erner. In conversation with Wash ington Post reporter the other day he said:
 "There are 10000 whites in the In dian Nation and only 50, 900 Indians. The interests of the white people, it seems to me, are worthy of attention and I am here with others fo get con- gress to help us by passing a just and equitable town site law. 1t is all right for the government to allot the lands owned by the Five Tribes to the Indians in severalty, and we are not opposed to that. But we ask that the lands on which our 400 towns have sprung up to be segregated and that the whites who now have only a. pos sesory title be accorded the right of buying in at fair valuation those lots for which they have already pa and on which they have ma1e inn provements. Vacant lots in the towns should be sold to the highest bidder for the benefit of the Indians.
 "As the whites have to build reads and construct bridges and ether pub lie improvements, they ought to be treated with justice in a matter of such vital importance. There is need of action in the near future to prevent the upsetting of values by constant agitation. Under a wise law our towns can go forward and from municipal governments. At prese mt we have no mayors, no police, no fire department, no sanitary equipment, nor can we have as long as the pr6s ent status is maintained. Most inn portant of all, we have no public free schools, which is a great drawback to the development of the country, but which would be immed; ately set in operation all Over the territory on the passage of a bill giving whi g men property rights in the towns they created"

The boys appeared as acolytes in a scene of the play. In making se- lection of the most presentable among the lot MT. Lackaye's eyes lit upon a little tot who was besmea7ed with dirt, but there beamed from beneath this veneer of mother earth two soft blue eyes, and with a sweet and in nocent expression of countenance and curly but uncombed blonde hair and shaggy dress, he presented a picture of childish simplicity that would have been a work of art if put on canvas.
 MT. Lackaye drew the little fellow to one side and as he did so the tears began to trickle down the boys face. He was timid and abashed in the presence of the actor. Lackaye, with visions of a large family in a tenement house, living in one room, the father dead, the mother taking in washing and possibly this lad grub ping about for sustenance, did not interrogate him as to his position, but told him to follow the other boys he had engaged and follow the direc- tionS of the stage mar ager. 1nciden- tally MT. Lackaye placed a $5 bill in the boys hand and said: This is for your mother and the children at home"
 Tuesday night the boy did not turn up at the theater and another boy was put in his place. MT. Lackaye read in the Wednesday morning pa pers something about lone of Lack ayes young actors" This angelic youth had been arrested for playing craps in the street and enticing boys of his own age to gamble. The news paper account said he was incorri- gible, an associate of bad boys and a constant worry to his parents, re- spectable people in modest circum- stances. He was taken home by his father after the judge had discharged him with a reprimand
 Now MT. Lackaye is disposed to look with disfavor upon boys with en- gelic faces, and when he plays at the Grand opera house next week he in tends to rule out such infantile frauds. At the same time MT. Lack aye ought to remember that the per formance of the cherub, as desc ibed above, showed that he had the mak- ing at least of a mighty good actor,

On Friday one thousand OF the newly
initiated men will leave Atlanta for san

service in the Philippines.
The Department Of the Gulf has been
endeavoring to get these men started for
several days. but a lack of clothing has
delayed their departure. Their uniforms
are expected tomorrow, and the men will
start for the coast the day following.
The recruits are a fine looking body Of
men and set about their duties with r
cheerfulness which is surprising to Old

The departure OF these men will tend
IN a great measure to relieve the con-
gestion Of the past three or four days
