CHAPTER VIII.

4 week went by, and by that time, as a member of the Grafton household and a social success at Sedgwick, the lovely widow was an established fact. Everybody, as in duty bound, had called within the seven days, Mir. and Mrs. Merriam with the others and not among the last; but they chose Tuesday evening, which was not hop night, but the very evening on which dozens of others would be calling, and even then they went in company with the Haynes, and found, as they expected indeed as they knew-the little army parIor full of people.
 Mrs McLane's welcome was charm ing Already the soft air and sunshine as she was saying, had been of infinite benefit, and her physician must have known exactly what to prescribe fo; her, for she felt ever so much better

comments and favorable expressions grew in number. It was no wonder, however, for rising to the height or two stories and extending on the ground for a distance of thirty-two feet it gave promise of magnlncent structure way out on the border or civilization and untamed nature
 The ladies of the community got up a big Christmas tree at the Redd1n school house. It was no small aHa1r, as the presents repr esented great deal of money and bore the names of a great many people. The next day as the carpenters and ranchmen were about to start tc work they were sur prised by the abrupt appearance of Mr. Cant joyfully 1ourishing red bandana handkerchief, and gleefully exclaiming, "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 luClu0uIdIS IIOm w. ny utI 5 s establishment were put ir the house as they should be. The provisions hay ing run low again wagon load of groceries and dry goods was hauled out to the ranch from J. Jungermanns S bargain store." MT. Meyers having induced MT. Cant to build the house two stories instead of one. and Mr. 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 a bedroom.
 John Mclean, the tinsmith, fur nished the house with chimney thim- bles and wall protectors around the stovepipe holes. There was butter, cheese. potatoes and other produce from the Tempe-Mesa Produce com pany to replenish the good nature of the workmen and to keep everything moving smoothly.
 The house was finally ready for it's clothes. MT. Cant looked all over the country and found W. H. Staton, paint CT and grainer and decorator of the in terior, MT. Staton furnished him with figures for the amount of paint re- quired and the order was filled at H. w. Ryder's. Captain w. H. Staton of Mosby's command" went to work dressing the house without any delay

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.


 "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 two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build one-story house, leaving the gables open for a 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 off 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 uI and the roof and siding all on, and the building began to indicate what ii would look like when finished. And as it assumed it's shape and size the
