WILLIAM R. A. WILSON

Perhaps he has finished" was the re- ply: and leaning over the rail, Pompon gave a low whistle. In a moment Tonti had clambered up. and soon all three were engaged in an eager con- versation.
 "I had given you up for lost" said La Salle. .All Paris was whispering of your duel with the Comte de Miron and his death. But all was mystery. He had disappeared, his body no doubt secreted by his coachman; you, too, had disappeared, having fled to En- gland. it was said; while Pompon, whom I searched for diligently, was nowhere to he found The king was inclined to be veXed over your dis obeying his order concerning duelling, but think he was secretly pleased at getting rid of the Comte de Mron, whom he disliked Only the infiu- ence of Colbert kept him about the court"
 Thus did the partners in the firm of M. Tonti and Company hold their first meeting outside France. and the night was far spent before they fin- ished recOuniing their adventures and laying plans for the future No light was thrown upon the identity of their mysterious protector. and the matter was finally dismissed as a riddle to be solved at some later day

For this purpose
 d store of iron, cordage, and anchors | was carefully packed away in the hold. Ia Salle and Tonti kept to them- l sciv.s, but POmpon went about tka | ship making friends with every one in spite of his ugly face. busying himself in finding out everything he could | from each persol, amusing them. but

 l The three spent many evenings in La Salle's quarters because they were 1 much. roomier than the rest, and over their wine they gradually revealed 1 much of their past lives to each other, and grew in camaraderie, and the
 bonds of good fellowship were knit : more tightly.
 A mass of rolling water encompassed them about. Each little wave laughed and sparkled beneath the sun s first kiss in the early morning; each little wave donned Xs white nightcap as the wind freshened after the sun went down:
 each little wave with it's tiny strength urged on the ship. And so the sum- mer days were filed with light and ! the nights with the moons sheen upon the surface of the water or the myriad reflection of the stars that guided the ships course through the long lone ! watches
 The gray twilight and the first half , of the night were often spent in con- versation by the three explorers on the FoOp just outside of hearing of , the helmsman Then it was that La [ Salle told of his early life: of the days . spent among his Jesuit teachers; of the first voyage to the new land: of , his early efforts to penetrate the
 wilderness: of the life and history of ! the colony: of the rivalry between himself and the Jesuit missionaries
 and their followers for she fur-trade
 with the Indians and the efforts they
 made use of to thwart his plans At
 times the genial side of his nature
 showed itself in the recital of anus

S1OnaI0 nature ne 0aLeQ nm, anu cursed the day they first met Were not the glory and honor and riches that were just ahead on the explorers path sufficient but that he must take his love, she whom he realized was all 1 in all to him, too? And the melody Of the song he had sung with it's closing words, words written in a moment of joy and hope, that were in reality full of pathetic foreboding, passed through his mind again:
 | But other hands fear will pluck | This Rose, my Rose, of Normandy.
 But when the tide of feeling had reached its full, then came the calm before the ebb. The soldiers sense of justice showed him clearly .that his friend was innocent of any desire to work him harm. That he really was the interloper. for La Salle had known her for weeks and months, while his acquaintance was but that of day. | And the strong feeling of remaining stanchly loyal to his commander, even though it meant to take sides against himself, came to his rescue. Then, too, the careful recollection of the two short glimpses he had of the fair lady showed him but too plainly that he had small grounds of hope on which to build. On into the early morning watches he struggled with himself. The love of a man for woman battled strong with a mans love for honor and that which he deemed the right. And lO! a paradox appeared, for in the strife al- though honor won, yet in no wise was his love for the woman conquered or belittled by the strife, but rather was it enlarged, illumined, and made stronger still, for he could at once give full allegiance to his love and yet re- solve that come what might he would in no wise be false to his friend; that he could glorify and worship the one and keep this secret hid from the other; could aid his companion with all his strength and leave the future to le bon Dieu. who controls every mans destiny. The battle once won, he could look forward with the hope that by being true to both now, his re- ward would somehow be forthcoming when the work was done. And as ths first morning rays touched the ships deck they fell upon the figure of a man, not worn out and fatigued by a nights struggle and exposure, but firm, and erect, gazing toward the new land but one days journey distant, with the light of faith and hope and love in his countenance; and the greatest of these was love.
 That night three goblets were filled to the brim and emptied and filled again. Three manly breasts responded to the thrill of common lot, com- mon joy, common purpose. Three hands clasped fealty with hands that gripped them fast. They pledged the king, the ship, New France, the ex- petition, and last of all. themselves.
 "To three gallant comrades" cried La Salle when the last bumper was raised. "who will to each other be true"
 And faithful" added Tonti, in 8 voice vibrating with deep feeling.
 Even unto death," said Pompon gravely.

ise of several contributions. Lists were yesterday taken to Mesa by i. c. Spangler and W. H. Wallace, who felt confident that their efforts would show good results from that section. When it is considered that uniform price will be paid by the sugar company for beets in all parts of the valley the interest in having the factory built will undoubtedly be as great on the south side of the river as at an other point.
 At Glendale a meeting was held yes- terday by the ranchers of that section and in a short time over ST.500 worth of land was subscribed towards the bonus. Tn addition to this amount committees were appointed to raise an additional S7.50O. In the subscription taken a year ago the ranchers in that vicinity raised some $l5.000 of the to- tai amount subscribed.

SUGAR FACTORY BONUS
Soliciting Committee Has Good Suc-
 Cess-The Glendale Meeting.

The second days work Of the com mitJ5e of the board of trade raising the bonus for the beet sugar factory was rewarded with very gratifying results to those having the work iu charge. In all about S3,500 was sub scribed. making the total amount so far little over $S,G00. Many oE the gentlemen who were on the list to be seen yesterday. are yet out of the city and one or two of the larger subscribers were absent from their places of business when the commit t-e called.
 Those seen. however. nearly to a man. resubscribed the amounts for merly pledged. and in many instances tHe former subscriptions were doubled ur added to about fifty Der cent w D. Fulwiler of the board of trade said yesterday afternoon that to all ap- Isaronces the total bonus required would be raised. but that it would take a great deal of work on the part of the committee. He desired especially t0 have it thoroughly understood that any sIm subscribed would not have to be paid until the factory was com pletsd and baets run through it. He also said that he hoped any citizen interested who had not been seen by the committee but who desired to sub scribe would call on Secretary of the Board Of Trade Van der Eeer. who had a list and who could take subscrip- tions.

KEPT HER APPOINTMENT
School Teacher Demonstrates What
 il Means to be Prompt.

4 splendid example for rLe person who is always late in keeping his ap- pointmcnts is the s.ory Of the trip from her home in the e2=- to this c.tg. of Miss Blanch N. Warner, Q teacher ir the Central school building. Miss Warner had written the Schoo, board of tfis city tEa- sine woIld b. here when school opened. To do this and complete her work in her former fled would not allow her one moment to spare. II was Friday afternoon of last week at four o'clock when she closed her school in the city Of Mil Waukee, her home. Monday morning of +his week at nine o'clock she be- gan her educational work in this city. And in addition to making such spien- did and unusual time she was delayed en route about twelve hours ol cc- count of a wreck. She kept her ap- pointment.
 To do this she stepped from tpe train that had brought her from Mil waukee to Chicago to the train that would take her to Kansas City. At Kansas City she had 9 wait of but twenty minutes and al Maricopa she had the third wait of her journey. After her school closed in Milwaukee she had les than two hours in which to go from her school to her horne and prepare for her journey and af- ter her arrival in Phoenix she had but four hours to prepare for the be- ginning of her work here.
 This Is Miss Warmers first vi=it to the west. but she says she likes the city and the people and does no- in any way regret the rushing trip sAr made to reach here.
