PIONEERS HOME IS
 ALMOST COMPLETED
Will Be Ready for Occupancy BS December 15-Room for
 Forty Inmates.

All indications are that Henry ROckmark. the contractor who is building the Arizona Pioneers home at Prescott, will complete his con tract on schedule time He undertook to finish the building by December 10 of this year, and the work is prac- tically done, with the exception of the installation of a few pillars. The home will be open for occupacy De- cember Is.
 Robert A. Craig, citizen member of the board of control. will leave for Prescott in two or three days to ac- cept the home and also to accept the work done on the territorial road for distance nine miles south of Pres colt. As soon as he has accepted the road, work thereon will be dropped for the winter
 The legislature appropriated S25.OOO to build the home. and naturally a small building had to be erected. It was put up in such a way. however, that it can be doubled in capacity without destroying it's architectural beauty. When complete the present building will accommodate forty in mates.
 Mir. Craig stated yesterday that the building will be completed with an expenditure of not more than two or three hundred dollars over the con tract price. This is most unusual Ordinarily the cost of building runs % or 30 per cent over the contract price. But in the construction of the Pioneers home the original figures have been rigidly adhered to. The two or three hiindred dollars extra went for little additions, which were added after the plans were drawn and the contract let.
 The board of control is now pre- pairing an application blank to be printed and forwarded to the boards of supervisors for the use of pioneers this time only one application has been received.
 In the act appropriating money for the building of the Pioneers home tho qualifications of those eligible to live in it were laid down. These qualifi- cations are that an applicant must be at east 65 years old. have lived m the territory twenty five years and be unable to support himself or herself. Each applicant must obtain the in- dorsement of the supervisors of his county.
 It is not believed that at first there will be many more than forty appli- cants for admittance to the home. The first forty eligibles to make ap- plication will be admitted.

due regard should be taken
to lay the line in such a manner
that al settlers in the range would
have a down hill haul to their re-
spective centers of population in
their respective counties. Yet I
would respectfully suggest that the

instances it should follow section

Stevens county has merely entered

While | believe that the Pend

there can be no doubt that land
lying near the river and railroad
will be cleared at faster rate in
The future than in the past, and the
lands that have at the present time
no settlers upon them, because
they are held by timber companies,
must of necessity come into the
market In the near future. These
lands, having been settled at the

Sophie looked up at him with wide eyes;
certain sense of fear came to her. Finally,
she smiled in answer to his inqliring look,
but she thought there was something in what
he said that she would rather he had not said.
Just what it was she did not know
The restof that nightwas strange to Sophie.
1t made the day stand out from the rest Of her
pale, commonplace days as one marked with
gold and crossed with scarlet. She was des.
perately afraid Of the consequences Of her
step-and yet she was glad she had taken it.
Sophie had boarded in the same place ever
since her mother died, leaving to her care the
new baby That was not long after her
fathers death, and his wife was not strong
enough to live through the second suffering.
She wondered that night if Mrs. Sellers
and her boarders, even if little Bobby saw
anything unusual in. her expression. The
same thoughts were so continually in her
mind it almost seemed strange people could
not read them. After arising from the supper
table she stopped to speak TO Mrs Sellers.
She had waited purposely until the four other
boarders had gone upstairs.
"Oh, expect company tonight, Mrs.
Sellers, she said, trying with poor success to
look Indifferent.

the boy.

Where's the man \" Bobby asked.
Hes gone, she answered, with tight lips.
"Ain't he never coming back2" said
Bobby. Conors had beenvery kind to the child.
"No, never" his sister answered,
Mrs. Sellers was not so easily satisfied.

she nodded sagaciously. He was free
spendcr and had lots Of money ! wouldn't
have let him go SO easy"
"Please don't Mrs. Sellers" Sophie en-
treated Please don't ever talk to me about
him"
Mrs. Sellers persisted, however, in reyiy-
ing the subject, with similar adjurations
and advice She spent much time devising
schemes which wonid bring him back, and
was amazed Sophie would consider none Of
them
But j, was with herself that Sophie strug-
gled hardest. She had told him she could not
be mad at him, and twas true She loved
him still That was her tragedy There were
times when if he had come for her, she knew
she would have followed him, 10 DO as he bid,
to work for him, slave for him without condi-
ton or restriction, merely to be near him, to
be able to touch his hand, feel his eyes upon
her. There we're even times when she
prayed he would come. But afterwards,
when these intervals had passed, she would
be thankful and grateful to him for not
coming And SO, she lived through the
passing days. ...
One Sunday morning she sat at her win
dow sewing on some old garments. She
had put all the things he had given her away
from herwhere she could dnot see touch them.
She looked down into the street and saw

But to that came the doubt: "He lied to mel"
That night when he came, Conors imme-
diately felt that something was wrong. They
stayed home that evening in Mrs. Sellers's
dull little front parlor 1t was not until about
ten o'clock, however, that the climax, which
both felt impending came.
Then Sophie plucked at the skirt Of her
dress, and not looking at Conors said, Jim,
you didn't go out Of town"
His glance searched her face She had
turned 10 -Aeet his gaze. "What do you mean,
Sophie2" he asked.
II saw you come out of that restaurant on
Fulton Street with woman"
"Well, what if you did?"
"Who is she2"
"That's none Of your business" His tone
showed that he did not care to be questioned
You've got to tell me who she is, jim"
"You got no claim on me, Sophie. Don't
act this way"
"Why did you lie to me2"
He arose and went over to the mantel
"Ill be damned if you can talk to me this
way" he exclaimed. You amt got no right
to, you know"
"Who is she?"
He waited moment, and then he swung
around, his shoulders flung back with his
elbows on the mantel "Well, if you must
know, he said, "it's the woman Pm going
to marry"
Sophie's hand flew to shield her eyes; she
breathed deeply once or twice. "Then, it's
all over between us, Jin," she said, after a
little while
No, this needn't make no difference be-.
tween us, Sophie. Ihaye to marry this lady.
II means lot to me in some ways. But we
two can go on just the same"
"Why what can you want of me

came to her. :. After some time she said,

She stumbled up the stairs to her room and
flung herself on the bed with Bobby. Hold
my hand, Bobby, dear, she said, waking him.
"Hold it tight, dear. Sophie's afraid" The
child clutched it earnestly, until very shortly
he was back in the land from which he had
been SO rudely summoned.
The days that followed were days Of torture
to Sophie. She plunged into her work at the
Office, finishing it up with unaccustomed
rapidity and demanding more. much to the
astonishment Of the old bookkeeper. For the
first time since she had been there she called

She was descending the last few steps now.
AT their foot she was conscious OF him waiting,
but as yet she had not looked at him. Then
she saw his face, clear, looking up al her, and
it stopped her abruptly, there on the Stairs
