come to think about il" he added reflect
lively. "those old fellows ground their own
paint and understood their chemical p:op-
critics, So who knows whether they were
not careful to use those pigments that
would look better as time went on? i re-
ally believe that Vandyke and VeiasQuez
had an eye 10 the future.
"MellowiDg often comes about by acci-
dent, though. | remember, in Boston
gallery, running across picture l had
painted years before. so long ago that |
had forgotten it. Hello! That's some
thing i'll my STYLE l thought, and sure
enough 1t was my own work, but 1t had
taken on a beautiful gold tone that was
certainly not to its disadvantage. Nearly
all pictures change a little with time; most
of them get darker. Asphaltum is a color
that ought TO be used very sparingly. for 1t
is apt to get black.
Il makes no difference what you paint
wi'h-dirt, II it only looks we'll Any
way, that is my theory. | am trying new
experiments and comliEations all the
time. In fact might say am utterly un-
principied in the use of colors, for don't
believe in following any traditions"
But do you think hat modern pictures
show tendency to fade?" was asked.
well, man has got 10 live few
centuries to answer that question
thoroughly replied Neale. Judging
from the works of semi-modern painters.
l should say they don't. Look at De-
lacroix, they have not got a painter like
him in Paris to-day, and his pictures must
be forty years old. In the time of De-
lacroiX. tubes were not in use, but the
pigments were the same. / cannot recall
any instance of modern painter fading
strongly.
There was a DR.. Mase Pettenkofer who
lectured to the artists in Munich on the
same question. He had made many ex-
periments. and warned them against GER
tain colors and mediums. l remember
too. he advocated vanishing the back oi
the canvas with balsam of copaiba to
prevent cracking, for artists are more
afraid of cracking than fading.
1T is funny thing" pursued Mr. Neale.
now pictures will sometimes crack in one
place. Very likely it comes from some
chemical combinations in the colors that
the artist has used blndly. Varnish is
dangerous stuff. The director of the Art
Gallery of Munich has lately invented "A
beautiful process for taking il off
Varnlsh turns yellow, and some of the old
masters had been renovated so often that
they we're clothed in two coats of it. When
the varnish was taken off il became posi-
bic to see the painting again. AS for the
durability of frescos it depends to a great
extent upon the foundation. When the
old frescos have had good treatment they
have lasted.
AS l said BEFORE" concluded Mr.. Neale.
"a man has got to live few centuries to
find out the nature of our modern colors." "

canyon, where the redwocds blocked every
other step and turned the trail into
writhing serpent.
Due homage was paid to the high links
god of Bohemia when the clump OF trees
where he reposes was reached. Great
white Buddh23 was ,propitiated by taking
snap shots OF him while the crowd walked
about on his arms and sat on his eyelids.
The big image has come to be one of the
institutions of the canyon. and no one pen
etrates into these depths without seeking
it out.
On. further down the canyon now, then
up and up over green and flowered hills.
The beauties of the place are always
charming. sometimes grand and imposing.
In the depths giant ferns grow and the
soil is rotting redwood.
The climb over the hills was slow. Even
Ruddlck's big steps were not quite so big
or so rapid. The sun was getting low.
The ten werr getting hungry.
It's half way when we get to Lone
on an empty bottle that went by the board.
Now the halts became more frequent
the scenery was so enchanting.
Not mnn was tired.
Lone Pine was made-a giant cone pine
standing all alone on the hiltop-and
passed, then the trail dipped again.
1t did finally have an ending, too, al
though for awhile that seemed very
prohlematic. And the end was at Willow
Camp, not very celebrated watering
place, but one of the very few sheltered
spots on the coast. To the west a long
sandbank separates it from the beach.
a good trout stream runs through the
camp and about dozen acres on each side
of the stream at this point are thickly
grown with wild willow trees, live oak
and madropa.

Mr.. Blinn enthusiastically, "and surf
bathing. The place is an Eden. The road
to it leads through shaded dells and
f1owerY fields, and Juke's cooking IS un-
surpassed"
Here was another point-that about the
cooking-upou which the most unbelieving
skeptic would be apt to credit Blinn as an
authority.
And so the fourteen went.
They are not sorry that they did so. but
those who went for ''stroli over the
hills" instead If taking the stage at Man
Zanlta have blistered feet and stiffenec
joints to attest their more ample knowl-
edge of the Blinn capacity for underest-
mating distances which lie was careful to
avnid.
Twelve walked; two rode. Of the twelve
Bllnn and couple OF others chose what
they were pleased to call the "short cut"
ITS an uninteresting route" said
Blinn. You fellows want to 90 down
through Redwood Canyon and take in all

under the vests of the ten who were not
tired.
Those who came by the stage or took the
shorter and easier read had already laid
their nights store of solid provender.
They deemed il their special duty 10 sit
around and lecture the hungry ten upon
the evils of overeating. and when Mr..
Blinn had lighted his second cigar he
joined the lecturing corps. He told story
about the dog that WAS so hungry that it
began to eat its own body. beginning at
the TAIL 1t eat so ravenously and SO reck-
lessy that by the time it had consumed all
of its carcass except the head it was so
much overfpd that 1t burst.
Then Mr.. Blinn went outside to enjoy
the night air and escape The flying missiles.
He told no more stories that night.
After dinner came the campfire. the
yarns and the songs. In semlclrcle the
fourteen sat and lounged or stood about
the flaming embers till nearly midnight.
Came IN ghtcaps" then and sound slum-
bers under the willows by the roaring
breakers, with only the thinness of can
vas tent between the Sleepers and the
wide world.
Surf bathing in the morning for some,
trout fishing for others. Then Juke
breakfast.
There is tradition still extant about
Willow Camp that cnce Juke'S ancestors
spelt their name Duke. Then the new
Tangled pronunciation came III and Juke
reformed the spelling of his name to con-
form with its sound. This is extraneous,
of course.
The main event in the morning was
Juke's bath. 1t occurred about 10 O'clock,
as nearly as the time has been fixed, and
consisted OF a plunge into the ice-cold
waters of the stream few score of feet
above the drinking trough. The Juke had
built a little dam there and the water has
accumulated to about the width and ex-
tent of bathtub. OF course, the feature
of this bath was its supposed proximity to
the drinking water. and not few of those
who had been philosophizing about the
publication of running water were almost
disappointed when they learned that the
drinking water is piped down to camp
from half mile above the location of
Juke's bathtub.
On the return trip but three hardy
elm mbers took the trail to Mill Valley.
Four walked to Milwood. Seven took
the stage. There were fourteen sun
tanned and wind-toughened and fresh-air
renovated insurance men, cashiers, secre-
taries, bookkeepers and grain brokers'
clerks in San Francisco, Monday morning

When the crest of the south spur was
reached some one suggested halt to view
the scenery" There was, of course. no
other poss bile reason for stopping at this
stage of the proceedings.
Sill. from the moumtain top one sees the
scenery just as well by sitting down or
even lying down. These ten viewed it

the high altitude.

And the view was certainly magnificent.
worth even the climb. Mill Valley lay inn
mediately at the feet, and more than 1900
feet below conld be seen the tall pines and
underbrush a. the bottom o. the canyon.
San Francisco Bay and all its islands
were sharp and clear in the distance, and
the hills of Oakland and Contra Costa
were blue outlines on the far distant
horizon.
Now came the descent into Redwood
ClDyon. 1t would have been little
quicker to have jumped down, but the
aerial path would not have been much
straighter and the mortality consequences
40 greater than if false step had been
made on his downward trail.
At the very bottom of it was one OF
those shaded dels that Binn had told
about. Here the ten seated themselves
about on the big stones that rose up ont
of the creek bed or stretched out on the
grass at the waters edge.
A cascade at one end of the dell walled
it in there and made little basin at that
part of the creek. The water comes down
there from the very summit of Tamalpais.
1t was cold and sparkling. Tall redwood
trees bGrdered the basin on two sides. 1t
was cool, delightful place.

brows in IT, Then on down through the

ITS only a pleasant stroll over the

that he probably made himself believe it
was true.
1t was easy enough for him to convinre
the others, for he said il each time with a
straight face and pointed out in proof of
bis assertion that he had walked it often

HANDSOME BRADY.
He Was High Private During lhe
F.iodoc War.
How Captain Jack Bested IIim-His
Remarkable Escape From the
Scene of War

Handsome Brady, the experienced
trusty who has adorned the City Jail for
so long a time, proving himself not only
ornamental but also useful, in his calmer
hours, is growing weary OF peace and
sighs for the breaking out of another war,
so lie can re-enlist.
According to his accounts, which are
not accompanied by a1lidavits, he served
nineteen years in the regular army, and
passed through the smoke of many bat
ties (and bottles).
lie tells "UncIe john" the cook, of
many remarkably narrow escapes
through which he has passed and OF many
deeds of valor he has taken part in. After
helping to Kill OFF all the Indians in Ari-
zona and New Mexico, being shanghaied
from san Francisco and taile en- as far as
Goat Island, from where he swan to Val
leIo on cold day, Brady was finally
mustered into the Modoc war, and fought
Captain Jack, Boston Charley, Scar Face,
Scunchin and their warriors in the Law a

AZ one time, Brady says. he was de-
talled, with i've other priyates- were
as hlgh as they could get i'll the ranllS-to
surround and capture about seventeen of
Captain jacks force, anu they rounded
the "lnjups" up like rabbits at rabbit
drive.
Captain Jack, however, was tco willy
ior brady anG his comrades, tor he pro-
duced the cauteen OF a lamented soldier
and soon had his besiegers hOrS dU conn
Ctf, non COHlQUS, posse cOBtHlitdtGS, etc.
ana threw them into Goose Lake. They
were all too highly spirited to sink.
which was the only thing that saved
them, and they tloated ashore.
At another time, Brady swears. he was
chased six miles i'll six hours by go In
dams, who were painted green, with red
stripes on them for pants. The lava beds
were fail Of tunnels and holes, and when
Il man ran into one, with the Indians
alter nim, he never knew where he
would come out.
Brady was chased into one of these
caves one day by the hostiles, and after
travelling as fast and as far as he could
came up out OF 4 well one day to find
hlmselt in Tehama County-300 miles
from the seat of war-the longest time he
ever had 10 90 thirsty in his life. Before
he could recover his normal condition
