A FTER sketching for two months

"a where he had been trying to
forget that he was the most
miserable fellow in the west, Claude
Extrum, artist unarrived," as he styl.
ed himself, turned his face toward his
lonely mountain cabin among the pines
in Rainbow canyon.
Purposely he had stunned Denver,
declining the invitation of two artist
friends to a big Christmas reception
He did not want to run the possibility
of meeting Aldyce. 1t would be pain
fuI to both. since her father had de
nounced him as good for nothing,
fortune hunting dabber."
Art must first be mastered, the cold
critics won. then if Aldyce had not
forgotten, his great dream would be
come sweet reality. But what If
she should forget him? There was a
capriciousness in the sex that was
quite beyond his understanding.
1t was noon when he reached the
large cabin among the pines. The first
room he visited was the studio, gay
with warm colored Indian blankets and
the walls covered with sketches by his
own brush and n few copies of the
masters On his easel was an unfin-
ished picture. just as he had left II

brushed off the dust and looked long
into the laughing brown eyes of a
lovely girl. Underneath was pencied
the name "Aldyce."
With deep drawn breath he re
placed the cover and went into the
kitchen. In the large zinc lined pro-
vision box he found that Joe Clark. the
prospector who had looked after the
cabin during Claude's absence, had
obeyed his instructions by leaving a
sack of -four. some beans, sugar. part
of a ham and dried venison.
Nov I'll have supper after my
own Appetite" he declared. making a
fire in the little stove.
Presently pot of beans, with piece
of ham to give flavor was bubbing
away. filling the room with its savory
steam. Then Claude swept the floors,
wiped 1.-The accumulated dust off the
simple furniture and proceeded to make
a lonely house look comfortable.
II must decorate to be in spirit with
the season. he said. after scanning
walls and unadorned mantel shelf.

A JOLLY game for the Yuletide
~ evening is called at" In
~ playing this game some peo-
pie are exceedingly clever,
while others are very unsuccessful.
The players sit in a circle, and
questioner Is chosen and sent from the
room. The circle selects an object, or
an ''it," for her to guess from answers
to questions she will ask. These ques-
lions must refer always to the object
to be guessed MS it and be answered
only by "yes" or no" The questioner
does not know that each answer will
really refer TO the left hand neighbor
Of the player Intercepted, but that is
the secret Of the game and the thing
that confuses and worries question
er almost TO lunacy. She may ask the
same question-always TO the left
several times in succession or all
around the circle if she thinks she can
guess 'it' In that way.
The questions are limited in number.
the latter being fixed by common con
sent. The number Of questions, how
ever, must not exceed in number the
PLAYERS, but the number Of players
may be less than the allotted number
Of questions.
AS an example Of how questioners
may be confused the following Is
given:
Mrs. So-and-so may be selected to be
at" The questioner is called in. She
asks Of a man. us it manT His
left hand neighbor is a woman, so he
replies, NO" OF the next or the
nelghbor just mentioned IS asked, rs
it a woman" Her next neighbor be-
ing a man, again comes the answer
"No." as it alive" Of the next
Eyes" Now, as there are no living
things but men and women in the
room the questioner begins to see light
and suspects the intention to confuse
her.
OF course she knows there Is some
rule by which the questions are an
swered, and so she may go all over
them again in reverse or some order
until two answers agree. This may
be difficult because the object and ar
rangement Of the circle are to make the
answers disagree. 1t may be that she
learns that 'it'' is woman after all
and then she must find out, again by
questions as to type, age, proximity,
color of gown, etc, which one Of the
circle is sit"

EVANS IS READY
TO START CRUSADE
SAYS HE Is WILLING
To CLEAN UP PORTLAND
Candidate for District Attorney First
Will Make Sure of His Legal status
Would Act Free from Politics
COnfers With West.

Portland. Ore. Aug. 26-On a
knotty question of law hinges the ac-
Ceptance by Walter II. Evans, repub-
lican candidate for district attorney
of Multnomah county. Of his appoint
ment by Governor West as special
prosecutor for the state, in the "clean
up" campaign TO purge Portland of
vice.
''If certain legal conditions can be
met, l have about concluded that
will accept the appointment" said
Mr.. Evans.
There are matters which I feel
that / should discuss With the gover-
nor before making them public. but
they have to do with the legal stand
ing that such a special prosecutor
would have before the grand jury"
The principal problem that is puZ-
szling Mr.. Evans, after a careful peru
: sal of the statutes. is known to be
whether indictments brought by the
grand jury through the activity of
the special prosecutor would be held
by the courts to have legal status.
Sanctioned by Law.
sOS the power of the governor to
appoint a special prosecutor in situa-
tions like the present one in Port
land there is no question, for that
power is expressly conferred upon the
executive by a section of Lords Ore
gon Laws. The point at issue is
whether the law gives the special
prosecutor legal standing when he
is working Independently of the dis
trict attorney. as Mr. Evans would be
doing in his vice crusade work.
The statute relating to the work
of the grand jury provides that only
the witnesses and the district attor-
ney shall appear before the grand
jur. AS Mr.. Evans would not be dis
trict attorney, nor one of his depu-
ties. il is feared that the courts might
hold that he would therefore not be
qualified to secure the bringing of in
dictments.
If District Attorney Cameron were
TO resign, or should be removed from
office by Governor West the situa-
ton would clear itself automatically,
for in that event it is known that the
governor would Immediately name
Mr.. Evans for the vacancy. District
Attorney Cameron. however has so
far shown no disposition to resign,
and as yet the governor has not ta-
