Deer Herder Of .Nineties Visits
 Juneau Recently

JUNEAU When PAA's twin motored Electra swept down the runway at Mendenhall Airport and taxied to a stop before the airport offices recently bandy- legged little Laplander jumped nimbly to earth in his parka and muklukS to turn the clock back to the Wondersome nineties for those who have read or remem- Der.
 The little man was another '98 arrival, "72 years my age," but unlike most figures associated with that often mentioned year of gold rush times he was not the typical Alaska oldtimer of rush days.
 His name is J. Runana, a little Laplander, who sometime 1890, something' came to North Am erica and Alaska with one of the first reindeer herds brought to the Northland in an experiment by the United State government to determine whether or not such animal husbandry introduced would give the Eskimo a meat supply and a vocation.
 That first herd came in 1892 and by 1902, 1,280 animals had been brought from distant Lap land to tundras north of Nome. Laplander herders were sent with the reindeer to teach the Eskimos and the Alaskan white men reindeer handling.
 Ruana does not speak English well, and he was a bit bewilder- ed in Juneau. Even though per haps he understands that his Lap land reindeer he grew up with, have become pawns in a confus- ing game of politics in Washing ton. D. C., yesterday he was only looking forward to seeing his new home in Sitka at the Pio- neers' Home.
 He scratched his thatch of shin ing black hair and his thin lips set in Wizened Mongolian featur- es twitched the beginning of a smile of amusement that finished with a bright twinkle in his small dark eyes.
 Some town!' he giggled in a surprising American slang.
 In the summers, Ruana worked for the KiWalik Dredging Com pany at Candle, and in the win ters he has been herding Lomen reindeer. Juneau is the biggest city he has seen in over forty years. His trip from Kotzebue to Juneau was entirely by plane, his first time in the air.
 Something " he grinned open ly in that surprising 1888 slang attempt again when asked how he liked his only airplane ride.
 His poor English, his reindeer herder's clothing of the Arctic, and his lively bowlegged walk brought smiles to those who saw him in the street, but to those who saw deeper and visioned the part this strange Lap had played in Alaska's development, the smiles were tempered with a deep respect for hardy race that gave Alaska something In which the receiving parties have forgotten the giving.

father beside one of the pens that
opened off the corral. Within it a
large, robust eve stood in maternal
dignity, while about her pranced a
day-old lamb on its ridiculous legs,
ficking an absurd cottony tail.
Autumn laughed in sheer delight.
"On, you little rascal!" she said.

She checked her horse to a walk
as she rode up the gravel approach
between the tall pines. A light was
discernible now in the east tower Of
the Castle. Her fathers study was
there, and he himself would proba-
bly, be seated now in his deep leath-
er chair, lost to his surroundings in
the pages of one of his old and be-
loved books. Except for the subdued
glow of the light in the spacious hall
the house was in darkness. Old Han
nah, the housekeeper, who had been
Autumn's nurse, would have gone to
bed long since.
Now from within the house a dog
barked-once, twice, deep-throat-
ed and ominous sound. Autumn hur-
ried up the steps and glanced
through the heavy glass panel of the
door. Her fathers great Irish wolf
hound was coming down the stair
case with his Looping, magnificent
gait. Sc tried the door, found it
unlocked, and entered.
Old Jarvis Dean, his heavy briar
stick in his hand, was coming slow
ly down behind the dog. At the first
sight of her he let his cane fall and
supported himself with one hand on
the shining black balustrade. The
other moved slowly across his
brows.
Autumn rushed up the staircase.
Hello, Dai" she cried, and flung
her arms about his STOPPING form.
Don't faint, darling, it's really mel
Down, Pat, you jealous old thingl"
"God bless my soul!" Jarvis ex-
claimed "What's this, what's thisl"
Il tell you, it's me, darlingl"
Her father placed an arm trem-
blingly about her and held her for a
moment without speaking. Present
ly she heard his voice, a voice al
most whisper, the defenseless
voice of a sleepwalker.
"Autumn-my little Autumnl"

laughing with excitement. "Oh, Dad
dy-let me look at you'll"
He stopped and picked up his
cane, then turned and took a couple
of steps up the stairway. His great

voice resounded in the hall. Han
nah! Hannah! Come down." He beat
his cane sharply on the stairs. Han
nah, | say!"
The old woman's voice responded
from above, breathless from excite
ment. I'm coming, I'm coming.
What in the world has happened?"
"Come down, you dunderhead,
and see for yourself!"
He turned to Autumn and put his
fingers to his lips to warn her
against crying out. Then he began
walking uncertainty down the stairs,
Autumn moving before him, her
voice vivid and young in the austere
silence of the lofty hall.
20, Dal can't tell you what it
means to be home again." She
turned upon him suddenly and threw
her arms about him once more. Il
didn't say word to you about my
coming, darling, because IL didn't
want you to know. I wanted to sur
prise you"
He looked at her sternly. Don't
lie to me, you young brat, he
warned her, with enough humor in
his eyes to take the sting from his
words. "You didn't tell me about
it because you knew I'd forbid it.
That's why"
Autumn kissed him and laughed.
"What difference does it make, you
dear rascal! We belong together
and we belong here. That ought to
be reason enough for anything.
Reason? Reason? There is no
reason in anything you do. You're a
woman, and the devil himself is in
women! But so into the room there
and get some light on you so | can
see what you look like"
Autumn turned from him and
skipped toward the doorway that
opened into the drawing room. She
pushed the button on the wall and
the long room became flooded with
a pleasant amber radiance Autumn
clasped her hands as she stood still
for a moment, her senses possess
ing the room. making its simple
harmonies her own again.
Jarvis seated himself before The
white marble fireplace, where pink
glow slumbered in the violet-colored
ash. From a tiny, lemon-hued satin
settee opposite, Autumn looked at
him. His lone. Don2 hands were

One of the sheep dogs, q graceful

and Jarvis stopped to pat him. "T

said, then decided TO turn the con-

Her father turned on her brusque-
ly. IT'D be a poor creature that
couldn't get along better without eli

''That'n be enough of that fool talk
for this night" said old Hannah as
she entered the room and came to-
ward them bearing her loaded tray.
Autumn laughed and placed a
small table before the fireplace as
her father sank once more into his
chair.
