During the past few weeks our din. trict has been infested with ail kinds of roaming cattle, Including horses, cows and goats. This has been going on to such an extent that the police have been kept very busy of late In rounding up the herds and taking them to the pound. Certainly no criticism can be made of the police, for they oertainly have been doing their duty in arresting the cattle when found. We believe that the only way we may have relief is by a new ordinance mak ing the minimum Ane of $2.50, and that eaeh One go to the Policemen's Pension uand. Some provision should also be made to prevent the remission of the fines by the judges. We do not believe that snap judgment should be taken on everyone guilty of allowing either their dis- horse or cow to be on the streets, but we do believe that for the second or subsequent offences they should re *. ceive the maximum punishment and ngS should not be allowed to ask the mercy ice of the courts, notwithstanding their in financial conditions, whatever they em might be. Bm The New Orleans Parking Commis sion is soon to plant elm trees on Pell ey can avenue, but should they start this ity under the present conditions it will be d. a waste of money and of tree because sy they would soon be destroyed by the & cattle, it not by eating of the leaves and branches, they are often destroyed by the cattle rubbing against the tree b boxes and pushing them over, thus me looeening the roots, with the ultimate e death oe the trees. "Christmas Gitt!i SawYe First'!" O : f *41k 'Ai rr h 0· 4h· 'Q ;.' ·L~·2 r~i .a I:. ·`·0 CHRISTMAS IN RAINBOW CANYON By ADDISON HOWARD GIBSON. [Copyright, 1912. by American Press Asso clation.] FTER sketching for two months in various parts of the Rockies, where he had been trying to forget that he was the most miseable 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 shunned Denver. declining the Invitation of two artist friends to a big Christmas reception. He did not want to run the possibility of meeting Aldyce. It would be pain ful to both, since her father had de nounced him as a "good for nothing. fortune hunting dabbler." Art must first be mastered, the cold critics won, them if Aldyce had not forgotten, his great dream would be come sweet reality. But what ij I she should forget him? There was a capriciousness in the sex that was quite beyond his understanding. It 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 a few copies of the masters. On his easel was an unfin ished picture, just as he had left it when he went away in the latter part of October. He drew aside the cloth. brushed off the dust and looked long into the laughing brown eyes of a lovely girl. Underneath was penciled the name "Aldyce." With a 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 flor, some beans, sugar, part of a ham and dried venison. "Now I'll have a supper after my own appetite," he declared, making a fre in the little stove. Presently a pot of beans, with a piece of ham to give flavor, was bubbling away, filling the room with its savory steam. Then Claude swept the floors, wiped the accumulated dust off the simple furniture and proceeded to make a lonely house look comfortable. "I must decorate to be in spirit with "i the season," he said, after scanning walls and unadorned mantel shelf. in By the time the young man returned p1 with his arms full of decorations a hi cold wind was racing down the pass, g, driving a steadily increasing fall of at snow and sleet before it. "Gee! Old Boreas is sending me some te Christmas weather with all the frills," bh he soliloquized, making a run for the st, shelter of the cabin. gi Claude had scarcely put the last of the mountain holly on the walls and th built a cheerful big fre in the fire- he place in the studio when the door burst open, letting in a dash of snow, in the th midst of which stood a slender youth gli In a furry overcoat and cap, with huge rai goggles over his eyes. be "Well, can't you come in and shut tot the door?" demanded the artist impa tiently as he stared at the apparition in before him. "I must look like I'm posing as old att Santa, don't I ?" laughed the boy. Then. a I with a start of recognition, "Claude titl Extrum, as I live and whistle!" Suit- las Ing the action to the word. he gave vent to a prolonged whistle. ml A Careful Patient A woman whose throat had troubled her for a long time. says a writer in at the Philadelphia Ledger, grew Impa- 5to tient at the slow progress she was making and made complaint to her d'a doctor, who said: nei "Madam, I can never emre you of this throat troble unless you stop ha talking and give your threat a com- m= plate mat." C "But, doctor." objected the patient -fr very careful what I my. I never C M harh lnguage or alythite that kiad," hbe The artist grew red atd white by turns as he recognized the boy. It was the sixteen-year-old brother of Aldyce! "Hlal Banniers!" he cried. "Where did you drop from ?" "From the snow clouds." answered the youth, hugging the surprised artist. S"This is some luck. all right. fiudinding shelter, and Just think of its being your mountain retreat. Aldyce is out there In the car. The machine broke down Just below your cabin." "s Aldyce in the car out in this storm:" , cried Claude. buttoning up his coat and to rushing to the door. "Yes. We were on our way to FPra le zier's, up Bear canyon," Hal shouted I- his explanatiou as he clung to his cony s panion's arm through the snowy gale. "The Frazlers are giving an old fash ioned Christmas eve party at their ranch house. You know Aldyce and t Dell Frazler were great pals at school. so Aldyce was bound to go to the par ty. I was sure I knew the road there. but this snow came on so suddenly I was a little confused where the roads fork. Aldyce insisted this was the right way, so we came up the wrong can yon." The artist paid scant heed to young Bannier's explanation. As they sturdily f breasted the keen, snow burdened wind toward the crippled car he was thlnk a rb s-ti' _ "ssLPI PsL I" sus CauD ai nooK ing what a strange prank fate had played on him. He had wanted to bury1 himself in his mountain cabin, sixty fve miles away from Aldyce, and here she was, snowbound at hbls door. The wrecked automobile in the snow tempest looked like a red rock halft burted in raging whitecaps near a stormy shore. In the back seat sat a s girl veiled and clad in rich furs. "Aldycer' exclaimed Claude, opening the door wide enough to admit his bead. "We are uninvited guests," laughed the girl, giving him one of her small gloved hands. The girl was the more h rational of the two, the young artist being too confused to offer the cun tomary courtesies of host. "Come, Claude, why don't you ask us r in? I'm getting cold." she reminded n him. "Perhaps you want me to freeze tiff and stark out here so you can have J. a real model for a famous patintg en titled 'Frosen In a Motorcar,"' a he laughed lightly. Without a word in reply she felt her selt lifted ain the man's strong arms. The $tory of Mary. Little Mary started to achool, selate =ad pencil in hand. By and by f he a mopped the use of the slate, and the "'blet" was substituted. She aulso gopped the "r," and "May" w U her ..ew name. n ih school days inct eued hert bnwledge oand also her name.

"1Ial. l,i:;. I' e .uit cases. The re mountain I :..i:al i. c.rrying off your sister." d Claude Extrlin deposited his guest in . a great easy vchair in front of the blaz blng pine log on the fireplace. Then he Ir helped her remove her wraps. rresent re ly she sat banck quite at her ease, her ' handsomely shod feet on an Improvised footstool, while her face glowed in the dancing firelight. ' "What are you cooking. Claude, that smells so tarnation good?" demanded HIal, sniffing robustly as he found a place for the suit cases in an unoccu pied corner of the studio. "Not a Christmas turkey, you young gastronomer," answered Claude, his ir somberness leaving him under the d merry mood of his two unexpected guests. "It's beans--pure, unadulter-! ated beans," he added, with a tragic air. "This is a regular bean soup even I ing." observed Aldyce. "I'm sure I shall enjoy it." t "I want the largest bowl in your china collection." ordered Hal, assist- 4 Ing the artist to sift flour for the bis cuits. "Nature has endowed me with a big sized attachment for bean soup." "The pot is full," said Claude, lifting the lid to give the boy a peep, "but if you advise an extension we might bring the wash boiler into service." It was a merry meal to which they sat down as the early dusk of Christ 'mas eve began to creep into the rustic studio. Hal declared the bean soup was nectar, and Aldyce herself pinned up her sleeves and made delicious cof fee. But the reaction came to Claude at the close of the feast. He suddenly pushed back his chair from the table and sat moodily staring Into the crum bling embers on the hearth. Aldyce regarded the young man's clouded countenance for a short time in silence, a mysterious twinkle in her dark eyes. Then she arose and walked over to the window. "Hal," she called to her brother, who showed symptoms of dosing in his chair, "the snow has almost stopped. I want you to go out and see if the ear is still properly covered." With a yawn the young fellow obey ed, whistling merrily as he trudged down the canyon. Quickly Aldyce opened her suit case, took out a long envelope and laid It before the artist. "A Christmas gift for you," she said simply, the mysterious smile now lurk- 4 ing at the corners of her mouth. "Open it, Claude." He obeyed and a crisp check for $3,000 dropped Into his hand. Then he read the accompanying note: Dear Old Pal-The inclosed check to for your painting, "Rainbow Canyon In Sum mer," sold to the famous art collector. Mr. Stevens of New York. He wants the same scene In winter at your own price. He says to be prepared for some orders from his friends. Merry Christmas! LAWRENCE. "Aldyce, how did you learn I was here?" he asked, moving toward her. "Lawrence told me. I was In the studio when Mr. Stevens bought your picture on exhibition there. He was so happy for you he let out your se cret that you were coming here to bury yourself for the holidays," she replied. 'Then I planned" She hesitated, blushed, looking at him with laughing eyes. "Dell Fradser's party," he finished boldly. "How dare you insinuate that I fab ricated that as an excuse to bring you the. good news of your fortune?' she taunted him, assuming a tone of in jury. He sprang toward her. With a little cry of eigned fright she eluded him, but stopped under the hanging lamp, where a dangling spray of mistletoe tosnehed her hair. Then he kissed her.
