Homer Norton I POST OREGON (O im kr UoClurt Ntwipapcr ayatlk-IO Tli iliiht of a jrouug man atrldlng raplitly along the road toward her fa ther wootl'ot wa not In Itself enough to make pretty Kll lHan raise her ayea ta follow htm ; hut when the par tlrular young bub tt drensed In flan neli Instead of the "blue n" that were the accepted weekday attire of her Immediate envlrtmmeut, and when he carries tit one buod a spindly look luj: arrunKement of rod and bnicee and In riie other a black cae that la too large to be a doctor's bag aad toa small to be a suitcase; and when he has on his hack an oddly shaped bundle; and In particular when he It handsome and cure-free looking. It It auiall wonder that Elsie looked after htm. Indeed, she went to the front gate to see htm go down the rond. w hich Is why she saw him suddenly swing aside from the beaten path and clluih over the fence that divided the wood lot from the outer world. Now hor father's woodlot was ter ra sam-il.slma, ss she well knew. It bristled with "No Trespassing" signs and warnings hinting at the extremi ties of legal pnlns and punishments for the hardy soul who should set foot wlihin Its sacred glndes; so El sie's surprise soou turned to wrath. Her father and his men were all In the far field, haylns, and there was no Immediate male to whom she could Imik for assistance; hut she did not h .tltate. Down the rond she ran and over the fence on the stranger's trull. She whs up with him In almost a moment; he had evidently not heard hor coming, and she was prepared to blast his soul with a scathing com mand to depart, when the oddity of his conduct struck her. He had nn folded the spindly arrangement, ami lo! It was a tripod with a cross-piece ; and on the tripod rested a square of snowy canvas ; and out of the little Mack hag many, many brushes and a lot of little tuhes and a heart shaped piece of wood on which the young man proceeded to squeeze the conrents of some of the tubes the brightest reds and greens and yellows r.Sic hml ever seen. And then Oils startling young man began to make line? on the white canvas, humming to himself as he did so. Enthralled, and totally forgetting her previous vengeful Ideas, Klsle drew nearer; lie heard her. and turned sharply. "Oh!" she gasped. And then, re memherln his Iniquity, she went on sharply, "This Is my futher'a wood- lot!" i "Really?" The young man did not teem particularly Impressed by the statement. "Yes, It Is and you're trespassing." "So lam! I did notice some signs, but I didn't pay much attention to them. I don't believe In signs." I "Oh !" Elsie was not quite sure she I was not being made fun of; the stranger seemed so Irrltatlngly calm, ! at though the right was on tils side ' rather than hers. "You'll be arrested '; If you stay here much longer.' I "I've never been arrested. I wonder what It's like. Is the local calaboose j comfortable, do you think?" Then '. dropping his manner of badinage, he j continued : "Really, I know quite well ' that I am trespassing; hut I am work ing on a painting with which I hope to I win a great prize, and these woods I are exactly what I want for a back ground. It seemed a pity to miss the perfect opportunity Just for the off chance of being arrested, so I came In. I Intended to ask permission, but there teemed to be no one in fight, so I Just broke and entered. Now, please don't turn me over to the police!" His penitent manner mollified Elsie, and besides, her curiosity wag aroused. "Oh you're an artist?" "Yes In a way. if my picture takes the prize I shall know that I am an artist. I live In hope. And you must not be so hard-hearted as to blast my ambition. There is no other stretck of forest which so exactly suits my purpose as this." "Well you can stay hut you must ask my father's permission after to day." "I will." Eut he seemed In no hur ry to go on with the work. Instead, he looked at Elsie looked so long that she became embarrassed and blushed. "I beg your pardon!" he exclaimed. "1 had no right to stare so, hut " "But what?" as he hesitated. "Oh nothing. If you will excuse me I will go ahead with my work." Elsie lingered ; but he did not seem to be doing much but putting aimless looking lines on the canvas, so she soon left. When she had gone the artist Mi to work with a fury, pnlnr ing like lightning. "I must hold It!" he muttered to himself. "I must hold It! Just what I have sought!" And he painted more furiously than ever. That evening he came over to the farmhouse to gain official consent to paint his pictures In the woodlot, and Elsie's father, a good-natured man, al lowed him to continue, "s'long as ye don't light no fires ner cut no timber." Assured of the young man's intention to abstain from arson or larceny, all was well. . Day after day the young man worked, and he soon fell Into the habit of coming over to the farmhouse In the evening, for the ostensible pur pose of talking to some one. The hote! In town, he explained, was not ex actly Itiiurloua In tta appolutmenta, and he welcomed the chauce for human Intercourse. Thus matters proceeded throughout the summer. The artist worked III defallcably. and Piste, with whom he was soon on terms of Intimate friend ship, often begged to see the picture; but he would never oblige her curi osity. "When It's finished," he would say. "and not till then. It lookt all uiuddly and mesy now and I want you to be the first crltle to tee It complete." Bo Klsle was forced to be salUned. One evening, however, he lingered Instead of going to the hotel. Kline had remained on the plassa to enjoy the moonlight for a few Dimneiii. "Eltle." he tuld, "I want you to com to the woods tomorrow morning. The picture It almost finished there I only one more day'a work on It and I want yo to my what you think." She Joined him In the wood-lot as th morning sunlight Altered through the branches. Before her was the easel, covered with a cloth. He led her close to the frame, then .suddenly took the cloth may. Elsie looked, then gasped and looked again. He fore her on the canvas was Ihe fa-' miliar wood-lot, with lis tall aisle and green lights and shadows; but under the biggest tree there stood a flgure dressed In white a while dress like the one she had worn the first dny the had met him. It looked like her selfand yet was she this rndlamly beautiful creature? With a riHdi In her throat, she turned to the artist, "Is It Is It really I?" "It Is you. Just as you were when I first saw you. I came a hundred miles to tlnd my Ideal, and I found It In you." "Oh !" Ele closed her eyes Strong arms were holding her close, mid t i voice that she knew she loved was 1 whispering magic word to her. "oh, ; I never guessed hut I know now that I wanted It all the lime dear." The urtlst rlasd her. "I came , dow n here to work for a prize," he said; "hut I never dreamed I should: And the biggest prlie In the world i you I Cornett Stage Co.
