He lives for the present at Letterman General Hospital at the t Presidio in San Francisco. He can and d^es dance fox trots and one steps. How? Why? Of course to dance a fox trot or i a one-step a fellow has to have legs? j good legs. Well, Evans has them? not his own legs of flesh and bone,' but bis own willow legs with joints and everything. He is going to leave Letternian pretty soon and go back to r wnrk and make his living and probably get married and raise children. That's the how. The why of it is?the government of the United States has gone in for leg and arm making. It is giving a I specially built leg or arm or hand or j a pair of legs or arms or bands to ev Kift lrtflro ortno cry Buiuier wuu iusi mo icgo vi m i?o in the war.

It is one of the least expensive, but it is costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Remember that when Uncle Sam comes a-knocking at your door with the Victory Liberty Loan.'

Pal grew up with the sheep his mother looked after, and learned all ; the tricks of rounding them up and | bringing them in. I>ut he learned a whole lot more than the average sheep dog knows. He learned that every I other unim;U as well as sheep can be directed and guided and taken care I of if you know how to do it. So when ' Pal's owner wants any certain animal I on the farm brought in, he simply I tells the dog what he wants and Pal attends to it. He can tell the dog to go to the pasture a mile away and :* ?

Hut the strange thing about it is that Pal also brings in other dogs. His owner has numerous bird dogs, which he trains upon the plantation. Pal helps train them. If a dug g^ts too far away, the trainer says.,"Pal. l*ring him in," and Pal does so. He rims to the dog and crowds him toward the owner. He simply will not let him go in any other direction. He ! doesn't fight the other dog, although at times it may be necessary for him , to take hold of an ear and nip it a ; little. P?ut he annoys the dog until : there is nothing else for it to do but to be guided by Pal.

If two dogs get into a fight, Pal separates them. If he finds a j couple of hogs or chickens fighting, | he does the same thing. He doesn't j bother anything upon the plantation ' unless it if doing something it ought ! not to do, and then he takes a hand in the matter and settles it. If he finds a pig in a field where it doesn't belong, he drives it out without being directed to do so. If a horse slips its bridle while hitched to the hitching post and cavorts down the road, it Is only for a few moments, for Pal In close upon its heels or at its nose and he brings it back and keeps it ! tanding where it was left.
