had once been ber chum in the
tour of a revue.
Phyl bad been in .the chorus with
a few lines to speak; Tausy had
been one er the dancers', and they
bad shared digs. But Phyl had
"got on" since then, according to
the opinion of the world, and Tense'
was down on her luck.
As she went out of the tea ghc.p,
she drew her coat more closely
around her, and she ,thought of

her little teeth, and made up her

CHAPTER
The Stolen Kiss.
The next day the postman was
very late. He had not come wben
Ralt'h left The Laurels, and Taney
looked anxious,
"I expect if I don't, get a letter 1
shall get a wire," she said to Ralph
in the hall. "Aunt Edith is sure
to send, so it I don't see you
again—good=bye, lir. Ransom and
thank you so much for all your
kindness."
Ralph felt a curious. pang as he
hurried' away. Ships that pass is
the night, he and Tansy,
Perhaps that was the last time lit
would ever see her. The wis"ui
little face haunted him all day.
in the evening he approached
the tboarding-house in suspense
greater than he would have confess-
ed even to himself, yet somehow, lie
did' not feel as' if she had hone
away.
And when he went In, there she
was, looking pas and subdued. He
had no chance of speaking to her
before dinner, but he had eyes only
for her,
When he went into the drawing -
room after dinner he saw Tansy
setting on alow hassock,
'I had my letter," she said, 1' ok
ng up at him. "It came by the
midday post."
"And It was• too late for you to
travel to -day?" he said, with an odd
mingling of satisfaction and regret.
'1 can't go at ail," she answered
".My aunt can't have me. She has
shut her house and gone to slay
with friends."
"I'm se sorry you are disappoint-
ed," Ralph cried. 'But Dora asked
me to say haw glad all of them will
be if you'll come round. Lt's Dera's
birthday, they're taking a party to
the theatre, Plenty or room for
you in their box."
Oh, Mr. Ransom:, I never kcew
such kind people," said Tansy.
"Miss Sheldon came round to -day
and asked, me if I'd heard from
annttie, • and she brought me such
sheet messages from her mother
and father, and was such a dear."
"Slee was, talking of it last night,"
seed Ralph. "They were afraid
you might not hear from Mrs. Whit-
field in time,"
He escorted her to Roselands
nett da.y.
Dora gave her a warm weleotee,

And Tansy was a very sweet
guest.
11 was quite a family party who
sot down to dinner.
Rebell and Tansy were the only
visitors, and Ralph was "one of the
family" now, as Mr, Sheldon re-
minded him,
Dora was ashamed or the feeling
that would creep into her heart, but
she lcnenv it would tave been a
more perfect birthday for if Tansy
had not been there, She had. no
thought but of kindness to a forlorn
young eti;anger. She told herself,
Chat she was a horrid girl to natud,
There was no trace or jealousy in
her mind'. She and Ralph were
plighted lovers and Tausy was a
stranger.
Burt, girl -like, she lnnged for those
stolen moments which are dear to
the most conventional of lovers,
and Tansy being there made it
much, less easy to snatch them.
'Somehow dinner passed and
Dora had not had the few mlantes
alone with Ralph that she would
have found so sweet,
The cldinl of the guest had to be
unntidereal, and Dora .was much too
shy to make an opportunity for her-
self,

It Waslate when. Ralph escorted
Tansy back to The Laurels.

together, and missed the' good night
she wished for. But she acceptedd
the situation as inev'table.

every kindness to a girl so friend.

Ralph and Tansy walked to-
gether along the still suburban
street, and the girl said—
'"Its been lovely—I haven't en-
joyed myself so mulch since I eves a,
little girl; '
"I'nl se glad," returned Ralph
'The Sheldon's house is such a
home, Isn't It?" she went on wist-
fully. 'It must be lovely to have a
real home ]tike that."
"Yes', it's something to be thank-
ful for;' he agreed.
"1 don't know where I shall be
going now," Tansy said,
'But you are going back to New•
castle adiiter yur holidays, aren't
you?' 'he said,
"No," she answered. "I'ni not
going back, they—they don't waut
me any more. I've to lok etit for

He was overwhelmed by the reve-
lation of her posit`on, Alone, with

He stood as' if spellbound, gazing
after her and as she vanished he

Good heavens, what a fool he had
been! What a cad!

silence, he had held her; he lied felt

Careful lighting, low and to one side, gives this "character portrait" ito

the light strikes it?
It may seem foolish and extrava-

ever took.
Try ft on this theory: that the ob-
jects in a picture have no real in-
terest In themselves but that all the
interest Is in the way they are
lighted --how the light strikes, how
shadows are cast. Or, in the words
of a great French photographer, that
the subject is nothing, the lighting
is everything.
Take, a photoflood lamp in a re-
flector and arrange a number of
small objects ---say some Pratt spill-
ing from a bowl—on. a Willie table

Now get up your camera firmly
