"THE INTRUDER„ By Allan Rhodes SYNOPSIS Dora Sheldvn is engaged 10 R.atph Ransom, a young bank clerk she has known for only a. short time. At their engagement dinner an unexpected visitor Tansy Clare, whe claims to be a niece of the former oeeu.pallt of the house, arrivee. The Sheldon'e' take her to as she has no place else to go. Ralph is much attracted by Tansy. IIe takes her to board with hie landlletly until she hears from her aunt.' Tansy le not a governess' as she el lima, but a chorus girl out of a joh. illy 'mane to have Ralph fall in lave with her ant seems to be lic- e, :ep' :slug her purpose, "No, 1 don't suppose it \vita" agreed Dora.

Her father had left everything to his widow, and their daughter had to account for every penny of her allowance- Many a little typist or shop girl knew mere of the joy of spending than she and many like her. Ogg, "Do you see much of Tansy ('lure?" she asked, "alother asks for her over about once a week," said Dora. "Anti I go to her sometimes, and take her out to lunch or tea. She is always so grateful, and it's so little one can do," "I know you'll think me hateful Dora," said Mabel. 'But I can't help the feeling I don't trust Tansy Clare." "Not trust her?" repeated Dora, witle.eyed . "No; and I wish you wouldn't" returned Mabel. •CHILDREN of all ages thrive on ".CROW N BRAND" CORN SYRUP.

I've the seeping that if you make too much of that girl you'll be sorry for it," Dora was puzzled, till suddenly sae thought she held a clue, She knew that Mabel waS very road of her and perhaps a little jealous feeling was at the row: of the warning. Se she was especially affectionate to 'Mabel in order to heal any wound she might: have unconscious- ly inflicted and she tried to Put the, remembrance of the warning from her, ;7 F. "Is Ralph coming ronud to -night," Alabel asked as she was preparing to leave. "No," Dora answered, "Re was going to take me out, but mother fe so poorly I felt I must be at home. 1 twee he wall go out somewhere." "Aunt Alice doesn't seem well," agreed Mabel, "But it's only a bad cold, couldn't Marjorie have stayed with her?" "Marjoele is going to a Party," said Dora. "And, besides', mother wants' me, and 1 shan't be able Lc be with her so much later on," 'No," said Mabel, "1 suppose you'll be married soon." "We haven't settled anything yet; ' Dora answered, "Father wants 12,akph to buy a house near here, and I think i4 would be a good. Investment, don't you? Only, of course, it may be some time before we see one to snit 05." Her face was full of happiness as she talked of the future, and Mabel kissed her, "Ralph's a leaky man,' said Mabel. "I wish I hadn't to burry away, Dora, but we have got to meet Uncle James' and. Minnie at seven, and I must go home and help mother get dressed." Dora could: not help some wise ful thoughts as she settled down to a long evening in her mother's comfortable bedroom, :.tins. Sheldon, who was rosily a robust woman, always 'ncade the meet of ber slight ailments and Dora was a dutiful daughter, But Ralph was disappointed as well as herself, and she was beginning to realise a divided duty. Ia fact, Ralph was a little out of Patience with Dora that particular evening, IIe had carefully planned a dinner and a theatre and honked good seats, and in the morninr not telling him that Dora could nma leave her mother, who had a cold, He could get the seats ch'tnge.d for another evening, but he was just in the humour for an inning that night, and he was left as. a loose end, It was a line night, Tbere were stars overhead es he walked to th^ bus', feeling very disinclined to re- turn to The.

Her little plan had eueceeded be- Yancl her hopes, The most she had expected had been a 'bus ride with Ralph back to Ncrdenhaui, Ralph did not stop to think, instead of the long, blank wintry evening, he saw the beckoning lights of the western streets, and the'bright eyes of a pretty girl, Tansy laughed gleefully, as he took her arm and hurried her ateros1 the road.

It is the unusual that attracts at- tention but it is necessary to use your eyes and a little imagination and ingenuity to ferret out the ex- ceptional and get pictures that show individuall ty. 'When making mirror pictures and focusing for reflected images only, It is necessary to add the distance from the mirror to the subject, to the distance from the mirror to the lens of the camera and then set the focus accordingly. If Itis desired to Include the sub- ject in the picture with the reflected Image the focus should be set for the distance from the mirror to the lens. The smaller the lens opening the greater the depth of field and the sharper will be both images. Of course, the nearer the subject is to the mlrrct' the less is required in the matter of "depth". Let tie suppose that sister Mary Is two feet and 1110 camera six feet from the mirror. It you want 'to iu- chtde sister, as well as her reflected image, in the picture, set the focus at six feet, If you want only the re- flected image in the picture, you set the focus at eight fent A photoflash lamp,s!mpllfles yotn' exposure emb- lem and permits a small enough lens opening to gain a sufficient range of sharpness, After locating your subject in the tinder and setting the foots of your camera at the proper distance, set 1110 shutter for "time", place a photoflash bulb in an ordinary floor lamp within rea0hing distance from the camera, tilting the shade slightly npwartl and toward the subject, if you cannot tilt the shade, remove it temp.
