Persistence through his brain- as he flung on some clothes and raced up on deck, His• one thought was for Mavis. To reach her somehow, to find her, to save her if he could, but in any case to find her! She might stili be below, or she might be battling for 'life in the maddened crowd and a prayer rose to his lips. Thanks to the officers and crew and some of the male passengers more than half of those on hoard were in the life -boats, and among thoe'e who were waiting to be taken off 'the panic was abating. A moment later he stumbled into a smoke -blackened, ,panting man carrying a limp form, and with a sob or relief recognised' Trevenna, who halted. "Mavis,'' cried Jack, hoarsely, "where is she," "She iv safe,'' Trevenna broke in. "All the women and children are off, and she and Nancy were in the first boat. But there isn't much time to be last If the, rest are to be saved. The ship's doomed." Jack nodded, them, followed, Tre- venna as he staggered forward'. For fifteen, minutes they worked desper- ately side by side. The captain was knocked down in the final rush, and was swung down by Trevenna into the wiilig arras uplifted to receive him; then at the last moment Jack Damer stumbled and fell, striking his bead with sickening force. As Trevenna bent over him two weak hands) clutched desperately at his arm, and turning, he found himself staring down into Hiram Goldening's terrified, face. He had been roused teal 11 01117 stupor when panic' bad almost reached its height and nearly all the boats were gone, and, dazed i with terror, had fought his way here. He stood now 'with cbatterin'g teeth and terror -filled eyes, clinging frantically to Trevenna's arm, and at the same moment from the boat there came a ytifled cry— "Only room for one more. Be quick." Only room for one more—and there were three living men left aboard the doomed ship Who was that one to be! For whom was to be life and, whom death? Again the desire 'to live came to Trevenna, he had as much right to live as either of the others, Why should he not cling to the right? And there came to him the thought of Marise— Maris'e, wham 'he loved, and who loved Jack Darner, He drew a hard, sharp breath, and algin the cry came ringing from, be- low— "One more! If you are coming, for God's sake be quick!" With a shriek of terror Goldening !prang forward; but Trevenna flung him aside, and, stooping, lifted Dormer's limp body with a mighty effort, Marise loved hint! That was the one thought in his mind. Then, as eager hands reached up to receive him, as the boat pushed hastily away, Trevenna turned' to find. Goldening about to hurl 'him- self on him, screaming hoarsely for the boat to come back. "There was only room for one," he said', holding back the 'struggling man with his strong hands.

It was of her sister that Mavis now thought, and it brought a smile to her lips as She did so. And for her—for Mavis—at last the 'winding pathway of her life had become straight, smooth and rose - strewn, stretching away into the future that 'held promise of infinite joy. For her the bitterness and the pain she had known had passed at last, and though both had left their traces on her sweet face, they be- longed to the past.

The life of this little child may depend on the PROMPT ACTION of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Centralized here under one roof is every facility known to medical science for the effective prevention and cure of childhood disease and deformity. More than 9.000 little children were treated here last year. ONE-THIRD of these children came from Ontario Municipalities outside the City of Toronto. Most of them were children of parents unable to pay the low Public Ward rates. But they were not denied any treatment or care that would assist in their recovery. This humane policy resulted in a deficit of $40,000 last year. We appeal to responsible, charitable Ontario citizens for donations to help us meet this deficit and for practical encourage- ment to continue and expand this work next year. Please ... the life of a little child may be saved because you were kind and benevolent today. Send your donation, large or small ... NOW.

Develop natural situations to get more interesting shots. IT'S tun to look for picture oppor- tunities — but it's more fun to create them. And many of the finest picture chances are created deliber- ately by the photographer. It you wait for things to arrange themselves for a picture, you're just trusting to luck, and you may have a long wait. But it you take a few steps to create a situation, you'll find it easier to get just the picture you want—when you want it. For example, look at the picture above. Is there any point in waiting for such a situation to occur natur- ally? Not a bit. It's much simpler to spill the milk right where you want it—place the kitten where you wish —and shoot. A kitten knows what to do When he's face to face with milk, There are many such occasions where a little arrangement is a big help, Use a bait to tempt a pet to the beet spot for a picture. Give the baby an amusing toy—or place an automatic music -box beside him— and he'll pose, completely unaware of the camera. Provide some action for an older child to carry out ---a doll to dress, a boolt to read, a model boat to work on. The action provides a theme or story which improVea the picture, In shooting outdoor scenes or landscape pictures, try having a friend stand In the foreground, look- ing at the tonne you plan to picture, Such a figure adds foreground Inter- est, and directs attention to ,the scene beyond. In picturing snow scenes, tramp out a path leading into, the scene where it will help the com- position of the picture. Such devices often add better pictorial quality to your shots. In taking action shote, don't trust. to chance. If possible, arrange with your subject to have the desired ac- tion take place at a chosen spot.. Then you can focus in advance, and, be all ready to shoot. For example. to get a good shot of a sled spill, arrange for Johnny to flip his sled over at a selected spot near the bot- tom of the hill. This idea also works., for many other sports—summer and: winter. Table - top photography Is of course outright creation—you build the subject completely before shoot- ing It. That's why "table -topping" is so much fun—It allows plenty of room for imagination and original- ity, Still-life pictures are also,n mat- ter of arrangement ... and your skill In composing the subject -(natter de- termines the quality of the picture. Never be a lazy photographer. Don't "let well enough alone." Ab 'ways try to improve the picture—or, get a first shot of the subject as it is, and then try to arrange a bettor one. That's the way the finest pia. tures ate made, 261 John van Guilder ri
