cry which had awaloened him from
unusually heavy sleep was clanging
With ,m,addoping. 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. "You
are not fit to live, Goldening, and I

Somewhere in Ontario, before this hour has ticked

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.

last week on how to eat the coan-
modity of wbloh they are such pro-
lific producers,
'Eat it raw," was 'the counsel giv-
en to members of the Nova Scotia
Economics As's'ociation, by Dr. H. B.
Atlee, Halifax physician.
Lots of Vitamins
"The trouble with our fish is vre
cook it," he continued. "We should
eat it raw." Ran' fish and a little
bread and butter would give us Iota
if vitamins'. You lose the real good
in fish by cooking it.
This province, endowed as it is
with an abundance of fish and ap-
pies, is capable of 'producing the
healthiest race in the world from a
dietetic standpoint."

CREATING PICTURE CHANCES
A "cre'tted" picture—the photographer spilled the milk, and the kitten did'
the rest. 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.
