"I Have i --desire to keep -it as a-

"As you will, monsieur," replied

not until the coach had swung out of

it not been for two cool hands that

A •tremulous,.. husky voice sounded
in his ears:

Receives a Visitor
VIy Lord. came sighing back to life.
He opened his eyes wearily, and turn-
ed his head. A faint feeling of sur -
.prise . stole over him. He was. in a
room he had never been in before,
and by, -the window, busy with some
needlework, sat a little old lady who
was somehow vaguely familiar.
"Who -are -you?" he asked, and
was annoyed to -find his voice so
weak. -
The little lady jumped, and came
across to him.
"Fraise be to God!" she ejaculated.
"Likewise, bless the boy! The fever
is passed." She laid a thin hand on
his brow, and smiled down into his
wondering eyes,
"As cool as a cucumber, dear boy.
What a mercy!" '
It was a long time since anyone
had called Jack dear, or boy. He re-
turned the ,smile feebly and closed
his eyes.
"I -do not -under tand-anything,"
he murmured drowsily.
"Never trouble your head then. Just
go to sleep." '
He considered this gravely for a
moment. It seemed sensible enough'
and he was so very, very tired. He
shut his eyes with a little sigh. -
* * . *-
When he awoke, again it was morn-
ing of the hext day, and the sun
streamed in the window, making him
blink.
Someone rushed forward, and he
saw it was the lady who had called
him dear and' bidden him go to sleep.
. He smiled and -a very thin hand
came out of the bedclothes.
"But wlio are you?" he demanded
a little querulously.. - •-
!Miss'•'Betty patted his hand gently.

that? I am Di's Aunt Betty -though

Remembrance was coming back to
my lord.
"Why -why -you are the lady in

"Well, I know nought of Tracy, but
I'm the lady in the coach."

"That was Diana Beauleigh, my

PICTURING INTERIORS
Interiors are not difficult to take. Why -not make 'a picture of your soli
dier's favorite lounging spot and have an extra print made to send along
. to him.
AMATEURS are doing an excel-
lent job of keeping those in the
Service supplied with snapshots
from home. Most of these pictures,
bowever, are snaps of the family,
relatives or friends. That is • fine.
But the boys and girls also like to
receive' pictures that show them the
homes themselves=where they
lived - before going into the Ser-
vice. To complete the story, then,
you should take some shots of hothe
interiors.'
Under ordinary conditions flood
or flash . lamps would be used for
illumination in , taking pictures of
home interiors but, as it is quite
difficult to buy these lamps, due to
their scarcity, you can use another'
method.
Without the aid of flash or flood
lamps it is better to rely entirely
upon daylight coming through the
windows, and supplement it where
necessary With a reflector. Y! or in -
'stance, !f a room has a rather dark
corner, yon can usually • .brighten
the corner by having someone stand
Just outside the camera range and
hold a large white cloth, or piece;' of
cardboard, so that it thro*'s the
light in that direction. -"Or, better:;
stili, you might use a 130 -watt or
200 -Watt honielype light in an in-
expensive reflector or..`bridge 'lathy.'

Service. So, as far as pdddssible leave
the furniture in its usual place. You

Picture you snap.
Whenever possible ,leaveenough
