Mary broke tree from him and
backed away to door of the room
which had been left wide open after
his entry.
Her blue eye.; were bright and
hard, and her mouth was twitching;
she was seeing him as she had
never seen him befure.
Well, he had expected she would
take it pretty. badly.
Suddenly she remembered Dicky
upstairs in his t'ny bed, and with a
swift, piteous cry she flew upstairs
to her baby. Dicky was the one
scrap that remained out of the
wreck unchanged, hers.
Upstairs! -
Dick shrugged bis shoulders and
sat down wearily, feeling very
sorry for himself—sorry he had
ever married at all!
Why a man would marry when he
could have freedom was a mystery
o f �'he ages. The weakness that
was part of the real character of
Richard Terrill had come back to
B ien and the bard set of his mouth
took on a 'b'itter twist,
Romance was the trap of 1t', only
the romance die not last. When
that bait was gone there was only
the bars to shat a man in from his
freedom, If Mary had been differ-
ent, say, lake Lianoe du Marvel
There was _«mance there enough
to last the years. He sighed. He
had been a fool! Digging over the
back garden when Life had called!
He thought that Mary, upstairs,
must, be putting him down far a
pretty blackguard, but there wasn't
anything in That affair with Liane
du Marve really; it hadn't got
as far 08 that yet, but if ha were
free—
It was only that he was fed up,
bad been fed up for long enough
now --and was to chains.
That was how it seemed to
Richard Terrill then,
He bad hated hurting Mary and
had put off doing so because she
had been a good elite as wives go,
but he bad felt sbe ought to know.
And any1way, better a painful scene
»ow than a lifetime of failure and
frustration with the internal obains
of married life!
Mary had ;laid he could go, which
allowed how 1n'r ai she cared, Well
the morning would tell. If she
.were of the same mind tben Would
be proof enough that she didn't care
if she. were resely to break all bonds
between them.
Most certainly she did not care,
her love had failed him,
He began to tee] quite sorry for
hdmsellf, and forgot to be sorry for
her.
And he had imagined it next to
Impossible—this getting of freedom.

'"Mumanie, you crying.''
"No, pet" Mary's voice was
broken, and stefeeleig• "Pin—

I'm laughing at you, Dicky dear,
You looked so funny asleep. It
made me laugh, you know,"
And she did try to laugh, blinking
at those tears, and choking back the
sobs.
She had dropped on her knees be-
side Dick's bed, huddled there in
abandon; and Dicky had awakened
sleepily to her presence,
She was beadirg over him now,
making that fine pretence that she
' was tucking him up.
He reached up ails baby hands
to caress her cheeks, and there
was light enough in the room for
her to see every sweet line and
curve of his face. Her baby with
Dick's dark brown eyes,
"Its a wet laugh," he said solemn-
ly. """Just like. you was crying,"
His chubby fingers were damp
with her tears.
Mary took the baby bands in hers
and pressed them passionatley to
her lips, gulping down the storm of
sobbing that tbreatned to break
through.
'You—love .me, don't you, Dicky?'
she said, in a broken gen,
"'And daddy," he assurea her.
That did break her down so sbe

DECORATIVE SILHOUETTES rl�
f's
>rieele ilitri.tvi ,,•e.,

Since the puppy is likely to move, a photographic flash bulb, which elves
an Instantaneous flash of light, was used In making this silhouette.
PHOTOGRAPHIC silhouettes are
a source of decorative pictures
—and camera fun—which every
snapshooter should try. The arrange-
ments are simple—a white sheet
stretched over a doorway, or divi-
sion between two rooms, with a
strong light behind it and the cam-
era set up in front.
By arranging his subjects in front
of this brightly illuminated sheet,
the clever photographer can ewe
street any number of imaginative
or story -telling pictures. Costume
snaps are particularly interesting in
silhouette, and there are possibili-
ties for many humorous pictures of
the "it-cau't-be" variety,
For instance, a juggler can be pic-
tured keeping a dozen or two balls or
bottles in the air at one time, or a
camper can be pictured with two
skillets, flipping a dozen flapjacks
at one shot. In both these pictures,
the objects to appear in the air
would be cut from black paper or
cardboard and pinned to the sheet
at proper points.
Tho sheet must be stretched
evenly, as wrinkles will show in the
pictures. I ighreng behind the sheet
should also be as even as possible.
Five feat is a suitable distance from
lamps to sheet.
Three sixty -watt inside -frosted elec-
tric bulbs w111 provide enough light
to give good results with five -second
time exposures, using a box camera
with its lens at widest opening, or
other cameras at lens stop 1,11. To
stop movement when pets or small
children are appearing in silhouette,
use a flash bulb behind the sheet. Or,
with two or three large size flood
bulbs snapshots can be taken.
Wizen tieing the flesh bulb, some-
one can flash it at the correct mo-
ment at an "okay" signal from the
person operating the camera. There
should be sufficient light, from un-
shaded regular household bulbs, be-
hind the sheet for the "cameraman"
to see the silhouetted images and
to know when to give his "okay"
signal.
When the silhouette Is snapped,
of course, all lights must be turned
off in the room which contains the
camera and subject. Unless this is
done, detail in the subject w111 show,
spoiling the silhouette effect. The
photographer should also be watch-
ful of stray light from windows, and
mirrors which might catch ligbt
from the illuminated sheet and
throw 1t toward the shadow side of
the subject.
