She had broken with the pant

work to do. Dick had gone out of

Dick Terrill was living his own
lite.
He ought to have been happy if
comlplete freedom can make a men
happy and his freedom was com-
plete ,"enough—if one excepted
Llano.
If Liane was a tie at all it was in
` the way in which she seemed to
' treat him as though She had a
I proprietory right. In his fife. And,
r coo, there was, the untorgetable
memory that it was his menthe of
Liane du Marve that had brought
' about the end of things with Mary,
When he remembered that he hated
1' Llano,
She was pretty enough, with her
fluny golden hair, her dark, passion.
' laden eyes, and her delicate seosu-
i ous form. She had seemed n very
nymph of romance, once, and ex-
quisitely fascinating:
She was in he lounge room of
his fiat, lying back in idle, tempting
grace on the couch, the top of her
silk -clad knee intended to be be-
witching, while Dick was occupying
his favvurlte position, his back lean-
rng against the mantelpiece, and he
ityas' regarding her with eyes which
were hard and bright,
She was Just the same, just as in-
toxicating—he supposed the word
should be --abut heaven alone knew
how it was he had once regarded
her as fascinating. There were
times when she moved him to irri-
tation that was uncontrollable. Mary
had never affected hien like that!
Dick had come to the conclusion
that there was weakness in his
character, but he had never been
able to decide whether it was weak•
mess or strength when, nearly ten
months ago, he had sat down to
write a letter to Mary telling her
what a cad he felt himself or
whether it was weakness or
strength which bad made him tear
the letter up in the recollection
that she could not really care! :clary
was merely a housewife after all!
1
That was on the morning he had
left her, coming straight to this flat,
and hls empty heritage of freedom.
He, too, had worked since then,
climbing higher in the esteem of his
firm. Id was the only thing to Bo—
the only (panacea.
Incidentally, his, improved circum-
stances made him an even more de-
sirable "ca"tch" for Liane du Marve,
Being a dress designer, her life
was not really a satisfying prospect
for her, and she had fascinated
Dick Terrill—once!
It was through her he had left
his placid, stay-at-home Rife, and
that did give her a proprietory right
in him; Liane was sure of it, and if
she could not bring off "grounds for
divorce she was not so clever as
she thought she was.
He certainly was handsome and

successful, and, being still really
out of her reach, he was decidedly
interesting.

The question atonic _from her,
silvery topgt!ec1, and she laughed
Mcking her annus negligently so that
acme filmy drapery which had
eoyered id fell away, leaving 1ts
whiteness bare,,
"I was thinking," he said shortly,
"Of me "
'KM •my wife,' 'he answered. "I
was a fool when i left her, I can't
think what the devil I wanted that
I 'hadn't got,'"
'Osie!" ehe murmured, with a dxm
ling smile, 'You are not the sort
to the tied to a woman's apron
strings, Besides, she seems to
have forgat'ten you very comfortab-
ly, y Why don't cou take a chance,
Dick, now you have it "
"011, shut up!' he said savagely,
"You poor boy!" she creoued,
and sit down beside me—and 1'11
comfort you!"
Dick's eyes burned.
'1'11 stand, thanks,' he said, "1
suppose it was goodofyou, Lidue,
to come here but I wish you
hadn't!"
Liane thought she was being very
clever by masking her exaspera-
tion at that. She took refuge in
mookery,
suplpose, dear old boy," she
said, "you would much rather see a
little drudge with a working apron
on, her sleeves rolled up for house-
work, and her hair done iu an
atrocious fashion?" She paused to
flick away the drapery covering !hat
other arm.
She wasn't looking at his eyes or
she would hays seen them blaze,
She was gibing at Mary w,ho had
been the sweetness of all the earth
to him—until he had been a com-
plete fool!
"And, in any case," she purred --
and she was getting her revenge
this dime—"in all probability your
wife bas, consoled herself with an.
other man. Why don't you make
the hest of things, Dick? You've
ole!"
"Why the devil can't you—get
out " he said thickly. Tile words
burst from him, and had an electri-
cal effeot on Liane.
He had been irritable before but
never quite so furious as this. nor
so Insulting.
Liane rose to her feet', her dark
eyes suddenly vicious, She did
not bother to mask any exaspera-
Lion this time.
"You are a fool, Dick Terrill!"
she panted. "You :have a wife and
when you don't want her you gut

Diok's manners, like his nerves,
were frayed to the last edge.
"Leave me!" he said brutally,
and Liane went in a furious temper
which she regretted as soon as she
reached the night air.
If she had been really clever she
would have played her cards differ-
ently, and now she had lost her
ellance.
In the room where she had left
him, Dick's face was haggard, Mary
consoling herself with another man!
That wasn't Mary, anyway. There
lvasn't any other man, and there
couldn't be!

1t was the first time since the

Dick entered, but did sot attempt
to sit down, although Lydia did,
choosing a very easy chair for the
purpose,
t Actually she was quite prepared
, to take a certain amount of malic-

suffering.
"Any special reason?" she asked
softly.

actually thinking of ta•kldg Me boy

D01OTOGRAPHIC silhouettes are
a source of decorative pictures
—and camera fou—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 bah:nd it and the cam-
era set up in front.
By arranging his subjects in front
of this brightly lllaminated sheet,
the clever photographer can con-
struct any number of inlagivativo
or story -telling pictures, Costume
snaps are particularly interesting in
silhour.,tte, and there are possIbili.
ties for many humorous pictures of
the "it -can't -be" variety,
For instance, a juggler can be pic-
tured keeping a dozen or two balls or
bottles in the air at one tinge, or a
camper can he pictured with two
skillets, flipping a dozen flapjacks
at one shot. In both these pictures,
the objects to appearin the air
would be cut from black paper or
cardboard and pinned to the sheet
at proper points,
The sheet trust be stretched
evenly, as wrinkles will show in the
pictures. Lighting behind the sheet
should also be as even as possible.
Five feet is a suitable distance from
lamps to sheet,

was used in making this silhouette,
Tliree'sixty-watt Inside -frosted elec-
tric bulbs will provide enough light
to give good results with Iive-second
time exposures, using a box camera
with its lens at widest opening, or
other cameras at lens stop f.11. To
stop movement when pits or small
children are appearing In silhouette,
use a flash bulb behind the sheet, Or,
with two or three large size dont
bulbs snapshots can be token.

ment at an "okay" signal from the
person operating the ranerra. There
should be sul!ict,.ut light, from vet
shaded regular household bulbs, be-
hind the sheet for the "cameraman"
to sec 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 roots which contains tate
camera and subject, rimose this is
dolls, detail in the subject will show,
spoiling the silhouette et'foei. Tho
photographer should also he watch-

mirrors which might catch light
from the illuminated sheet and
throw it toward the shadow aide of
the subject,
