The St. Bernard doge were kept in Berne until they.wero nearly grown,. because the intense cold of the pass was too severe for them, when young. Carl had known from the first that as soon as Barry was old enough he must go to the good fathers at the pass, but when one is only ten, "old enough" is a long way off, and when Barry was sent for, Carl was heart- broken. "Will you surely write me every year and tell ins if Barry is well," he said with eyes brimful of tears to the young monk who had come for the dog "But, Carl," said the boy's father "you must not forget that the good monks have much to do and many dives to save." "But Barry has a life, too," the boy pleaded. "I promise you," the young monk aad gravely. "And when I am grown up, will you let me come to the Hospice and help Barry to save people in the storm?" "If you still wish it when the time comes, I do not doubt that there will be a place for you," said the monk, looking tenderly into the boy's earnest face. "Pll surely come, Barry," whisper- ed Carl with his arms around the dog's neck, Barry licked his cheek, then followed the monk, stranger as he was. "Barry knows he, is going to his work," said the schoolmaster. Suddenly the dog stood still, then turned back, put his paws on the, boy's shoulders, licked his cheek once more and set off for the fierce strug-I gle with the cold and the snow and the tempests of the upper mountains. `est and cheapest way of going from But. when the monk and his dogs' one country to another.

It is a fairly general idea also, that for such settings the producer has eitlier to take hist company to the act - eta spots wlloro the "real thing" Is al'allable or have rept-0uet1one of the originals built to size on the audio lot. Occasionally, of course, one of these assumptions.may be right.' Iiul very often A good part of stile mag. niticent and sulid•looking building seen an tete screen is nothing more than a clever painting on a pane of glass about six feet spuare. Painted on Glass. Por instance, ail Interior sats, such as lIving•rconls, halls, ball•noomel and. the like, are constructed of three sides only, and without ceilings, The fourth side Is left open for the camera, which "cuts" just beneath the ceiling line, Now, It is desired to photograph a non-existent ceiling. The llrst step is to fix the camera securely In position, and then place, a few feet In front of the lens, a pane of glass about six feet square. Looking through the glass now, everything above and beyond the walls of the set, such as platforms, lights, and other Wings, can beplainly seen. These, however, must be hidden by a ceiling, and so one is skillfully .intent - ed on the side of the glass nearest to the camera. Not only must the ceiling match the three walls, but,'wheu view- ed from the position of the camera,' the corners of the walls and the ear- ners of the ceiling must be In perfect alignment. When the photograph Is taken with the painted glass In this position it is impossible for an unprac- tised eye to tell that the room really had no ceiling at all. A Forest In an Hour. The same principle is employed for getting exterior scenic effects. A large building, instead of being built to its full height, may he constructed up to the first story only. From this point a glass painting will, be used to complete the illusion, thus saving an enormous amount in time, labor, and money. In 'Robin Hood," for example, a good deal' of glass work was used, though several huge sets were actual- ly constructed: Many of the towers, turrets, and battlements were painted on glass, but the work so skillfully matched the rest of the act that it was impossible to distinguish the paintings from some of the towers that had really been constructed, In another recent picture, showing the Cathedral of Notre -Dame, Paris, only the three front doors of the fa- mous cathedral were construe -tel on the company's studio bot In Califorata, A inin1ature glass painting in front 01 the camera completed the rest of the building, Class work else enables a whole range of snow-capped mountains, lakes or forests to be produced in a few hours by scenic artists. Look at the saving in time and money, Don's Be Too Sure. The work, ut metro. !s by no means easy, and calls for a considerable amount of skill and technical know- ledge. The illusion must he perfect in every way, otherwise there is al• ways the possibility that some cute Youngster in tho front row in the theatre may detect discrepancies. In conclusion, a word of caution Is necessary to those who, after reading the above, may think that they can tell which parts of a film set are "glass work," The roof of a building may be thought to he just a painting till some- one appearing on the tap' of it proves the supposition wrong. Or a kinase may look solid enough because a man is seen crawling in through a window. But Only the man and the window• ledge may be real, and the rest a "Painted in" scene, solid though it ap- pears. For, even when we know that much in the movies is clever illusion, there is very little hope of the movies being able to "spot" with any certainty. where the trick begins!
