CHAPTER SEVEN -
Meanwhile, Dian and Bill had al-
ready reached the house.
"It looks as though I were going
to have to accept your hospitality for•
the duration," Bill laughed. "Any-
way, until I can telephone for some-
one to cme out and get my car."
"And that," said 'Dian, "is going to
be difficult --since there's no tele-
phone." She smiled. "And I'm ra-
ther glad. Thunderstorms make me
nervous, 'and it'll be pleasant having
osu pang . . So, welcome ' to
'Plum -nearly'!"
"Where on earth did you ever find
such a name for a place?". Bill want-
ed to know.
-"Grandfather called it that," Dian
replied. "It's plum in the country,"
he used' to say, 'but nearly in town!' "
She crossed to a smalltable where
sat a kerosene oil lamp, "Just a mo-
ment and I'll have a light. 'There's no
electricity, but •I always keep • the
lamps filled and trimmed." ' •
"Wise little virgin!" said • Bill.
"Show me where the other lamps are
kept and I'll light up a couple more."
"There's a row of them on the shelf
shadows inside, rain and thunder • out-
side. The whole business struck him
as being oddly unreal -like something
in a • 'half -formed dream. William
James Rollins in an ancient farm-
house, alone with a girl whom he had
not known existed 'a few hours before.
Something that had really happened
-all these things that had happened
to him in so short a time -and yet
seeming fictitious -dreamlike.
"Are you really planning to live
here all alone?". he asked Dian. •
"I'm not sure," said Dian. She
glanced up at a large portrait hanging
over the mantel. "Grandfather would
admireme' if I did stay here alone.
He liked bravery in women as well
as in men."
"Is that him -up there?"
"Fine-looking old' gentleman."
"And fine too," said Dian. "His life
was a sort of frustration, though -
maybe that's why I'm so . drawn to
him. I . mean, he had the heart and
the hands of an artist, and was forc-
ed to he a plantation owner and man-
ager, from necessity. This place -
which used to be much larger; that
is, the land part of it -was for him
a white elephant and millstone about
his neck, combined. He used to paint
whenever he could -having made the
attic his studio, and-"
"You mean lie actually had a'stu-
dio!" said Bill.
"Yes. He had a north light put in,
and worked up' there." Dian' sighed.
"Poor darling, folks called him 'queer'
and had no 'sympathy for his longing
to be an artist."
"That gives us something , in com-
mon," said Bill. "Your grandfather
and me."
"How do you mean?" Dian wanted
to know.
"My folks had no sympathy for me,
either," said Bill'. "They wanted me
t8 be a lawyer. But when I was .fin-
ally left alone in the world, I went
at 'art' with all I had." He studied
"Von doti't seem like a girl who wants to get out of things." •
there • in the stair closet," Dian told
him. "Under the stairs, you know."
She held up the lighted 'lamp so that
Bill could -find his way. "I think the
pleasantest place to settle down for
the duration -'as you call itis the
big living room over there , to the
right."
When Hill had two other lamps.
lighted, he followed Dian into the
room indicated. He stood looking a-
round. (him, pleased with what he saw.
"Say!" he exclaimed. "This IS a
charming place! So mellow, and -
and lived in,"
"I love it," said - Dian. ' She told Bill
where to place - his lamps, and • sat
down the one she carried herself.
"I've kept hoping . I could get some-
thing out of Grandfather's books and
Paintings, and maybe some of the
furniture, so I could pay up back tax-
es and things, and make the house
more livable."
"And then what?" Bill asked.
"Then I'd come here to live - and
•let the busy World go by."
Bill looked a•t , her.. "You don't
seem like a girl who wants to get
but of things," he. said. -"I mean -
run away for good."
"Maybe I'm not," said Dian. "May-
be I'm just Mixed up because of the
jilting . . . Macy. I have 'a e1garette?"
Bill took out iris ease. lid lit a
cigarette for Dian-, and one for him-
self. 'Then he again looked around

the eyes of an artist -noting the

Grandfather Weston's picture. "I'm
certainly eager to see that studio of
your grandfather's, and his paintings."
"I'm eager for you to see them,".
said Dian. "Shall we go up now?"
"The light's pretty bad for looking
at paintings," said Bill- "But maybe
we'd better -go-since I'll probably
not be around Ardendale much long-
er." • ' .
"Oh," said Dian, "your, coffee and
food! I forgot.. Suppose we have
them first. Bring my suitcase out in-
to the kitchen, will you? There's
bread in it. I'll make some toast, and
open a jar of juin."
"Fine!" said `bill. "You fairly make
my mouth water." He went out for the suitcase, and
just as he stooped to pick it up,
there was the sound of a dull thud
out upon the front porch. He and
Dian both heard it.
"What was that?" ,Dian called in a
stage whisper.
"Maybe it's • your Aunt Martha,"
said Bill.
"Oh, Lord," said Dian, "I hope not"
There was another dull thud, and
then the sound of voices, one femin-
ine, one masculine.
"Of all the stupid things!" said the
feminine voice.
• "Well, I'm sorry," said the mascu-
line voice, "Anyway; we've found
shelter." • •
'Asking a girl td elope with you,"
the feminine voice went on, "and then
getting the car sttiek in the mad."
"Good heavens," said the mason -
line Vol* "you talk talk as though I'd,
douo. It ,otk, pUtpntee, kioted
the short cut, and so-"
"And so it's my fault!" "Listen, darling, I said I was sor-
ry. But after all, I can't control the
weather." •
"And just look at' my shoes!
They're ruined, simply and utterly
ruined."
"Never mind, when we get to New
York I'll buy you dozens of pairs of
shoes."
"You mean IF we get to New
York."
"No- darling -
"So far we've only, landed, wet and.
muddy, on- the porch of a godforsak-
en farmhouse."
"It's •: a shelter, and that's some-
thing tp be grateful for."
Footsteps, shoes being scraped. And
the masculine voice speaking again,
"Try to kec.p a stiff upper lip, da.r-
Png," it said. ••'There may be wea-
ther like this occasionally in the
West Indies. This'll give you some
preparatory training."
"I don't waut to be trained to live,
in downpours," said the feminine
voice. "I'm a wreck - simply a
wreck."
"Be a good sport, darling - for-
get your looks for a Moment." -
"Well, even if I' could forget my
own looks, I couldn't forget yours.
You look a-a=mess."
CHAPTER EIGHT
Inside the house Dian stared at Bill
and Bill stared right back at her.
"Claire!" said Bill.
"Paul Peters!" said Dian.
"Eloping!" they said in unison.
"Suddenly Dian- ran out into the
hall. She flung owl., the front door.
"Come right in!" she called. "You
are just in time. for some bridge!."
Claire and Paul jumpedand then
stared. Then they 3valked inside.
"Fancy finding you here!" 'said
Claire.
"After all, it's my house, you
know," said Dian. She led them into
the living room. "Claire, I think you
know 'this gentleman," she said, nod-
ding toward Bill.
"Oh!" said Claire, her eyes wide
with astonishment.
"Fancy finding HIM here," said
Dian, actually enjoying herself.
Paul Peters stepped forward. He
took a good look at Bill, and then
glared.
"Claire," he , demanded, `ho's this
man?"
Before Claire could reply, Bill
spoke up. -'I'm the man she didn't
elope with!" he said.
It took Claim some" time to •_ t
hold of herself and handle what ` s,e e
felt was indeed an awkward situa-
tion.
"This is Mr. Rollins, Paul,"- she
said. "I told you about him. Don't
you-er-remember?"
"Yes, I •remengber," said •PauL "But
you gave me the impression he had
left for New York."
' "I thought he was on his way," Said
Claire.
"And I was," said Bill. "But I got
stopped by a shoe,"
"A shoe?" said Claire. "What on
earth do you mean?"
-"It Was my shoe," said Dian. "I
threw it.'•'• '
"You?" 'Claire said, eyeing Dian -
with a peculiar expression.
"Yes, Dian," said Bill. `}here it
is -HER shoe." He 'took it from the
pocket of his coat. "Cute -eh?" -
"Well!" said 'Claire explosively.
"A damsel was in' distress," Bill
went on, "and we Rollinses , never.
could resist going to a rescue."
"Adventure -arid all that," said -
Dian. She smiled at Bill, grateful to
him for carrying matters off in such
a charming and amusing way. "And
I thought it only happened in books
and plays."
"I must say," - Claire remarked,
"that you didn't lose much time after
hearing about Fred Mayhew."
"`Oh, that!" said Dian airily.
'_"Yes, . that."
"Just one of those things, Claire -
you know, here today and gone to-
morrow, if you know what'I mean."
"Well, I don't. All I know, isthat
you and Fred Mayhew have been talk-
ing about marrying ever since I can
remember."
"Just` a lot of talk - that's . all.
Propinquity." -.
"Propinquity -my eye!"
"Anyway," Dian went on, "I was
never One to let the grass grow un-
der my feet. So when Bill drove past
my 'house, and I saw haw handsome
he was, I simply couldn't resist stop-
ping him." .
`,With THIS," said Bill, again hold-
ing up the' shoe.
"For heaven's sake," Claire said,
"put that thing away.".
"Besides," said Dian, "Bill needed
comforting. Didn't you, Bill?"
"I certainly did," said Bill. He
shook his head sadly. "Don't forget
that tragic scene you and I enacted
upon your nloonlit front porch."
"Bill - you poor darling!" said
Claire.
"I came hurrying up -Tour walk to
claim my bride," Bill went on, "my

something ,different. ' I've been call-
ed lots of things, but never that."
Bill and Dian smiled at each other.
It was almost as though they shared
some wonderful secret.
"Dian was swell to me," Bill con-
tinued. "It was a sort of case of -
of -misery loving ,pompany."
"Or when jilt meets jilt," said .Dian.
Claire looked from one of them to
the other. .
"Are you two: serious?" she. de-
manded. ..��,,

"Paul Peters!" Dian exclaimed.
"What an awful thing to say! One
doesn't kid a broken heart."
"Darned if you Took or act like a
broken-hearted girl to me."
"It just goes to show," said Bill
sadly.
"To show' what?" said Claire.
"Oh, it's hard to explain," Bill re-
plied: "Only, so few people under-
stand what emotional upheavals the
other people are going through. You
agree with me, don't you,. Dian?"
"I certainly do."
- "You would," said Claire. "I'm dy-
ing for a cigarette, if either of you
men can Spare one."
Paul and Bill each reached for his
cigarette case.
"My pleasure," said Bill. "I. beat
•t;'ou to it, Peterd." •
He lit Claire's cigarette for her:
. "Thanks," she said. She drew deep-
ly and blew • a smoke ring ceiling -

are! Now what?"
"That's what.. I'd like to know," said
Paul.
"Oh, Bill, I forgot!" Dian cried sud-
denly. "I ' was going- to give you
some food."
"You mean you're hungry?" Claire
asked, • shocked.
"Yes, Claire," said.Bill, "I am."
"Imagine!" Claire was frankly an-
noyed. "Hungry -and calling each
other by your first names -you and Di-
an. How perfectly ducky."
"Yes, isn't it?" said Dian. "But
you'd hardly expect •me to call Bill
'Mister Rollins' after' I'd gone so far
as to throw my shoe at him."
"I suppose not," said Claire. "And

Do you keep -a photographic notebook -?,It's the•easiest way torememtier'
the facts about your snapshots, andto assure good results .in the future.
THE most valuable thing in the
world, it issaid, is experience._
But the question is, how can we
profit from this . experience? Shall
we rely on memory alone? Photo-
graphically that isn't a very wise
plan. It's much better to rely on a
photographic notebook -one which,
for ready reference, contains the
essential facts about each negative.
These should include: lens aperture
used; shutter speed; type of film;
filter, if any; general light condi-
tions; time of day and location.
If you're taking pictures indoors,
jot down such data as the number
of lights used, distance of each light
from the subject, and exposure. You
might, if you wish, include a rough
lighting diagram.
Those facts, if you study them. in
relation to your results, will be' ex-
tremely -valuable. For permanent •'
reference number your negative file
to correspond to pages .in'your pho-
tographic notebook, and by all means
take time to study your prints in
relation to the written. facts. 'Ask
yourself, "Is this picture satisfac-
tpry?" If so, "Why?". If not, "Why
not?„
That's the quickest way to under-
stand why your best pictures -like
the picture serving as our illustra-
tion -are really good.'Furthermore,
you won't be ' letting your hard
earned experience go to waste. You'll
be conserving and using it wisely.
