Easy generosity that, while you continue to: love--Zen Transley !" Down by the river a spiral of smoke wound upwards from the Transley chimney, and even as Grant looked he saw an'automo- bile trailing dust about the shoul- der of his hill. It was Transley returning to his home. © Transley's wife had fortified her good resolutions behind an outburst of activity. But there were times when the craving to be quite alone, where| she could re-survey her life and| bask for'a moment in the luxury of old imaginings, became irres- istible. On such occasions she would follow the road that skirt- ed the cliffs of the river bank to a point where it turned in the basin of a now deserted quarry. The old. quarry lay on the edge of the hills like a cup from which a side had broken, and fallen into} _ the river which boiled in a green foam a hundred feet below. The only access to this cup was by the road, no longer frequented, which Zen had chosen for her solitary ranmbles.

Perhaps it was because of the position which she had taken, or her unconscious study of the sky that she caught no hint of the presence of a man at the point where the road entered the quar- ry. From an ambush of willow scrub he had seen her stop and survey the fields where Dennison Grant was at work, and had fol- lowed her stealthily down the trail which led to her trap. Now he had her. "How do, Zen?" he said, sud- denly stepping into the open. "Ain't you glad to see me?" The girl sprang to her feet and turned startled eyes toward the road--the only exit from this stone dungeon. "Who are you? want? Go away! you at all--" } The offensive smile broadened. "That is where I have the advan- tage of you, Mrs. Transley. 1 have changed, I admit, but you-- you are as beautiful as ever." "How dare you speak to me in such a way!' You have learned my name, it is true, but I do not know you at all. Now will you go, or must I call my husband to throw you into the river?" "That would be some shout, see- ing that your husband isn't at home, and hasn't been for two weeks. You see, I may, be a stranger, but I know some things. And even if he was at home, What do you I don't know call Dennison Grant?" The man had gradually advan- ced, but still kept himself well between Zen and her only avenue of escape. ; "Who are you?" she demanded "Why do you follow me n; just an! eSNAPSHOT CUIL PAINTING WITH LIGHT When lights strike from the same distance on either side the result ina photograph (left) is a balance that tends to "flatten" the subject. In the other picture, the light comes from the extreme left and the extreme right a little to the rear. The dramati KILLFUL photographers use light in place of the artist's brush. For with light they can cre- ate sharp contrasts, accents and shadows; undesirable features can be eliminated, played up. Above are two pictures showing how a subject may be "painted" by light. The figurine and the camera were kept in fixed positions; only the lights, two of them, were moved. And see what happened! The fiaf, uninteresting representation at the left is, at the right, transformed and enlivened. Form and features have been brought into relief in dramatic fashion. The pathos in the pose and expression have been brought out and an impression of mystery has been introduced. The picture now speaks and stimulates the imagina- tion to a much greater extent. For the amateur, there is a world of fun experimenting with light "painting." Figures like this, dolls, toy animals, tacles, mirrors, bottles, vases, in- deed any small objects that appeal to your fancy, singly or in group, _ Imay be used as subjects. The top of a table will serve as your "easel." A portrait attachment for the or- dinary camera is essential; because the pictures must be made at close range in order to give a large image.

With these movable lamps around the table you can bring light to bear on your sub- ject from any angle and vary the distance or elevation of one or the other to produce the light and shadow contrasts that you think will be most artistic or striking. Remember, that you have "every- thing under control" and can take time to study the effects of the lighting before you snap the camera With fixed-focus cameras having lenses, and the chrome type of film, make time ex- posures. With cameras having fast lenses (f.6.3 or faster) a shorter time exposure (% to 1/10 second) for the chrome type and 1/25 second for the supersensitive type, should produce good results. Of course, much depends on the yol- ume of the light, the number of lights used and their distances from the subject. Incidentally, it is not a spot light. It is only necessary to use a large card- a 2-inch hole has been cut, and hold it between a light and the subject during the exposure. the room dark, a spot light gives strong, sharp shad- ows, and if your subject lends itself to such contrast, dramatic effects JOHN VAN GUILDER. your subject.

"Oh, I drifted ashore. Can't kill George Drazk. I was pretty full of water, and I lay on the bank for quite a while, but I came a- round in time. Then I seen what happened about the fire, and I reckoned this was a good time to make my getaway. So I beat it right out o' the country and no- body bothered followin'."

So I stayed on and had some pretty good jobs and some pretty nice girls, Zen, but I never quite got you out of my head and I kept sayin' to myself, 'Some- time I'll goback and make it up with Zen.

"Oh, you're innocent, ain't you, Zen? What about Grant? That's a good one. Your husband would enjoy that!" "If you're going to talk to me like that, we can't be friends, Mr. Drazk." (Still no sign of help.) "My friends musn't think evil of me. Drazk laughed. "They say a friend is one who knows all about good saute Hasn't been around so often late-'but her efforts were puny ly.

MAKING UP A SHOPPING LIST The hall needs a new rug. More towels are needed for the bathioom, and the kitchen floor could certainly stand a coat of paint. The children need shoes. The car will soon need tires. Well, we buy a hundred new things every year. Scattered throughout Canada are manufacturers who make the very things we need. Their products are on sale in certain stores within easy reach. ,Certain of these products, aad certain of these stores, are espe- cially fitted to take care of our special need. But which products and which stores? Which can we afford, and which do we think best? We must look to advertising for advice. Advertising is the straight line between supply and demand. It saves time spent in haphazard shopping. It leads you directly to your goal. By reading the adver- tisements, we can determine in advance where the best values can be found. With the aid of advertising, shopping becomes a simple and pleasant business, and budget figures bring more smiles than frowns.
