"Never saw him. lie wrote that his name was Bex Carl Carlisle or suth In' like that." Three hours later, when the bell rang for supper, Margaret put a few "finish In' touches" to her hair and went Into the dining room, where the farmer's family and the new boarder had al ready assembled Almost any one In these days of "photography made easy," If he uses good plates and developers, cau produce a clear, crisp negative. Very often, however, a good negative falls to result in a good picture. The fault In the majority of cases lies In bad grouping and poor arrangement of the subject. Don't begin by making portraits. Of course, every one tries this, the result being very often freaks and curiosities which astonish athi bewilder us. Tho professional knows that a special lens is necessary for a re.tlly good portrait, which, however, would give him but poor results were he to use it for landscape work. Suppose you take a house for a subject. It seems easy to make a picture of a building, but a little study will show you that there are several Important de tails to ho observed. I'll the first place, don't point your camera directly at the front of the house. You may think that If the sun shines directly ou it you'll get a good picture because there Is plenty of light. But shadow ts necessary as well, nnd you will secure a better result If you can arrange your camera so ns to include not only the front, but one side as well, which, if the front is In the light, will necessarily be in shadow. This .will give you a better idea of what the house looks like, as well as a more artistic picture. Then again, suppose you wish to tnke n landscape or a view of the street. Choose the view you think best suited for jour purpose, but remember that the prettiest view does not always make the prettiest picture. If you're taking a landscape, focus so as to get a good background, and bring the foreground Into correct focus by stopping down your lens. Always try to have a shrub, n heap of stones, or some figure In the foreground. If you don't your picture will have n flat effect. A really pretty scene Is often completely spoiled by ai flat, uninter esting expanse of grass or water In the foreground. Indoor photography requires n longer exposure, for no mntter how strong the light Is outside, It Is very much diffused when It reaches objects in an ordi nary room. If, however, you wont to take a picture Indoors, try to have ns much light as you can from the tops of the windows. Sometimes It Is better even to block up the lower halves of the windows. An upstairs room is always nrefer- able to one downstairs. WORK OF WOMAN SOULPTOR. I yfUJj flE BLOWN UP. Krautclu Hie. Hccclvcj Mr.t it tho Vloiiim Kililblt.

"Marjory Atberton's 'great beauty!' Now that Just shows how much you can believe what the papers say. She is the plain est girl I have ever known. We were schoolmates and were graduated the same year. Marjory had red hair and freckles. But she was clever. The cleverest scholar In the whole class. I was only eighteen then, nnd Imagined that she favored me more than she did the other fellows. But not being a susceptible youth to anything but beau ty, Marjory's red bnir and freckles did not appeal to me." Ills companion arose nnd uncon sciously dropped the bunch of flowers that had filled her lap, The days flew on. Carlisle's vacation was nearlng a close. He found himself wishing that he might remain forever near the farm er's daughter. He marveled at the power exercised over him by this slm pie little country girl. One evening ns they were sitting on the piazza he remarked: "There is something about you that reminds mo of somo one I have known." Mnrgnret looked up at him curiously. "It seems that I have known you for ever," he went on. "Yet you have only been here three weeks," she replied. "Yes, but I have not reckoned time by days or weeks, Margaret. You can never know how I have enjoyed your companionship." He would have taken her hand, but she arose as If not noticing the gesture and wandered Into the sitting room. She took a scat at the little old-fash ioned organ and began playing. She started an old song, one that he had so often sung in the old days at the high school, no began the song with her, then stopped nnd listened to Mar garet. How strangely familiar her voice, and how sweet. He went back to tho piazza and lis tened to her sweet girlish tones. She wondered at his abrupt leave taking. Quitting tho organ she went out on the porch. Ilex came toward her. "Margaret," ho faltered, "I lovo you; can you give me one little word of hope that my love Is returned? I am going away tomorrow." Margaret stepped back and looked up Into his face In astonishment. He saw the look. "I know that you are surprised," he said eagerly, "I have only known you three weeks, Yet I lovo you.

She was a young widow with two small children to educate. Her Income be ing small, she came to Chicago from her Montana home to study art In order to open a studio herself.

Marcus Daly's Story of Ho w a Southern er Chanced Hi. l'oker Luck. Marcus Daly, the Montana million aire, tells of a poker game with some peculiar features. "The game," said Mr. Daly, "was In progress the second night after wo sailed. I don't believe much In hoodoos and signs and that sort of thing, and I don't put much faith In luck, but I was pretty nearly converted on this trip. A blonde-mus- tached Virginian named Mack Hardy was a steady loser for tho first tw.o hours. He played 'em well, but when ever he had a big band somebody else always had one just a bit bigger, and on a bluff some fellow with more cu riosity than nerve or Judgment would call him down. At Just 11 o'clock he got up from his chair and walked back ward around tho tnblo thirteen times, offering no explanation for his strange conduct. On the next deal ho bad a pair of treys, raised It when It came his say, stood two raises from other players and set It back the limit. BdHh tho others stayed In, holding up an ace and didn't Improve; each of the oth ers drew ouly one card. Hardy put up a inagnlflceut bluff I never saw a low hand played better, with all the feints of assured nervousness, frequent glances at his band, etc. "He drove one man out who had aces up and had tho other on the run, when a gust of wind through the open door scattered the third player's hand, one card getting mixed up with tho discards, Of course, that band was pleased her fancy. Of course It was expensive; what pretty hat Isn't? She knew the price was more than she could afford, nnd for some days she resisted the temptation to buy. But the day beforo her departure for Mon tana she bought the hat, and decided to wear It on the train, thinking It would be injured less than if packed "While changing cars-nt a railroad junction In a gale of wind her hat blew off and It went sailing over tho plains. There was no time to run for It, as tho tram was late and moved right on. Be sides this my cousin had both children with her, the younger one In her arms. Trying, wasn't it? And now- what do you tuink happened a year after? My cousin camo East again and naturally as tho train reached tho place where sho had lost her hat Just a year before, she looked out of the car window, and there on the platform of tho newly erected little station stood a squaw rigged out In all tho splendor of her native costume and on her head re posed tho very lint that had been such nn expenso nnd nnnoyanco to my cousin.

' Students of a certain Western State university which many Kansas City boys attend are telling a story ou a pro fessor of English that will bear repeat ing. Some time ago several of the stu dents were gathered In a fellow stu dent's room fur past the midnight hour. A few bottles of beer, a light luncheon and a game of "draw" were among few of the forblddeu enjoyments that made the hours slip rapidly by. About 2 o'clock In the morning, when the fun wus at Its height, n knock cunie at the door. Everything became as quiet as death In an Instant. "Who's there?" said the host. "It's me," enmc back a voice, at the same time mentioning the name of the professor of English. A shout went up from the room. "Not on your life," called a voice from the room. "You should brush up on your grammar, old sport, before at tempting to play a Joke on us. Our pro fessor says 'It-Is I.' Hut whoever you are come in and have a drink." The door was thrown open, nnd be fore the astonished characters actually stood the professor of English. One of the students, quicker to tnke advantage of a bad situation than the others, said calmly: "Look here, professor, you've got us dead to rights, but If you 'peach' on us we'll tell about that hideous mistake In grammar. Oh. professor, 'It's me Quito reprehensible, sir; extremely careless, sir." mis last was said In a way mlmlclc ing uie professor's classroom tones. Tho shot went home. Rather would the professor have had a crime fastened on blm than that It should get nobud about that he, an authority on English, had actually said "It's me." j.uv Biuueius transgressions wero never reported.-Knnsns City Star.

Eventually ciintm tied agitation by pilots and others In terested lu shipping bore fruit, and now Arch rock must follow lu the way of the two others. In early days of California's history It wus a favorite nniiiHeinont for young men to wait for an unusually low tide and then pull a boat through tho arch. So far as Is known tho first time this feat was accomplished was In 1857, when Captain Frank Murphy, one of the best known pilots of his day, rowed a small boat through. For n few years the daring trip was occasionally made or attempted, but eventually a couple of young fellows, lu trying to do the trick, were dashed ngnlnat the arch by the heavy swell. Tho boat was (mulsh ed and the young men lost their lives. Since that time rowboats hnvu given Arch rock a wide berth. Frank Boyd, a noted pilot of the Cali fornia coast, voiced the opinion of nil men lu his profession when he called Arch rock a dangerous spot, and said It should have been blown up long ago.
