The photographer quickly wheels up

into the foreground, props up a rustic
fence at one side and throws down a
shaggy. grass-suggesting mat before it.

At last they locate themselves ac-

sweet and hayward fancies.
"Ah. my" exclaimed B.li from the
rock, 'what All awfully uucomforta-

Finally all seems in readiness. when

nerves in any form of speech he thinks
will be most soothing to his feelings
and expressive of his sentiments.
