The setter laid its head on his knee

eyes. He was going to lose this dear
intimacy. After this he'd have only
one or two of his children at time

Bruce was grateful for the shadows
of the fre-lit room. He could not see
Barbara's face. but he could feel her
dark eyes upon him. He summoned
courage to the task.
But the final story was told and the
final carol sung, and he carried Nancy
and Bill upstairs on his shoulders.

Daddy home for Christmas" muir
INJURED little Nancy on her knees be-
side her bed. Arms tight about his
neck, ardent kisses on his cheek -
Bruce was completely unstrung as he
turned away from her.
Tremendous protest was rising within
him. Was he to be taken in by tender
memories and baby's prayer such
stock-in-trade sentimentalities? The
older children would be up for some
time yet. Desperately, he realized he
must get a grip on himself before he
faced Barbara alone.

tions, and Betty trying to tell him
things. Heasaw himself an expatriate,

dren refused to visit him? Would all
the inspiration and beauty of Sheila
compensate such loss?
He thought uneasily of the book
he'd left with Thurston. Acute dis
taste for it filled him suddenly. 1t was
clever sophistry. nothing more. He
knew that now Why had he been so
deluded by Sheila's praise? He shrunk
from what he knew John Thurston
would say And Barbara. She had an
uncanny instinct for his weak spots.
The talk was endless The desire
which had possessed him for months
surely couldn't be dispelled overnight.
Did he really love his children more
than Sheila? 1t was inconceivable.
He was desperately tired. His eyes
turned to Barbara Her face was hid
den in shadow, but her hand, quiet
on the arm of her chair, lay in the
light. His eyes clung to it. Finely mus
cular it was, slender, capable. Red
lacquered nails would have cheapened
it. Aching tenderness filled him. He
longed to sit at her feet and feel that
hand on his head Somehow it would
bring him peace. He was groping
blindly in chaos. He didn't want to
leave home.
Sheila was like dream to him. He
could not even visualize her just now.
And suddenly he knew his desire for
her was gone. 1t had been fever. 1t
had burned itself out and left him
normal. 1t was as simple as that.
But this irresistible force which
drew him was not just his love for his
children. 1t was a deeper thing. He
loved Barbara, always had loved her.
1t was impossible to carry on con-
versation when he was struggling out
of such wreckage. He was impatient

for his children to go. He must tell
Barbara how much he loved her.
Should he confess everything? Life
might never be the same again if he
did. Why make her suffer for things
past and dead? Thank Heavens! She
hadn't known.
A sharp ring of the door bell
startled him. His mouth was dry as
Alan came IN with an envelope.

raphy indoors is just like any indoor
photography, with one important ex-
ception - the Christmas tree. The
eye is more sensitive to green than any
other color, which means. in practice,
that the tree looks much lighter to the
eye than it does to the camera. In
addition, there are no broad leaves to
catch light. All this means that the
tree must be lighted more brilliantly
than the rest of the scene if it is to
show detail. A good practice is to use
the normal amount of light for general
illumination, plus one or two extra

They were gone.
Only the muffled drop of charred
wood in the fireplace broke the tense
stiffness. Bruce stared numbly He
could find no words - he who had
talked 50 glibly all day. Never, as long
as he lived, could he forget the stark
pain in Barbara's eyes in that one
unguarded instant when their swift
glances met at Alan's innocent words.

 The Ellis went through . super. vised scrimmage on Anthony Thompson field yesterday, and when early darkness fell, Pond ordered the floodlights turned on. For well into an hour the squad practiced into the night.
