The mother now tried to decoy US
straight ahead - flying low for forty
yards or so. then alighting and facing
US. Still we didn't follow her. but re-
NAMED motionless in the halted car.
Immediately she tried another
fight, skimming the road for a short
distance. But all her strategy was
failing. Once more she tried brief,
futile come-on. Then came her last
desperate resort.
Dragging one wing in the dust, she
limped directly toward us in truly
inspired imitation of wounded bird.
She was tempting the invader to
pounce and make her an easy captive.
When we were still not lured away
from her offspring. she headed de-
liberately nearer to US, completely
needless of any danger to herself She
was to be the sacrifice.
We couldn't bear to cause her any
more agony of uncertainty, so we
started the motor, and slowly edged
forward. No sooner we're we in mo-
ton, than the dragging wing spread
with the other, and still close to the
ground, keeping only a short distance
ahead, she led US up the road. away
from her scattered children For about
two hundred yards she cunningly
guided us on. Then suddenly she rose.
She had won. Her brood was safe!
With a swift wheel to the left she
disappeared from our sight - secure
in the shelter of the woods.
Admiration sounded in my hus-
bands voice as he said. That's what

There was a glow of tribute in my
heart, too, for the wild mother duck,

husband and myself.
The stark wildness of that gaunt
timber country awakens the spirit -
much as a needle-sharp cold shower

dimpled with wide "punch-bowr' for

finally Ambrose light winking off the

Once more, four men we're seated
in the mess room of the Falcon at
midnight. When Matteo saw his
fathers six-thousand dollar sedan
drawing up at the end of the pier. he
slipped into the sail locker and shut
the door, exacting promise from the
skipper not to tell he was there. He
didn't want to 60 back. He wondered
how he ever could have thought de-
mounting wire wheels exciting. Even
the rackets his father controlled we're
unexciting and innocuous beside this
new racket of the sea. He had always
thought the North River was re-
sponsible for the water beyond the
Narrows, reasoning that a river
running brimful day and night, would
in the course OF years bill quite hole.
He knew, now, that other rivers had
helped, since one could sail for three
weeks without seeing land. He wanted
to explore those rivers and the lands
from which they flowed.
Sitting on the pile of sails in the
locker, he listened to his fathers
familiar, suave voice. He thought that
in some mysterious way of the under
world. the word had been passed
along where he, himself, might be
found, and that this was the reason
for his fathers coming aboard. With
his ear glued to the key hole, he heard
how mistaken he was. He sat listening
long enough to get the drift of the
conversation, then he flung the door
open, stumbled across the threshold.

Aren't lot of them rather fiat and

Well, one difference between us and
the Hollywood cameramen is that
they long ago forgot that old rule
about making picture with the
light coming over your shoulder" In
the movies they not only use plenty
of light. but they throw it from every
direction with plenty of emphasis on
back lighting and side-lighting. For
the only way you can get sparkle.

Most pictorialists who make really
fine pictures never take a shot the
first time they see scene - they
study it under different lightings at
different times of the day until they
find it at its best. A shot that may be
drab and worthless at II am. may be
full of glamour at pm. One that is
too stark and contrasty on brilliant

he credited it to luck and clairvoy-
ance on the part of the skipper. Mat
tsc had grown to dislike Captain
Blum hardly at all. There were mo-
ments when he even conceded that the
skipper had something on the ball.
When he thought the skipper wasn't
looking. he inveigled one of the crew
into showing him things about ropes
and knots. When there was topsail
to shake out or make fast, he was in
the crows nest by virtue of his feline
agility, before Mr.. McGroarty's order
was uttered. Once the skipper had
surprised him practising with a bow
line over a hawse bit. Captain Blum
had said nothing. Had merely glanced
aloft at the swelling sails and made
sound in his cheek. Matteo had coiled
the rope up guiltily and sneaked away
behind the capstan:
Port Tobacco was mildly unexcit-
ing. Pineapples and bananas and
familiar vices grew wild. Matteo
sampled fruit and found it as tame as
the ones he had pilfered from push
carts. He wanted to be up and away.
He had found something harder than
himself, and he wanted to fight it out.
He'd never be happy until he had
licked the sea. He'd get the old man
to buy him a schooner like the Falcon,
and with rowing commission - and.
then, the thought of his father made
him pause. He hadn't thought of him
for weeks.
The Falcon went to many small
ports. picking up a bit of freight here
and there. The trip home was un-
eventful. Matteo was introduced to

a subject for a month before he even
brought the camera along!
But most of us haven't time to 60
to extremes. Most of US do. however,
have time to size up a shot from
several different angles. And when-
ever it is possible for you to look at a
potential picture with the sun coming
over your shoulder, then with the sun
coming from the side of the subject.
and. finally. with the sun from more or
less behind the subject. you'll be
amazed at the transformations evolved
by those different conditions.
The pitfalls of side-lighting and
back-lighting are two: o. that you
may let the sun shine into the lens;
(2) that you may underexpose the
negative. The first remedy is self
evident; for the second. simply play
safe by giving strongly side-lighted
shot double the normal exposure and
heavily back-lighted shot four times
as much as you would were the sun
shining on it from in front. The reason.
of course. is that these angle lightings
produce greater shadow areas.
No matter how much is said along
this line, however. the advice will
remain academic until you actually
make some test shots for yourself.
The best plan is to pick some familiar
scene that gets the full sweep of the
days sun and snap it under different
lightings. Make one shot. say, at
Gam; make the next at high noon;
make the third at pm; the fourth at
SPIN. Then put the prints side by side
and see what you will see!
The sum and substance of it all is
that angle lighting provides the con-
trasts necessary to give modelling,
delineation and snap to a picture.
And once you've gotten taste of
some nicely side-lighted pictures with
the atmosphere and pictorial quality
that is inherent in them, you'll never
make another front-lighted shot if
you can help it!

BONDING CHANGES
'T0BE URGED HERE
Special Body Due to Report
to Justice Adkins Soon on
Stiffening Rules.

Justice Jesse c. Adkins of District
Court is expected shortly to receive
report from special committee in
quiring into the bonding situation here,
in which recommendation for reor-
ganization of the existing system is
anticipated.
A couple more meetings are required
before the final report is drafted, it
was said today. One of the main
questions revolves around the ques-
tion of how much liability a bonds
man should be permitted to assume
in relation to his assets. The COM
mittee in inquiring into the matter
of keeping records and co-ordinating
the various phases of the subject, as
well as keeping a sitter rein over the
bondsmen who operate in District
Court, as well as elsewhere.
Police Court authorities permit the
writing of a bond only twice ne
amount of the bondsman's asstts, OIL
cials said, and similar limitation
is in prospect in the other courts.
Comparatively rare forfeitures are re-
quired here, some authorities say, and
the whole proposition is being thor
oughly aired, so that the courts may
have new standards on the subject.
The members of Justice Adkins
committee are Charles E. Stewart,
clerk of the District Court; William
Adkins, clerk of the Criminal Courts;
Assistant United States Attorney
Harry Underwood and Walter Bram-
hall, clerk of the Police Court.
Those who oppose the placing of
rigid limitation upon the writing of
bonds point out that the situation is
similar to that of life insurance COM
panies-they are never called upon to
pay of all at the same time.
