place with Papa hardly cold in his

NEVER LIKED HIM
She had never liked Papa Papa
never knew II, but Mama did. All
day long Bessie was one way, but
when Papa came home Bessie was
another way. She was quiet, never
chattering 10 Papa like she did 10
Mama about the wonderful things
she would do for him some day
She was touchy, slipping like an
eel from Papa's side whenever he
tried 10 careSs her.
She was calm as an oyster when
Papa fell ILL., When she watched
by the bedside. while Papa lay a
long time dying, her expression
was one of evaporation.
When Papa breathed for the
last time, and Mama flung herself
across his body, Bessie pulled
Mama away and said in a clear
triumphant voice. you've got me
OF take cars of you now"
Mama stacked the dishes care
fully, giving them pats to keep
them even the way Bessie wanted
them. She stole a glance at her
daughter. Bessie had not unbent.
She was attacking the copper pots
and pans as if she saw reflected
the image of her enemy. Yet
Mama knew the shining copper

own face.
Mama had left the kind and low
ing home of her parents and gone
TO the kind and loving home of her
husband. She was not grown UP
when she married She was not
really group up when Papa died.
She was 30, but she was gentle
and clinging because first there
had been her parents, and then
there had been Papa to cling to.

II was Bessie, il transpired, who

and there was a nice account in

After school she tended a neigh
boris baby.
Everybody said Bessie was a
wonderful girl TO work while other
children were playing. Everybody
wished they had a daughter as
loving as Bessie. Everybody said
that Mama was blessed.
When Bessie brought her first
pay home, and dropped it in her
mothers lap, as Papa had done
before her. Mama found herself
saying, too. what blessing Bessie
was. And then Mama wept, not
because she was happy and proud,
but because Bessie looked so SNUG.

Snapshot Prize Leads
Camera Amateur
To ExcitingC Career
Dovid Duncun Travels
Over Continent Tukinq
Successful Pictures

A former prize winner of the Ma
tional Amateur Snapshot Contest
revealed yesterday how the prize
money he was awarded in the 1887
contest started him on his way to
success as professional photog-
rapher.
David d. Duncan, 25, whose ad-
dress may be any place from the
Argentine pampas to the Canadian
north woods, is the man who made
that long step. He leads a highly
adventurous-and profitable-life as
a photographer, making his pictures
in strange places of the beaten
track.
In 1887 Mr.. Duncan was an
amateur photographer and sub
mitted one of his pictures to news
paper in Miami. 1t won $3.50 prize
in the national contest. With this
money he bought Speed Graphic
and started out to support himself
with his camera.
Impressed With Entry.
In the four years since, his work
has appeared in many magazines
and newspapers in this country and
abroad
Mr.. Duncan was visiting The Star
on business. He had sold this paper
more of his pictures. which appear
at various times in the rotogravure
section He happened to see the pic
lures which appear today as the
winners of this years local snap
shot contest.
He was particularly impressed with
one of The Stars grand prize win
ners, the picture, Peep of Day
entered by DR.. S. s. Jaffe. 1914
Eighteenth street NV.
That's in 100000" he said. Il
think it will go a long way in the
national contest"
Start Of Career.
Then he told how the picture he
made of an Indian fisherman, stand
ing on the bow of a canoe casting
net into the sea, won him his
start on an exciting career. The
picture has been widely printed.
Mr.. Duncan studied archaeology at
the University of Arizona, but this
training did not exactly fit him
for his early life. after graduation.
He became, in turn, professional
boxer and professional diver.
Then he took up photography, and
his knowledge of archaeology at last
stood him in good stead.
He Travelled over Central and
South America to make his first
successful pictures. specializing in
Indian ruins and subjects rejecting
the past and present of Latin
America.
Squid Ruined Camera.
He travelled under contracts with
the American Museum Of Natural
History and Pan American Airways
and has prowled through jungles
and Isolated areas of southern
countries.
He has had many adventures. and
IN the course of some Of them has
ruined and lost much equipment.
He recently put in a claim with his
insurance company for a camera
which was ruined when a squid cut
loose with stream of ink"
Mr.. Duncan said the ink took the
cover of his camera in a few hours.
He wore hood anw goggles and
although drenched by the black
fluid, was not injured.
He has just returned from New
foundland on an expedition with
the American Museum and is pre-
pairing TO leave on another.
