There must have been a hundred of them, all told, and when we recovered from our scare I could hear the machine beside me clicking away as it took the picture." "Did the wall fall ?" asked Uncle John.
"Not just then.

They first got the picture of the rush-out and the panic, and then they stopped the camera and moved the people to a safe distance away.

We watched them set up some dummy figures of girls and workmen, closer in, and then in some way they toppled over the big brick wall.

It fell into the street with a thundering crash, but only the dummies were buried under the debris." Mr.Merrick drew a long breath.
"It's wonderful!" he exclaimed.

"Why, it must have cost a lot of money to ruin such a building--and all for the sake of a picture!" "That's what I said to the manager," replied Patsy; "but he told us the building was going to be pulled down, anyhow, and a better one built in its place; so he invented a picture story to fit the falling walls and it didn't cost him so much as one might think.
