He had his own ideas about Clement Rowe, the artist friend to whom Lesbia re- ferred. A selfish, sordid being, he as well had some plans and prospects re- garding Lecbia, and he did not intend that they should be set astray. There had come a month of new glory in the life of the sweet, bright girl who had led a lonely humdrum ex- istence at the home of the crusty old lawyer for ten years. Clement Rowe, an artist, had strolled to Merton. He had met Le and had—stayed. Her guardian was absent on an important law case in a distant city and Lesbia had a free hand. She took pleasure in guiding her new acquaintance to the most pic- turesque ots in the vicinity. She posed for h She betrayed the ar- dent art impalse in her own nature, and under his loving, skilful guidance sho had soon mastered the rudiments of drawing and painting. Her eyes sparkled, her breath came quick, her @ tion and anticipation showed in her bonny face as he told her of studio life in the city. She was a rare builder of dreams. Her father had been & noted tragedian. Perhaps there was born in her the careless, happy bohemian instinet. At least, the artist's stories of genius striving in an attic, of grand though humble souls, pure, loyal, worthy amid poverty and disappointment, appealed to her. “To be among them and among ple- tures—pictures—npictures!” she had fluttered with eloquent eyes—"it is the life, the higher life!” It seemed as though the sun had de- parted from the heavens the day that Clement Rowe left Merton. He had promiged to return the next month. There came a chatty, friendly letter from Clement. It was full of his art, full of himself, therefore she cherished /-’“—\ % Took Pleasure in Cuiding Her New Acquaintance to the turesque Spots. it, and the simple hut pretty missive ghe sent in reply secined to bring back to his longing sou! a .wl.n ing memory of rambles in the sweet scented woods, the flitting of a Jace that was im- pressed upon his heart of hearts like a talisman. Then weeks of gloom, for Lesbia re- ceived no reply. Neither did Clement Rowe return as he had promised. Poor little spirit! She grieved to think she was go soon forgotten.

He had an- ticipated the bequest for a year back, | but he had never told Leshia of that. Now Ira Dunn conceived a great idea of keeping that money in the| He had a favorite nephew in | family. a neighboring town. Behold, within a brief time, this Abner Bowen a guest) at the Dunn homestead, the chosen suitor for th»- hand of the pretty little heiress! Lesbia treated the awkward, carroty- | haired youth with kindness, as her gentle rature impelled her. her, however, when boating or driving her surroundings would suggest those rich, jeyful day had been by her side. The contrast of companionship was so intense that | she would turn aside to hide the tears of regret—of pride, too, for Lesbia felt that Clement had slighted her. One day Abner Bowen blunderingly proposed to Lesbia. So palpably had the speech he made been put into his mouth by Ira Dunn that laughed outright at him. In a later | spirited interview with Mr. Dunn she | flatly rejected his candidate and the schemer set about forming new pln(-.

' 8he was looking for an old scrap book in the library when she came across what appeared to be the pen- ciled draft of a letter written by Mr. Dunn. She could not take her eyes from the sheet, as'she saw that it con- cerned Clement Rowe. It had apparently been written right after Lesbia had answered the first and only missive she had received from the artist. It told Lesbia that Clement had written a manly letter to ) Mr. Dunn, confessing his love for her and asking his permission to renew the acquaintance. The reply had been that Lesbia was already selected for another, that she would ultimately become an heiress, and that if Clement persisted in his attentions he would lie under the sus- picion of being a mere fortune hunter. “Poor, proud soul!” cried Lesbia, her eyes scintillating with indignation, she had learned to esteem. “And he has loved me all the time! Oh, the way is easy now! As to the fortune—" Her busy little mind mapped out and carried out a speedy program. Money should cease to be a barrier between Clement and herself, she resolved. The next morning Lesbia went alone to the bank where her little fortune was deposited. First she drew out a few hundred dollars for her own per sonal use. Next, she sent half of the remainder to an old aunt who had groaned under the hard burden of a heavy mortgage on her home for many years.

NEW ’G.DS'm! “He can be no fortune hunter now!” she whispered mpuy to herself—*“if he really wants me.” A note apprised Ira Dunn of what his independent charge had done the q L] next day, and Lesbia was on her way to the city, and first thing to the artist quarter of the big metropolis. One day Clement Rowe received a note from a Mrs. Ernest Moore. She was the widow of an artist, and an art- ist herself. As he entered her studio he chanced to glance past the draper- fes at an aproned figure standing busy at work before an easel. “Miss Austin!” he fairly gasped, “and here!” “Yes, for a month past she has been my helper,” replied Mrs. Moore, with a happy smile. ‘She {8 making good headway towards a point where she can earn her living.” “What! she, an heiress?” challenged Clement incredulously. “Let me tell you a rtory,” sald the lady artist—and sho did. “Now, then, Mr, Rowe' sha re- marked brightly,” I am going to leave you alone to renew your acquaintance with the wildwood nymph you mourned a8 lost.” B DBlessed fate! The sunlight ‘was bright in that quiet studio, two daunt- less spirits met on the threshold of a blissful destiny. The barrier of for- tune was gone, and they could work and love together in the pure simple glory of perfect harmony of mind and goul. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Cat In a Maze. More uncomfortable than a “cat in a strange garret” must be a cat in a ‘“erystal maze"—a labyrinth of paths, lilned with mirrors, and once in, 1% {8 hard to flud one's way out. In a town where one of these mazes was being exhiblted a strange cat strayed in, and soon became highly interested. Walking around between the mirrors she saw her reflection on all sides, | 'and she did not appear well pleased. Her tail began to swell, and rushed at the nearest cat, which, of course, advanced to meet her at the pame rate of speed. With a shriek of deflance they met, and the {ll-tem- pered feline fell back from a fearful bump against a mirror. Up she jumped and looked around, only to pee an array of angry cats staring | at her. When she moved all the oth- | er cats moved also. With a bowl of dismay she turned and fled. Groups ; of cats greeted her everywhere as she rushed into mirrors and tried to climb the slippery surface of the glass. | When she came to the exit she shot | out from the maze as if thrown from a catapult. With two jumps she | rushed into the street, and disap- peared in one of the adjacent houses, probably as scared a cat as ever was born. The Connolsseur, Every Riviera visitor knew Sebas- tlan B. Schlesinger, the rich Ameri- can composer and connoisseur. Mr, | Bchlesinger, at the end of the Riviera geason, gave a dinner at his beautiful flat on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, and showed his superb col- lections, and at the same time gave a whimsical definition of a connois- geur. “A connoigseur,” he said, while polntlng out the beauties of his old | ptalned-glass windows—"a connois- geur 18 but too often a wealthy indi- vidual who pays more for a second- | hand article than he'd have to give for | & new one.” The Honest Purpose. ‘ Work of any sort {8 a training.
