She was looking for an old scrap book in the library when she came across what appeared to be the pen- cfled 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 flrst and only missive she had received "H'm!” commented her guardian from the artist.

Her ghe had learned to esteem. “And he “He has brought a new motive into my life—he is the best man I ever knew!"” spoke Lesbia Austin with force and sincerity, 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 spots in the vicinity. She posed for him. She betrayed the ar- dent art impu'se in her own nature, and under his loving, skilful guidance she had soon mastered the rudiments of drawing ond painting. Her eyes sparkled, her breath came quick, her ambition and anticipation sbowed in her bonny face as he told ber of studio life in the city. She was a rare builder of dreams. Her father had been a noted tragedian. there was born in her the careless, heppy bohemian instinct. 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 pie- tures—pictures—pictures!” 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 promised to return the next month. There came a chatty, friendly letter from Clement. It was full of his art, full of himseil, therefore she cherished Took Pleasure in Guiding Her New Acquaintasnce ~ Lo asho N Osk i i in, and soon became highly interested.

Rowe return as he had promised. Poor little spirit! She grieved to think she was so soon forgotten. Then a wonderful happening tcok up her at- tention. An aunt had died leaving her twenty-five thousand dollars. It was all in money, Ira Dunn told her, and he developed a sudden new interest in his charge. He had an- ticipated the bequest for a year back, but he had never told Lesbia of that. Now Ira Dunn conceived a great idea of keeping that money in the family. He had a favorite nephew in a neighboring town. Behold, within a brief time, this Abner Bowen a guest at the Dunn homestead, the chosen suitor for the hand of the pretty little heiress! Lesbia treated the awkward, carroty- haired youth with kindness, as her gentle rature impelled her. It hurt her, however, when boating or driving her surroundings would suggest those rich, joyful days when Clement Rowe had been by her side. The contrast of companionship was so intense that she would turn aside to hide the tears that Clemeut had unwarrantably slighted her. One day Abner Bowen blunderi proposed to Lesbia. So palpably had the speech he made been put into his mouth by Ira Dunn that Le 2 laughed outright at him. In a later spirited interview with Mr. Dunn she flatly rejected his candidate and the sion And then one day came a remark- t | schemer set ¢ ling new plots. ; Then gra re came to Les- bia's mind an intense desire to make | of art her life endeavor.

Oh, the | way 18 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 fow hundred dollars for her own per- remainder to an old aunt who had groaned under the hard burden of & heavy mortgage on her home for many years. The balance Lesbia donated to a home for orphans in a near city. she whispered raptly to herself—“it he really wants me.” A note apprised Ira Dunn of what his independent charge had done the 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. “Mfss Austin!” he fairly gasped, “and here!” “Yes, for a month past she has been my helper,” replied Mrs. Moore, with a happy smile. ‘She i{s making good headway towards a point where she | can earn her living.” “What! she, an heiress?* challenged Clement Incredulously. “Let me tell you a story,” sald the lady artist—and she aid. “Now, then, Mr. Rowe” she re- marked brightly,” I am going to leave /| you alone to renew your acquaintance with the wildwood nymph you mourned 08 Jost.” Blessed fate! The sunlight ‘was bright in that quiet studio, two daunt- less spirits met on the threshold of a blssful 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 soul. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Cat In a Maze, More uncomfortable than a “cat in B strange garret” must be a cat in a “crystal maze”—a labyrinth of paths, ! lined with mirrors, and onee in, it {8 hard to find one's way out. In a town where one of these mazes was being exhibited a strange cat strayed | Her tail began to swell, and she rushed at the nearest cat, which, of course, advanced to meet her at the same rate of speed. Up she Jumped and looked around, onmly to see 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 a catapult. rushed into the street, and disap- peared in one of the adjacent houses, probably as scared a cat as ever was born.
