TTT Barbara and By DOROTHY Uarbarn Graham was an artist, and like most of her kind alio was strug- . cIIiik to keen tho wolf from stopping over tho threshold of her studio. Practical beyond the usual run of voting woman possessed of tho artis tic temperament, sho had oven gone so far as to make capital out of that satno hungry wolf by painting Ills Im aginary Imago bo realistically that It sold for a goodly Bum. Animals were Barbara's specialty. Sho had been n lover of tho dumb beastB ever since she wns old enough to lovo anything, nnd when sho took up her pnlette and brush her fancy seemed to run always to animals. For this reason, she had obtnlned for tho summer months an outdoor studio converted from tho small back garden of an English basement house. She found It more convenient for her ani mal models and, In lieu of going to the :ountry herself, she found tho outdoor work beneficial. An old stone wall en closed the garden and Ivy and Virginia creepers struggled over It hero and there. The small grafts plot In the center was edged with bright, old fashioned flowers, and Barbara had added a rustic urn or two to the cor ners. This morning she wns putting tho finishing touches to n canvas over which she had worked unusually bard, in tho picture a big, trl-colored mother cat lay In an overturned basket with her small family about her. Barbara had discovered tho feline fnmlly in her big rustic chair one morning when sho canio down to work and sho bnd tnkon It as a gift from tho gods, for sho was In need of a model for a now canvas. Sho hnd waited only long enough for the wee kittens to get their eyes open nnd assume fat and chubby proportions beforo begin ning to transfer their likenesses to her canvas. Meantimo, sho had modo the mother cat comfortable In a basket and fed her half a'bottlo ot her own precious milk ench morning. This picture, with two others, was to be hung In a small 'exhibit during the approaching winter. Barbara now had two of her pictures ready, and, for the third, sho was wor ried. It was an easy enough matter to go to tho animal homo and secure a model from which to paint, but Bar baras heart was set on painting a certain little thoroughbred dog sho had seen pass her windows every morning for three weeks. Tho question was how to get hlmt Tho dog followed his master closely and Barbara could not well accost a stranger and beg to be allowed to paint bis pet dog. As she stood putting little touches here nnd thero to the cluster of kittens on her easel and realized that the work before her wns finished, sho be came moro and more obsessed with the desire to paint that white dog for her third picture. She placed great hope In the criticism of tho work to be bung this winter and something told her she could do her best work if inspired by that strange little animal She became restless and, n.aklng tho kittens comfortablo In the righted bas ket, sho donned her bat and went forth to walk oft her uneasiness. Barbara had been ot the Idea, ever since she had come to the big" city to follow hor profession, that If she did exactly what was right at all times, thought evil of no one and harmed no one by deed or word, she would be given all that wns her due. She had been brought up with this Idea and the teachings of her mother clung to ber now that she was alone In the world. Therefore, aa abe walked she thought, and gradually a peaceful feel ing took the place of the spirit of un rest that had possessed ber for days. After a turn through a nearby park the retraced her footsteps toward ber studio. When she was within half a block ot the house behind which was ber work-garden, she was surprised to see the old trl-colored mother cat ap proaching her. It was the custom of the animal, after she had put her ba bies to sleep, to mount the garden wall and go out for air and exercise, but Barbara was not expecting to seo her on the public street. "Well, Puss," Barbara was beginning, and had stopped to pick up the animal when, with a spit and a growl and a rapidly bushing tall, the cat made for the narrow passageway between the houses, a white dog in full pur suit. "My dog!" cried Barbara aloud, and running to peep down the narrow passage. "Oh, if ' could only keep blm!" she wished ftloud. Footsteps came quickly behind her. "I beg pardon, my dog Is chasing your cat," said a man's voice benlnd her. Barbara turned and faced the owner of the dog. "Ho was," Barbara corrected. "She Pubs has climbed the wall and your dog Is barking frantically at ber." The taan followed Barbara's direc tion and saw his white dog dancing about In a mad desire to be at the ob ject of his chase, "He's death on eatsIs Tcbucaats," he explained. "I'm glad he did not get her I beg a thousand pardons In bis behalf." "It's Fate," Barbara said .half to uerself. Tbo man looked at her oddly. Per imps this young woman though Intel igen; and unusually pretty was not nuite right In her mind. Suddenly Bar- TIT the Beast BLACKMORE barn looked him squarely In tho cyos and his doubt (led. I "1 must explain." she begnn. "I am an urtlst and animals aro my forte I havo econ you pasR with your doR for days, and over since I laid eyen on him I hao wanted to paint him. He Ib such a beauty with bin long white coat and his port llttlo body. That's the reason I say this la Fate, for now 1 snail have the temerity to ask, if I may use him for n model long enough to gut him sketched Into tho can vas. 1 " "But of courso you may," tho man Interrupted. "Nothing would ploaso me more. I'm proud of Tchucoats as you may well believe when I tell you 1 brought him all tho way from Nomo. Ho Is an Esquimau dog and 1 had a hard time keplng him tho first sum mer In this part of tho country." "I thought ho had como from a cold cllmato with that coat," Barbara said, ber eyes on tho now discouraged canlno. "Hero, Tchucnats," called tho man. "Como nnd mnko your apologies to " "Barbara Graham," quickly supple mented Barbara, a rich color spread ing over hor face. "MIsb Graham," tho man ropcatcd, bowing. "And 1 mny paint him?" sho asked, all her artist's soul rejoicing. "Most certainly. When will you want blm?" tbo man asked, pulling tbo oars of tho animal beside htm. Barbara thought n moment. "I'll bnvo to find n homo for my kittles bo fore 1 dare to bring their enemy into tho studio," she explained. "Would tomorrow do?" Bhe finked. "Tho Booner tho better eh, Tchu cants?" the man asked. "1 will bring him tomorrow morning- and " pro duchiK bla card "this is his ownor's namo." Barbara took tho card. With her eyes on It she confessed to tho uncon ventional situation nnd apologized; but her plea was that her ono passion In life wns to succeed In hor art and that If properly Inspired sho could do bet tor work. Tbo man understood, and left her with tho promise to bring his dog on tbo following morning. It 'took only a few dayB for Bar barn worked constantly, to sketch In tho figure of tho dog, and then the artist was forced to admit that sho could contlnuo tho work without tho presence of tho model. "But It Is no troublo for mo to leave him If It would bo easier for you," the man Insisted. Barbara smiled up at him. "Of courso It would be easier, but " "Then ho shall como," the man In terrupted with a determined expres sion. Barbara said nothing. She wns squeezing the contents of a small tube onto her paletto with wonted extrava gance. "And Miss Graham," the man be gan, waiting for her to ansyer him by looking up "might the master come some day after studio hours, and Bit with the artist If not for her?" "Yes," Barbara answered, "he might If be likes." John Harden sat in the rustic studio many times after that, and when the picture his dog had inspired took an honorable mention at the exhibit ho bought It to hang In their home, hli own and Barbara's. Artificial Flowers Change Color. The principal uses ot cobalt In the United States are In making glass and pottery. A beautiful blue la-given to glass by the oxide ot cobalt. Sympa thetic Inks, according to a report ot the United States geographical sur vey, are made from cobalt acetate, chloride and nitrate that are colored when heated or colorless when cold. This Interesting phenomenon Is due to the change in color of the salts on the absorption of water. When dry they are blue and easily seen on pa per; when damp they are pink; and when dilute, colorless. A puzzling ap plication of this principle may be In a doll whose dresB Is bluo when subject ed to dampness, as In wet weather or when the doll Is held In the steam ot a tea kettle. Artificial flowers ar made to show tbo samo effect. Colored Teeth. Pearly teeth are not the fashion ev erywhere. Firms of artificial teeth manufacturers who havo an export trade have to keep in stock molars of every shade of color from white to black. There Is a steady demand for black tooth In Slam, Java, Batavln, and Burma, whero the natives chew the betelnut; which blackens tho teeth. For Persia the teeth must bo abso lutely milk-white. Recently an order wassVecelved from Bbavnagar, In In dia, for somo bright red and bluo arti ficial teeth. Smokers' teeth are regu larly supplied to dentists In shades to match thoso which have been discol ored by nicotine. It's No Use.
