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-

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.
He was tolling ber about a book he
had Just read.
-"The absolute sincerity and direct
ness ot tbo author," he said, "are
above all praise. I' don't know when
I've read a book that seemed so help
ful, so uplifting, so purely Inspiring."
She had been regarding blm with
rapt countenance. Now sho spoke.
"George," she said, "I have Just
thought of a way to trim my new
bat!"
