CAT La a Maza

More uncomfortable than a "cat in

crystal maze"-a labyrinth of paths,
lined with mirrors, and once in, It
is hard to find ones way out In
town where one of these mazes was
being exhibited strange cat strayed
in, and soon became highly interested.
Walking around between the mirrors
she saw her reflection on all sidess
and she did not appear well pleased
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. With shrek of
defiance they met, and the illtem-
pered feline fell back from fearful
bump against a mirror. Up she
jumped and looked around, only to
see an array of angry cats staring
at her. When she moved all the 9TH
er cats moved also. With a bowl Of
dismay she turned and fed. 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 cat as ever was
born.

Colored wash goods should not be

ICE CREAM IN FANCY SHAPES
Moldng Makes Delcacy More Appe-

Little Folks.

After becoming expert at making
ice cream. the housewife naturally
longs to try her hand at serving it in
fancy molds. 1t Is well to begin on
the common brick or cylinder, and
then experiment on fancy shapes. The
trick lies in very quick, tight packing
of the molds and the deft. skillful
turning out Of the shapes at serving
time Freeze the cream firm and
solid. have a rather shallow tub over
which you can bend easily, cover the
bottom to the depth of about four
inches with cracked Ice and rock salt
Chill the molds pack them quickly
with the frozen cream and cover the
seams between molds and lid with
strips OF cotton cloth dipped In
melted paraffin. This prevents the
entrance OF salty water into the
molds.
AS fast as mold Is filed, pack it
into the Ice and cover them all with
cracked ice, three parts, and coarse
salt one part When serving. hold the
mold under running cold water, wipe

able discovery, that abruptly changed
all the impulses Of her young life and
hurried the accomplishment Of her
souls ambitions.
She was looking for an old scrap
book In the library when she came
across what appeared to be the PEN
ciled draft of letter written by Mr..
Dunn. She could not take her eyes
from the sheet, as she saw that 1t con-
cerned Clement Rowe.
1t had apparently been written right
after Lesbia had answered the first
and only missive she had received
from the artist. 1t told Lesbla that
Clement had written 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 II Clement persisted in his
attentions he would lie under the sus-
picion of being mere fortune hunter.
Poor, proud soul" cried Lesbia,
her eyes scintllating with Indignation,
mingled with reverence for the man
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 speedy program. Money
should cease to be 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 q
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. The balance Lesbia donated to
a home for orphans In a near city.
HE can be no fortune hunter now!"
she whispered raptly to herself-"if 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
list herself. AS he entered her studio
he CHANGED to glance past the draper
les at an aproned figure standing
busy at work before an easel
Miss Austin!" he fairly gasped,
"and here!"
yes. for month past she has been
my helper" replied Mrs. Moore, with q
happy smile. She is making good
rheadway towards point where she
can earn her living"
| What! she, an heiress?" challenged
Clement incredulously.
Let me tell you a story" said the
lady artist-and she did.
Nov, then, Mr.. Rowe" she re-
marked brightly" am going to leave
you alone to renew your acquaintance
with the wildwood nymph you mourned
as lost"
Blessed 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
soul.

BUILDER Of DREAMS
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

He has brought a new motive into
my life--he is the best man l ever
knew!" spoke Lesbia Austin with
force and sincerity.
HIM" commented her guardian
and distant relative, Ira Dunn. He had
his own ideas about Clement Rowe,
the artist friend to whom Lesba re-
ferred. A selfish, sordid being, he as
we'll had some plans and prospects re-
garding Lesbia, and he did not intend
that they should be set astray.
There had come month OF new

istence at the home Of the crusty old
lawyer for ten years Clement Rove.

had met Les5ia and had-stayed. Her
guardian was absent on an important
law case in a distant city and Lesbia
had 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
dem art impulse In her own nature, and
under his loving, skilful guidance she
had soon mastered the rudiments of
drawing and painting.
Her eyes sparkled, her breath came
quick, her ambition 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 instinct. At least, the
artists stories of genius striving in
an attic. of grand though humble souls,
pure. loyal, worthy amid poverty and
disappointment, appealed to her.
ITO be among them and among pic
-pictures-pictures! she had
futtered with eloquent eyes-"it is the
life. the higher life!"
1t 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 chatty, friendly letter
from Clement. 1t was full of his art,
full of himself, therefore she cherished

dealt with him very gently That
