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 Lesbia re-
ferred. A selfish, sordid being, he as
well 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
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 Lesbia and had-stayed. Her
guardian was absent on an important
law case in 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
dent 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
lures ictures-pictures!" she had
fiuttered 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

Acquaintance to the Most Pic.
turesque Spots.

1t, and the simple but pretty missive
she sent in reply seemed to bring back
to his longing soul a solacing memory
Of rambles in the sweet scented woods,
the fitting of face that was i'm
pressed upon his heart of hearts like
q 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 so soon forgotten. Then
wonderful happening took up her at
tention. An aunt had died leaving her
twenty-five thousand dollars.
1t 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 favorite nephew in
a neighboring town. Behold, within a
brief time, this Abner Bowen a guest
| at the Dunn homestead, the chosen
sutton for the hand of the pretty little
heiress!
Lesbia treated the awkward, carroty.
haired youth with kindness, as her
gentle nature impelled her. 1t 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 Clement had unwarrantably

One day Abner Bowen blunderingl-
proposed to Lesbia. So palpably had
the speech he made been put into his
mouth by Ira Dunn that Lesbia
laughed outright at him. In a later
spirited interview with Mr.. Dunn she
fatty rejected his candidate and the
schemer set about forming new plots.

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 MT.
Dunn. She could not take her eyes
from the sheet, as she saw that 1t 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 mere fortune hunter.
Poor, proud soul!" cried Lesbia.
her eyes scintillating 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 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
heavy mortgage on her home for many
years. The balance Lesbia donated to
q home for orphans in q 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
note from q Mrs. Ernest Moore. She
was the widow Of an artist, and an art

happy smile. She Is making good
Roadway towards a point where she

Clement incredulously.

lady artist-and she did.

marked brightly" am going to leave

streets Of Manila toward the dock. Her bosom
was rising and falling tempestuously with the
effort and mad despair possessed her as she
caught the signs of readiness from the Empress
and saw there was no boat to take her out to
the ship which carried the precious orders.
She beat her tiny fists fiercely together.
There must be way There must be. Family

recently, sound she Identified with the solution

distance in short time. Faster than she had
reached the dock did she get to the stables. In
amazement the groom looked at her he fol-
lowed her orders She leaped into the saddle and
through the moonlight she dashed, the little
mare accepting this freak of her mistress
with delight.
The aviator had only Just returned from the
dance when she flung herself from the mare and
grasped him fiercely by the shoulders, shaking
him in the vehemence OF her command. He stared
at her unbelieyngy as he made out what she
desired but there something in the entreat-
ing eyes, the drawn face, that told her deadly
earnestness. His lips opened for protest when
she commanded herself and placing her hands

Lucille was pleading for the honor OF the

tragedy was enacted. Tho aviator--a man-amonE

strongest rival. Torn between conflicting emo
tions he sta red at her half unbelievng as with
appealing intensity she pointed wildly out across
the bright blue water to where the majestic liner
was steaming rapidly toward the horizon. Lu
cille hung breathlessly on the aviators every ac-
tion. His lips opened for protest, but there was
something in the entreating eyes he could not
resist. Breathlessly she watched him, awaiting
his decision. There was a curiously twisted smile
upon his lips when he faced her again.

diary which was headed-LoubeQue's Account

to draw through one Of these last when family
to his ears reached down drumming sound
from the heavens.
AS his eyes wondered up. the great bird in

figures OF man and woman emerging. A grim
smile crossed the spy's face as he put the diary
