mmhhmi I to HIS DISCOVERY . no By JACK LAWTON. ch re do Torrents of rain caught Brant in his ag ear at the loneliest point of the road. ti< He had hoped to reach his hotel before gj; | the clouds burst. Now, he decided to er abandon tie rain-soaked runabout and ?d aeek shelter in the old vacated house glimpsed .hrough surrounding trees, be He made a dash for It aDd was re- flc Srded by dry space on the veranda. i?rougb a French window he could g(1 "? law oeillnged room. He put his tb hand to the window sa6h and It ^ alinned onward at his touch. Ensconced in the reclining chair, jni 'he lit a cljar, drew a newspaper from pr his pocket and proceeded to make ,ja the beet of the situation. The storm ^ not relenting in force, the busy man De f affairs lay and dreamed as he was jn not permitted to dream in the life fr) which hurried. And the dream car- ga ried him hack to boyhood days to a a low-cellinged room with firelight flick- ajf ring against its panels, a room peopled with those who were gone. He remembered, too, a youthful f01 dream, of a^woman to be, who should ap fill his mother's place and make for gt< him the sort of home bis father knew. ^ Hotel apartments satisfla^ his home g^ need, or he had thought the want sat- j0, iafled, until storm clouds had driven ev tarn to this haven, and the enforced Inaction In the allent room brought back 0Q to him strangely his memories. Ho decided to remain longer. Time j ( | 'eould hot make the situation worse, it c<> Wght make It better. So be folded bis ^ rpaper ani lighted a second cigar, nn?in? nv<?r a brief article be had read t 'concerning a set of desperate poachers ^ who were supposed to be located some- pj where In this vicinity. Their secret place of residence was said to be Q0 stacked with atolen spoils. Sheriff and troopers had been unsuccessful in wJ their capture, and the amazing thing ^ about it all was the fact that their reconnoitring scoat was a woman. g( An innocent appearing girl, the article jjf said, "entirely allaying suspicion." Brant thought he would like to meet ^ this girl;.he thought that he would enjoy a part in bringing the creature ftJ to Justice. And as^he reflected, a seeming panel in the wall slipped back before his eyes and in the reflected light from a further room he saw a girl framed in the opening. ^ The first thing that he noticed about nJ the girl was that she deliberately y, aimed a revolver In his direction, and 0f the second thing was her rare beauty. The startling part of the adventure to . him was the fact that the girl was re- ^ markably like the woman of his dreams, like the Ideal woman in his M picture of home. The woman pointed <0 a revolver now at his heart I f Am 'J TOE 1920 (3 > Quality has construction Hshed standard ol given to the Buic of superiority.

There is a windowless j jset at your right; step in there di- ^ ctly, please, so that I may lock the i tor." j s He was, in her eyes, of course, an ^ ;ent to bring her companions to Jua;e. As he looked again into the e rl's purposeful eyes. Brant consided It best to pretend prompt obedl- n ce to her command. If, in some a iy he might outwit her, he would I able to find the solution of the dif- a ulty. j After that one glance he was, q rangely enough, not eager to bring e girl to punishment She was, he . fleeted savagely, but a tool In the 11 nds of the desperadoes who dona- f ated her. Then with sudden daring 1! ant rushed across the floor in the rkness and caught tl ? girf off d ard, dashing the pistol from her rvcless hand. Firmly he held her his arms, until In the flickering light . >m the farther room he saw terror J ther and grow in her eyes, then with J low, sobbing breath, the girl fainted alnst his own fast throbbing heart. When he carried her through the or panel into the lighted room he nd there a sort of compact living artment, kitchen utensils, an oil >ve, a dresser, a cot bed. And near e widest window some half finished etches, paint brushes cloae by. The rely girl at last opened her trembling elids. ~ "I know," she breathed, "you ara % e of those horrible poachers?hid- | n near here.
