HIS DISCOVERY .

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 had made up my raind to ask you | ^
go quickly," fihe said, "but it may j

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. I read it in the paper. |
jot out my revolver when I saw you g
me through the window. Then I f
ought I'd better take the advantage,
it I've never fired?a?revolver?and
was afraid. I'm not as brave as I
ought?if you will go away?quickly,
I promise?not to give Information."
"Great Scott!" cried Brant. "I'm

paused perplexedly. {
"Why," murmured the lovely girl, I
