against her lure. Brothers and other
frlenda of the small Bohemia In which
Bentley recently moved had teatlfled

Why was It that eager and worthy
snltora were left always the losers,
while the girl herself continued heart-

doubted the Invincible charm of which
they spoke. In hla own strong confi

the added, “which gave to me the Idea.
You discussed It with me at one time,

She seated herself on a bank of pine
needles and motioned him to her side.
Then hastily ahe unwrapped a port
folio. >
“There waa the timid bird of the
marshes which yon so feared yon could
not get," ehe went on. “Well, here Is
my sketch of the mother. I had anch
a time learning her plaintive call that
I might conx the young from their
hiding. And here—"
Bentley, leaning forward, gaxed un

The girl rested her curly head

“For your sake,” ahe answered sim

because, you see—I love you.”
“You sent me away," Bentley said,
huskily.
“I did not waat to love you,” she
explained. “Long ago I decided upon
nn artistic career In place of domea-
tlclty. So I would not listen to love—
or lovers. But now"—Judith laughed
tremulously—"Well, even my art must
be at yonr service,"’ahe laid, “and so—
If you still want me, dear—”
"Want you I” cried Bentley, from the

Brant thought he would like to meet
this girl: he thought thut he would
enjoy a port la bringing the creature
to Justice. / ml ns he reflected, a
seeming panel in the ivfll slipped hack
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
the girl was that she deliberately
alined a revolver In bis direction, ami

The startling part of the adventure to
him waa the fact that the gtri was re

Attention! V
Do not let your baled cotton ruin out in
the weather. If you wish to hold it for
a living price, you can save money by
storing it in my weather proof ware-*
houses. These are equipped with a
modern fire sprinkler system, which
gives me a very low insurance rate.
Will make liberal advances on cotton
thus stored at a reasonable interest
rate, thereby enabling you to hold for
the advance which is likely before an
