closet near the bathroom, both of
which are impractical on the second

The size of the rooms are excel

is a feature that appeals to every

doors are attractive between living

This duplex house will appeal to
many homebuilders, because it has
the appearance of a large single
residence. A moderate amount of
ground space is needed and yet two
comfortable, wen luxurious five
room apartments are provided for.
The exterior is in brick and tile
for the first story, with half-timbers
and stucco above. Clipped gables are
an interesting feature. The steep
shlngle roof makes possible a splen-
did attic, which is equally accessible
to both apartments and which may
be finished off into extra rooms.
The arrangement of the stairs is a
noteworthy feature. Besides the
separate front stair leading to the
second floor home, there Is a hall at
the rear which provides access with
privacy for the occupants of both
floors. from basement to attic. No
tice, too, the privacy of the two
living porches on the first floor.
Little Difference

CHAPTER vI-continued.

When this pain left her, when she
was free of her bonds, no force nor
FEAR would hold her to Pierre. She
would leave him as she had left her
father. She would go away. There
was no place for her to 60 to, but
what did that matter 80 long as she
might escape from this horrible place
and this internal tormentorf She did
not look about to see the actually Of
Pierre's silence. She thought that he
had dropped the brand and was sit
ting near the table with his face hid
den. How long the stiffness of pain
and fury and horror lasted there was
no one to reckon. 1t was most star
tlingly broken by a voice. "Who
screamed for help?" 1t said, and at the
same instant draft of Icy air smote
Joan. The door had opened with sud-
denness and violence With difficulty
she mastered her pain and turned her
head
Pierre had staggered to his feet.
Opposite him, framed against the open
door filed with the wan whiteness of
the snow, stood a spare, tall figure.
The man wore his fur collar turned
up about his brow. a sharp aquiline
nose stood out above frozen mus
taches, keen and brilliant eyes
searched the room. He carried his
gun across his arm In readiness. and
snuffed the air like suspicious hound.
Then he advanced a step toward
Pierre.
"What DEVILS work have you been
att" said he, his voice cutting the ear
In its sharpness of astonished rage
and his hand slid down along the
handle Of his gun.
Pierre, watching him like lynx,
side-stepped, crouched, whipped out
his gun and fred At almost the same
second the others gun went off.
Pierre dropped.
This time Joan's nerves gave way
and the room, with its smell of
scorched flesh, of powder and of frost,
went out from her Mortified senses.
For a moment the strangers stern
face and brilliant eyes made the APP
center of great cloud Of
then 1t, too, went out.

Barcelona. Spain,-A state of siege

Thursday morning and the Catalan
military authorities took possession
OF power in the city.
1t is reported that Santiago Alba,
the minister of foreign affairs, is I'M
der arrest at San Sebastian.
Closely censored advices from Ma
drid Thursday indicated large sec
ton of the Spanish army has rebell-
ed, demanding resignation of the gov
eminent.
The rebellion apparently was caus-
ed by two conditions:
/. The dictatory policy of the gov
eminent toward the Catalonian sep
aratsts who at meeting in Bar
celonia Wednesday. adopted motions
insulting fhe king and queen and
demanding immediate separation of
Catalonia into an Independent repub-
lie.
.. The military reverses suffered
by Spanish forces in Morocco fighting
against the Moorish rebels led by Add
lei Krim. The army blames the gov
eminent for these reverses because
of its failure to provide sufficient
troops, munitions and equipment,
despite the repeated pleas of the
military commanders.
The movement started shortly after
midnight in Barcelona, the seat of
the Catalonian movement, when the
provincial Captain. General Prime
De Rivera, declared state Of war,
demanded resignation of the cabinet
and seized communication lines.
Late advices indicated the move
ment had spread throughout the
country, majority OF independent
military garrisons going over to the
revolutionists who were reported to
have captured Foreign Minister Alb
da.
Dispatches indicated the position
of the king was not endangered.
The council of ministers. in a long
session ending early Thursday, re-
fused to resign and retaliated against
the army by declaring martial law in

CHAPTER VII
The Judqment Of God.

The man who had entered with such
sudden violence upon so violent a
scene stood waiting till the smoke Of
Pierre's discharge had cleared away
then, still holding his gun in readi-
ness, he stepped across the room and
bent over the fallen man.
"Pve killed him !" he said, just above
his breath, and added presently, 'sThat
was the judgment of God" He looked
about, taking in every detail of the
scene, the branding iron that had
burnt its mark deep into the boards
where Pierre had thrown it down. the
glowing fire heaped high and blazing
dangerously in the small room, the
woman bound and burnt, the white
night outside the uncurtained window.
Afterward he went over to the
with head hanging backward over the
wounded shoulder. He united the
silk scarf and the rope and carried
her, still unconscious. into the bed
room, where he laid her on the bed
and bathed her face In water. Joan's
crown Of hair had fallen about her
neck and temples. Her barred throat
and shoulder had the firm smoothness
of marble, her lfeless face, Its pure,
full lips fallen apart, its long lids
closed black-fringed and black
proved, owing little of its beauty to
color or expression, was at no loss in
this deathlike composure and white
ness. The man dealt gently with her
as though she had been child. He
found clean rags, which he soaked in
oil and placed over her burn, then he
drew the coarse clothing about her
and resumed his bathing of her fore
head.
She gave q moaning sigh, her face |
contracted woefully, and she opened |
her eyes. The man looked into them |
as a curious child might look into an
opened door.
.sDid you see what happened?' he |
asked her when she had come fully |
to herself.
"Yes," Joan whispered. her lips shak-
ing.

OLD INSURANCE FIRM

The ". B. Needy Real Estate and Insurance company, founded and for many years conducted by the late Maj. W. B. Leedy, Is a Birmingham landmark. Its reputation is that of intelligent and high-class business methods. No firm has the more im- plicit confidence of It's patrons and none does a greater business for non- residents, who are especially careful of whom they chose to handle their affairs. This firm has conducted many large real estate deals and does an extremely large fire insurance
 business. It was founded in 1887, when Birmingham was little more than an overgrown vlllake and has more than kept pace with the grow ing city. Business placed with the Leedy company Is assured of being cared for in the most competent man ner and with most scrupulous consid- eration of the interests of the client.

 Rise In Cotton.
 All southern business men noticed with interest the rise in cotton last week following reports of drought in the southwest. This brought an ac- tual condition to the fore and caused dispersal of the pessimism that had arisen over two weeks of fluctuation during a period when actual cotton data was not to the fore.
 The cotton carry over Is the small est on record and southern producers, manufacturers and wholesalers also take note of that.
