CHAPTER X.

In three days Duane was able with
great difficulty to mount his horse.
During daylight, by short relays, he
and Jennie rode back to the main
trail, where they hid again till he had
rested. Then in the dark they rode
out of the canyons and gullies of the
Rim Rock, and early in the morning
halted at the first water to camp.
From that point they Travelled after
nightfall and went into hiding during
the day. Once across the Nueces
River, Duane was assured of safety
for her and great danger for himself.
At last, far ahead over a barren mes
quite-dotted stretch Of dusty ground,
he espied patch of green and little
nat, red ranch-house. He headed his
horse for it and turned face he tried
to make cheerful for Jennie's sake.
She seemed both happy and sorry.
When near at hand he saw that the
rancher was a thrifty farmer. And
thrift spoke for honesty. There were
fields of alfalfa, fruit-trees, corrals,
windmill pumps, irrigation-ditches, all
surrounding neat little adobe house.
Some children were playing In the

Duane bounded down to the horses.
Jennie was trying to hold the plunging
bay. Euchre lay nat on his back,
dead, Q buliet-hole In his shirt, his
face set hard. and his hands twisted
round gun and bride.
"Jennie. you've nerve. all right r.

He caught his bride out Of Euchre's
clutching grip and leaped astride. The
frightened horses Jumped into Q run
and Numbered down the lane into the
road. Duane saw men running from
cabins. He heard shouts. But there
were no shots fired. Jennie seemed
able to stay on her horse. but without

hurried a little. Halfway down the
lane he turned his head to peer
through the cottonwoods. This time
he saw Euchre coming with the horses.
There was no indication that the old
outlaw might lose his nerve at the end.
Duane had feared this.
Duane now changed his walk to a
leisurely saunter. He reached the
porch and then distinguished what was
Eaid inside the cabin.

stirrups she was thrown about 20 much
that Duane rode closer and reached
out to grasp her arm.
Thus they rode through the valley
to the trail that led up over the steep
and broken Rim Rock. As they be-
gan to climb Duane looked back. No
pursuers were In sight.
"Jennie. we're going to get awayl"
he cried, exultation for her In his
voice.
She was gazing horror-stricken at
his breast. as in turning to look back
he faced her.
"Oh, Duane, your shirts all bloody I"
she faltered, pointing with trembling
fingers.
With her words Duane became
aware Of two things-the hand he in
stinctively placed to his breast still
held his gun, and he had been shot
through the breast far enough down
to give him grave apprehension Of his
life.
They did not stop climbing while
Duane tore a scarf and made COM
presses, which he bound tightly over
his wounds. The fresh horses made
fast time up the rough trail. From
open places Duane looked down. When
they surmounted the steep ascent and
stood on top Of the Rim Rock. with
no signs of pursuit down in the valley,
and with the wild broken fastness
before them, Duane turned to the girl
and assured her that they now had
every chance to escape.
"But-your-wound she faltered,
with dark, troubled eyes. 81 see-the
blood-dripping from your back!"
"Jennie, I'll take a lot of killing"
he said.
Then he became silent and attended
to the uneven trail. He was aware
presently that he had not come into
BANDS camp by this route. But that
did not matter; any trail leading out
beyond the Rim Rock was safe enough.
What he wanted was to get far away
into some wild retreat where he could
hide till he recovered from his wound.
So he turned off on a trail that ap-
peared seldom Travelled.
Soon after this move be became con-
scious Of a further thickening Of his
senses. He felt able to hold on to his
saddle for a while longer, but he was
falling. Then he thought he ought to
advise Jennie, SO in case she was left
alone she would have some idea Of
what to do.
Jennie, I'll give out soon," he said.
'No-I don't mean-what you think.
But I'll drop soon. My strengths GO
ing. If I die-you ride back to the
main trail. Hide and rest by day.
Ride at night. That trail goes to
water. I believe you could get across
the Nueces, where some rancher will
take you in"
Duane could not get the meaning Of
her incoherent reply. He rode on, and
soon he could not see the trail or hear
his horse. He did not know whether
they travelled a mile or many times
that far. But he was conscious when
the horse stopped, and had vague
sense Of falling and feeling Jennie's
arms before all became dark to him.
| When consciousness returned he
found himself lying in a little hut of
mesquite branches. 1t was well built

again some day."

Duane and Jennie trotted away into
the gathering twilight. The sky wa,
overcast with heavy clouds; there wat
no air moving; the heat and oppres
sion threatened storm. BY and BY
Duane could not see a rod In front Of
him, though his horse had no difficulty
in keeping to the road. To his an
noyance, however, a fine. misty rair
set in. Jennie was not well dressed
for wet weather; and, for that matter
neither was he. His coat. which IL
that dry warm climate he seldom
needed, was tied behind his saddle
and he put 1t on Jennie. The nigh
passed quickly despite the discomfort
and soon a gray, dismal, rainy dawr
greeted the travellers.
Jennie insisted that he find sue
shelter where fire could be built "

condition to risk catching cold. In
fact, Duane's teeth were chattering

thought swelled his heart. His act,
death-dealing as 1t had been, was q
noble one. and helped him to hold on
