CHAPTER !.

So II was In him, then an inherited
dghting instinct, driving intensity to
kill. He was the last Of the Duanes,
that old fighting stock Of Texas. But
not the memory of his dead father, nor
the pleading of his soft-yoiced mother.
nor the warning Of this uncle who
stood before him now, had brought to
Buckley Duane so much realization
Of the dark, passionate strain in his
blood. It was the recurrence, hum
dredfold increased In power, Of q
strange emotion that for the last three
years had arisen In him.
aYes. Car Bain's in town. full Of
bad whisky an huntin' for you,' re-
peeted the elder man, gravely.
"But what's he want me fort" de-
handed Duane. ITO insult me again?
/ won't stand that twice."
.He's got a fever that's rampant in
Texas these days, my boy. He wants
gun-play. II he meets you he'll try
to kill YOU"
Here 1t stirred In Duane again, that
bursting gush Of blood, like a wind Of
fame shaking all his inner being, and
subsiding to leave him strangely
chilled. ~ 4
xiii me! What for?' he asked.
Lord knows there amt any reason.
But what's that to do with most Of the
sho0tin' these sdays? Didn't five cow
boys overito Everall's kill one another
dead all because they got to jerkin' at
a quirt among themselves? An Cal
has no reason to love You. His girl
was sweet on you"
II quit when I found ont she was
his girl. Ri
II reckon she amt quit. But never
mind her or reasons. Gals here, just
drunk enough to be ugly. He's achin
to kill somebody. He's one Of them
four-fush gun-fighters. There's q lot
Of wild cowboys who're ambitious for
reputation. They laugh at the sher-
IFS an brag about how they'd FIX the
rangers. Cars sure not much for you
to bother with, II you only keep out
of his way"
.'You, mean for me to runr' asked
Duane, in scorn.
u reckon I wouldn't put It that way.
Just ayoid him, Buck, I'm not afraid
Cal would set you, What I'm most
afraid Of is that you'l kill Balm"
Duane was silent, letting his iuncle's
earnest words sink In. trying to realize
their Significance. jsosis n.

old man. YOU'D be like your father.

would have been driven to the river.
He was killed In a street-fight. An 1t
was told of him that he shot twice
after a bullet had passed through his
heart. Think Of the terrible nature
OF a man, to be able to do that. II
you have any such blood in you, never
give 1t a chance
'What you say is all very wel1,N

way out for me is to run. and won't
do 1t. Cal BAN and his outfit have
already made me look like q coward"

Then followed . long silence, dur
ing which Duane sat with downcast
eyes, and the uncle appeareds lost In
sad thought Of the future. Presently
he turned to Duane with ansexpressiOn
that denoted resignation, and yet q
spirit which showed wherein they were
of the same blood.

With that he turned on his heel and
went into the house, leaving Duane
to revolyes IN his mind his singular

like years of actual living, and In It

fifty per cent of the entire membership of the

Mr. Williams has just completed tour of the

talked with representatives of every industry
and addressed seven national conventions of
labor organizations
