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 barren mes
quite-dotted stretch of dusty ground,
he espied patch Of green and little
fiat, red ranch-house. He headed his
horse for it and turned q 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 a neat little adobe house.

again some day." fi
"Get down an come in, then, OF
you're no friend of mine. An gOoC
luck to you bothw
Duane and Jennie trotted away into
the gathering twilight. The sky wai
overcast with heavy clouds; there was
no air moving; the heat and Oppres
sion threatened storm. BY and BY
Duane could not see rod in front OF
him, though his horse had no difficulty
in keeping to the road. To his an
nOyance, however, a fine, misty raiK
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 it on Jennie. The nigh
passed quickly despite the discomfort
and soon gray, dismal. rainy dawr
greeted the travellers.
Jennie insisted that he find s~20t
shelter where fire could be built &
dry his clothes He was not in fl
condition to risk catching cold. In
fact, Duane'S teeth were chattering
To find shelter in that barren waste
seemed a futile task. Quite unex
pectedly, however, they happened upor
a deserted adobe cabin situated little
off the road. Not only did it prove
to have dry interior. but also there
was firewood. Water was available in
pools everywhere; however. there was
no grass for the horses.
A good fire and hot food and drink
changed the aspect of their condition
as far as comfort went.
Jennie slept while Duane watched
The saving of this girl meant more
to him than any task he had ever as
sumed.
AS he looked down upon her, .
slight, slender girl with bedraggied
dress and disheveled hair, her face,
pale and quiet, little stern In sleep,
and her long, dark lashes lying on her
cheek, he seemed to see her fragility,
her prettiness, her femininity as never
before. But for him she might at
that very moment have been broken,
ruined girl lying back in that cabin Of
the Blands. The fact gave him feel
ing of his Importance in this shifting
of her destiny. She was unharmed,
still young; she would forget and be
happy; she would live to be a good
wife and mother. Somehow the
thought swelled his heart. His act,
death-dealing as it had been, was a
noble one, and helped him to hold on
to his drifting hopes. Hardly once
since Jennie had entered into his
thought had those ghosts returned to
torment him.
Tomorrow she would be gone among

hurried little. Halfway down the
lnae 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
1eisurely saunter. He reached the
porch and then distinguished what was
aaid inside the cabin.
"If you do, Bland, by Heaven LII

stirrups she was thrown about so 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 away ="
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 !"
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. II see-the
!hlood-dripping from your back :"
"Jennie, Til 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
Bland's 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 trail that ap-
peared seldom travelled.
Soon after this move be became con-
scious of further thickening of his
senses. He felt able to hold on to his
saddle for while longer, but he was
failing. 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, TIL give out soon," he said.
"No-I don't mean-what you think.
But I'll drop soon. My strengths go
ing. II l 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 ill.,"
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 a 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. It was we'll built
and evidently some years old. Duane

Duane bounded down to the horses.
Jennie was trying to hold the plunging

face set hard, and his hands twisted

He caught his bride out of Euchre's
clutching grip and leaped astride. The
frightened horses jumped into a run
and thundered 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

 Brought Back.

The search for the body of II. D, Mcclellan, who was caught by a snow slide on the Carlson Creek Divide last Thursday afternoon and swept down the mountain and bur jed, has been abandoned. All hope of his being alive was given up Fri day night. but the search to locate his body was continued by the Gas ;ineau Company party and the force of men sent out by them for that purpose.
 Yesterday after the search had continued for nearly AS hours with out results it was abandoned and lt is not expected that the body of the man will be located until late next spring when the melting of the snow will uncover it. The slide which carried Mcclellan to his death GOV CTS an area of practically 15 acres of ground and it was found to be impossible to dig over the entire area. Besides this, the searchers were in constant danger from other slides.

Berlin, Germany.-The French cen

in ignorance of the fact that they can
have peace with France as well as
Belgian soil freed of Germans without
shedding another drop of blood,
Philip Sheidemann, Socialist leader

The meeting was marked by the
announcement from National Liberal
Basserman that the main committee
of the Reichstag had reached no con-
clusion in its decision of the ques-
ton Of rcyiying submarine warfare,
but had agreed that there should be
no public discussion of the question
in the Reichstag.
What Is French will stay French;
what is Belgian will stay Belgian, and
what is German will stay German

peace will be constructed, said Sheide-

DETACHMENT is PREDICTED TO
COME BY FIRST OF NEXT
YEAR.
ALL FACTIONS AGAINST HIM
Wild Scramble for Power to Follow
minstion-Arredondo to Tell
Joint Commission of Internal
Mexican Affairs.

Washington.-Extr disquieting
reports from Mexico City reached this
city from half dozen sources. They
indicate that General Carranza finally
has alienated practically all of his
former loyal military supporters. His
elimination as factor in Mexican
affairs is declared to be certain be-
fore the first Of the year. Some Of
the reports reaching here have him
actually in flight from Mexico City,
but this is not confirmed or generally
credited.
What the outcome will be If Car
rama is overthrown is hard to fore
cast There is little doubt that an
other wild scramble for power with
at least half dozen entries would
result. Obregon would be the lead
er from the military standpoint, but
he would control only his own per
sOnal following. Villa naturally
would become a factor while Gen.
eral Trevino, Felix Diaz and others
of lesser Importance would strive to
get control of the government. All
Of the new facts have been sent to
the Mexican joint commission, now
in session in Atlantic City, for its
suidance In addition, Ambassador
Designate Arredondo is expected to
go there shortly to tell of conditions
as he observed them in Mexico.

.GERARD'S REAL MISSION
DENIAL WAS TRUE ONLY IN
DIPLOMATIC SENSE.
Feared That Publicity as to Berlins
U-5oat Threat Might Cause
Resentment.

New York, N. Y.-Not until "a
hours after publication that the big
purpose of Ambassador Gerard's visit
to this country was to report on the
menace TO our relations with Ger
many, lying in the probability of the
resumption of ruthless U-boat war
fare by the kaiser's navy, did the am
bassador utter a diplomatic denial'
of that statement, which previously
had been given complete although in
direct confirmation.
Mr.. Gerard was induced to make
the denial because it was feared in
Washington that the frankness with
which the matter had been treated
might create resentment and embar.
rassment in Germany if it were given
too much of an official sanction.
The danger of the submarine situa.
ton was the high point in the discus.
sion Mr.. Gerard had with Secretary
of State Lansing which was repeated
later to the president at Shadow
Lawn.
Even before Secretary Lansing had
received the ambassadors report, the
news from Berlin had appraised the
secretary of the true state of affairs,
which had been carefully suppressed
for the last three months by rigid
political censorship.
Mr. Gerard did not come home for
a vacation, although he has not had
one for three years. He came only
because Washington deemed it wise
to have him report in person on the
perplexing questions that remain un-
settled between the two countries, and
even when instructions came for him
to return he was loath to leave Ber-
lin at the time.
