| The outlaw had a bloody foam on his
| lips and he was splitting blood
"Oh. why didn't you say sol" cried
Duane. 81 never thought. You seemed
all right"
"Wal, Luke Stevens may be MS gabby
as an old woman, but sometimes he
doesn't say anythin'. 1t wouldn't have
done no good"
Duane babe him sit down, removed
his shirt. and washed the blood from
his breast and back. Stevens had been
shot in the breast, fairly low down,
and the bullet had gone clear through
him. His ride, holding himself and
that heavy pack in the saddle, had
been a feat little short of marvellous.
Duane did not see how 1t had been
possible, and he felt no hope for the
outlaw. But he plugged the wounds
and bound them tightly.

said. me an him fell out over a boss

you think of this hole?"
'It's pretty bad" replied Duane !;
and he could not look the cheerful out
law in the eyes.
II reckon it is. Wal, I've had some
bad wounds lived over. Guess mebbe

ane sharply.
"Shore. You see I can't keep up
with you. Brown an his friends will
foller us acrost the river a ways.
You've got to think of number one in
this game"
''What would you do In my case?"
asked Duane curiously.
wal, reckon I'd clear out an save
my hide" replied Stevens.
Duane felt inclined TO doubt the out
laws assertion. For his own part, he

speech. First he watered the horses,
filed canteens and water bag. and then
tied the pack upon his own horse.
That done, he lifted Stevens upon his
horse, and. holding him in the saddle,
turned into the brakes, being careful
to pick out hard or grassy ground that
left little signs of tracks. Just about
dark he ran across trail that Ste
vens said was good one to take into
the wild country.
"Reckon we'd better keep right on
in the dark-till l drop" continued
Stevens. with laugh.
All that night Duane, gloomy and
thoughtful, attentive to the wounded
outlaw, walked the trail and never
halted. Dawn caught the fugitives at

"When the moneys gone how will

oval, I'm pretty pore. but you'll
never starve while got anythin'."
Here 1t struck Buck again-that
something human and kind and eager
which he had seen in Stevens. Duane's
estimate of outlaws had lacked this
quality. He had not accorded them
any virtues.
''Pm much obliged to you, Euchre,"
replied Duane. But of course I won't
live with anyone unless 1 can pay my
share"
"Have it any way you like, my son."
said Euchre, good-humoredly. "You
make fire, an I'll set about gettin'
grub. I'm a sour-dough, Buck. Thet
man doesn't live who can beat my
bread"
"How do you ever pack supplies
in hereT asked Duane, thinking of the
almost inaccessible nature of the val
ley.
Some comes across from Mexico,
an the rest down the river. That
river trip is bird. It's more'n five
hundred miles to any supply point.
Bland has mozos, greaser boatmen.
Sometimes. too, he gets supplies in
from down-river. You see, Bland sells
thousands of cattle in Cuba. An all
this stock has to go down by boat to
meet the ships'
Where on earth are the cattle
driven down to the riverg asked
Duane.
"Thet's not my secret" replied Eu-
chre shortly. Fact is, don't know.
I've rustled cattle for Bland, but he
never sent me through the Rim Rock
with them"
Duane experienced a sort of pleas
ure in the realization that interest had
been stirred in him. He was curious
about Bland and his gang, and glad to
have something to think about. For
every once in a while he had a sensa-
ton that was almost like a pang. He
wanted to forget. In the next hour he
did forget, and enjoyed helping in the
preparation and eating of the meal.
Euchre, after washing and hanging up
the several utensils, put on his hat and
turned to go out.
Come along or stay here, as you
want" he said to Duane.
I'll stay" rejoined Duane slowly.
The old outlaw left the room and
trudged away, whistling cheerfully.

"Jeb" Stuart is Haia's Idol.

Gen. Sir Douglas Haig is said to
deem the Confederate ]. E. B. Stuart
the supreme cavalry genius Of the
nineteenth century. When he was gen.
eral officer commanding at Aldershot
Haig impressed the details Of Stuart's
career upon his staff. Haig's failure
to achieve promotion to the very high
est command earlier In his career-the
chief is 56, nearly-is ascribed to that
heresy prevalent on the subject OF the
cavalry against which Haig's own car
eer has been one long protest. He is at

the belated discovery in Europe of the
real lesson Of the civil war in America
The personality Of Haig has much in
common with another of his heroes

Confederate leader. Haig has marked
strain Of evangelical piety. He has a
serious style of speech and touch of

the whole he is somber, like jackson.
rather than dashing, in the fashion OF
Stuart, the pair whom he seems to

sometimes reveals it through the me-
