On the morning of the twenty-sIxth Duane rode into Bradford in time to catch the early train. His wound did not seriously ircapacitate him. Long, stre:h vas with him. And Miss Long, streth and Ruth Herbert would not be left behind. They were all leaving Fairdale forever. Longstreth had turned over the whole of his property to Morton, who was to divide it as he and his comrades believed just. Duane had left Fairdale with his party by night. passed through Sander son in the early hours of dawn, and reached Bradford as he had planned.
 That fatal morning found Duane outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in a tumult. He wanted to rush to Val Verde. Would Captain MacNeliy be there with his rangers. as Duane had planned for them to be? Memory of that tawny Poggin returned with strange passion. Duane had borne hoors and weeks and months of wait.

 Apparently one side of his mind was unalterably fixed. while the other was hurrying experimentation of flashes of thought, reception of sensations. He could not get calmness. By and by, almost involuntarily. he hurried faster on- Action seemed to make his state less oppressive; 1t eased the weight. But the farther he went on the harder It was to continue.

At length, as he mounted a low ridge. Fairdale lay bright and green before him, not far away, and inc sight was conclusive check. There were mesquites on the ridge, and Duane sought the shade beneath them. It was the noon-hOur. with hot. Slary sun and no wind. Here Duane had to have out his fight. Duane was utterly unlike himself; he could not bring the old self back; he was not the same man he once had been. But he could understand why. It was be cause of Ray LOnGstreth. Temptation assailed him. To have her his wife It was Impossible. The thought was insidiously alluring. Duane pictured q home. He saw himself riding through tho cotton and rice and cane, home to stately old mansion. where long cared hounds bayed him welcome. and a woman looked for him and met him with happy and beautiful smiles. There might-there would be children. And something new. strange. con founding with its emotion. came to life deep in Duane's heart. There would be children, Ray their mother, The kind Of life 2 lonely outcast always yearned for and never had! He saw 1t all. felt 1t all
 But beyond and above all other claims came Captain MacNelly's. It was then there was something cold and deathiike in Duane's soui. For he knew whatever happened. of one thing he was sure-he would have to kill either LOngstreth or Lawson. Longstreth might be trapped into arrest but Law son had no sense. no control, no fear. He would snarl like panther and go for his gun. and he would have to be killed. This, of all consummations, was the one to be calculated upon.
 Duane came out of If all bitter and cniious and sore-in the most Gttin: of moods to undertake difficult and deadly enterprise. He had fallen upon his old. strange. futile dreams, now rendered poignant by reason of love. He drove away those dreams. In their place came the images of the olive skinned Longstreth with his sharp eyes. and the dark, evil-faced Lawson. and then returned tenfold more thrill iLS and sinister the old strange pas si,,n to meet Poggin.
 It was about one o'clock when Duane rode into Fair1ale. The streets for the most part were deserted. He weEg directly to find Morton and Zim- mer. He found them nt length. rest less, somber, anxious, but unaware of the part he had played at Ord. They said Longstretsh was home too. It was possible that Longstreth had ar rived home in ignorance.
