CHAPTER XIV.

Duane returned 10 Fairdale and eamped in the mesquite till the twenty third of the month. The few days seemed endless. All he could think of was that the hour In which he must Sisgracc Ray Lonsstreth was slowly but inexorably coming. In that wait ing time he learned what love was and also duty. When the day at last dawned he rode like one possessed down the rough slope, hurling stones and crashing through the bush, with q

seemed haunting and driving him could never be carried out in the mood under which he labored. He hung on to that thought. Several times he slowed up, then stopped. only to go on again. At length. as he mounted a low ridge, Fairdale lay bright and green before him, not far away, and the sight was conclusive check. There were mesquites on the ridge, and Duane sought the shade beneath them. It was the noon-hour, with hot, glary 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 home. He saw himself riding through the 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 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 deathlike in Duane's soul. 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 consummatlons, was the one to be calculated upon.
 Duane came out of it all bitter and callous and sore-in the most fitting 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 ing and sinister the old strange pas sion to meet Poggin.
 It was about one o'clock when Duane rode into Fairdale. The streets for the most part were deserted. He went directly to find Morton and Zim- mer. He found them at length, rest less, somber. anxious, but unaware of the part he had played at Ord. They said Longstrcth was home too. IL was possible that Longstreth had ar rived home in ignorance.
 Duane told them to be on hand in town with their men in case he might need them, and then with his teeth locked he set of for Longstreth's ranch.
 Duane strode through the bushes and trees, and when nearing the porch he heard loud. angry. familiar voices. Longstreth and Lawson were quarrel. ing again. How Duanes lucky star guided him He had no plan for ac- ton but his brain was equal to .

ing, had endured the long hours of the outlaw, but now he had no patience. The whistle of the train made him leap.
 It was fast train, yet the ride seemed slow.
 Duane did not speak to Longstreth and the passengers in the car, changed his seat to one behind his prisoner. The girls sat in a seat near by and were pale but composed.
 Duane did not speak to Longstreth again till the train stopped at Val Verde.
 They got off the car, and the girls followed as naturally as ordinary travellers. The station was a good deal larger. than that at Bradford, and there was considerable action and hustle incident to the arrival of the train.
 Duane's sweeping gaze searched faces, rested upon man who seemed familiar. This fellows look, too, was | that of one who knew Duane, but was waiting for sign, cue. Then Duane, recognized him-MacNelly, clean-shav- en. Without mustache he appeared different, younger.
 When MacNelly saw that Duane in- I tended to greet him, hurried forward | to meet him. 4 keen light flashed from his eyes. He was glad eager, yet suppressing himself, and the 1 Duane to Longstreth were questioning, doubtful Certainly Longstreth did not look the part of an outlaw.
 "Duane. Lord, I'm glad to see you, y was the Captains greeting. Then at closer look into Duane's face his warmth fled-something he saw there checked his enthusiasm. or at least it's utterance.
 "MacNelly, shake hands with Ches eldine," said Duane, low-voiced.
 The ranger stood dumb, motionless But he saw Longstreths instant ac. ton. and awkwardly he reached for the outstretched hand.
 Any of your men down hereT queried Duane, sharply.
 No. They're uptown"
 Come MacNelly, you walk witf him. We've ladies in the party. Fl come behind with them."
 They set off uptown. Longstretf walked as if he were with friends or the way to dinner. The girls were mute. MacNelly walked like a mar in a trance. There was not wort spoken in four blocks.
 Presently Duane espied ston, building on a corner of the broad street. There was big sign, Ranch CTS Bank"

 They crossed the street, wen through office and lobby, and theI Duane asked MacNelly to take then to private room. Without a wore the Captain complied. When the! were all inside Duane closed the door and, drawing a deep breath as if O. relief, he faced them calmly.

 Then Duane briefly related Long streth's story, and, though he did no spare the rustler chief, he was gener ous.

 John Nestor is in receipt of letter from Walter Gaffney who is back again in Cordoya which looks good to him. New canneries have sprung up in that vicinity and as the run of salmon this year was phenomenally large they did a good business. One day the canneries were stocked beyond all possible pack capacity and forty one thou sand salmon had to be dumped out. These fish traps are certainly great conservator of food fish.
