was no gambling and drinking. Time
hung very heavily on the hands of
some twoscore outlaws. Duane, how
ever, found the hours anything but
empty. He spent more time at Mrs.
Bland's; he walked miles on all the
trails leading out of the valley; he had
a care for the conditions of his two
horses.
Upon his return from the latest Of
these tramps Euchre suggested that
they 60 down to the river to the boat
landing.
Nearly all the outlaws in camp were
assembled on the river-bank, lolling in
the shade of the cOttonwOods. The
heat was oppressive.
Duane and Euchre joined the lazy
group and sat down with them.
Euchre lighted a black pipe, and,
drawing his hat over his eyes, lay
back in comfort after the manner of
the majority of the outlaws. But
Duane was alert, observing, thought
full. He never missed anything. 1t
was his belief that any moment an idle
word might be of benefit to him. More
over, these rough men were always in
teresting.
GLANDS been chased acrost the
river" said one.
"Naw, he's deliverin' cattle to thet
Cuban Ship" replied another.
"Big deal on, heyw
"Some big. Rugg says the boss he'd
an order fer fifteen thousand"
"Say, that order II take year to
FILL"
"Naw. Hardin is in cahOOts with
Bland. Between 'em they'll fill orders
bigger n thet."
"Wondered what Hardin was rust
lin in here fer"
Duane could not possibly attend to
all the conversation among the out
laws. He endeavored to get the drift
Of talk nearest to him.
"Kid Fuller's goin' to cash." said a
sandy-whiskered little outlaw.
$50 Jim was telling me. Blood
poison, amt it? Thet hole wasn't bad.
But he took the fever" rejoined a
comrade.
"Deger says the Kid might pull
through if he had nursin'."
oval, Kate Bland amt nursin' any
shot-up boys these days. She hasn't
got time" p
A laugh followed this sally; then
.ame a penetrating silence. Some of
the outlaws glanced gotd-naturedly at
Duane. They bore him no i'll will.
Manifestly they were aware Of Mrs.
BANDS infatuatiOn.
"Boys, poke all the fun you like at
me, but don't mention any lady's name
again. My hand is nervous and itchy
these days."
He smiled as he spoke, and his
speech was drawled; but the good
humer in no wise weakened it. Then

If she's been an you tell me the truth
I'll let you go. I'll send you to Hunts

with your friends. I'll give you

"Thet must hev been a hell of
minnit fer Kate Bland. If ever I seen
death in a mans eye l seen it in
BANDS. He loves her. Thet's the
strange part of it.
"'Has Duane been comm here to

emo said Jennie.
"'He has fallen in love with you?
Kate said thet.'
"T-Tm not-I don't know-he
hasn't told me-
"'But you're in love with him.?
"'Yes,' she said; an, Buck, if you
only could have seen her She throw
ed up her head, an her eyes were full
Of fire. Bland seemed dazed at sight
of her. An Alloway, why, thet little
skunk of an outlaw cried right out.
He was hit plumb center. He's in
love with Jen. An the look of her
then was enough to make any feller
quit. He jest skunk out of the room.
l told you, mebbe, thet he'd been try

SO even tough like Alloway can love
a woman!
"Bland stamped up an down the
room. He sure was dyin' hard.
"'Jennie,' he said, once more turnin'

CHAPTER VIII.

What contrast, Duane thought, the
calm evening of that day presented to
the state Of his soul! This third fac
ing of a desperate man had thrown
him off his balance. It had not been
fatal, but it threatened so much.
Despair had seized upon him and was
driving him into a reckless mood when
he thought of Jennie.
He had forgotten her. He had for
gotten that he had promised to save
her. He had forgotten that he meant
to snuff out as many lives as might
stand between her and freedom. The
very remembrance sheered off his
morbid introspection. She made a
difference. How strange for him to
realize that! He felt grateful to her.
He had been forced into outlawry she
had been stolen from her people and
carried into captivity. They had met
in the river fastness, he to instill hope
into her despairing life, she to be the
means, perhaps, Of keeping him from
sinking to the level of her captors. He
became conscious of a strong and beat
ing desire to see her, talk with her.
These thoughts had run through his
mind while on his way to Mrs. BANDS
house. He had let Euchre go on ahead
because he wanted more time to COM
pose himself. Darkness had about set
in when he reached his destination.
There was no light in the house. Mrs.
Bland was waiting for him on the
porch.
She embraced him, and the sudden,
violent, unfamiliar contact sent such a

Difference. That was his strong point,
and it had made his part easy so far.
He was playing a game of love
playing with life and DEATH What
little communication he had with Jen-
ME was through Euchre, who carried
short messages. But he caught
glimpses of her every time he went
to the Bland house. She contrived
somehow to pass door or window, to
give him look when chance afforded.
Duane discovered with surprise that
these moments were more thrilling to
him than any with Mrs. Bland. Jennie
had been instructed by Euchre to
listen, to understand that this was
Duane's. only chance to help keep her
mind from constant worry, to gather
the import of every word which had
double meaning. And all through
those waiting days he knew that Jen-
MES face, and especially the warm,
fleeting glance she gave him, was re-
sponsible for a subtle and gradual
change in him. This change, he
fancied, was only that through remem-
brance of her he got rid of his pale,
sickening ghosts.
One day a careless Mexican threw
lighted cigarette up into the brush
mating that served as a ceiling for
Benson's den, and there was a fire
which left little more than the adobe
walls standing. The result was that
