 q do not" replied Duane, in sur prise.
 "I met him only week ago over in Fairfield" went on Aiken, hurriedly. He declared you never killed my wife. didn't believe him-argued with him. We almost had hard words over it. Now-Im sorry. The last thing he said was: If you ever see Duane don't kill him. Send him into my camp after dark He meant some- thing strange. What-I can't say. But he was right, and I was wrong. If Lucy had batted an eye I'd have killed you. Still, I wouldn't advise you to hunt up MacNelly's camp. He's clever. Maybe he believes there's no treachery in his new ideas of ranger tactics. I tell you for all it's worth. Good-by. May God help you further as he did this day"'
 Duane said good-by and touched the horse with his spurs.
 'So long. Buck" called Sibert, with that frank smile breaking warm over his brown face; and he held his sombrero high.

CHAPTER XIV.

When Duane reached the crossing of the roads the name Fairfield on the sign-pOst seemed to be the thing that tipped the oscillating balance of decision in favor of that direction. If he had been driven to hunt up Jef Aiken. now he was called to find this unknown ranger captain. In Duanes state of mind clear reasoning, com mon sense, or keenness were out Of the question. He went because he felt he was compelled.
 Dusk had fallen when he rode into town which inquiry discovered to be Fairfield.
 There did not appear to be any camp on the outskirts of the town. But as Duane sat his horse, peering around and undecided what further move to make, he caught the glint of fiickering lights through the darkness. Pleading toward them he saw the nov ing forms of men and heard horses. He advanced naturally. expecting any moment 10 be halted.
 "WhO goes there?" came the sharp call out of the gloom.
 Duane pulled his horse. The gloom was impenetrable.
 "One man-alone," replied Duane.
 "What do you wantr'
 I'm trying to find the ranger camp
 You've struck it. Whats your errandT
 T want to see Captain MacNelly."
 "Get down and advance. Slow. Don't move your hands. It's dark, but I can see."
 Duane dIsmounted. and, leading his horse, slowly advanced a few paces. He saw a duly bright object-a gun before he discovered the man who held 1t. A few more steps showed a dark figure blocking the trail. Here Duane halted.
 Here, ranger, understand this My visit Is peaceful-friendly if you'll let 1t be. Mind, I was asked to come hereafter dark"
 Duane's clear, penetrating voice carried far. The listening rangers at the campfire heard what he said.
 "Ho, Pickensi Tell that fellow 70 wait" replied an authoritative voice. Then a slim figure detached itself from the dark, moving group at the campfire and hurried out.
 Better be foxy, Cap" shouted . ranger, in warning.
 "Shut up-all of you" was the re- ply.
 This officer. obviously Captain Mac Nelly, soon joined the two rangers who were confronting Duane. He had no fear. He strode straight up to Duane.
 "Tm MacNelly." he said If you're my man, don't mention your name yet"
 All this seemed strange to Duane. in

 Abe, put the gun down." he said. "It might go on. Here, give it to me. Now. what's wrong? Who's this roped gent. an what's he dOIe?"
 The gaunt fellow. who appeared now about to collapse, lifted a shaking hand and pointed.
 "Thet thar feller-he's Buck Duane!" he panted.
 An angry murmur ran through the surrounding crowd.
 "The rope! The rope! Throw il over branch! String him up!" cried an excited villager.
 Abe, how do you know this fellow Is Buck DuaneT the cowboy asked. sharply.

I grabbed his gun an got the drop on him."
 What the cowboy thought of this was expressed in laugh. His mates likewise grinned broadly. Then the leader turned to Duane.
 Stranger. ! reckon you'd better speak up for yourself" he said.
 That stilled the crowd as no com mand had done. I'm Buck Duane. all right" said Duane, quietly. Tt was this way"
 The big cowboy seemed to vibrate with shock. All the ruddy warmth left his face; his jaw began to bulge {; the corded veins in hIs neck stood out in knots. In an instant he had hard, stern, strange loos. He shot out a powerful hand that fastened in the front of Duane's blouse.
 "Somethin' queer here. But If you're Duane you're sure in bad. Any fool ought to know that. You mean it, thenT'
 "Tm Duane; yes. But I won't stand for the blame of things I never did. That's why I'm here. I saw that pla- card out there offering the reward. Until now I never was within half a days ride of this town. I'm blamed for what never did. rode in here. told who I was, asked somebody 10 send for Jeff Aiken"
 An then you set down an let this old guy throw your own gun on your queried the cowboy in amazement.

 A morlentary silence was broken by SIbert.
 If this isn't a queer deal! Boys, reckon we'd better send for Jeff."
 Somebody went fer him. He'll be comin' soon," replied a man.
 Duane stood head taller than that circle of curious faces. He gazed out above and beyond them. It was in this way that he chanced to see a number of women on the outskirts of the crowd. Some were old. with hard

The Rio Grande and It's tributaries for the most of their length in Texas ran between wide, low, flat lands COW cred by dense growth of willow. Cottonwood, mesquite. prickly pear. and other growths mingled with the willow. and altogether they made a matted tangled copse, a thicket that an inexperienced man would have considered impenetrable.
 The depths of this brake Duane had penetrated was q silent dreamy. strange place. In the middle of the day the light was weird and dim. When a breeze fluttered the foliage. then slender shafts and spears of sun shine pierced the green mantle and danced like gold on the sroand.
 Duane had always feIt the strange ness of this kind of place, and like wise he had felt a protecting. harbor- ing something which always seemed to him to be the sympathy of the brake for hunted creature. Any UnwOund- ed creature, strong and resOurceful, was safe when he had glided under the low, rustling green roof of this wild covert.
 Duane wanted to cross the river If that was possible, and, keeping in the brake, work his way upstream till he had reached country more hospit- able. He pushed on. His left arm had fo be favored, as he could scarcely move it. Using his right 10 spread the willows. he slipped sideways be- tween them and made fast time. Finally after a toilsOme penetration of still denser brush he broke through to the bank of the river.
 He faced a wide, shallow. muddy stream with brakes on the opposite bank extending like green and yellow

lift as he went up. Then the cowboys hard face softened in a smile.
 'I reckon 1t ain't unciyil of me Co say-hit that road quick!" he said, frankly.
 He led the horse out of the crowd. Aiken joined him, and between them they escorted Duane across the plaza. The crowd appeared irresistlbly drawn to follow.
 Aiken paused with his big hand on Duane's knee. In it, unconsciously probably. he still held the gun.
 "Duane, a word with you" he said. "I believe you're not so black as you've

wall. Duane perceived at a glance the futility of his trying to cross at this point. Everywhere the sluggish water Iaved quicksand bars. Before leaving the bank he tied his hat upon . pole and lifted enough water to quench his thirst. Then he worked his way back to where thinner growth made advancement easier, and kept on upstream till the shadows were so deep he could not see. Feeling around for . place big enough to stretch out on. he lay down. For the time being he was as safe there as he would have been beyond in the Rim Rock. He was tired, though not exhausted. and In spite of the tbsobbing pain in his arm he dropped t once iato sleep. ...
