to love my home. IT'S beautiful old
place. There are groves where the
gray moss blows all day and the night
ingales sing all night"
MY darling!" cried Duane, broken
ly. mo, no, no."
Yet he knew in his heart that he
was yielding to her, THAI he could not
resist her Il moment longer. What
was this madness Of love?
"Well be happy" she whispered.
"Oh, know. Come !-come!- come"
Her eyes were closing, heavy-lidded,
and she lifted sweet, tremulous, wait
ing lips.
With bursting heart Duane bent to
them. Then he held her, close pressed
to him, while with dim eyes he looked
out over the line Of low hills in the
west, down where the sun was setting
gold and red, down over the Nueces
and the wild brakes Of the Rio Grande
which he was never to see again.
1t was in this solemn and exalted
moment that Duane accepted happi-
ness and faced new life, trusting this
brave and tender woman to be strong
er than the dark and tateful passion
that had shudowed his past.
It would come back--tLat wind of
fame, that madness to forget, that
driving, relentless instinct for blood.
It would come back with those pale,
drifting, haunting faces and the ac-
cusing fading eyes, but ali his life,
always between them and him, render
ing them powerlcss, would be the faith
and love and beauty Of this noble
woman.

Miss Longstreth has been almost

"Have I-a-chance-to recovery?
'Chance? Why man." exclaimed the
captain, "youll get we'll! You'll pack
sight Of lead all your life. But you
can stand that. Duane, the whole
Southwest knows your story. You
need never again be ashamed of the
name Buck Duane. The brand out
law is washed out. Texas believes
you've been secret ranger all the
time. You're hero. And now think
Of home, your mother, of this noble
girl-of your future"
The rangers took Duane home to
Wellston.
A railroad had been built since
Duane had gone into exile. Wellston
had grown. A noisy crowd surround
ed the station, but it Stilled as Duane
was carried from the train.
A sea Of faces pressed close. Some
were faces he remembered-schOol
mates, friends, old neighbOrs. There
was an uplifting Of many hands.
Duane was being welcomed home to
the town from which he had fled. A
deadness within him broke. This well
come hurt him somehow, quickened
him; and through his cold being, his
weary mind, passed change. His
sight dimmed.
Then there was a white house, his
old home. How strange, yet how real
His heart beat fast. Had so many,
many years passed? Familiar yet
strange it was, and all seemed magni-
fed.
They carried him in, these ranger
comrades, and laid him down, and
lifted his head upon pillows. The
house was still, though full Of people.
Duane's gaze sought the open door.
Someone entercd-a tall girl in
white, with dark wet eyes and light
upon her face. She was leading an
old lady, gray-haircd, austerc-faccd,
somber and sad. HIS mother! She
was feeble, but she walked erect. She
was pale, shaking, yet maintained her
dignity.
Then someone in white uttered q
low cry and knclt by Duanc's bed.
His mother flung wide her arms with
strange gesture.
"This man! II ey've not brought
back my boy. This mans his father!
Where is my son? My son-oh, my
son !"
When Duane grew stronger 1T was
a pleasure to lie by the west window
and watch Uncle Jim whittle his stick
and listen to his talk. The old man
was broken now. He told many in
teresting things about people Duane
had knOwn-peOple who had grown UP
and married, failed, succeeded, gone
away, and died. But it was hard to
keep Uncle Jim off the subject OF
guns, outlaws. fights. He could not
seem to divine how mention Of these
things hurt Duane. Uncle Jim Was
childish now, and he had great price
in his nephew. He wanted to near

two. He went through the door into
/ the vestibule, looked around, passed
up the steps into the bank. The clerks
were at their desks, apparently busy.
But they showed nervousness. The
cashier paled at sight Of Duane. There
were men-the rangers-crouching
down behind the low partition. All
the windows had been removed from
the iron grating before the desks.
The safe was closed. There was no
money in sight. A customer came in,
spoke to the cashier, and was told to
come tomorrow.
Duane returned to the door. He
could see far down the street, out
into the country. There he waited,
and minutes were eternities. He saw
no person near him; he heard no
sound. He was insulated in his un-
natural strain.
At a few minutes before half past
two dark, compact body Of horsemen
appeared far down, turning into the
road. They came at sharp trot--
a group that would have attracted
attention anywhere at any time. They
came a little faster as they entered
town; then faster still; now they were
four blocks away, now three, now two.
Duane backed down the middle Of the
vestibule, up the steps, and halted
in the center of the wide doorway.
There seemed to be rustling in his
ears through which pierced sharp,
ringing clip-clop of iron hoofs. He
could see only the corner of the street.
But suddenly into that shot lean
limbcd dusty bay horses. There was
a gathering Of nervous hoofs pulled
to halt.
Duane saw the tawny Poggin speak to
his companions. He dismounted quickly.
They followed suit. They had the man.
ner of ranchers about to conduct some
business. No guns showed. Poggin
started leisurely for the bank door,
quickening step little. The others,
close together, came behind him.
Blossom Kane had bag in his left
hand. Jim Fletcher was left at the
curb, and he had already gathered up
the brides.
Poggin entered the vestibule first.
with Kane on one side, Boldt on the
other, q little in the rear.
AS he strobe in he saw Duane.
"Hells Fret" he cried.
Something inside Duane burst, pierre
ing all Of him with cold. Was it that
fear?
"Buck Duane!' echoed Kane.
One instant Poggin looked up and
Duane looked down.
Like striking jaguar Poggin NOV
ed. Almost as quickly Duane threw
his arm.
The guns doomed almost together.
Duane felt a blow just before he
pulled trigger. His thoughts came
fast, like the strange dots before his
eyes. His raising gun had lOosened
in his hand. Poggin had drawn quick
er! A tearing agony cncompassed his
breast. He pulled-pulled-at ran
dom. Thunder Of booming shots all
about him! Red flashes, jets Of
smoke, shrill yells He was sinking.
The end; yes, the end! With fading
sight he saw Kane go down, then
Boldt. But supreme torture, bitterer
than death, Poggin stood, name like
lions, back to the wall, bloody-faced,
grand, with his guns spouting red!
All faded, Garkened. The thunder
deadened. Duane fell, seemed float
ing. There it drifted-Ray Long

tragic eyes, fading from his sight

mind the image of Poggin-Poggin had
sent the cold sickness of fear to his
marrow. There was horrible thrill
in his sudden remembrance that
POggin likewise had been taunted with
fear of him. The dark tide over
whelmed Duane, and when he left
the room he was fierce, implacabls,
stecled to any outcome, quick like &
panther, somber as death, in the thrall
of this strange passion.
There was no excitement in the
street. He crossed to the bank corner.

Duane suddenly thought she was

Duane suddenly thought she was
going to faint. He OWNED then that
she had understood hin, would have
denied him nothing, not even her life,
; in that moment. But she was over
come, and he suffered pang Of regret
at his unrestraint.
Presently she recovered, and she
drew only the closer, and leaned upon
him with her face upturned.
He felt her hands on his, and they
were soft, clinging, strong, like steel
under velvet. He felt the rise and
NOR ran over him. He tried to draw
back, and if he succeeded a little her
form swayed with him, pressing closer
She held her face up, and he was COM
PEELED to look. It was wonderful now :
white, yet glowing, with the red lips
parted, and dark eyes alluring. But
that was not all. There was passion,
unquenchable spirit, woman's resolve,
deep and mighty.
II love you, Duane!" she said. "For
my sake don't go out to meet this out
law face to face. It's something wild
in you. Conquer it if you love me-"
Duane became suddenly weak, and
when he did take her into his arms
again he scarcely had strength to lift
her to a seat beside him. She seemed
more than a dead weight. Her calm
ness had fled. She was throbbing, pal
pitating, quivering, with hot, wet
cheeks and arms that clung to him
like vines. She lifted her mouth to
him, whispering, kiss mel" She
meant to change him, hold him.
Duane bent down, and her arms
went round his neck and drew him
close. With his lips on hers he seemed
to float away. That kiss closed his
eyes, and he could not lift his head.
He sat motionless, holding her, blind
and helpless, wrapped in sweet, dark
glory. She kissed him-one long, end
less kiss-or else a thousand times.
Her lips, her wet cheeks, her hair, the
softness, the fragrance of her, the ten
der clasp Of her arms, the swell of
her breast-al these seemed to incIose
him.
Duane could not put her from him.
He yielded to her lips and arms,
watching her, involuntarily returning
her careSses, sure now of her intent,
fascinated by the sweetness Of her,
bewildered, almost lost. That was
His years of outlawry had blotted out
any boyish love he might have known.
This was what he had to give up
all this wonder Of her sweet person,
this strange fire he feared yet
loved, this mate his deep and tortured
soul recognized. Never until that
moment had he OWNED the meaning
of woman to a man. That meaning
was spiritual in that he saw there
might have been for him, under hap
pier circumstances, a life OF noble
deeds lived for such woman.
''Don't go! Don't go!' she cried,
as he started violently.
II must. Dear, good-by. Remember
I loved you!"
He pulled her hands loose from his,
stepped back.
cray, dearest-I believe-I'll come
back!" he whispered.
These last words were falsehcod.
He reached the door, gave one last
piercing glance to fix forever in men,
ory that white face with it's dark,
staring, tragic eyes.
"Duane!"
He fled with that moan like thunder,
death, hell in his ears. To forget her,
to get back his nerve, he forced into

SENATE TO PUSH
NAVAL MEASURE.
Will Back Tillman's Proposition to
Raise Next Years Building
Program.

Record breaking action on the naval
bill is now promised in the United
States Senate The Senate Naval At
fairs Committee will take up the House
naval bill next Tuesday, when all the
members are expected back TO Wash
ington from the conventions.
A careful poll of the committee has
shown that it will almost unanimously
back Senator Tillman's proposal to
raise next years building program to
six battle cruisers and two dread
naughts, in place of five battle cruisers
and no dreadnaughts, as provided by
the House The agreement on these
essential points will make it only a
a matter of few days to work out de-
tails of the bill.
When the committee reports the bill
it will have the right of way over all
other legislation. according to decree
of the Democratic steering committee.
As the bill promises to contain sub
stantially the program recommended
by the House Republicans, it is assured
of nearly solid Republican support.
Whatever opposition there will come
from the little navy" Democrats.
Prediction has been made that the de-
bate on the bill will not occupy more
than week.

u. S. ORDERS 20 AEROPLANES
Total of 30 in a Month Club
Urges SIS, 600, 900 for Fliers.

The Aero Club, of America, has re-
ceived information that orders for
twenty aeroplanes were placed by the
War Department during the last week
This brings the total for month up
to thirty machines.
The recent order calls for eight Mar
tin biplanes and twelve Sloane-Day BIZ
planes. Six Martin machines will be
sent to the San Diego school. Two
Martin seaplanes will go to the Philip
pines. 1t is believed that when the
army appropriation bill comes before
the House on June 81 Congress will
allow at least $5,0O0,000 for aeronau-
tics in the army and militia.
The Aero Club has sent letters to
members of Congress, pointing out
that to carry out the modest provisions
Of the Chamberlain-Hay army reorgan-
iation bill, signed by President Wilson
but minus the necessary appropria-
tons, it will require at least $3,200'000
for aercplanes alone. The bill pro-
vides for the organization of eight aero
squadrons, which cannot be organized
and maintained for less than $780,
600 squadron.
The Aero Club of America is also
urging the acquisition Of dirigibie bal
looms and kite balloons. to cost at least
$4,000 900.
