It seemed to Duane that she must
have discovered what he had begun
to suspect-that her father and Law
son were not the honest ranchers

Il can go to Ray, tell her that, make
her believe I'd tell it Broadcast tell
this ranger-unless she'd marry me"
Lawson spoke breathlessly, with
haggard face and Swallowed eyes. He
had no shame. He was simply In the
grip Of passion.
Longstreth gazed with dark, con-
trolled fury at this relative. In that
look Duane saw a strong, unscrupu-
1ous man fallen into evil ways, but
still man. 1t betrayed Lawson to
be the wild and passionate weakling.
Like the great majority of evil and
unrestrained men on the border, he
had reached point where influence
was futile. Reason had degenerated.
He saw only himself.
But, Floyd, Rays the one person

who came in to drink and gambl,
were unusually mild in comparison
with former conduct. This lull, how
ever, did not deceive Duane. 1t coule
not last. The wonder was that Il
had lasted SO long.
Duane went often to see Mrs. Lara
mic and her children. One afternoon
while he was there he saw Miss Long
streth and Ruth ride up to the door
They carried a basket. Evidently
they had heard Of Mrs. Laramie's
trouble. Duane felt strangely glad
but. he went into an adjoining room
rather than meet them.
Mrs. Laramie, I've come to see
you," said Miss Longstreth, cheer
fully.
The little room was not very light,
there being only one window and the
doors, but Duane could see plainly
enough. Mrs. Laramie lay, hollow
checked and haggard, ON a bed. Once
she had evidently been a woman of
some comeliness. The ravages of
trouble and grief were there to read
in her worn face; 1t had not, however,
any of the hard and bitter lines that
had characterized her husbands.
Duane wondered, considering that
Longstreth had ruined Laramie, how
Mrs. Laramie was going to regard the
daughter Of an enemy.
$50 you're Granger LOngstreth's
girly' queried the woman, with her
bright, black eyes fixed ON her visitor.
yes" replied Miss Longstreth,
Simply. 'This is my cousin, Ruth
Herbert. We've come to nurse you,

any way you'll let us"
There was long silence.
swell, you look little like Long
streth." finally said Mrs. Laramie,
'but you're not at all like him. You

Longstreth, impressively.
Floyd bowed his head at that, a

Lawson halted in his restless walk
and leaned against the stone mantel-
piece. He had his hands in his peck
cts. He squared himself as If this
was his last stand. He looked desper-
ate, but on the moment showed an
absence Of his usual nervous excite
ment.
"Longstreth, that may well be true,''
he said. mo doubt all you say is
true. But it doesn't help me. Iwant
the girl. If don't get her-I reckon
we'll all go to HE'LL"
Longstreth gave a slight start,
barely perceptible, like the switch Of
an awakening tiger. He sat there head
down, stroking his mustache. Duane's
conviction was that Longstreth right
then and there decided that the thing
to do was to kill Lawson.
Lawson no more caught the fateful
significance of line crossed, a limit
reached, a decree decided than if he
had not been present. He was
obsessed with himself. How, Duane
wondered, had a man of his mind ever
lived so long and gone. so far among
the exacting conditions of the South
west? The answer was, perhaps,
that Longstreth had guided him, up
held him, protected him. The COM
ing of Ray Lorgstreth had been the
of dissension.
You're too inpatient said Long
streth. "Ray might be won. She |
might marry you to save me, but she'd |
hate you. That isn't the way. Wait. |
