CHAPTER xx1v (continued).

Duane returned to the door. He
rould 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 unnatural
strain.
AT a few minutes before half past 2,
q dark, compact body of horsemen APP
teared far down, turning into the road.
They came at a sharp trot-a group
that would have attracted attention
anywhere at any time. They came a
faster still; now they were four blocks
away, now three, now two. Duane
backed down the middle of the vesti-
bule. up the steps, and halted in the
center of the wide doorway.
There seemed to be a rushing 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
limbed. dusty bay horses. There was

Ono instant Poggin looked up and
Duane looked down.
Like a striking jaguar Poggin moved.
Almost as quickly Duane threw his
arm.
The guns doomed almost together.
Duane felt a blow just before he
pulled tho trigger. His thoughts came
fast, like the strange dots before his
eyes. His rising gun had loosened in
his hand. Poggin had drawn quicker!

MILLIONS IN BOTTLE CAP
Jewish Pedd!er staked Savings on
Baltimore Mans Invention, and
Made Much Money.

How many persons, householders or
others, who have had occasion to re-
move the little tin caps from catsup or
other bOttles-beer bottles, for that
matter-ever gave a thought to the
little wrinkled edge affair hat keeps
the contents from the air and holds
it in it's original form? It's Il good
guess that not in IL thousand. It's
IN u~npretending little affair, but it has
"a most interesting history, SO far sa
results count.
1t was upward of a quarter of Il CEN
fury ago that n man named TaintOr of
Baltimore bethought himself of the
cap and succeeded in bringing it to a
successful demonstration. He was a
poor man, and it was uphill work try
ing to 'interest moneyed men in his in
vention. A travelling Jew peddler of
jewlery and "nicknacks," by the name
of Friedenwaldt, became interested,
took his years of savings. amounting to
some $4,000, from the bank, and in
vested in the invention.
Years went by and the peddler lived
to see factories all over the world re-
sulting from his Investment. Good
judges assert that more than $50, OOO,-
coo dollars was divided among those
interested in the simple little device.

him tina fatal day.
"We'l-we'n be married and leave

blood rising rich and dark in her
cheeks.
'Ray!"

huskily. suppose there might be-bs

fathers blood!"
Il pray God there will be. do not
fear what you fear. But even so-he'll

Duane felt h storm rise and break
in him And his terror was that Of
JOY quelling fear. This shining glory
of love in this woman's eyes made him
weak as a child. How could she love
him-how could she so bravely face a
future with him.? Yet she held him
in her arms, twining her hands round
his neck, and pressing close to him.
Her faith and love and beauty-these
she meant to throw between him and
all that terrible past. They were her
power. and she meant to use them all.
He dared not him of accepting her
sacrifice.
But Ray-you dear, noble griffin

You'll forget there. You'll learn to

place. There are groves where the gray
moss blows all day and the nightin-
gales sing all night"
My darling" cried Duane, brokenly.
NO, no, not"
Yet he knew in his heart that he was
Yielding to her, that he could not re-
sist her a moment longer. What was
, this madness of love?
"We1l be happy" she whispered:
Her eyes were closing, heavy lidded.
n she lifted sweet, tremulous, wait
ing lips.
With bursting heart Duane bent to
them. Then he held her. close pressed
to him.. lille 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
stronger than the dark and fateful
passion that had Swallowed his past.

driving, relentless instinct for blood, It
would come back with those pale. drift
