life hung by the merest thread. Yet
he did not think of that so much as
of the brand Of a womat-murderer
which might be soon sealed upon
him by a frightened, imaginative child.
TIL crowd trooped apart and closed
again. Duane caught blurred image
of a slight girl clinging to Siberts
hand. He could not see distinctly.
Aiken lifted the child, whispered sooth-
ingly to her not to be afraid. Then
he fetched her closer to Duane.
"Lucy, tell me. Did you ever see
this man before?s asked Aiken, huskily
and low. els he the one-who came
in the house that day-struck you
down-and dragged mama--?'
Aiken's voice failed.
A lightning flash seemed to clear
Duane's blurred sight. He saw a
pale. sad face and violent eyes fixed
In gloom and horror upon his. No
horrible moment in Duane's life ever
eQualed this one of silence--of sus-
pense.
'.It amt him. cried the child.
Then Sibert was flinging the moose
off Duane's neck and unwinding the
bonds round his arms. The spellbound
crowd awoke to hoarse EXPLANATIONS.
"See there, my locoed gents. how
easy you'd hang the wrong man."
burst out the cowboy, as he made the
rope-end hiss. "You-all are lot of
wise rangers. Haw! haw!"
He freed Duane and thrust the bone
handled gun back in Duane's holster.
"Ydu Abe, there. Reckon you pulled
stunt! But don't try the like again.
And, men, I'll gamble there's hell OF
a lot of bad work Buck Duane's named
for-which all he never done. Clear
away there. Where's his boss? Duane,
the roads open out Of Shirley"
Sibert swept the gaping watchers
aside and pressed Duane toward the
horse, which another cowboy held.
Mechanically Duane mounted, felt q
lift as he went up. Then the cowboys
hard face softened In smile.
II reckon it amt tlncivil Of me to
say-hit that road qufck!" 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 irresistibly 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.
II believe you're not so black as you've

"He declared you never killed my wife.

We almost had hard words over 1t.
Now-rm sorry. The last thing he
said was: II you ever see Duane

thing strange. What-I can't say.
But he was right, and I was wrong.

to hunt up MacNelly's camp. He's

treachery in his new ideas Of ranger
tactics. 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.

that frank smile breaking warm over
his brown face; and he held MS
sombrero high.

Aiken nodded coolly. Duane. who

these, recognized the spirit that domi-

passionless. There were lines Of bitter
grief deep round his lips. If Duane
ever felt the meaning Of death he felt

While some uncertainty exists as to
just when and where Jess Willard will
defend his heavyweight title during
1916, there appears to be little doubt
that the champion will be seen in one
on more battles during the coming IL
months. There is also some question
as to which Of the challengers for the
title will be accorded first chance to
meet Willard in the ring.
If height, strength and youth were
the only qualifications necessary to
insure their possessor the right to
meet the champion in the squared cir
Gle, Wizards prospects for a busy sea-
son would be extremely bright. Not
withstanding the enormous proportions
of the present champion, he is not the
only giant in his class for the heavy
weight field today consists of bigger
men than ever before in the history
of the ring. Willard stands six feet
six inches. and weighs close to 24O
pounds, when in condition.
In the olden days of pugilism he
would have lowered above the aver
age heavyweight like Goliath among
pySmies. Such is not the case at
present, however. for there are sew
eral candidates for the title who,
in many respects. Lee Bodin, one
of the latest aspirants for ring hon.
ors, stands six feet, six and a half
inches; Fred Fulton is six feet four
and half inches; Cowler six feet
three and a half inches; Weinert six
feet two and a half inches; Coffey
six feet one and half inches; Moran,
six feet one inch; Harry Wills, the
negro heavy, six feet two inches;
Georges Carpenter, now serving in
the French army. five feet eleven and
a half inches; while Gunboat Smith
Is the smallest of the group, being
but five feet, eleven inches.
Among the older school of heavy
weights Jeffries and Corbett alone APP
preached in height the big men who
today are fighting In the same class.
Jeffries stood six feet one and a half
inches when at the top Of his ring
career. Corbett measured six feet one
inch when he defeated Sullivan, who
was but five feet ten and a half inch
es Jack Johnson was half an inch
over six feet; Fftzsimmons a quarter

there were no serious obstacles in the
