The mo- ment he rode into sight of men a re- markable transformation occurred in him. A strange warmth stirred in him --a longing to see the faces of people, to hear their voiees-a pleasurable emotion sad and strange. But it was only precursor of his old bitter, sleepless, and eternal vigilance.
 Mercer was the first village he rode into He had many friends there. Mercer claimed to owe Duane a debt, On the outskirts of the village there WaS grave overgrown by brush so that the rude-lettered post which marked it was scarcely visible to

Duane met Hardin in the little plaza of the village. called him every naale known to border men, tamted him 10 draw, and killed him in fine act.
 Duane went to the house of one Jones. a Texan who had known his father, and there he WAS warmly re- ceived. The feel of an honest hand, inc voice of friend, the prattle of children who were not afraid of him or his gun, good wholesome food, and change of clothes-theSe things for the time being made a changed man of Duane, To be sure. he did not often speak. Tho price of his head and the weight of his burden made him silent. Ent eagerly he drank in all the news that was told him.

false reports that have been publish

is no foundation for them," he de
clares, yet they seem to have gain

ing treaty between the United States
and Nicaragua contemplates securing
from the latter all rights for building
a canal on its territory"
Such reports. General Goethals
adds, serve to aid shipping companies
to take advantage of present conditi-

and permit an increase in insurance
rates. Tie protests particularly

mot so, my friend. You have half
the coin. It is but counterfeit. The
true half-that half which you sought
in my quarters so feloniously-is in
possession of another"
You mean that wench-that Amer
ican-"
1t was that instant that the heavy
hand of Count Frederick smote him
full in the face. "You shall not men
ton her!" he growled; and the next
instant he had Sachio by the shoul-
ders and was thrusting him with all
his power toward the open door. 1t
had all along been his intention to i'm
prison Sachio here in the torture
chamber.
The next moment Count Frederick
felt at his back the impact of another
man. The three struggled furiously.
Quick! Shoot him!" painted Sachio
''Kill him! I cannot last!"
II am not armed" cried Ladislaw.
''Let me search"
Frederick felt the hands of his new
enemy feeling at his pockets, search
ing fer some weapon, and rejoiced that
he also at the moment was urarmed.
At least the conflict would be more
even now.
But they were more than a match
for him. Count Frederick felt an arm
throttle him, felt his eyes almost
start from his head, felt his breath
leaving him. Slowly slipping, inch by
inch, he felt himself impelled toward
the open door. Strive as best he
could, he found himself unable to re-
sist the joint attack of these two des-
perate men.
A moment later he heard the heavy
c1ang of the door behind him.
He was alone. He had proved the
victim of the plan which he had

He guessed that it might have value

The project looked at him, willing
to punish any who cast slight upon

turn.

The perfect bowed politely as he
might.
Count Frederick only smiled, and
turned toward the door. He stepped
back, gravely, allowing Kitty Gray to
pass. After her followed the faithful
Roleau. Frederick smiled again, and
looked after the two not unhappily,
although he saw where the greater al
legiance of his former servant now
lay.

eagerly, when finally they two were
