unusually tall figure. When 1t ap-
peared nearer he was seen to be walk
ing with both arms raised, hands high.
He slowed his stride.
"Does Burt Jones live here?" he
asked, in a low, hurried voice.
II reckon. I'm Burt. What can
do for you?" replied Jones.
The stranger peered around, stealth
lily came closer, still with his hands up.
1T is known that Buck Duane Is
here. Captain MacNelly's camping on
the river just out of town. he sends
word to Duane to come out there after
dark"
The stranger wheeled and departed
as swiftly and strangely as he had
come.
"Bust me! Duane, whatever do you
make of that?" exclaimed Jones.
"A new one on me-" replied Duane,
thoughtfully.
"First fool thing ever heard OF
MacNelly doing. Can't make head nor
tails of it. I'd have said off-hand
that MacNelly wouldn't double-cross
anybody. He struck me square man,
sand all through. But hell! he must
mean treachery. can't see anything
else in that DEAL"
Maybe the Captain wants to give
me q fair chance to surrender without
bloodshed," observed Duane. "Pretty
decent of him, If he meant that"
"He invites you to come to his camp
after dark. Something strange about
this, Duane. But MacNelly's a new
man out here. He does some queer
things. Perhaps he's getting a swelled
head. Well, whatever his Intentions
his presence around Mercer Is enough
for us. Duane, you hit the road and
put some miles between you and the
amiable Captain before daylight. To-
morrow I'll 60 out there and ask him
what in the devil he meant"
'That messenger he sent-he was a
ranger" said Duane.
"Sure he was, and nervy one! 1t
must have taken sand to come bracing
you that way. Duane, the fellow
didn't pack q gun. I'll swear to that.
Pretty odd, this trick. But you can't
trust it. Hit the road, Duane"
A little later a black horse with
muffled hoofs, bearing tall dark rider
who peered keenly into every shadow,
trotted down a pasture lane back OF
Jones' house, turned into the road,
and then, breaking into swifter gait,
rapidly left Mercer behind.

hours he did that, dreaming, dreaming
of life he had never tasted and now
never would taste. He thought of her
beauty and sweetness, of the few
things which had come to mean to
him that she must have loved him {;
and he trained himself to think OF
these in preference to her life at
BANDS, the escape with him, and
then her recapture, because such men,
cries led to bitter, fruitless pain. He
had to fight suffering because it was
eating out his heart.
Sitting there, eyes wide open, he
dreamed of the old homestead and his
white-haired mother. He saw the old
home-life, sweetened and filed by dear
new faces and added joys, go on be-

CHAPTER XII.

Next morning Duane was Off again,
working south. During the next few
days he paid brief visits to several
villages that lay in his path. And In
each some particular friend had a
piece of news to impart that made
Duane profoundly thoughtful. A
ranger had made quiet, unObtrusive
call upon these friends and left this
message, '"Tell Buck Duane to ride
into Captain MacNelly's camp some
time after night"
Duane concluded, and his friends oil
agreed with him, that the new rangers
main purpose In the Nueces country
was to capture or kill Buck Duane,
and that this message was simply IN
original and striking ruse, the daring
Of which might appeal to certain out
laws.
But it did not appeal to Duane. Ills
curiosity was aroused; it did not, how
ever, tempt him to any foolhardy net.
He turned southwest and rode hun
dred miles until he again reached the
sparsely settled country. Here he
heard no more OF rangers.
He got into rough country, rode for
three days without covering much
ground, but believed that he was get
ting on safer territory. Twice he came
to a wide bottom-land green with Will
low and cottonwood and thick as
chaparral, somewhere through the
middle of which ran a river he de-
"ided must be the lower Nueces.
One evening as he stole out from
q covert where he had camDed, he saw
the lights of a village. He tried to
pass it on the left, but as he mounted
q ridge he noted that the road made
sharp turn, and he could not see what
was beyond it. He slowed up and
was making the turn, which was down.
hill between high banks Of yellow
clay, when his mettlesOme horse heard
something to brighten him or SHE'D at
something and boltcd.
The few bounds he took before
Duane's iron arm checked him were
enough to reach the curve. one
flashing glance showed Duane the open
once more, little valley below with
wide, shallow, rocky stream, clump
Of cottonwoods beyond, q somber
group Of men facing him, and two
dark, limp strangely grotesque figures
hanging from branches.
The sight was common enough IN
southwest Texas, but Duane had never
before found himself SO unpleasantiy
close.
A hoarse voice pealed out: 'By hell
there s another one!"
stranger, ride down an account Ter
YOURSELF" yelled another,
'Hands-up!"
"Thet's right, JACK; don't take no
chances. Plug him!"
These remarks were so swiftly ut
tered as almost TO be continuous,
Duane was wheeling his horse when q
rifle cracked. The bullet struck his
left forearm and he thought broke it,
for he dropped the rein. The frighten-
