CHAPTER XIV.

West Of the Pecos River Texas ex-
tended a vast wild region, barren in
the north where the Llano Estacado
spread its shifting sands, fertile In the
south along the Rio Grande. A rail-
road marked an Underwriting course
across five hundred miles of this
country, and the only villages and
towns lay on or near this line Of steel.
Unsettled as was this western Texas,
and despite the acknowledged domi-
nance Of the outlaw bands, the
pioneers pushed steadily into 1t.
The Rio Grande flowed almost due
south along the western boundary for
a thousand miles, and then, weary Of
its course, turned abruptly north, to
make what was called the Big Bend.
The railroad, running west, cut across
this bend, and all that country bound
ed on the north by the railroad and
on the south by the river was as wild
as the Staked Plains. Across the face
of this Big Bend, as II to isolate 1t,
stretched the Ord mountain range. In
the valleys Of the foothills and out
across the plains were ranches. and
farther north, villages, and the towns
of Alpine and Maria.
Like other parts Of the great Lone
Star State. this section Of Texas was
q world In itself-a world where the
riches Of the rancher were ever en-
riching the outlaw. The village closest
to the gateway Of this outlaw-infested
region was a little place called Ord,
named after the dark peak that doomed
some miles to the south.
Toward the close Of a day in Sep
TENDER q stranger rode Into Ord, and
In a community where all men were
remarkable for one reason or another
he excited interest. His horse, per-
haps, received the first and most en-
gaging attention-horses In that region
being apparently more important than
men. This particular horse Mt first
glance seemed ugly. But he was a
giant, black as coal, huge In every
way. A bystander remarked that he
had grand head. His face was solid
black, except Ia the middle of his fore
head, where there was a round spot
Of white.
The rider, like his horse, was giant
in stature. but rangier. not SO heavily
built. Otherwise the only striking
thing about him was his somber face
with Its piercing eyes, and hair white
over the temples. He packed two
guns, both low down-but that was
too common thing to attract notice
In the Big Bend. A close observer,
however. would have noted a singular
fact-this riders right hand was
more bronzed. more weather-beaten
than his left. He never wore glove
on that right hardi
tie had dismounted before G. ram

and went on. a "No man on the border

of this service. It's long, long chance

upon the paper. Then with a smile
he handed II to Duane.

light breaking In upon his bewilder-
ment. "You want me for ranger serv-
iceY
"Sure. That's It," replied the
Captain dryly. "Now to hear what
that service Is to be. I've been busy
man since took this Job, and, as you
may have heard, I've done a few
things. I don't mind telling you that

be discontinued or not. I'm on the

produce results. So far I have been

course, are the man / had in mind.
It's my idea to start way up the Rio
Grande and begin with 'Cheseldine.
He's the strongest, the worst outlaw
of the times. He's more than rustler.
It's Cheseldine and his gang who are
operating on the banks. No one seems
to have seen him-to know what he
looks like.
Il assume, of course, that you are a
stranger to the country he dominates.
It's five hundred miles west Of your
ground. There's a little town over
there called Fairdale. It's the nest
Of a rustler gang. They rustic and
murder at will. Nobody knows who
the leader is. I want you to find out.
Well. whatever way you decide Is best
you will proceed to act upon. You are
your own boss. You must find some
way to let me know when and my
rangers are needed. The plan Is to
break up Cheseldlne's gang. It's the
toughest job on the border. We want
to kill or Jail this choice selection of
robbers and break up the rest Of the
gang. To find them, to get among
them somehow, to learn their move

"Your work Will be secret. You are

you money for expenses. You'll start

better. hope to think of other sug'
gestions especially about communl-

Long after the lights were out and
the low hum of voices had ceased
round the campfire Duane lay awake,
eyes staring into the blackness, mar.
yelling over the strange events Of the
day. And as he lay there, with the
approach Of sleep finally dimming the
vividness Of his thought, so full OF
mystery, shadowy faces floated in the
blackness around him, haunting him
as he had always been haunted.
1t was broad daylight when he
awakened. MacNelly was calling him
to breakfast.
The rangers were eating In a circle
round a tarpaulin spread upon the
ground.
Fellows" said MacNelly, "shake
hands with Buck Duane. He's or
secret ranger service for me. Service
that'll likely make you all hump soon
Mind you. keep mum about It."
The rangers surprised Duane with O
roaring greeting, the warmth Of which
he soon OWNED was divided between
pride of his acquisition to their ranks
and eagerness to meet that violent
service of which their captain limited
They were jolly, wild fellows, with
just enough gravity In their welcome
to show Duane their respect and ap-
probation, while not forgetting his
lone-wolf record. When he had seated
himself in that circle, now one OF
them, a feeling subtle and uplifting
pervaded him.
After the meal Captain MacNelly
drew Duane aside.
