CHAPTER XIV.

Like q swift shadow and as noise
less Duane stole across the level
toward the dark wall Of rock. Every
nerve was a strung wire. For little
while his mind was cluttered and
clogged with whirling thoughts, from
which. like a flashing scroll, unrolled
the long. bafiling order of action. The
game was now in his hands. He must
cross Mount Ord at night. The feat
was improbable, but 1t might be done.
He must ride into Bradford, forty
miles from the foothills, before eight
o'clock next morning. He must tele-
graph MacNelly to be in Val Verde
on the twenty-ffth. He must ride
back to Ord to intercept Knell, face
him. and while the iron was hot strike
hard to win PoRgin's half-won interest
as he had wholly won Fletcher's.
Failing that last, he must let the out
laws alone to bide their time in Ord,
to be free to ride to their new job
In Val Verde. In the meantime he
must plan to arrest Longstreth. It
was magnificent outline, incredible,
alluring. unfathomable in its nameless
certainty. He felt like fate. He
seemed to be the iron consequences
falling upon these doomed outlaws.
Under the wall the shadows were
black. only the tips Of trees and crags
showing, yet he went straight to the
trail. It was merely a grayness be-
tween borders of black. He climbed
and never stopped. It did not seem
steep. His feet might have had eyes.
He surmounted the wall, and, looking
down into the ebony gulf pierced by
one point Of light, he lifted a menac-
ing arm and shook 1t. Then he strobe
on, and did not falter till he reached
the huge shelving cliffs. Here he lost
the trail there was none; but he re-
membered the shapes. the points, the
notches Of rock above. Before he
reached the ruins of splintered ram
parts and jumbles of broken walls the
moon topped the eastern slope of the
mountain. and the mystifying black
ness he had dreaded changed to magic
silver light. It seemed as light as day.
only soft, mellow, and the air held a
transparent sheen. He ran up the bare
ridges and down the smooth slopes,
and, like a goat. jumped from rock to
rock. In this light he knew his way,
and lost no time looking for a trail.
He crossed the divide. and then had
all downhill before him. Swiftly be

leaned against the wall, handsome,
with his dark face and beard like an
aristocrat, resembled many a rich
Louisiana planter Duane had met.
Panhandle Smith carried pots and
pans into the cabin, and cheerfully
called out: IF you gents air hungry
fer grub, don't look fer me to feed
you with q spoon"
The outlaws piled inside, made a
great hustle and clatter as they sat
to their meal. Like hungry men, they
talked little.
Duane waited there for a while. then
guardedly got up and crept round to
the other side of the cabin, After he
became used to the dark again he
ventured to steal along the wall to the
window and peeped In. The outlaws
were in the flrst room and could not
