 His announcement was taken in fb s9lute silence That was the only effect he noted, for he avoided looking at these villagers. The reason WIS simple enough; Duane felf himself overcome with emotion. There were fears III his eyes. He sat down on a bench Pa his elbows oa lis knees and his hands 10 his face. For once he had absolutely Ha concern for his fate. This isnamiay WIS the last straw.
 Presently. however, he became aware ot some kind of eoinmotian among tiFase villagers. He heard whispering, low, h6arsc voices, then the shHflie of rapid feet moving away.

 That appeared te be the cue for pandea9HiHm t0 break loose. Several men lay hold of his arms and pinioned them behind his back Resistance WaS useless even if Duane had had the spirit. One of them fetched his halter from his satitlla and with this they bound him helpless.

CHAPTER XII.

How long Duane was travelling out of that region he never knew. But he reached familiar country and found a rancher who had before beff'iended him. Here his arm was attended to; he had food and sleep; and in couple of weeks he was himself again.
 When the time came for Duane to ride away on his endless trail his friend reluctantly imparted the ih- formation that some thirty miles south, near the village of Shirley, there was posted at certain cross-read q re- ward for Buck Duane dead or alive. Duane had heard of such notices, hut he had never seen one. His friends reluctance and refusal to state for what particular deed this reward was offered reused Dnaue's curiosity. Abruptly he decided to ride over there and find out who wanted him dead or alive, and why.
 Toward afternoon, from the top of a long hill, Duane saw the green fields and trees and shining roofs of town he considered must he Shirley. And at the bottom of the hill he came upon an intersecting road. There was placard nailed on the cross-road sign post. Duane drew rein near it and leaned close to read the faded print "$1. .O6a REWARD FOR BUCK DUANE DEAD QR ALIVE" Peerine closer to read the finer. more fnded print. Duane learned that he was want ed for the murder of Mrs. Jeff Aiken at her ranch near Shirley. The month September was named hut the date was illegible The reward was offered by the woman'S husband, whose name appeared with that of q shcritf's at the bottom of the Ftacard,
 Duane read the thing twice. When he strengthened he was sick with the horror of his fate, wild with passion al those misguided fools who could believe that he had harmed a woman
 \ dark, passionate fury possessed him. It shook him like a storm shakes the oak. Wheneit passed, leaving hlh cold, with clouded brow and piercing eye, him mind was set. Spurrins his horse, he rode straight toward the village.
 Shirley appeared to be large, pre- tentious country town. A branch CT some railroad terminated there. 1he main street was wide, bordered by trees and commodious houses, and many of the stores were of brick. A large plaza shaded by giant cotton wood occupied Il central location.
 Duane pulled his running horse ana halted him, plunging and snorting pe- fore a group of idle men who louh9ea on benches in the shade of spread- ing cottonwood. How many times had Duane seen just that kind of lazy shirt-sleeved Texas group! Not often, however, had he seen such placid, lolling, good-natured men change their expression, their attitude So swiiliy. His advent apparently was momentous. They evidently took him for an un- usual visitor. So far as Duane coulu tell, not one of them recognized him. had a hint of his identity.
 He slid off his horse and threw the lr.dle

life hung by the merest thread. Yet he did not think of that so much as of the brand of a WOman-murderer which might be soon sealed upon him by q frightened, imaginative child.
 Tn crowd trooped apart and closed again. Duane caught a blurred image of a slight girl clinging to Sibert's | 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?" asked Aiken. huskily and low. "Is 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 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 silcnee-of sus- pense.
 Tt ain't him :" cried the child.
 Then Sihert was finging the moose off Duanes neck and unwinding the bonds round his arms. The spellbOund crowd aWoke to hoarse eXclamations.
 See there, my locoed gents, how easy you'd hang the wrong man." hurst out the cowboy. as he made the rope-end hiss. "You-all are q lot of wise rangers. Flaw! haw! :"
 He freed Duane and thrust the bone handled gun back in Duane's holster.
 You 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 had work Buck Duane's named for-which ail he never done. Clear away there Where's his hosS? 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 lift as he went up. Then the cowboys hard face softened in a smile.
 'I reckon it ain't unciyil of me to say-hit that road quick" 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 nuane's knee. In it. uaeonsciously probably, he still held the gun.
 <, 1,rot.5I ,,.ft1, e,;J q believe you're not so black as you've been painted I wish there was time to say more. Tell me this. anyway. Do you know the Ranger Captain Mac Nelly?"
 q do not" replied Duane, in sur prise
 q met him only week ago over in Fairfield, wcm on Aikcn hHrricdly. "fIc declared you never killed my wife. I didn't believe hia-argued with him. We almost had hard words over it. Now-ltm sorry. The last thing he said was: If yon ever see Duane don't kill him. Send him into my camp after dark He meant some- fhtng strange. What can't say. But he was right. and I was wrong If Lucy had hattcd an eye Id have Riled you still wouldn't advise you fo hunt up MacNeily's camp. He's c.oyer. Hayhc ha believes there's no treachery in his new ideas of range tactics. I tell you for ali it's worth Good-hy. May God help you further as he did this day" "
 Duane said good=hy and touched the horse with his spurs.

hours; then skim off the scum. add two

Sentry"
Scovell opened his eyes with start
He had been sleeping, bolt upright, his
rife in his hand, his head nodding up
on his breast-he, Dick Scovell of
Brookline, Massachusetts, an eternity
ago, and now soldier in the Foreign
Legion of France.
He had been sleeping on sentry
duty, crime for which the military
codes of all nations prescribe only one
penalty. 1t is just penalty, for the
sentry has the lives of innumerable
men dependent upon his vigilance.
Yet there was conformation for SEQ
veil. A malignant sergeant, two days
and nights spent on ceaseless trench
work, and then, without the rest that
should have been his, post in this ad-
vanced position among the bush be-
tween the hostile lines. Human nature
could not have endured it; it was no
wonder that the boy had slept.
Scovell opened his eyes with a start.
Before him stood a major general of
the French army, accompanied by two
officers from headquarters.
''Disarm HIM"
One of the officers took the rifle
from Scovell's hands. He placed re-
vOlver against his temple.
March him to headquarters. Well
make quick work of the fellow"
They led him along the edge of the
brush, descended into the winding
communication trenches and proceed
ed in single file, the officer in charge
leading, the two of lower rank moving
with Scovell between them.
Scovell had never been in this part
Of the labyrinth of excavations before.

He sensed dimly that something of
importance must be impending, some
shift of troops, perhaps, preparatory to
an attack.
The party halted in little round ex-
cavation, where half a dozen officers,
all in the uniform of the French gen.
eral staff, awaited them. They rose
and saluted. Scovell could only just
understand the tenor of their rapid

They arranged themselves about a
little table, the general at the head.

sentry duty" said one of the two ju-
Nor officers. Your nationality is Eng
lish?"

1T is useless to deny the offense.
Have you anything to say in extenua-
tom"
Not much" said Scovell. "Only
that should never have been selected
for sentry duty. l had been two days
and night in the trenches. Sergeant
Rigaud had grudge against me-"

"Of which regiment"

The general interposed, frowning
fiercely.
IF you were asleep on sentry duty
there can be only one penalty" he
snarled. But if you are spy you may
save your life by acknowledging all
and giving us information of value as
to the movements of the Germans.
Come, now. are you a German?"
II am an American of the Foreign
Legion" said Scoveil, with a gesture
signifying that the whole process was
useless. He thought of the girl in Bos-
ton. whom he had left after a quarrel
He had not seen her before he sailed
Perhaps they would let him write a
letter
Prove that you are not spy" the
general persisted angrily. What is

A blazing star shell suddenly dis
closed the scene to Scovell's eyes as il
it had been etched in white. He saw
the eager group about him, the atten-
tive faces. Something was hooting
high overhead. :.
