CHAPTER |.


So 1t was in him, then-an inherited
fighting instinct. a driving intensity to
kill. He was the last of the Duanes,
that old fighting stock of Texas. But
not the memory of his dead father, nor
the pleading of his soft-voiced mother,
nor the warning of this uncle who
stood before him now, had brought to
Buckley Duane so much realization
of the dark, passionate strain in his
blood. 1t was the recurrence, a hun
dredfold increased in power, of a
strange emotion that for the last three
years had arisen in him.

"He's got fever that's rampant In
Texas these days, my boy. He wants
gun-play. If he meets you he'll try

Here it stirred in Duane again, that
bursting gush of blood. like wind OF
flame shaking all his inner being, and
subsiding to leave him strangely
chilled.

There was something sincere and
likable about this outlaw.
Il dare say you're right" replied
Duane, quietly. "And I'll go to Mer-
Ger with you"
Next moment he was riding down
the road with Stevens. Duane had
never been much of talker. and now
he found speech difficult. But his
companion did not seem to mind that
He was a jocose, voluble fellow, prob

CHAPTER II.

When Duane came to the gate of
his home and saw his uncle there with
a mettlesome horse, saddled. with can
teen, rope and bags all in place, a
subtle shock pervaded his spirit. 1t
