DO YOU know the Ranger Captain Mac

Fairfield" went on Aiken, hurriedly.
"He declared you never killed my wife.
I didn't believe him-argued with him.
We almost had hard words over IT..
Now-Im sorry. The last thing he
said was: If you ever see Duane
don't kill him. Send him INTO my
camp after dark!' He meant some
thing strange. WHAT can't say.
But he was right, and I was wrong.
If Lucy had batted an eye I'd have
killed you. Still, I wouldn't advise you
to hunt up MacNelly's camp. He's
clever. Maybe he believes there's no
treachery in his new ideas Of ranger
tactics. I tell you for all It's worth
Good-by. May God help you further
as he did this day!"
Duane said good-bE and touched the
horse with his spurs.

that frank smile breaking warm over
his brown face; and he held MS
sombrero high.

CHAPTER XIV.

When Duane reached the crossing
of the roads the name Fairfield on
the sign-post seemed to be the thing
that tipped the oscillating balance OF
decision in favor of that direction. Ii
he had been driven to hunt up Jen
Aiken, now he was called to find this
unknown ranger captain. In Duanes
state of mind clear reasoning, COM
mon sense, or keenness were out OF
the question. He went because he felt
he was compelled.
Dusk had fallen when he rode into
town which inquiry discovered to
be Fairfield.
There did not appear to be any
camp on the outskirts Of the town.
But as Duane sat his horse, peering
around and undecided what further
move to make, he caught the CLINT OF
Pickering lights through the darkness.
Heading toward them he saw the NOV
ing forms Of men and heard horses.
lie advanced naturally, expecting any
moment to be halted.
"Who goes thcre?" came the sharp
call out Of the gloom.
Duane pulled his horse. The gloom
was impenetrable.

"What do you want7"

II want to see Captain MacNelly."
"Get down and advance. Slow.
Don't move your hands. It's dark,
but I can see."
Duane dismountcd, and, leading his
horse, slowly advanced a few PAGES.
He saw a DULY bright object-a gun
before he discovered the man who
held it. A few more steps showed
dark figure blocking the trail. Here
Duane halted.
"Here, ranger, understand this. My
visit is peaceful-friendly If you'll let
1t be. Mind, I was asked to come
hereafter dark"
Duane's clear, penetrating voice
carried far. The listening rangers at
the campfire heard what he said.
"Ho, Picxens: Tell that fellow to
wait" replied an authoritative voice.
Then slim figure detached itself
from the dark, moving group at the
campfire and hurried out.
"Better be foxy, Cap" shouted
ranger, in warning.
"Shut up--all of you," was the re-
ply.
This officer, obviously Captain Mac
Nelly, soon Joined the two rangers
who were confronting Duane. He had
no fear. He strobe straight up to
Duane.

"How'n He'll Did You Get His Gun7"
I grabbed his gun an got the drop on
him."
What the cowboy thought of this
was expressed in laugh. His mates
likewise grinned broadly. Then the
leader turned to Duane.

The big cowboy seemed to vibrate
with a shock. All the ruddy warmth
left his face; his jaw began to bulge
the corded veins in his neck stood out
in knots. In an instant he had hard,
stern, strange look. He shot out a
powerful hand that fastened in the
front of Duane's blouse.
"Somethin' queer here. But II
you're Duane you're sure in bad. Any
fool ought to know that. You mean
it, them"
'I'm Duane; yes. But I won't stand
for the blame of things I never did.

card out there offering the reward.

Sibert.

who still waved Duane's gun.
"Abe, put the gun down." he said.
1T might go off. Here, give it to me.
Now, what's wrong? Who's this roped
gent, an what's he done?"
The gaunt fellow, who appeared now
about to collapse, lifted a shaking
hand and pointed.
'Thet thar feller-he's Buck
Duane!" he painted.
An angry murmur ran through the
surrounding crowd.
''The rope! The rope! Throw it
over a branch! String him up!'' cried
an excited villager.
"Abe, how do you know this fellow
is Buck Duane?" the cowboy asked,
sharply.
"Why-he said so," replied the man
called Abe.
"What!" came the exclamation, in

ing him.
The Rio Grande and its tributaries
for the most of their length in Texas
ran between wide, low, fiat lands COW
cred by a dense growth Of willow.
Cottonwood, mesquite, prickly pear,
and other growths mingled with the
willow, and altogether they made a
matted, tangled copse, a thicket that
an inexperienced man would have
considered impenetrable.
The depths Of this brake Duane had
penetrated was silent, dreamy,
strange place. In the middle of the
day the light was weird and dim.
When a breeze fluttered the foliage
then slender shafts and spears of sun"
shine pierced the green mantle ana
danced like gold on the ground.
Duane had always felt the strange
ness Of this Kind Of place, and like
wise he had felt protecting, harbor-
ing scmething which always seemed TO
him to be the sympathy Of the brake
for hunted creature. Any unwound-
ed creature, strong and resourceful,
was safe when he had glided under
the low, rustling green roof of this
wild covert.
Duane wanted to cross the river
If that was possible, and, keeping in
the brake, work his way upstream till
he had reached country more hospit-
able. He pushed on. His left arm
had to be favored, as he could scarcely
move it. Using his right to spread
the willows, he slipped sideways be-
tween them and made fast time.
Finally after a toilsome penetration
of still denser brush he broke through
to the bank Of the river.
He faced wide, shallow, muddy
stream with brakes on the opposite
bank extending like green and yellow

He led Duane in the direction Of the
campfire.
"Pickens, go back on duty" he
ordered, land, Beeson, YOU look after
this horse"
When Duane got beyond the LING
of mesquite, which had hid a gooQ
view Of the camp site, he saw group
of perhaps fifteen rangers sitting
around the fires, near a long, low shed
where horses were feeding, and
small adobe house Mt one side.
"1Ve've just had grub, but I'll see you
get some. Then We'll talk" said
MacNelly. 1--WE taken up temporary
quarters here. Have a rustler job on
hand. Now, when you've eaten, come
right into the house"
Duane was hungry, but he hurried
through the ample supper that was
set before him, urged on by curiosity
and establishment. While eating he
had bent keen eyes around him. After
n first quiet scrutiny the rangers APP
parently paid no more attention to
him. They were all veterans in serv-
fce-Duane saw that-and rugged
DOWerful men of iron constitution.
Despite general conversation OF
campfire nature, Duane was not de-
ceived about the fact that his advent
had been an unusual and striking one,
which had caused an undercurrent of
conjecture and even CONSERVATION
among them. These rangers were too

AlucNclly must have felt that.
He looked long and earnestly at
Duane, and his quick, nervous manner
changed to grave thoughtfulness.
"Ever hear from home since you
left Wellston?'' he asked, abruptly.
NO" replied Duane, sadly.
"That's tough. I'm glad to be able
to tell you that up to just lately your
mother, sister, uncle-all your folks,
believe-were well. I've kept posted.

own Crises in the history of the
world make us search for the true
basis of trust and confidence. The
natural tendency of the world is to

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, June 10
Miss Mary Kennedy. Wayne county
visiting nurse, and B. F. Wissler spoke
to a capacity audience at the public
library here Friday evening.
The Question of Hygiene" was
discussed by Miss Kennedy. She ex-
planned the work of the county nurse.
stating that it is not a charitable work
but an educational one-that of the
preservation of health and that the
visiting nurse is employed by the
Wayne County Medical association,
especially for the prevention of tuber-
eulosis Her work is to instruct the
family as to the danger of the disease,
its origin its sources and precautions
to be observed.
Mr.. Wissler said the Wayne county
organization was the first in the state
and perhaps the first in the nation
which had for its purpose the proven
ton of tuberculosis.
Mrs. W. A. Roth presided at short
business session that followed the
speeches. 1t was decided that an in
vitation be extended to the nurse TO
