CHAPTER XxIy.

Like 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. baffiing order of action. The
 game was now in his hands. He must
 cross Mount Ord at night. The feat
 was improbable, but it might be done.
 He must ride into Bradford, forty
 miles from the foothills. before eicl
 o'clock next morning. He must tele-
 graph MacNelly to be In Val Verde
 on the twenty-fifth. He must ride
 back to Ord to intercept Knell, face
 him. and while the iron was hot strike
 hard to win Poggin'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, 10 be free to ride to their new job In Val Verde. In the meantime he must plan 10 arrest Longstreth. It was a magnificent outline. incredible, alinring, unfathomabie 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 q 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 strode on, and did not faIter 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 tine 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 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 he

cold, gray eyes. And Longstreth, who 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 a 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 first room and could not be seen.

 Pack. Fletcher" called Duane. and his voice made the outlaw jump.
 Hold on. Dodge, an you-an, every body" said Fletcher. Let me talk, seein' I'm in the wrong here"
 His persuasions did not case the strain.
 "Go ahead. Talk" said Poggin.
 Fletcher turned to Duane. "Pard, I'm takin' it on myself thet you meet enemies here when I swore you'd meet friends. It's my fault I'll stand by you if you let me"
 "No, Jim" replied Duane.
 "But what d you come fer without the signal?" burst out Fletcher in distress. He saw nothing but catas- trophe in this meeting.
 !. Jim, ain't pressin' my company none. But when I'm wanted bad"
 Fletcher stopped him with raised hand. Then he turned to Poggin with a rude dignity.
 "PoGGy, he's my pard, an he's Tiled. I never told him a word thet d make him sore. I only said Knell hadn't no more use fer him than fer me. Now, what you say goes in this gang. I never failed you in my life. Here's my pard. I vouch fer him. Win you stand fer me? There's gOin' to be hell if you don't. An us with a big job on handr'
 While Fletcher toiled over his slow. earnest persuasion Duane had his gaze riveted upon Poggin. There was something leonine about Poggin. He was tawny. He blazed. He seemed beautiful. But looked at closer with glance seeing the physical man, instead of that thing which shone from him, he was of perfect build. with muscles that swelled and rippled. pulging his with the magnificent head and face of the cruel, fierce, tawny-eyed jaguar.
 Looking at this strange Poggin, in- divining his abnormal and hideous power, Duane had for the first time in his life the inward auak- Ing fear of man. It was like a bell ringing within him and numbing his hear+- The old firing of blood followed, but did not drive away tbat fear. He inew. He felt something here deeper than thought could go. And he hated Poggin.
 That individual had been considering Fletcher's appeal.
 "Jim, I ante up." he said, "an' if Phil doesn't raise us out with a big he'll get called, an your Dard can set in the game"
 Every eye shifted to knell. He was lead white. He laughed, and anyone rearing that laugh would have realized l lis intense anger equally with an as- ;urance which made him master of the l situation.
 'Poggin, you're gambler, you arc he ace-high, Straight-flusn hand of the | Big Bend,' he said. with stinging corn. 'ITl bet you my roll to a reaser peso that I can deal you a and you'll be afraid to play"

There were bushes, an old shed, wood-plle. all the cover he needed at that corner. He did not even need to crawl.
 Before he peered between the rough corner of wall and the bush growing close to it. Duane paused a moment. This excitement was different from that he had always felt when pursued. Ii had no bitterness, no pain. no dread. There was as much danger here, per haps more. yet it was not the same. Then he looked.
 He saw a bright fire, red-faced man bending over 1t, whistling, while he handled a steaming pot. Over him was a rOofed shed built against the wall, with two open sides and two supporting posts. Duane's second glance, not so blinded hy the sudden bright light, made out other men, three in the shadow. two in the flare, but with backs to him.

The Buick is known as the most

A big feature of the Buick is the
valve-in-head motor which is de-

modern seige gun which shoots 26
miles, because the firing charge is so
arranged that all the force of the

wasted in a Buick car.
