Duane and Jennie trotted away into
the gathering twilight. The sky was
overcast with heavy clouds; there was
no air moving; the heat and oppres-
| sion threatened storm. BY and by
Duane could not see a rod in front of
him, though his horse had no difficulty
in keeping to the road. To his an
| noyance, however, fine, misty rain
set in. Jennie was not well dressed
| for wet weather; and, for that matter,
| neither was he. His coat, which in
that dry warm climate he seldom

passed quickly despite the discomfort,
and soon gray. dismal, rainy dawn
greeted the travellers.
Jennie insisted that he find some
shelter where a fire could be built to
dry his clothes. He was not in a fit
condition to risk catching cold. In
fact, Duane's teeth were chattering.
To find shelter in that barren waste
seemed a futile task. Quite unex-
pectedly, however, they happened upon
a deserted adobe cabin situated a little
off the road. Not only did it prove
to have a dry interior, but also there
was firewood Water was available in
pools everywhere; however. there was
no grass for the horses.
A good fire and hot food and drink
changed the aspect of their condition
as far as comfort went.
Jennie slept while Duane watched.
The saving of this girl meant more
to him than any task he had ever ar
sumed.
AS he looked down upon her. a
slight, slender girl with bedraggled
dress and disheveled hair. her face,
pale and quiet, little stern in sleep,

cheek, he seemed to see her fragility.

noble one, and helped him to hold on

that Duane rode closer and reached
out to grasp her arm.
Thus they rode through the valley
to the trail that led up over the steer
and broken Rim Rock. AS they be-
gan to climb Duane looked back. Nc
| pursuers were in sight.
"Jennie, we're going to get away u
he cried, exultation for her in his
voice.
She was gazing norror-stricken at
his breast, as in turning to look back
he faced her.
"Oh, Duane, your shirts all bloody ~
she faltered, pointing with trembling
fingers.
With her words Duane became
aware of two things-the hand he in
stinctively placed to his breast still
held his gun, and he had been shot
through the breast far enough down
to give him grave apprehension of his
life.
They did not stop climbing while

his wounds. The fresh horses made
fast time up the rough trail. From
open places Duane looked down. When
they surmounted the steep ascent and
stood on top of the Rim Rock, with
no signs of pursuit down In the valley,
and with the wild broken fastness
before them, Duane turned to the girl
and assured her that they now had
every chance to escape.

"Jennie, I'll take a lot of killing"
he said.
Then he became silent and attended
to the uneven trail. He was aware
presently that he had not come into
BANDS camp by this route. But that
did not matter; any trail leading out
beyond the Rim Rock was safe enough.
What he wanted was to get far away

Soon after this move be became con-
scious of a further thickening of his
senses. He felt able to hold on to his
saddle for while longer, but he was
falling. Then he thought he ought to
advise Jennie, so in case she was left
ilone she would have some idea of
what to do.
"Jennie, I'll give out soon," he said.
