PRELIMINARY TRAINING
is VERY ESSENTIAL
TO a College Football Team,
Says Coach Of Washington

The first problem OF football team
Is physical condition. All athletes

II. The football squad which gets into
good physical shape before scrimmag-
Ing goes through the season with the
least injury. The tired athlete and the
loafer get hurt. Therefore, 1t would
Ieem best to have preliminary training.
Preliminary training has the added ad-
vantage of preventing men from be-
coming worn out by practice after col
Iege opens. when they need energy for
nightly study.
About preliminary training-as in
most college athletic matters-there is
disagreement. The middle western
conference prohibits 1t. Whether one
OF its aims-to promote scholarships
IS furthered, Is doubtful. When foot
ball and study get an even start,
drowsy evenings rule. When football
is well on its way first, falling asleep
over books is a thing of the past. 1t
is my opinion that eastern football Is
superior to middle western football
because OF preliminary training. In

The Tigers may yet be in position

American league situation completely

to harass them further. The class
Of pitching Detroit has to rely on will
be its best bet.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Duane left the hall, elbowed his way through the crowd, and went down the street. He was certain that on the faces of some men he had seen ill-concealed wonder and satisfaction. He had struck some kind of a hot trail, and he meant to see where 1t led. It was by no means unlikely that Cheseldine might be at the other end. Duane controlled a mounting eagerneSs. But ever and anon it was shot through with remembrance of Ray Longstreth. He suspected her father of being not what he pretended. He was troubled.
 Upon returning to the inn he found Laramie there. apparently none the worse for his injury.
 How are you, Laramie?" he asked. That was a good crack Sneaker gave you" %
 '.I aln't accusin' Bo," remonstratei Laramie, with eyes that made Duane tlfoughtful.
 Well, I accuse him. I caught him ---took him to Longstreth's court. But they let him go."
 Laramie appeared to be agitated by this intimation of friendship.
 ''See here, Laramie" went on Duane, "in some parts of Texas it's policy to be close-mouthed. Policy and health-preservlng! Between our selves. I want you to9 know l lean on your side of the fence."
 Laramie gave a quick start. Pre- sentiy Duane turned and frankly met his gaze. He had startled Laramie out of his habitual set taciturnity 1; but even as he looked the light that might have been amaze and joy faded out, of his, face, leaving it the same old mask. Stin Duane had seen enough. Like bloodhound he had . scent.

 Now I'm puzzled over this" said Duane. "Why do men-apparently honest men-seem to be so close mouthed here? Is that fact, or only my impression?" .a. Its sure a fact" replied Laramie, darkly. Men have lost cattle an property in Fairdale-lost them hon. estly or otherwise, as hasn't been proved. An in some cases when they talked-hinted little-they was

SYNOPSIS.

The time of the story: about 1875. The place; The Texas COW country. The chief character: Buckley Duane. a. young man who has inherited g lust to kill, which he suppresses. In se1f-defense he shoots dead a drunken bully and is forced to flee to the wild country where he joins Bland's outlaw band. Euchre, an amiable rascal, tells him about Jennie. a young girl who had been abducted and sold to Bland for a bad fate. They determine to rescue the girl and restore her to civilization. Eu- chre has, just reconnoitered, and is re- porting the outlook to Buck. 3Euchre Is killed. Buck kills Bland and Is danger ously wounded by Mrs. Bland. but es- capes with Jennie. Jennie is abducted. Buck never sees her again. but kills her abductor. Duane barely escapes death at the hands of lynchers for crime he nev- CT committed. He goes to see Captain MacNelly of the Rangers. who hands him a pardon on condition that he join the Rangers and assist in breaking up tthe outlaws: Duane accepts and goes to the outlaw headquarters on a secret mission. He meets Colonel Longstreth mayor of Fairdale, and Miss Ray Longstreth and her cousin, Ruth. There is something suspicious about Longstreth.

 1y. -----''---------" .-----'.- ''Bo Sneaker" he said Eg .s 'fRanger. what II you do with him?' i, Lawson @queried, as if uncertain, now the capture was made. lF "I'H see Ito that" replied Duane. and he pushed Sneaker in front of him out into the court.
 Duane had suddenly conceived the idea of taking Sneaker before Mayor Longstreth in the court.
 When Duane arrived at the hall where scourta was field there were | other men there, a dozen or more, and | all seemed excited; evidently, news of Duane had preceded him. Longstreth sat at a table on a. platform. Near him sat q thick-set griZZled man, with deep eyes, and this was HanfOrd Owens, county judge. To the right stood tall, angular, yellow-faced fellow with dropping sandy mus tache. Conspicuous on his vest was a huge silver shield. This was Gorsech, one of Longstreth's sheriffs. There were four other men whom Duane knew by sight. several faces were familiar, and half dozen strangers, afi dusty forsemen.
 Longstreth pounded hard on the table to he .heard.1,-Mayor or not, he was unable at once to quell the ex- citement. Gradually. however, it sub sided. and from the fast few utter ances before #quiets was restored Duane gathered that he had intruded upon some kind of Il meeting In the hall.
 "What "a you break in here for" demanded Longstretil
 Isn't this the court? Aren't you the mayor of Eairdale2' interrogated Duane. His. voice was clear and loud. almost piercing. ....
 Yes" replied Longstreth. Like flint he seemed, yet Duane felt his intense Interest. I've arrested criminal" said Duane.
 Arrested a criminal :" calculated Longstreth You? Who are your"

 A significant silence ensued.

 What's this hear about you. Bo? Get up and speak for yourself" said Longstreth, gruflly. W N
 Sneaker got up, not without fur tive glance at Duane. and he had shuffled forward few steps toward the mayor. He had an evil front, but not the bOldness even of a rustler.
 "It ain't so, Longstreth," he began. fer grub. Some feller I never seen before come in from the hall an hit Laramie an wrastled him on the floor went out.

Thet's my hunch, Longstreth." .....t B Longstreth said something Tn an undertone to Judge Owens, and that worthy nodded his great bushy head.
 ''fso. you're discharged," said Long streth, bluntly. Now the rest of you clear out of here."
 He absolutely ignored the ranger. That was his rebuff to Duane-hls slap in. the face to an interfering ranger service. If Longstreth was

 The ranger was about to speak again when the chatter of hoofs in- terrupted him. Horses halted out In front. and one rider got down. Floyd Lawson entered. He called for tobacco.
 If his visit surprised Laramie he son showed rage as he saw the ranger, and then dark glint fitted from the eyes that shifted from Duane to Laramie and back again. Duane leaned easily against the counter.
 Say, that was bad break of yours" Lawson said. eff you come fooling around the ranch again there'll be he'll" .r.. .rttt...
 It seemed strange that a man who had lived west of the Pecos for ten thing which forbade that kind of talk. It certainly was not nerve Lawson showed; men of courage were seldom intolerant. With the matchless nerve that characterized the great gunmen of the day there was d cool unob- trusive manner. Il speech brief, almost gentle, certainly courteous. Lawson was hot-headed Louisianian of French extraction; man, evidently, who had never been crossed in any thing, and who was strong, brutal. passionate, which qualities in the face simply a fool.
 You're right. But not the kind you think" Duane retorted, his voice sharp and cold.
 E Ray Longstreth wouldn't stoop to know q dirty blood -tracker like you said Lawson hotly He did not seem to nave q deliberate intentioti to rouse Duane; thesman was simply rancor- sous, jealous.

 "Longstreth, I saw Sneaker attack Laramie" said Duane, his voice still ringing. "What has the court to say to that?" ''''.'-'' 'r...'s' 7~s'-'.-----.. "The court has this to say.

 Longstreth turned white. The veins | corded at his temples. He appeared about to burst into rage. He was at Il loss for quick reply.
 Floyd Lawson rushed in and up to l the table. The blood showed black and thick in his face; his utterance was incoherent, his uncomfortable outbreak of temper seemed out of all proportion to any cause he should reasonably have had for anger. Long, streth showed him back with a curse | and warning glare. -.
 "Where's your warrant to arrest l Snecker?" shouted Longstreth.
 "I don't need warrants to make arrests. Longstreth, you're ignorant of the power of Texas Rangers"
 "You'll come none of your damned ranger stunts out here. I'll block you." .-=tH -Ha That passionate reply of Long l streth's was the signal Duane had been waiting for. He had helped on streth's hand and show the town his stand.
 Duane backed clear of everybody. Men. I call on you all v cried Duane. piercingly. "I call on you to witness the arrest of criminal pre- vented by Longstreth, mayor Of Fair dale. It will be recorded in the re- port to the djutant-General at Austin, Longstreth, you'll never pre- vent another arrest" Longstreth sat white with working jaw. [

Strange how it seems the law was stretched to favor your interest !" .ksfS- s<ef~ Duane paused in his cold, ringing speech. In the silence. both outside and inside the hall, could be heard the deep breathing of agitated men. Longstreth was indeed a study. Yet did he betray anything but rage at this interloper.
 ''Longstreth. here's plain talk for you and Fairdale," went on Duane. 'I don't accuse you and your court of dishonesty. say strange! Law here has been farce. The motive behind all this laxity isn't plain to me-yet. But call your hand!"
