CHAPTER X.

In three days Duane was able with
great difficulty to mount his horse.
During daylight, by short RELAYS, he
and Jennie rode back to the main
trail, where they hid again till he had
rested. Then in the dark they rode
out of the canyons and gullies OF the
Rim Rock, and carly in the morning
halted at the first water to camp.
From that point they Travelled after
nightfall and went into hiding during
the day. Once across the Nueces
River, Duane was assured OF safety
for her and great danger for himself.
At last, far ahead over a barren mes
auite-dotted stretch Of dusty ground,
he espied a patch Of green and a little
fiat, red ranch-house. He headed his
horse for it and turned face he tried
to make cheerful for Jennie's sake.
She seemed both happy and sorry.
When near at hand he saw that the
rancher was a thrifty farmer. And
thrift spoke for honesty. There we're

hurried a little. Halfway down the
lane he turned his head to peer
through the cottonwoods. This time
he saw Euchre coming with the horses.
There was no indication that the OLD
outlaw might lose his nerve at the end'
Duane had feared this.
Duane now changed his walk to a
leisure.y saunter. He reached the
porch and then distinguished what was
said inside the cabin.

good-by to the rancher and his wife.
Andrews would not listen to Duane'S
thanks.
II tell you I'm beholden to you yet"
he declared.
"Well, what can I do for you?"
asked Duane. 81 may come along here
again some day."
"Get down an come in, then, or
you're no friend of mine. An good
luck to you BOTH"
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, a fine, misty rain
set in. Jennie was not well dressed
for wet weather; and, for that matter,
neither was he. His coat, which 10
that dry warm climate he seldom
needed, was tied behind his saddle,
and he put it on Jennie. The night
passed quickly despite the discomfort
and soon a gray, dismal, rainy dawn
greeted the travellers.
Jennie insisted that he find some
shelter where fire could be built to
dry his clothes. He was not in fit
condition to risk catching cold. In
fact, Duane's teeth were chattering.
TO find shelter in that barren waste
seemed futile task. Quite unex-
pectedly, however, they happened upon
q deserted adobe cabin situated little
off the road. Not only did it prove
to have n dry interior, but also there
was tirewOOd. 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 as
sumed.
AS he looked down upon her,

dress and disheveled hair, her face.

before. But for him she might at

the BANDS. The fact gave him feel

of her destiny. She was unframed,
still young; she would forget and be
happy; she would live to be good

thought swelled his heart. His act,
death-dealing as 1t had been, was
noble one, and helped him to hold ON
to his drifting hopes. Hardly once
since Jennie had entered into his
thought had those ghosts returned to
torment him.
Tomorrow she would be gone among

several Mexican herders with cattle.
Blue columns Of smoke curled up over
some of the cabins. The fragrant smell
of 1t reminded Duane of his home
and cutting wood for the stove. He
noted Il cloud Of creamy mist rising
above the river, dissolving in the sum

Then he entered BANDS lane.

cabin he heard loud, angry voices Of
man and woman. Bland and Kate
still quarreling! He took quick sur

Duane bounded down to the horses.
Jennie was trying to hold the plunging
bay. Euchre lay flat on his back,
dead, a bullet-hole in his shirt, his
face set hard, and his hands twisted
round gun and bride.

He caught his bride out Of Euchre's
clutching grip and leaped astride. The
frightened horses jumped into run
and Numbered down the lane into the
road. Duane saw men running from
cabins. He heard shouts. But there
were no shots fired. Jennie seemed
able to stay on her horse, but without

stirrups she was thrown about SO much
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 steep
and broken Rim Rock. AS they be-
gan to climb Duane looked back. No
pursuers were in sight.
Jennie, we're going to get away!"
he cried, exultation for her in his
voice.
| She was gazing horror-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
| Duane tore q scarf and made COM
presses, which he bound tightly over
| 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 turnedEo the girl
| and assured her that they now had
| every chance to escape.
"But-your-wound she faltered.

blood-dripping from your back"
"Jennie, I'll take 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

hide till he recovered from his wound.

alone she would have some iden Of

Duane could not get the meaning OF
her incoherent reply. He rode on, and
soon he could not see the trail or hear
his horse. He did not know whether
| they travelled a mile or many times
that far. But he was conscious when
the horse stopped, and had a vague
sense Of falling and feeling Jennie's
arms before all became dark to him.

have been driven from their entire
position on Lavarone plateau, accord
ing to the Austrian war office an
nouncement. 1t is stated that the
Italians defeat is steadily becoming
more serious. The Austrian lines have
been pushed forward rapidly, several
additional positions of strategic i'm
portance having been captured. The
number Of Italians taken prisoner are
said to have been increased to 1883.
The statement follows:
The Italian defeat on the southern
Tyrolean front is certainly becoming
more serious. An attack Of the Graz
Corps on Lavarone plateau was at
tended with complete success. The
enemy was driven from his entire posi-
ton. Our troops captured Mandriolo,
Fima and the height Immediately west
of the frontier from the summit as far
as the Astach Valley.

Charles Francis Joseph reached the
lrcnte Tormino-Monte Majo line.
Since the beginning of the often

us. The number of cannon taken has
been increased to 172."
Austria's announcement Of success
on the Tyrolean front was described
by diplomats friendly to the Central
Powers as being of the utmost strate-
gical Importance. 1t was stated that
the drive over the mountainous re-
gions on the Tyrol-Italian line, being
accomplished under most difficult con-
ditions had for it's ultimate objective
the cutting Of the railroads in Venetia,
the northeast neck of Italy and then
pressing on to the Adriatic to cut off
a large number of Italian troops now
operating within the neck which is
surrounded on the frontier by Tyrol,
Carinthia and Goritz.
