On Sunday the Perkins team of
Mankato came to New Ulm to give the
locals a chance to get revenge but the
locals did not take the chance and the
best New Ulm could do was to take the
last game of the match. Ahnert of
Mankato was the leading man with 573.
He also had the highest single score, 222,
to his credit. Reilly Dahms and Elmer
Backer fought for high honors on the

I reckon you'd better stock up before
you hit thet stretch of country"
He made a wide sweep of his right
arm, indicating the southwest, and
seemed significant of vast and bar

"Stock up?'' queried Duane, thought
fully.
"Shore. 4 feller has jest got to eat.

Stevens tone was inviting. Evident

Duane kept silence, however, and then
Stevens went on.

"You mean you'd like me to go with

Stevens grinned. oval, I should

haste.

There was something sincere and
likable about this outlaw.

Duane, quietly. "And I'll go to Mer-

CHAPTER II.

When Duane came to the gate of
his home and saw his uncle there with
a mettlesome horse, saddled, with can
teen, rope and bags all in place, a
subtle shock pervaded his spirit. It
had slipped his mind-the consequence
Of his act. But sight of the horse ana
the look of his uncle recalled the fact
that he must now become a fugitive.
An unreasonable anger took hold Of
him.
"That id fool !" he exclaimed
hotly. Meeting Balm wasn't much,
Uncle Jim. He busted my buots, that's

Just avoid him. Buck, I'm not afraid
Cal would get you. What I'm most
afraid of is that you'll kill Bain.''
Duane was silent, letting his uncle's
earnest words sink in, trying to realize
their significance.
''Buck," went on the uncle, you're
twenty-three now, an powerful sight
of a fine fellow, barrin' your temper.
You've a chance in life. Bit if you
go gun-fghtin', if you kill a man,
you're ruined. The rangers would
make you an outlaw. This even-break
business doesn't work with them. If
you resist arrest they'll kill you. If
you submit to arrest, then you go to
Jail, an mebbe you hang"
"Td never hang" muttered Duane,
darkly.
''I reckon you wouldn't replied the
old man. "You'd be like your father.

rangers enforcin' the law, your dad

So it was in him, then-an inherited
fighting instinct, driving intensity to
kill. He was the last of the Duanes,
that old fighting stock of Texas. But
not the memory of his dead father, nor
the pleading of his sOft-vOiced mother,
nor the warning of this uncle who
stood before him now, had brought to
Buckley Duane so much realization
of the dark, passionate strain in his
blood. It was the recurrence, hun

strange emotion that for the last three
years had arisen in him.

bad whisky an huntin' for you," re-
peated the elder man, gravely.
"But what's he want me for? de-
manded Duane. ITO insult me again
won't stand that twice."
"He's got fever that's rampant in
Texas these days, my boy. He wants
gun-play. If he meets you he'll try
to kill you."
Here it stirred in Duane again, that

flame shaking all his inner being, and
subsiding to leave him strangely
chilled.
'Kill me! What for?" he asked.
Lord knows there ain't any reason.
But what's that to do with most of the
shootin' these days? Didn't five cow
boys over to Everalls kill one another
dead all because they got to jerkin' at

Duane, in scorn.

II knew it. Long ago I saw it COM

over split blood. You've got to leave

"Mother" exclaimed Duane.
"She's away from home. You can
wait. I'll break it to her-what she
always feared"
Suddenly Duane sat down and COW
cred his face with his hands,.
''My God Uncle, what have I done?"
His broad shoulders shook.
"Listen, son, an remember what I
say" replied the elder man, earnestly.
Don't ever forget. You're not to

way, because maybe you'll never grow
hard an callous. You're not to blame.
This is Texas. You're your fathers
son. These are wild times. The law
as the rangers are laying it down now
can't change life all in minute"
'Im a murderer" said Duane, shud-
dering.
'No, son, you're not. An you never
will be. But you've got to be an out

When this thing is lived down, if that
time ever comes, I'll get word into the
unsettled country. It'll reach you
some day. That's all. Remember, be
a man. Good-by."
Duane, with blurred sight and con-
tracing throat, gripped his uncle's
hand and bade him a wordless fare
well. Then he leaped astride the black
and rode out of town.
AS swiftly as was consistent with a
care for his steed, Duane put a dis
tance of fifteen or eighteen miles
behind him. He passed several
ranches, and was seen by men. This
n hn
trail across country. 1t was a fiat
region with a poor growth of mesquite
and prickly-pear cactus. Occasionally
he caught glimpse of low hills in the
distance. He had hunted often in that
section, and knew where to find grass
and water. When he reached this
higher ground he did not, however,
halt at the first favorable camping
spot, but went on and on.
At last he found a secluded spot, un-
der cover of thick mesquites and oaks,
at goodly distance from the old trail.
He took saddle and pack off the horse,
made small fire, prepared and ate his
supper. This done, ending the work
of that day, he sat down and filled his
pipe. When night set in and the
place seemed all the more isolated and
lonely for that Duane had a sense of
relief.
1t dawned upon him all at once that
he was nervous, watchful, sleepless.
The fact caused him surprise, and he
began to think back, to take note of
his late actions and their motives. The
change one day had wrought amazed
him. He who had always been free,
easy, happy, especially when out alone
in the open, had become in few short
hours bound, serious, preoccupied. He
felt tired, yet had no inclination to
rest. He intended to be off by dawn,
heading toward the southwest. Had
he destination? 1t was vague as his
knowledge of that great waste of
mesquite and rock bordering the Rio
Grande. Somewhere out there was a
refuge. For he was a fugitive from
justice, an outlaw.
This being an outlaw then meant
eternal vigilance. No home, no rest,
no sleep, no content, no life worth the
living! He must be a lone wolf or he
must herd among men obnoxious to
him. If he worked for an honest liv-
