day. And as he lay there, with the
approach of sleep finally dimming the
vlvldness of his thought, so full of
mystery. shadowy faces floeted in the
blackness around him, haunting him
as he had always been haunted.
1t was broad daylight when he
awakened. MacNelly was calling him
to breakfast.
The rangers were eating in circle
round a tarpaulin spread upon the
ground.
Fellows" said MacNelly, "shake
hands with Buck Duane. He's on
secret ranger service for me. Service

Mind you, keep mum about it."
The rangers surprised Duane with a
roaring greeting, the warmth of which
he soon OWNED was divided between
pride of his acquisition to their ranks
and eagerness to meet that violent
service of which their captain limited.
They were jolly, wild fellows, with
just enough gravity in their welcome
to show Duane their respect and ap-
probation, while not forgetting his
lone-wolf record. When he had seated
himself in that circle, now one of
them, a feeling subtle and uplifting
pervaded him.

CHAPTER XIV.

West of the Pecos River Texas ex-
tended vast wild region, barren in
the north where the Llano Estacado
spread its shifting sands, fertile in the
south along the Rio Grande. A rail-
road marked an Underwriting course
across five hundred miles of this
country, and the only villages and
towns lay on or near this line of steel.
Unsettled as was this western Texas
and despite the acknowledged domi-
nance of the outlaw bands, the
pioneers pushed steadily into 1t.
The Rio Grande flowed almost due
south along the western boundary for
thousand miles, and then, weary of
its course, turned abruptly north, to
make what was called the Big Bend.
The railroad, running west, cut across
this bend and all that country bound
ed on the north by the railroad and
on the south by the river was as wild
as the Staked Plains. Across the face
of this Big Bend. as if to isolate 1t,
stretched the Ord mountain range. In
the valleys of 4. the foothills and out
across the plains were ranches, and
farther north, villages, and the towns
of Alpine and Maria.
Like other parts of the great Lone
Star State, this section of Texas was
world in itself-a world where the
riches of the rancher We're ever en-
riching the outlaw. The village closest
to the gateway CT this outlaw-infested
region was a little place called Ord,
named after the dark peak that loomed
some miles to the south.
Toward the close of day in Sep
tember stranger rode into Ord, and
in community where all men were
remarkable for one reason or another
he excited interest. His horse, per-
haps, received the first and most en-
gaging observation-disclosures in that region
being apparently more important than
men. This particular horse at first
glance seemed ugly. But he was a
giant, black as coal, huge In every
way. A bystander remarked that he

It's my idea to start way up the Rio

He's the strongest, the worst outlaw
of the times. He's more than rustler.
It's Cheseldine and his gang who are
operating on the banks. No one seems
to have seen him-to know what he
looks like.

stranger to the country he dominates.

Well, whatever way you decide is best
you will proceed to act upon. You are
your own boss. You must find some
way to let me know when I and my
rangers are needed. The plan is to
break up Cheseldlne's gang. It's the
toughest job on the border. We want
to kill or Jail this choice selection of
robbers and break up the rest of the
gang. To find them, to get among
them somehow, to learn their move

II have accepted it." replied Duane.
"Your work will be secret. You are

just when you entered the service.
Perhaps we can make 1t appear that
all or most of your outlawry has
really been good service to the state.
At that, I'll believe it'll turn out So"
MacNelly paused n moment in his
rapid talk, chewed his cigar. drew
his brows together in dark frown.
and went on. "No man on the border
knows so well as you the deadly nature
of this service. It's long, long chance
against your ever coming back"

But in case get killed out there

Leave that to me-" interrupted
Captain MacNelly. 'If you lose your
life out there I'll see your name clear

You can rest assured of that"
'T am satisfied" replied Duane.
