LAMBS AVERAGE
ALMOST 100 LBS,
INCOME FROM BUNCH OF EWES
THREE TIMES THEIR
VALUE.

Lambs that averaged over ninty-
seven pounds each, sold at 10 cents
per pound Is about the best record SO
far reported to The Herald this season.
That is what those of w. F. Woody, OF
McCain's, did. He had fifteen ordi-
nary, native Southdown grade ewes.
From them he sold s26 worth Of wool
or about $3.50 each. The lambs
brought $S.70 each, or s203.70. The
total receipts for lambs and wool was
s22S.7O, or an average income from
each Of the fifteen ewes of 1852. This
Is three times the value of the ewes a
year ago. And yet there are some
folks who contend that there is no
profit in sheep.

This law limits the speed of motor
trucks to eight miles an hour. Back
eTs of the fender law say that the
law will be used by enemies Of fen
ders as a pTeteXt to stop passage Of
the real safeguard ordinance.
If the trucks are not allowed to go
over eight miles an hour tenders will
not be necessary, it Will be argued.
But when the law is passed there is
no way the chief of police can be
made to enforce it.
Strangely enough, although OPP
posed to fender laws, the truck own
ers are satisfied with this eight-mile
law. If enforced it would reduce the
efficiency of their trucks almost so
per cent. But they don't expect en-
fOrcement.

CHAPTER VIE.

What contrast, Duane thought, the
calm evening of that day presented to
the state of his soul! This third fac
ing of desperate man had thrown
him off his balance. 1t had not been
fatal, but it threatened so much.
Despair had seized upon him and was
driving him into reckless mood when
he thought of Jennie.
He had forgotten her. He had for
gotten that he had promised to save
her. He had forgotten that he meant
to snuff out as many lives as might
stand between her and freedom. The
very remembrance sheered off his
morbid introspection. She made
difference. How strange for him to
realize that! He felt grateful to her.
He had been forced into outlawry; she
had been stolen from her people and
carried into captivity. They had met
in the river fastness, he to instill hope
into her despairing life, she to be the
means, perhaps, of keeping him from
sinking f. he level of her captors. He
became conscious of a strong and beat
ing desire to see her, talk with her.
These thoughts had run through mis-
mind while on his way to Mrs. BANDS
house se had let EGchre go on ahead
-voause he wanted more time to com
pose himself Darkness had about set
in when he reached his destination.
There was no light in the house. Mrs.
Bland was waiting for him on the
porch.
She embraced him, and the sudden.
violent. unfamiliar contact sent such a
shock through him that he all but
forgot the deep game he was playing.
She. however, in her agitation did not !
lotice his shrinking. From her en-
,race and the tender. incoherent o-ds

was no gambling and drinking. Time
hung very heavily on the hands OF
some twoscore outlaws. Duane, how
ever, found the hours anything but
empty. He spent more time at Mrs
BANDS; he walked miles on ali the
trails leading out Of the valley; he had
a care for the conditions Of his two
horses.
| Upon his return from the latest of
| these tramps Euchre suggested that
| they go down to the river to the boat
| landing.
Nearly all the outlaws in camp were
assembled on the river-bank, lolling in
heat was oppressive.
Duane and Euchre Joined the lazy
group and sat down with them.
Euchre lighted a black pipe, and,
drawing his hat over his eyes, lay
back in comfort after the manner of
the majority of the outlaws. But
Duane was alert, observing, thought
full He never missed anything. 1t
was his belief that any moment an idle
word might be of benefit to him. More
over, these rough men were always in
teresting.

Duane could not possibly attend to
all the conversation among tie out

cOmra0e.
''Deger says the Kid might pull |

"Wal, Kate Bland amt nursin' any

came penetrating silence. Some of

Difference. That was his strong point,
and it had made his part easy so far.
He was playing game of love
playing with life and death! What
little communication he had with Jen-
ME was through Euchre, who carried
short messages. But he caught
gliInpses of her every time he went
to the Bland house. She contrived
somehow to pass door or window, to
give him q look when chance afforded.
Duane discovered with surprise that
these moments were more thrilling to
him than any with Mrs. Bland. Jennie
had been instructed by Euchre to
listen, to understand that this was
Duane's only chance to help keep her
mind from constant worry, to gather
the import Of every word which had
double meaning. And all through
those waiting days he knew that Jen-
MES face, and especially the warm,
fleeing glance she gave him, was re-
spOnsible for subtle and gradual
change in him. This change, he
fancied, was only that through remem-
brance of her he got rid of his pale,
sickening ghosts.
One day a careless Mexican threw
a lighted cigarette up into the brush
mating that served as a ceiling for
Benscn's den, and there was fire
which left little more than the adobe

Comes the next big crisis in
Buck Duane's life. He meets it
with characteristic energy and
decision. More murder is done,
but the cause is good. Love and
license and intrigue play their
part in the drama. How this

he rolls .another bad man by

| Both men were awake early, silent
with the premonition of trouble ahead,
thoughtful of the fact that the time
for the long-planned action was at
hand.
Buck, the sooner the better now"
Euchre finally declared, with CLINT
in his eye. s'The more time we use up
now the less surprised Bland II be-"

Duane, quietly, and he rose from the
table.

"Euchre, 1 hope you're not going TO

IS all the better"
Euchre put on his sombrero, and al
he went out Duane saw that he wore
a gun-and-cartridge belt. 1t was the
first time Duane had ever seen the
outlaw armed.
Duane packed his few belongings
into his saddle-bags and then carried
the saddles out of the corral. The
hour had arrived and he was ready.
Time passed slowly. Finally ne
heard the shuttle of Euchres boots
ON the hard path. The sound was
quicker than usual.
When Euchre came around the
corner of the cabin Duane was not so
lstounded as he was concerned to see
ripped from him. He had wild look.
