The agent of the Bible Society
called on Mr.. Yung at his home in
Pezin and Mr.. Yung returned the
call at the Bible House. The agent
records his judgment that Mr.. Yung
is an humble follower of Jesus Christ,
fully imbued with His spirit, though
not a church member. Mr.. Yung told
the agent:

At the same time the society's
agent reports that owing partly to
war conditions, but principally be-
cause the appropriations have been
reduced, he has been obliged for the
present actually to stop printing
bows and will soon have to stop the
distribution of the books already
printed in some parts of the country.
The stock of Scriptures has been
nearly sold out.

A Fine Tale of the Open Country BY ZANE GREY

Duane could not hear what It was he
said. The fellow laughed. yet some
how he struck Duane as sullen, until
suddenly he espied Miss Longstreth.
Then his face changed, and he re-
moved his sombrero. Duane went
closer.

Hump! I'll have a word to say to
you later" Then Longstreth turned
to his daughter. "Ray, here's the
cousin I've told you about. You used
to play with him ten years ago
Floyd Lawson. Floyd, my daughter
and my niece, Ruth Herbert"
Duane always scrutinized everyone
he met, and now with n dangerous
game to play. with consciousness Of
Longstreth's unusual and significant
personality, he bent a keen and
searching glance upon this Floyd
Lawson.
He was under thirty, yet gray Mt his

Duane doubted not that he. like many
young man. had drifted out to the
frontier. where rough and wild life
had wrought sternly but had not quite
effaced the mark of good family.
Colonel LOngstreth apparently did
not share the pleasure of his daughter
and his niece in the advent Of this
cousin. Something hinged on this
meeting. Duane grew Intensely Curl

for the journey, he had no further OPP

Duane passed inside himself to
learn that supper would soon be
ready. At table he found him
self opposite the three who had at
tracted his attention.
Ruth, I envy the lucky cowboys"
Longstreth was saying.
Ruth was a curly-headed girl with
gray or hazel eyes. I'm crazy to
ride bronchos." she said.

adventure, said she must learn to
have nerve out here where things
happened.
"Can be of any service1" asked
Duane, solicitously.
'Thanks; guess there's nothing
you can do. Talk to these frightened
girls while go see what's to be done
with that thick-skulled robber." he
replied, and. telling the girls that
there was no more danger, he went
out.
Miss Longstreth sat with one hand
holding her torn waist in place; the
other she extended to Duane. He
took it awkwardly, and he felt a
strange thrill.
"You saved my life" she said, in
grave, sweet seriousness.
"No, no." Duane exclaimed. HE
might have struck you, hurt you. but
no more"
did you kill him?" asked Miss
Ruth, who lay listening.
"Oh, no. He's not badly hurt"
"I'm very glad he's alive" said
Miss Longstreth, shuddering.
Tell me all about it?" asked Miss
Ruth, who was fast recovering.
Rather embarrassed, Duane briefly
told the incident from his point Of
view.

"Go with US all the way to Fair

sweetly Offering her hand. II am
Ruth Herbert. And this is my cousin
Ray Longstreth."
"I'm travelling that way" replied
Duane, in great confusion. He did
not know how to meet the situation.
Colonel LOngstreth returned then,
and after bidding Duane n good night,
which seemed rather curt by contrast
to the graciousness of the girls, he led
them away.
Before going to bed Duane went
outside to take look at the injured
robber and perhaps to ASK him n few
questions. To Duane's surprise, he
was gone, and so was his horse. The
! innkeeper was dumfounded. He said
that he left the fellow on the floor
in the barroom.

| "Sure. He asked for whisky"

"Not to me. I heard him talkin' to

the innkeeper. He scratched his

Duane believed in his honesty.

Once in bed in the dark, Duane
composed himself to think over the
events of the evening. Why had
that desperate robber lowered his gun

and stood paralyzed at sight and
sound Of the mayor of Fairdale? This
was not answerable. There might
have been a number of reasons, all
to Colonel Longstreth's credit, but
Duane could not understand.
Next morning Duane walked up the
main street and back again. Just as
he arrived some horsemen rode up
to the inn and dismounted. And at
this juncture the Longstreth party
came out. Duane heard Colonel Long
streth utter an exclamation. Then he
saw him shake hands with tall man.
Longstreth looked surprised and
angry. and he spoke with force; but

CHAPTER XVI.

Next morning Duane mounted his
horse and headed for Fairdale. He
rode leisurely. as he wanted to learn
all he could about the country. There
were few ranches. The farther he
Travelled the better grazing he en-
countered, and, strange to note. the
fewer herds of cattle. 1t was just
sunset when he made out a cluster
of adobe houses that marked Sander
son, halfway between Bradford and
Fairdale When he drew up before
the inn the landlord and his family
and a number of loungers greeted
him laconically.
BEAT the stage in, hey?" remarked
one.
There she comes now" said an
other. "Joel shore Is drivin' to-
night"
Far down the road Duane saw a
cloud Of dust and horses and lum-
bering coach. Presently it rolled up,
a large mud-bespattered and dusty
vehicle, Uttered with baggage on top
and tied on behind. number OF
passengers alighted, three of whom
excited Duane's interest. One was a
tall, dark, striking-looking man, and
the other two were ladies, wearing
lcng gray listers and wells. Duane
heard the proprietor Of the inn ad-
dress the man as Colonel Longstreth,
and as the party entered the Inn
Duanes quick ears caught a few words
which acquainted him with the fact
that Longstreth was the mayor OF
Fairdale.

CHAPTER xv-continued.

But in striking contrast to this
mystery was the person, character,
and cold-blooded action of Poggin and
Knell, the chiefs lieutenants. They
were familiar figures in all the towns
within two hundred miles of Brad
ford. Knell had record. but as gun
man with an incredible list of victims
POggin was supreme. If Poggin had
a friend no one ever heard OF him.
There were hundred stories of his
nerve, his wonderful speed with a gun.
his passion for gambling, his love Of
a horse-his cold. implacable, inhu-
man wiping out Of his path any man
that crossed 1t.
.'Cheseldine Is a name, a terrible
name" said Colonel Webb. Some
times 1 wonder If he's not only a
name. In that case where does the
brains of this gang come from? No;
there must be master craftsman
behind this border pillage; a master
capable Of handling those terrors,

mo. Probably all the stock that's
being shipped now was rustled long
ago. Cheseldine works over a wide
section, too wide for news to travel
inside of weeks. There are some
people who think Cheseldine had
nothing to do with the bank-rObberies
and train hold-ups during the last few
years in this country. But that's poor
reasoning. The Jobs have been TOO
well done. too surely covered. to be

How's all this going to wind up7
Will the outlaw ever be driven outT'
asked Duane.
"Never. There will always be out

armies in the world couldn't comb
the wild brakes of that fifteen hun
dred miles Of river. But the sway
Of the outlaw, such as is enjoyed by
these great leaders, will sooner or
later be past. There's talk of vigil

the time will come. And the days OF

Duane When she looked at him,
drawn by his rather persistent gaze,
there was pride, fire, and passion In
her eyes. Duane felt himself blush
ing in confusion.
After supper the guests assembled
in big sittingroom where an open
fireplace with blazing mesquite sticks
gave out warm and CHEEKY glow.
Duane took seat by a table In the
corner, and, finding paper, began
to read. Presently when he glanced
up he saw two dark-faced men.
strangers who had not appeared be-
fore. They were peering in from a
doorway. When they saw Duane had
observed them they stepped back out
of sight.
1t flashed over Duane that the
strangers acted suspiciously. In Texas
In the seventies it was always bad
policy to let strangers go unheeded.
Then he went out into a patio, and
across it to little dingy, dim-lighted
barroom. Here he found the inn
keeper dispensing drinks to the two
strangers.
"Hev sometime" one Of them ask
ed, ieering. Both looked Duane up
and down.
mo thanks, I don't drink" Duane
replied, and returned their scrutiny
with interest. "How's tricks in the
Big Bend?"
Both men stared. 1t had only taken
a close glance for Duane to recognize
type of ruffian most frequently met
along the river. These strangers had
that stamp, and their surprise proved
he was right. Here the innkeeper
showed signs of uneasiness, and
seconded the surprise Of his custom
ers. No more was said at the instant,
and the two rather hurriedly went
out

"Nope. They nooned heah, comm

When Duane returned to the sitting
room Colonel Longstreth was absent,
also several of the other passengers.
Miss Ruth sat in the chair he had
vacated, and across the table from
her sat Miss Longstreth. Duane went
directly to them.
Excuse me-" said Duane, address
ing them. II want to tell you there

"Thank you; we'll be careful" said
Miss Longstreth, gracefully. The rich
color had faded in her cheek. Il saw

door. They had such bright black
eyes. Is there really danger-herer
II think So" was Duane's reply.
Soft swift steps behind him pre-

No man was quicker than Duane to
recognize the intent in those words
His hands shot up. Miss Ruth utter

into her chair. Miss Longstreth
