CAPS AND GOWNS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
ESPECIAL eo.assrorosses TO MORNING Iouss.,


Clovis, n. NJ, May 12.-The senior
class of the Clovis high school this
year. and perhaps in the years to
come. will appear before the audi
enee in caps and gowns at the com
mencement exercises.
The cap and gown idea is not of the
seniors choosing. on the other hand
If they had been allowed to follow the
plans as at first outlined, solomon in
all his glory would not have been ar
rayed like one of them. And this IS
what got the seniors into trouble. or,
rather brought forth the cap ana
gown decree from the superintendent
and the principal of the schools. In
other words. some of the seniors
wanted to spend small fortune on
clothes while others in the class
could only afford moderately priced
wearing apparel. SO to avoid any un-
necessary expenditure Of money on
clothes, and at the same time to have
the graduates all clad alike, the cap
and gown decree went forth.

joyed such beautiful spot. He saw good many Mexicans, who, of course, were hand and glove with Bland. Also he saw enormous. flat-boats, crude of structure, moored along the banks of the river. The Rio Grande rolled away between high bluffs. A cable, sagging deep in the middle, was stretched over the wide yellow stream, and an old scow, evidently used as a ferry, lay anchored on the far shore.
 The valley was an ideal retreat for an outlaw band operating on big scale. Pursuit scarcely need be feared over the broken trails of the Rim Rock. And the open end of the valley could be defended against almost any number of men coming down the river.
 Duane must have idled considerable time up on the hill, for when he re- turned to the sback Euchre was busily engaged around the campfire.

CHAPTER V.

Buane looked around him for book the printed matter he could find con- sisted of few words on cartridge boxes and an advertisement on the back of tobacco pouch. There seemed to be nothing for him to do. He had rested; he did not want to lie down any more. He began to walk to and fro, from one end of the room to the other. And as he walked he fell into the lately acquired habit of breeding over his misfortune
 Suddenly he strengthened up with a jerk. Unconsciously he had drawn his gun. Standing there with the bright, cold weapon in his hand, he looked at it in consternatiOn. How had he come to draw it? It might have come from a subtle sense, scarcely thought of at all, of the late, close and inevitable re- iation between that weapon and him. self He was amazed to find that. bit ter as he had grown of late the desire to live burned strong in him. Life certainly held no bright prospects for him. Already he had begun to despair of ever getting back to his home. But to give up like white-hearted coward, to let himself be handcuffed and jailed, to run from a drunken, brag- ging cowboy, or be shot in cold blood by some border brute who merely wanted to add another notch to his gun-these things were impossible for Duane because there was in him the temper to fight.
 In that hour he yielded only to fate and the spirit inborn in him. Here after this gun must be living part of him. Right then and there he re- turned to practice he had long dis continued-the draw It was now q stern, bitter, deadly business with him. He did not need to fire the gun, for accuracy was a gift and had be- come assured. SwiftneSS on the draw, however, could be improved, and he set himself to acquire the limit of speed possible to any man. He stood still in his tracks: he paced the room !; he sat down, lay down, put himself in awkward positions; and from every position he practiced throwing his gun-practiced it till he was hot and tired and his arm ached and his hand burned. That practice he determined to keep up every day. It was one thing, at least, that would help pass the weary hours.
 Later he went outdoors to the cooler shade of the cottonwoods. From this point he could see a good deal of the valley. Under different circumstances, Duane felt that he would have en-

 Jennie, come out or let us come in. Here's the young man was tellin' you about" Euchre said. Come out, Jennie, an mebbe he'll"
 Euchre did not complete his sen- tence. But what he said was sufficient to bring the girl quickly. She ap- peared in the doorway with downcast eyes and stain of red in her white cheek. She had q pretty, sad face and bright hair.
 Don't be bashful, Jennie" said Euchre. You an Duane have q chance to talk little. Now I'll go fetch Mrs. Bland, but l won't be hur- ryin'."
 With that Euchre went away through the cottonwoodS.
 I'm glad to meet you, Miss-MisS Jennie" said Duane. "Euchre didn't mention your last name. He asked me to come over to-" Duane's attempt at pleasantly halted short when Jennie lifted her lashes to look at him. Some kind of q shock went through Duane. Her gray eyes were beautiful, but it had not been beauty that cut short his speech. He seemed to see n tragic struggle be- tween hope and doubt that shone in her piercing gaze. She kept looking, and Duane could not break the silence. It was no ordinary moment.
 "What did you come here for?" she asked at last.
 "Well-Euchre thought-he wanted me to talk to you, cheer you up a bit" replied Duane, somewhat lamely. The earnest eyes embarrassed him.
 "Euchre's good He's the only person in this awful place who's been good to me. But he's afraid of Bland. He said you were different. Who are youP
 Duane told her.
 You're not robber or rustler or murderer or some bad man come here to hide?"
 "No, I'm not" replied Duane, trying to smile. I'm on the dodge You know what that means. I got in a shooting-scrap at home and had to run off. When it blows over l hope to go back"
 "Oh, l know what these outlaws are. Yes, you're different" She kept the strained gaze upon him, but hope was kindling, and the hard lines of her youthful face were softening. Something sweet and warm stirred deep in Duane as he realized the un- | fortunate girl was experiencing birth | of trust in him. Then the glow began | to fade; doubt once more assailed her.

 Later, after he had left Mrs. Bland with meaning "Adios-manana," acd was walking along besides the old out law, he found himself thinking of the girl instead of the woman. and of how he had seen her face blaze with hope and gratitude.

 'Yes, it's me, Jennie. Where's Mrs. Bland?" answered Euchre.
 ''She went over to Deger's. There's somebody sick" replied the girl.
 Euchre turned and whispered some thing about luck. The snap of the
