CHAPTER XIV.

Like a swift shadow and as noise
less Duane stole across the level
toward the dark wall Of rock. Every
nerve was a strung wire. For little
while his mind was cluttered and
clogged with whirling thoughts, from
which, like flashing scroll, unrolled
the long, battling order Of action. The
game was now in his hands. He must
cross Mount Ord at night. The feat
was improbable, but it might be done.
He must ride into Bradford, forty
miles from the foothills, before eight
o'clock next morning. He must tele-
graph MacNelly to be in Val Verde
on the twenty-fifth. He must ride
back to Ord to intercept Knell, face
him, and while the iron was hot strike

Failing that last, he must let the out
laws alone to bide their time in Ord,

In Val Verde. In the meantime he
must plan to arrest Longstreth. 1t
was magnificent outline, incredible,
alluring, unfathomable in it's nameless
certainty. He felt like fate. He
seemed to be the iron consequences
falling upon these doomed outlaws.
Under the wall the shadows were
black, only the tips Of trees and crags
showing, yet he went straight to the
trail. 1t was merely a grayness be.

| and never stopped. It did not seem
steep. His feet might have had eyes
He surmOunted the wall, and, looking
down into the ebony gulf pierced by
one point of light, he lifted a menac-
ing arm and shook it. Then he strobe
on, and did not falter till he reached
the huge shelving cliffs. Here he lost
the trail; there was none; but he re-
membered the shapes, the points, the
notches of rock above. Before he

and, like a goat, jumped from rock to

drawing paper from his vest pocket,
he began to study it.

"My Gawd, Dodge, what ID you bust
in here fer?" he said, plaintively, and
slowly stepped forward. His action
was that of a man true to himself.
He meant he had been sponsor for.
Duane and now he would stand by
him.
"Back, Fletcher" called Duane, and
his voice made the outlaw jump.
"Hold on, Dodge, an you-aH, every
body" said Fletcher. "Let me talk,
SEEM I'm in the wrong here"
His persuasions did not ease the
strain.
"Go ahead. Talk" said Poggin.
Fletcher turned to Duane. "Pard,
I'm takin' it on myself thet you meet
enemies here when I swore you'd meet
you if you let me-"
"No, Jim," replied Duane.
"But what d you come fer without

distress. He saw nothing but catas-
trophe in this meeting.
"Jim, I amt pressin' my company

Fletcher stopped him with a raised
hand. Then he turned to Poggin with
a rude dignity.
"Poggy, he's my pard, an he's riled.

more use fer him than fer me. Now.

While Fletcher toiled over his slow.
earnest persuasion Duane had his
gaze riveted upon Poggin. There was
something leonine about Poggin. He
was tawny. He blazed. He seemed
beautiful. But looked at closer with
glance seeing the physical man, instead
of that thing which shone from him, he
was of perfect build, with muscles
that swelled and rippled, pulging his
| clothes, with the magnificent head and
face Of the cruel, fierce, tawny-eyed
/ jaguar.
Looking at this strange Poggin, in
stinctively divining his abnormal and
hideous power, Duane had for the
first time in his life the inward quak-
| ing fear Of a man. 1t was like a
cold-tongued bell ringing within him
and numbing his heart. The old
instructive firing Of blood followed, but
did not drive away that fear. He
knew. He felt something here deeper
than thought could go. And he hated
Poggin.
That individual had been considering
Fletcher's appeal.
"Jim, I ante up" he said, IAN If
Phil doesn't raise us out with a big
hand-why, he'll get called, an your
pard can set in the game"
Every eye shifted to Knell. He was
dead white. He laughed, and anyone
hearing that laugh would have realized
his intense anger equally with an as
surance which made him master Of the
situation.
"Poggin, you're gambler, you are
the ace-high, straight-fush hand Of the
Big Bend" he said, with stinging
scorn. "Tll bet you my roll to a
greaser peso that I can deal you q
hand you'll be afraid to play"
"Phil, you're talkin' Wild" .growled

cold, gray eyes. And Longstreth, who
leaned against the wall, handsome,
with his dark face and beard like an
aristocrat, resembled many rich
Louisiana planter Duane had met.
Panhandle Smith carried pots and
pans into the cabin, and cheerfully
called out: eff you gents air hungry
fer grub, don't look fer me to feed
you with a spoon"
The outlaws piled inside, made a
great hustle and clatter as they sat
to their meal. Like hungry men, they
talked little.
Duane waited there for while, then
guardedly got up and crept round to
the other side of the cabin, After he
became used to the dark again he
ventured to steal along the wall to the
window and peeped in. The outlaws
were in the first room and could not
be seen.
The Benson signal., 1917-01-13

| direct line with the light, and thus was
able to see better. Then he advanced
noiselessly but swiftly toward the back
of the house. There were trees close
to the wall. He would make no noise
and he could scarcely be seen-if only
there was no watchdog! But all his
outlaw days he had taken risks with
only his useless life at stake; now.
with that changed, he advanced
stealthy and bold as an Indian. He
reached the cover Of the trees, knew
he was hidden in their shadows, for
at few PAGES distance he had been
able to see only their tops. From
there he slipped up to the house and
felt along the wall with his hands.
He came to little window where
light shone through. He peeped in.
He saw a room shrouded in shadows.
a lamp turned low, table, chairs.
He saw an open door. with bright flare
beyond, but could not see the fire.
Voices came indistinctly. He went on
round that end Of the cabin. Fortune
favored him. There were bushes, an
old shed, a wood-pile, all the cover
he needed at that corner. He did not
even need to crawl.
Before he peered between the rough
corner of wall and the bush growing
close to it, Duane paused a moment.
This excitement was different from
that he had always felt when pursued.
1t had no bitterness, no pain, no dread.
There was as much danger here, per-
haps more, yet it was not the same.
Then he looked.
He saw a bright fire, red-faced
man bending over it, whistling, while
he handled a steaming pot. Over him
was a rooted shed built against the
wall, with two open sides and two
supporting posts. Duane's second
glance, not so blinded by the sudden
bright light, made out other men,
three in the shadow, two in the flare,
but with backs to him.
"It's a smoother trail by long odds,
but amt so short as this one right
over the mountain" one outlaw was
saying.

'It took you long time to get here,

up smooth, suave voice with ring

New Haven.

Bristol, Aug. 3.-During thunder
shower Wednesday afternoon lightning
struck large hay and cattle barn on
the farm of Edgar Marceill, in the east
ern part of New Haven, three miles west
of this village, setting it on fire. The
barn and contents, mainly hay, were
burned Another barn, full of hay, also
burned. Help summoned from this viii
lage formed a bucket brigade and by
hard work, saved the house and other
buildings on his farm. The loss is about
$4,000. An insurance of $4,000 on the
house, barns and their contents was car

NO CERTAIN BAR
If Drafted Men Get Married in the
Meantime.

Washington, d. C., Aug. 3. Local
boards were formally instructed by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder last night
that they may well hold that a marriage
recently contaminated, especially by a
registrant after he has been called for
examination, does not create a status of
dependency justifying immunity from
conscription.
Tho selcctive service law read the
instructions, docs not require discharges
in all eases Of technical legal dependen-
cy, but only permits discharges where in
view OF dependency discharge is adyis-
able. Local boards may well hold that a
marriage hastily consummated recently,
and especially one eonsummated by
person after he has been called to present
himself for examination TO determine his
fitness for military service. docs not Gre

WANT PAPER EXCLUDED.
Publishers of the Masses Ask Court to
Dissolve Injunction.

Windsor, Aug. 3.-A hearing was held
here yesterday before Judge Charles N.
Hough of the United States court of ap-
peals of New York state on the mat
ter of an. order signed by Judge Hand
of New York restraining the postmaster
at New York City from barring from the
mails the August issue of The Masses,

Because of Objectionable matter this
issue of the publication was barred from
the mails and on July 2l the publishing
company obtained from Judge Hand an
order restraining the postmaster from
excluding the issue. Yesterdays hearing
was on the petition of the postmaster to
have the order vacated.
The government was represented by
Earl B. Barnes of New York, assistant
u. S. solicitior for the postoffice depart
ment. The publishing company was rep
resented by Attorney Gilbert +. Rowe Of
New York. A decision is expected with
in few days.

ROOSEVELT ON BOARD
For Looking After the Food Supply in
New York State.

| Albany, n. Y, Aug. 3.-Theodore
Roosevelt, James w. Wadsworth OF Liv'
ingston county, Republican, and father
of United States Senator Wadsworth,
and Morgan j. o'Brien of New York,
Democratic vice president of the last
constitutional convention, are named as
the proposed state food commission In
hill introduced at the special session
of the legislature last night by the
| legislative war committee.
The measure, broad and sweeping IN
its provisions, is designed to supplement
the federal food control bill and also to
place some important restrictions on
trade wholly within the state.
The war committee virtually threw
bomb shell into state politics when II
named the proposed food commissioners
in its measure. Governor Whitman, who
had called the legislature into extraor-
binary session to enact food legislation,
had more than strongly intimated that
he would like to name the commission
and that George w. Perkins would be
the chairman. just how the governor
will receive the war committees decis-
ion to name the commissioners is prob
lematical.
Majority Leader Brown of the Senate,
chairman of the war committee, and who
drew most of the bill, said that so far
as he knew none of the proposed new
commissioners had been asked if he
would accept the position.
The committee also went against the
wishes in other respects. The
draft of food control measure, which |
was drawn in the governors office and |
which has not been introduced, con- |
tanned provision for state seizure of |
foods in case of emergency. The war
committee bill contains none.
II does, however, contain one drastic
section for the regulation of unfair prac-
tices and another which would give mu-
in time of famine or extra
ordinary food shortage, power to pur
chase food upon municipal credit and sell
il to its residents. The measure also
would empower the commission to reg
llate menus in hotels, restaurants and
public eating houses, should it deem such
regulations necessary.
