Duane could not get the meaning Of
her incoherent reply. He rode on, and
soon he could not see the trail or hear
his horse. He did not know whether
they travelled a mile or many times
that far. But he was conscious when
the horse stopped. and had vague
sense of falling and feeling Jennie's
arms before all became dark to him.
When consciousness returned he
found himself lying in little hut Of
mesquite branches. It was well built
and evidently some years old. Duane
felt weak and had no desire to move.

Intangible sense of time, distance, of
something far behind weighed upon

doze.
Awakening from this, he saw Jennie
sitting beside him. In some way she
seemed to have changed. When he
spoke she gave a start and turned
eagerly to him.
Duane !" she cried.
Hello. How re you, Jennie, and
how am I?' he said, finding it little
difficult to talk.
"Oh, Pm all right" she replied.
"And you've come to-your wounds
healed; but you've been sick. FeveN
I guess. I did all I could"
Duane saw now that the difference
in her was a whiteness and tightness
