CHAPTER XIV.

Like swift shadow and as noise
less Duane stole across the level
toward the dark wall of rock. Every
nerve was strung wire. For n little
while his mind was cluttcred 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 Mt 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
sOn the twenty-fifth. He must ride
back to Ord to intercept Knell, face
him, and while the iron was hot srrike

as he had wholly won Fletcher's

must plan to arrest Longstreth. It

alluring, unfathomable in its nameless
certainty. He felt like fate. He
seemed to be the iron consequences
failing 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-
tween borders of black. He climbed
and never stopped. It did not seem
steep. His feet might have had eyes.
He surnounted the wall, and, looking
down into the ebony gulf pierced by
one point of light. he lifted menac-
ing arm and shook 1t. 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-

listened, but boldly pushed the door
And stepped inside.
The big room was full Of men, and
every face pivoted toward him,
Knell's pale face flashed into Duane's
swift sight; then Boldt's, then Blossom
Kane's, then Panhandle Smiths, then
Fletcher's, then others that were fami'
liar, and last that of Poggin. Though
Duane had never seen Poggin or heard
him described, he knew him. For he
saw a face that was a record Of great
and evil deeds.
There was absolute silence. The
outlaws were lined back OF a long
table upon which were papers, stacks
of silver coin, u bundle of bills, and a
huge gOld-mounted gun.
"Are you gents lookin' for met"
asked Duane. He gave his voice all
the ringing force and power Of which

Yes," replied Duane, and flash Of
insight made clear Knelrs attitude.
"You met him-forced him to draw

"Hardin was the best pard ever
had"
His teeth clicked together tight, and
his lips set in thin line.
The room grew still. Even breathing
ceased. The time for words had pass

crouched. His eyes had a soul-pierc-
ing fire.
Duane watched him. He waited.
He caught the thought-the breaking
of Knell's muscle-bound rigidity. Then
he drew.
Through the smoke Of his gun he
saw two red spurts of flame. Knell's
bullets thudded into the ceiling. He
fell with a scream like wild thing
in agony.
Duane did not see Knell die. He
watched Poggin. And Poggin. like a
stricken and astounded man. looked
down upon his PROSTATE comrade.
Fletcher ran at Duane with hands
aloft.
"Hit the trail, you liar. or you'll
hev to kill mel" he yelled.
With hands still up, he shouldered
and bodied Duane out of the room.
Duane leaped on his horse, spurred,
and plunged away.

free of anything, with the outlaws all
before him.
Knell stood quivering, but his face
might have been a mask. The other
outlaws looked from him to Duane.
Jim Fletcher flung up his hands.
'My Gawd, Dodge, what d you bust
In here fer?" he said, plaintively, and
slowly stepped forward. His action
was that of 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-all, 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' 1t on myself thet you meet
enemies here when swore you'd meet
friends. It's my fault. Ill stand by
sou If you let me-"
"No, Jlm," replied Duane.
"But what d you come fer without
the signal?" burst out Fletcher in
distress. He saw nothing but catas-
trople in this meeting.
"Jim, amt pressin' my company
none. But when I'm wanted bad"
Fletcher stopped him with a raised
hand. Then he turned to Poggin with
q rude dignity.
"Poggy, he's my pard, an he's riled.
I never told him word tibet d make
him sore. only said Knell hadn't no
more use fer him than fer me. Now,
what you say goes in this gang. I
never failed you in my life. Here's
my pard. vouch fer him. Will you
stand fer me? There's goin' to be hell
IL YOU don't. An us with q big Job.
on hand"
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. bulging 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. It was like
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 60. And he hated
Poggin.
That individual had been considering
Fletcher's appeal.
"Jim, ante up." he said, "an' II
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 tho
situation.
"Poggin. you're a gambler, you are
the ace-high, straight-fush hand of the
Big Bend" he said. with stinpine
scorn. "1'll bet you my roll to a
greaser peso that I can deal You =

"Phil, you're talkin' Wild" growled
Poggin, with both advice and menace
in his tone.
