MacNelly paused moment In his
rapid talk, chewed his cigar, drew
his brows together in a dark frown,
and went on. "No man on the border
knows so well as you the deadly nature
of this service. It's long, long chance
against your ever coming back"
"That's not the point" said Duane.
''But in case get killed out there

Captain MacNelly. "If you lose your

CHAPTER XIV.

West of the Pecos River Texas ex-
tended vast wild region, barren in
the north where the Llano Estacado
spread its shifting sands, fertile in the
south along the Rio Grande. A rail-
road marked an underwriting course
across five hundred miles of this
country, and the only villages and
towns lay on or near this line Of steel.
Unsettled as was this western Texas,
and despite the acknowledged domi-
nance of the outlaw bands, the
pioneers pushed steadily into It.
The Rio Grande flowed almost due
south along the western boundary for
thousand miles, and then, weary of
its course, turned abruptly north, to
make what was called the Big Bend.
The railroad, running west, cut across
this bend, and all that country bound
ed on the north by the railroad and
on the south by the river was as wild
as the Staked Plains. Across the face
of this Big Bend. as II to isolate II,
stretched the Ord mountain range. In
the valleys of the foothills and out
across the plains were ranches, and
farther north, villages, and the towns
of Alpine and Maria.
Like other parts Of the great Lone
Star State, this section Of Texas was
world In itself-a world where the
riches of the rancher were ever en-
riching the outlaw. The village closest
to the gateway of this outlaw-infested
region was little place called ord,
named after the dark peak that loomed
some miles to the south.
Toward the close of a day I'm Sep
tember a stranger rode into Ord, and
In community where all men were
remarkable for one reason or another
he excited interest. His horse, per-
haps, received the first and most en-
gaglng nttention-horses In that region
being apparently more important than
men. This particular horse at first
glance seemed ugly. But he was n
giant, black as coal, huge in every
way. A bystander remarked that he
had a grand head. His face WIS solid
black, except In the middle Of his fore
head, where there was round spot
of white.
The rider, like his horse. was giant
in stature, but rangier, not so heavily
built. Otherwise the only striking
thing about him was his somber face
with its piercing eyes, and hair white
over the temples. He packed two
guns, both low down--but that was
too common thing TO attract notice
In the Big Bend. A close. observer
however. would have noted singular
fact--this riders right hand was
more bronzed. more weather-beaten
than his left. He never wore glove

That's so much more than I've dared
to hope"
"Well, it's settled, then. I'll give
you money for expenses. You'll start
us soon ns you like-the sooner the
better. hope TO think of other sug-
gcstions especially about commune
eating with me-"
Long after the lights were out and
the low hum of voices had ceased
round the campfire Duane lay awake,
eyes staring into the blackness, mar
yelling over the strange events of the
day. And as he lay there, with the
approach of sleep finally dimming the
vividness Of his thought, so fun Of
mystery. shadowy faces floatcd in the
blackness around him, haunting him
as he had always been haunted.
It. was broad daylight when he
awakened. MacNelly was calling him
to breakfast.
The rangers were eating in a circle
round tarpaulip spread upon the
ground.
Fellows" said MncNelly, "shake
hands with Buck Duane. He's on
secret ranger service for me. Service
thatll likely make you all hump soon
Mind you, keep mum about It,"
The rangers surprised Duane with a
roaring greeting, the warmth of which
he soon divlned was divided between
pride of his acquisition to their ranks
and eagerness to meet that violent
service of which their captain hinted
They were jolly, wild fellows, with
just enough gravity in their welcome
to show Duane their respect and mp
probation, while not forgetting his
| lone-wolf record. When he had seated
himself In that circle, now one OF
them, n feeling subtle and uplifting
| pervaded him.
After the meal Captain MacNelly
drew Duane aside.
"Here's the money. Make II go a'
far as you can. Write me care Of tho
adJutant at Austin. I don't have tC
warn you to be careful where yor

hundred miles, II necessary, or go cleai
to Ell Paso."
MacNelly stopped with an air o.
finality, and then Duane slowly rose

ing his hand to the Captain. 81 wish

turning to the bar, he ordered liquor.
The tension relaxed, the silence
broke, the men filed up the gap; the
incident seemed closed. Jim Fletcher
attached himself to the stranger, and
now both respect and friendliness
tempered his asperlty.

Such was Buck Duane's debut IN
the little outlaw hamlet of Ord.
Duane hao been three months out

find, and, armed and otherwise out
fitted to suit him, he had taken to
unknown trails. He passed on leisure
ly, because he wanted to learn
the way of the country, the work,
habit, gossip. pleasures, and fears
of the people with whom he
came In contact. When he heard
Fletcher's name and faced Knell he
knew he had reached the place he
sought.

having a care for his horse. he rode
out Of town a couple Of miles to a
grove he had marked. and there. well
hidden he prepared to spend the
night. This proceeding. served a
double purpose-he was safer, and
the habit would look well In the eyes
of outlaws, who would be more In

task impossible for any man save one
like him, he had felt the meaning OF
IL grow strangely and wonderfully,
and through that hourlshed up con.
sciousness OF how passionately he now
clung TO this thing which would blot
out his former infamy. He never
forgot that he was free. Strangely
too along with this feeling of new
manhood there gathered the force OF
imperlous desire to run these chief
outlaws to their dooms. He never
called them outlaws-but rustlers

TO find land exactly suited for this pur-

posts will be designated, such as Fort
d. A. Russell in Wyoming; Fort Ethan
Allen. in Vermont, Gettysburg National
Park. Sparta. Wis. and Chickamauga.
Both the War and Navy departments
are embarrassed by the lack of canvas
in this country. and this seriously al
fects the plans for supplying soldiers
and sailors and marines with tentage
and with the type Of cot usually en-
ploved. This lack of tents will make 1t
necessary to bald temporary struct-
ures to shelter the troops, where the
tcntage is not sufficient and where the
permanent army post buildings fail to
meet requirements. Negotiations are
in progress with manufacturers IN New
York to supply an inexpensive type OF
iron bed.
