of the way, secin' Ord was so close.
Anybody come in here late last night
or enrly this m%ornin'?"
"Nopc," replied Fletcher.
His response was what Duane had
expected from his manner, and evil
IDENTITY the cowboy took 1t as n matter
OF course. He turned to the others
of the posse, entering into n low CON
suitatlon. Evidently there was differ
ence OF opinion, II not real ~dlssension,
In that posse.
"Didn't I tell We this was n Wild

protested an old hawk-faced rancher.

"Tm not sure Of that" replied the
leader.
"wal. Guthrie, I've follored tracks

menace was In the tone, not the con

~You can-an' be damned TO you

Fletcher, standing out alone before
the others Of his clan, watched tn,

CHAPTER XXI.

A low cry greeted Duane. The
room was light. He saw Ray Long
streth sitting on her bed In her dress
ing-gown. With n warning gesture to
her to be silent he turned 10 close the
door. 1t was n heavy door without
bolt or bar, and when Duane had shut
II he felt safe only for the moment.
Then he gazed around the Dom
There was one window with blind
closely drawn. He listened and seem
ed to hear footsteps %retreating, dying
away.
Then Duane turned 10 Miss Long
streth. She had slipped OFF the bed,
hatf 10 her knees, and was holding out
trembling hands. She was as white
as the pillow OF her bed. She was
terribly frightened. Again with warn
Ing hand commanding silence, Duane
stepped softly forward, meaning to
reassure her.
oh she whispered wildly; and
Duane thought she was going TO faint.
When he got close and looked into
her eyes he understood the strange,
dark expression In them. She was
terrified because she believed he
meant TO kill her, or do worse, prob
ably worse. Duane realized he must
have looked pretty hard and fierce
bursting into her room with that big
gun In hand.
The way she searched Duane's face
with doubtful, fearful EYES hurt him.
"Listen. | didn't know this was

men. They heard me, but did not see
me. They dol't know who was listen
Ing. They're after me now"
Her eyes changed from blank CULTS
TO dilating, shadOwing, q%uickening
windows of thought.
Then she stood up and faced Duane
with the fire and intelligence Of a
woman In her eyes.
Tell me now. You were spying on
Uy fatherT'
Briefly Duane told her what had
happened before he entered her room,
not emitting n terse word as 10 the
Character OF the men he had watched,

And right of | hated Floyd Lawson,
oh, Il II kill me lf-if- It's so much
worse than l dreamed. What shall
I do?"
The sound OF soft steps somewhere
near distracted Duane's attention
reminded him OF her peril, and now
what counted more with him. made
clear the probability Of being discover
ed In her room.
"I1i have TO get out Of here
whispered Duane.
"Wait." she replied. "Didn't yoI
say they wer hunting for your"
"They sure are" he returned, grim
.ly.
"Oh. then you mustn't go. The,
