Duane passed inside himself to
learn that supper would soon be
ready. At table he found him
self opposite the three who had at
tracted his attention.
Ruth, l envy the lucky cowboys"
Longstreth a saying.
Ruth was a curly-headed girl with
gray or hazel eyes. "Im crazy to
ride b%ronchos." she said.
Duane gathered that she was on q
visit to western Texas. The other
girls deep voice, sweet like a bell,
made Duane regard her closer. She
did not resemble the Colonel, who
was evidently her father. She looked
tired, quiet, even melancholy. A
finely chiseled oval face, that had
something nervous and delicate about
it which made Duane think of a
thoroughbred, a mouth by no means
small, but perfectly curved, and hair
like jet proclaimed her beauty to
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-01-26

Duane could not hear what it was he
said. The fellow laughed, yet some
how he struck Duane as sullen, until
suddenly he espied Miss Longstreth.
Then his face changed, and he re-
moved his sombrero. Duane went
closer.
Floyd, did you come with the
teams?" asked Longstreth, sharply.
"Not me. 1 rode a horse, good and
hard" was the reply.
Hump! I'll have a word to say to
you later" Then Longstreth turned
to his daughter. RAY, here's the
cousin I've told you about. You used
to play with him ten years ago
Floyd Lawson. Floyd, my daughter
and my niece, Ruth Herbert"
Duane always scrutinized everyone
he met, and now with q dangerous
game to play, with a consciousness of
Longstreth's unusual and significant
personality, he bent a keen and
searching glance upon this Floyd
Lawson.
He was under thirty, yet gray at his
temples-dark, smooth-shaven, with
lines left by wildness, dissipation,
shadows under dark eyes, a mouth
strong and bitter, and a square chin
a reckless, careless, handsome, sinist-
er face strangely losing the hardness
when he smiled. The grace of a
gentleman chung round him, seemed
like an echo in his mellow voice.
Duane doubted not that he, like many
a young man, had drifted out to the
frontier, where rough and wild life
had wrought sternly but had not quite
effaced the mark of good family.
Colonel Longstreth apparently did
not share the pleasure of his daughter
and his niece in the advent of this
cousin. Something hinged on this
meeting. Duane grew intensely curl
Gus, but, as the stage appeared ready
for the journey, he had no further OPP
portunity to crafty it.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-01-26

and stood paralyzed at sight and
sound Of the mayor Of Fairdale? This
was not answerable. There might
have been q number Of reasons, all
to Colonel Longstreth's credit, but
Duane could not understand.
Next morning Duane walked up the
main street and back again. Just as
he arrived some horsemen rode up
to the inn and dismounted. And at
this juncture the Longstreth party
came out. Duane heard Colonel Long
streth utter an exclamation. Then he
saw him shake hands with a tall man.
Longstreth looked surprised and
angry, and he spoke with force; but

"Bo Snecker! He Hit Me"

quiry had brought him the fact that
Ray Longstreth had just ONE to live
with her father. Longstreth had
originally been a planter in Louisiana,
where his family had remained after
his advent in the West. He was q
rich rancher; he owned half Of Fair
dale; he was a cattle-buyer on a large
scale. Floyd Lawson was his lieuten-
ant and associate in deals.
On the afternoon of the fifth day
of Duane's stay in Fairdale he re-
turned to the inn from his usual stroll,
and upon entering was amazed to-
have a rough-loOking young fellow
rush by him out Of the door. Inside
Laramie vas lying on the floor, with
a bloody bruise Oh his face. He did
not appear to be dangerously hurt.
"Bo Snecker! He hit me and went
after the cash-drawer," said Laramie,
laboring to his feet.
"Are you hurt much?" queried
Duane.
IL guess not. But Bo needn't to
have soaked me I've been robbed
before without that"
"Well I'll take a look after b."
replied Duane.
He went out and glanced down the
street toward the center of the town.
He did not see anyone he could take
for the innkeeper's assallant. Then
he looked up the street, and he saw
the young fellow about a block away,
hurrying along and gazing back.
Dune yelled for him to stop and
started to go after him. Snecker
broke into a run. Then Duane set
out to overhaul him. There were two
motives in Duane's action-one OF
anger, and the other a desire to make
a friend of this man Laramie, who
Duane believed could tell him much.
Duane was light OH his feet, and
he had q giant stride. He gained
rapidly, kept him In sight, in the
shade, on the paths, and up the road
into the courtyard, and he saw Sneck-
er go straight for Longstreth's house.
Duane was not to be turned back
by that, singular as 1t was. He en-
tered the first door and burst into the
presence of Miss Longstreth and q
number of young people. Evidently
she was giving n little parry.
Lawson stood leaning against one
of the pillars; at sight of Duane his
face changed remarkably. expressing
amazement CONSERVATION. then faar.

"Well, like one of them cool, easy,

fright you are, Laramie; and, be-
tween you an me, 1 hope he's lOokin'
for Long"
"'S-sh !" interrupted Laramie. You
must be half drunk, to go talkin' that
way"
Thereafter they conversed in too low
a tone for Duane to hear, and presently
Laramie's visitor left. Duane went
inside, and, making himself agreeable,
began to ask casual questions about
Fairdale. Laramie was not communi-
cative.
Duane went to his room In q
thoughtful frame of mind. There was
something wrong about the mayor Of
Fairdale. The innkeeper Laramie
would be worth ~cultivating. And
last in Duane's thoughts that night
was Miss Longstreth. He could not
help thinking of her-how strangely
the meeting with her had affected
him. 1t made him remember that
%long-past time when girls had been
q part of his life. He had no right
even to dream Of a beautiful woman
like Ray Longstreth.
Several days passed. Duane did
not succeed in getting any closer to
Laramie, but he found the idlers on
the n and In front of the stores
unsuspicious and willing to talk. Ii
did not take him long to find out that
Fairdale stood parallel with Hunts
vile for gambling, drinking, and fight
ing. The street vas always lined with
dusty, saddled horses, the town full
Of strangers. Money appeared more
abundant than in any place Duane
had ever visited; and it was spent
with the abandon that spoke forcIbly
Of easy and crooked requirement
Duane decided that Sanderson, Brad
ford, and Ord were but notorious out
posts of this Fairdale, which was a.
secret center of rustlers and outlaws.
And what struck Duane strangest of
all was the fact that Longstreth was
mayor here and held court daily. In
