Duane sank deeper into the shadow
Of his covert, and, stiffening his
muscles for a protratted spell Of
rightly, prepared to listen with all
acuteness and intensity. Just one
word from this Lawson, inadvertently
uttered in a moment Of passion, might
be the word Duane needed for his
clue.
1T happened at the town hail." be-
gan Lawson, rapidly. ''Your father
and Judge Owens and I were there
in consultation with three ranchers
from out of town. Then that damned
ranger stalked In dragging Snecker,
the fellow who hid here in the house.
He had arrested Snecker for alleged
assault on q restaurant-keeper named
Laramie. Snecker being obviously in
nocent, he was discharged. Then this
ranger began shouting insults. Law
was farce In Fairdale. The court
was q farce. There was no law. Your
father was afraid Of the rustiers,
highwaymen, murderers. He was
afraid or--he Just let them alone. He
used his Office to cheat fanchers and
cattlemen in lawsuits. All this the
ranger yelled for everyone to hear.
A damnable outrage. Your father,
Ray, insulted in his own court by
rowdy ranger!"
"Oh" cried .Ray Longstreth, in
mingled distress and anger.
1.-THE ranger service wants to rule
western Texas" went on Lawson.
"These rangers are all low set.
This is one Of the worst Of the lot.
He's to be feared. He would kill. II

papa not to, worry. Surely after all
these years he can't be injured In

Eyes, he can be injured" replied
Floyd, quickly. "The frontier is

wonderfully successful. The ranger
has dropped poison, and 1t IL spread"

Then Duane went from place to
place, corner to corner, bar to bar,
watching, listening, recording. The
excitement had preceded him, and
speculation was rife. He thought
best to keep out of 1t. After dark
he stole up to Longstreth's ranch.
The evening was warm; the doors
were open; and in the twilight the
only lamps that had been lit were In
Longstreth's big sitting-room, at the
far end Of the house. When buck
board drove up and Longstreth and
Lawson alighted, Duane was well
hidden in the bushes, SO well screened
that he could get but fleeting
glimpse Of Longstreth as he went In.
For all Duane could see, he appeared
to be a calm and quiet man, intense
beneath the surface, with an air OF
dignity under insult. Duane's chance
to observe Lawson was lost. They
went into the house without speaking
and closed the door.
At the other end of the porch, close
under a window, was an Offset be
tween step and wall, and there in
the shadow Duane hid. SO Duane
waited there in the darkness with
patience born of many hours Of hid
ing.
Presently lamp was lit; and
Duane heard the swish Of skirts.
Something's happened surely.

anxiously. Papa just met me In

Duane paused in his cold, ringing
speech. In the silence, both outside
and inside the hall, could be heard
the deep breathing Of agitated men.
Longstreth was indeed a study. Yet
did he betray anything but rage at
this interloper.
''L0ngstreth, here's plain talk for
