CHAPTER XVI.

On the morning of the twenty-sixth
Duane rode into Bradford in time to
catch the early train. His wound did
not seriously incapacitate him. Long
streth was with him. And Miss Long
streth and Ruth Herbert would not
be left behind. They were all leaving
Fairdale forever. Longstreth mad
turned over the whole of his property
to Morton, who was to divide 1t as he
and his comrades believed just.
Duane had left Fairdale with his
party by night, passed through Sander
son in the early hours Of dawn. and
reached Bradford as he had planned.
That fatal morning found Duane
outwardly calm, but inwardly he was
in tumult. He wanted to rush to
Val Verde. Would Captain MacNelly
be there with his rangers, as Duane
had planned for them to be? Memory
Of that tawny Poggin returned with
strange passion. Duane had borne
hours and weeks and months of wait

the rush of the wind. Something drag
ged at him.
Apparently one side Of his mind was
unalterably fixed, while the other was

almost involuntarily, he hurried faster
on Action seemed to mike his state
less oppressive; 1t eased the weight.
But the farther he went on the harder
1t was to continue. Had he turned his
back upon love, happiness, perhaps on
life itself?
There seemed no use to go on far
ther until he was absolutely sure Of
himself. Duane received clear
warning thought that such work as
The Elbert County tribune., 1917-01-19

seemed haunting and driving him
could never be carried out In the mood
under which he labored. He hung on
to that thought. Several times he
slowed up, then stopped only to go on
again. At length. as he mounted Il
low ridge, Fairdale lay bright and
green before him, not far away and
the sight was u conclusive check.
There were mesquites on the ridge.
and Duane sought the shade beneath
them. 1t was the noon-hour. with hot.
glary sun and no wind. Here Duane
had to have out his fight. Duane was
utterly unlike himself; he could not
bring the old self back; he was not
the same man he once had been. But
he could understand why. 1t was be-
cause of Ray Longstreth. Temptation
assailed him. To have her his wife
1t was impossible. The thought was
insidiously alluring. Duane pictured
home. He saw himself riding through
tho cotton and rice and cane, home to
stately old mansion, where long
cared hounds bayed him welcome,
and a woman looked for him and met
him with happy and beautiful smiles.
There might-there would be children.
And something new, strange, con-
founding with its emotion, came to life
deep in Duane's heart. There would
be children Ray their mother The
kind of life D lonely outcast always
yearned for and never had He saw
it all. felt 1t all.
But beyond and above all other
claims came Captain MacNelly's. 1t
was then there was something cold and
deathlike In Duane's soul. For he knew
whatever happened, of one thing he
was sure-he would have to kill either
Longstreth or Lawson. Longstreth
might be trapped into arrest; but Law
son had no sense, no control, no fear.
He would snarl like panther and go
for his gun, and he would have to be
killed. This, of all consummations, was
the one to be calculated upon.
Duane came out of it all bitter and
callous and sore-in the most fitting of
moods to undertake difficult and
deadly enterprise. He had fallen upon
his old, strange, futile dreams, now
rendered poignant by reason of love.
He drove AWAY those dreams. In their
place came the images Of the olive
skinned Longstreth with his sharp
eyes, and the dark, evil-faced Lawson,
and then returned tenfold more thrill
inx and sinister the old strange pas
sion to meet Poggin-
1t was about one o'clock when
Duane rode into Fairdale. The streets
for the most part were deserted. He
went directly to find Morton and Zim-
mer. He found them at length, rest
less. somber, anxious, but unaware of
the pnrt he had played at Ord. They
said Longstreth was home too. 1t
was POSSIBLE that Longstreth had ar
rived home in ignorance.
Duane told them 10 he on hand in
town with their men in case he might
need them, and then with his teeth
locked he set OF for Longstreth's
ranch.
Duane strode through the bushes
and trcea and when nearing the porch
he heard loud, angry, familiar voices.

guided him, He had no plan for ac-
tion but his brain vas equal to q
The Elbert County tribune., 1917-01-19
CHAPTER XIV.

Duane returned to Fairdale and
camped in the mesquite till the twenty
third of the month. The few days
seemed endless. All he could think
of was that the hour in which he must
disgrace Ray Longstreth was slowly
but inexorably coming. In that wait
ing time he learned what love was
and nlso duty. When the day ut last
dawned he rode like one possessed
down the rough slrpe. liurling stones
