CHAPTER Xxx.

After supper Duane stole out for
his usual evenings spying at Long
streth'S ranch-hOuse. When he reach
ed the edge of the shrubbery he saw
LOngStreth's door open, flashing q
broad bar of light in the darkness.
Lawson crossed the threshold, the
door closed, and all was dark again
outside. Not a ray of light escaped
from the window. Duane tiptOed to-
the door and listened, but could hear
only a murmer of voices. Besides,
that position was too risky He went
round the corner Of the house,
This side Of the big adobe house
the back of the larger part There
was narrow passage between the
houses, leading from the outside
through to the patio.
This passage now afforded Duane
an opportunity, and he decided to
avail himself Of it in spite Of the
very great danger. Crawling on very
stealthily, he got under the shrubbery
to the entrance Of the passage. In
the blackneSS a faint streak of light
showed the location of a crack in
the wall. He had to slip in sidewise.
1t was a tight squeeze, but he entered
without the slightest noise When he
got there the crack he had marked
was a foot over his head There was
nothing TO do but find toe-holds in
the crumbling walls, and by bracing
knees on one side, back against the
other, hold himself up.~ Once with
his eye there he did not care what
risk he ran. Longstreth appeared dis
turbed; he sat strs,hing his muStache;
his brow was clouded. Lawson's face
seemed darker, more sullen, yet light
ed by some indSmitable resolve.
Wen settle both deals tonight"
Lawson was saying. THAI ) what |
came for"

forward. His long arm swept up.
And Lawson staggered backward,
knocking table and chairs, to fall
hard, in half-sittfng posture against
the wall.
Don't draw!" warned Duane.
Lawson, git away from your gun"
yelled Laramie.
But Lawson was crazed with fury.
He tugged at his hip. his face corded
with purple welts, malignant, murder
Gus. Duane kicked the gun out of
his hand. Lawson got up, raging, and
rushed out.
Laramie lifted his shaking hands.

walled. 'He was DRAWN On you.

''Longstretll. said Duane, in voice
that carried far and held those who
heard. amy honest citizen of Fair
dale can now see what's plain. In
the two years you've been mayor
you've never arrested one rustler.
Strange, when Fairdale's a nest for
rustlersl You've never sent a prison
er to Del Rio, let alone to Austin.
You have no Jail. There have been
nine murders during your office
innumerable street-fghts and hold-ups.
Not one arrest. There have been law
suits in your court-suits over water
rights, cattle deals, property lines.
Strange how in these lawsuits you or
Lawson or other men close to you
were always involved! Strange how
it seems the law was stretched TO
favor your interestI'
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 fnterloper.
'LOngStreth, here's plain tank for
you and Fairdale," went on Duane.
81 don't accuse you and your court Of
dishonesty. I say strange! Law here
has been a farce. The motive behind
all this laxity isn't plain to me-yet.
But l call your hand !"

"Oh, Floyd! The unspeakable

sionately.

with feeling. "After a moments

Longstreth said something in an
undertone to Judge Owens, and that
worthy nodded his great bushy head.
"Bo, you're discharged" said Long
streth, bluntly. Nov the rest of you
clear out of here"
He absolutely ignored the ranger.
That was his rebuff to Duane-his
slap in the face to an interfering
ranger service. If Longstreth was
crooked he certainly had magnificent
nerve. Duane almost decided he was
above suspicion. But his noncha-
lance, his air of finality, his authorit-
alive assurance-these to Duane's
keen and practised eyes were in sig
nificant contrast to a certain tense
ness of line about the mouth and a
slow paling of his olive skin.
Then the prisoner Snecker with a
cough that broke the spell of silence,
shuffled a couple of steps toward the
door.
Hold on" called Duane. The call
halted Snecker, as if it had been a
bullet.
"Longstreth, 1 saw Snecker attack

ringing. what has the court to say

Duane. "Pye letters from Fairdale

Longstreth turned white. The veins
corded at his temples. He appeared
about to burst into rage. He was at
loss for quick reply.
Floyd Lawson rushed in and up to
the table. The blood showed black
and thick in his face; his utterance
was incoherent, his uncomfortable
outbreak Of temper seemed out Of all
proportion to any cause he should
reasonably have had for anger. Long
streth showed him back with d curse
and warning glare.
mat passionate reply of Long
streth's was the signal Duane had
been waiting for. He had helped on
the crisis. He wanted to force Long
streth's hand and show the town his
stand.
Duane. backed clear of everybody.
Men! [ call on you all !" cried
Duane, piercingly. Il call on you to

vented by Longstreth, mayor of Fair
dale. 1t will be recorded in the re-
port to the Acknowledgement at
