bert, hhrrtedly, his hands on the other
mans arm.
Aiken nodded coolly. Duane, who
had seen many men in perfect control
of themselves under circumstances like
these, recognized the spirit that domi-
mated Aiken. He was white, cold,
passionless. There were lines of bitter
grief deep round his lips. If Duane
ever felt the meaning Of death he felt
it then.
"Sure this s your game, Aiken"
said Sibert. "But hea. me a minute.
I reckon you'd better hold on till you
near what he has to say"
Then for the first time the drawn
faced, hungry-eyed giant turned his
gaze upon Duane. He had Intelligence
which was not yet subservient to pas
sion. Moreover, he seemed the kind
of man Duane would care to have

his eyes steady on Aiken's, 'Pm Buck

to open up.

Fletcher turned toward a man in
the outer edge of the group. "Knell,

This individual elbowed his way IN
and was seen TO be scarcely more than
a boy, almost pale beside those bronx

face, thin and sharp.

wheeled to the stranger. what d you

This sally fetched another laugh.
The stranger appeared cool, careless,
Indifferent.
Knell stepped up, and 1t was easy
to see, from the way Fletcher relin-

man greater than he had appeared

life hung by the merest thread. Yet
he did not think Of that SO much as
of the brand of a woman-murderer
which might be soon sealed upon
him by frightened, imaginative child.
The crowd troOped apart and closed
again. Duane caught a blurred image
of a slight girl clinging to Sibert's
hand. He could not see distinctly.
Aiken lifted the child, whispered sooth-
ingly to her not to be afraid. Then
he fetched her closer to Duane.
Lucy, tell me. Did you ever see
this man before?" asked Aiken, huskily
and low. us he the one-who came
in the house that day-struck you
down-and dragged mama-?
Aiken's voice failed.
A lightning flash seemed to clear
Duane's blurred sight. He saw a
pale, sad face and violent eyes fixed
in gloom and horror upon his. No
horrible moment in Duane's life ever
equaled this one of silence-of sus-
pense.
1T amt him !" cried the child.
Then Sibert was f1inging the moose
off Duane's neck and unwinding the
bonds round his arms. The spellbound
crowd awoke to hoarse EXPLANATIONS.
"See there, my locoed gents, how
easy you'd hang the wrong man."
burst out the cowboy, as he made the
rOpe-end hiss. "You-aIl are a lot of
wise rangers. HawI hawI"
He freed Duane and thrust the bone
handled gun back in Duane's holster.
You Abe, there. Reckon you pulled
a stunt! But don't try the like again.
And, men, I'll gamble there's a hell Of
lot of bad work Buck Duane's named
for-which all he never done. Clear
away there. Where's his boss? Duane,
the roads open out of Shirley"
Sibert swept the gaping watchers
aside and pressed Duane toward the
horse, which another cowboy held
Mechanically Duane mounted, felt a
lift as he went up. Then the cowboys
hard face softened in a smile.
Il reckon it amt uncivil of me to
say-hit that road quick!'' he said,
frankly.
He led the horse out of the crowd.
Aiken Joined him, and between them
they escorted Duane across the plaza.
The crowd appeared irresistibly drawn
to follow.
Aiken paused with his big hand on
Duane's knee. In it, unconsciously
probably, he still held the gun.
Duane, a word with you" he said.
'I believe you're not so black as you've
been painted. 1 wish there was time
TO say more. Tell me this, anyway.
Do you know the Ranger Captain Mac
Ne1ly?"
81 do not" replied Duane, in sur

Fairfield" went on Aiken, hurriedly.
"He declared you never killed my wife.
/ didn't believe him-argued with him.
We almost had hard words over it.
Now-Tm sorry. The last thing he
said was: IF you ever see Duane
don't kill him. Send him INTO my
camp after dark He meant some
thing strange. What can't say.
But he was right, and l was wrong.
If Lucy had batted an eye I'd have
killed you. Still, 1 wouldn't advise you
to hunt up MacNelly's camp. He's
clever. Maybe he believes there's 40
treachery in his new ideas Of ranger
tactics. I tell you for all it's worth.
Good-by. May God help you further
as he did this day."
Duane said good-by and touched the
horse with his spurs.
$50 long, Buckl' called Sibert, with
that frank smile breaking warm over
his brown face; and he held his
sombrero high.

De through these reports right off"
MacNelly sat at table upon which
was lamp and various papers. Seen
IN the light he vas a fne-looking,
soldierly man Of about forty years,
dark-haired and dark-eyed, with a
bronzed face, shrewd, stern, strong, yet
not wanting in kindness. He scanned
hastily over some papers, fused with
them, and finally put them in enve-
Iopes. Settling back in his chair. he
faced Duane, making a vain attempt
TO hide what must have been the full
tiiment of a long-nourished curiosity.
Duane, I've been hoping for this
for two years. he began.
Duane smiled a little-a smile that
felt strange on his face. He had never
been much Of a talker. And speech
here seemed more than ordinarily diff
cult.
MacNelly must have felt that.
He looked long and earnestly at
Duane, and his quick, nervous manner
changed TO grave thoughtfulness:
"EVer hear from home since you
left Wellston?" he asked, abruptly.
NO" replied Duane, sadly.

"That was natural, suppose" went
on MacNelly. you didn't know me,

been a long time getting to you. But
