Then he looked.
He saw a bright fire, a red-faced
man bending over it, whistling, while
he handled a steaming pot. Over him
was a rooted shed built against the
wall. with two open sides and two
supporting posts. Duane's second
glance, mo- so blinded by the sudden
bright light, made out other men,
three in the shadow. two in the flare,
but with backs to him.

CHAPTER XIII.

Again inaction and suspense drag
ged at Duane's spirit.
But n day there were signs of the
long quiet of Ord being broken. A
messenger strange to Duane rode in
on a secret mission that had to do
with Fletcher. Duane was present in
the tavern when the fellow arrived
saw the few words whispered, but did
not hear them. Fletcher turned white
with anger or fear, perhaps both. and
he cursed like a mailman. The mes
senger rode away off to the west.
This west mystiied and fascinated
Duane as much as the south beyond
Mount Ord. After the messenger left
Fletcher grew silent and surly. II
became clear now that the other out
laws Of the camp feared him. kept
out of his way. Duane let him alone,
yet closely watched him.
Perhaps an hour after the messen-
ger had left. not longer, Fletcher man
ifestly arrived at some decision, and
he called for his horse. Then he
went to his shack and returned. To
Duane the outlaw looked in shape both
to ride and to fight. He gave orders
for the men In camp to keep close

feeling than the apparent circum-
stance demanded.
"Yes; and Hardin. the best one of
the Rim Rock fellows-Buck Duane I"
Longstreth was so CHASTITY white
now that his black mustache seemed
outlined against chalk. He eyed his
grim lieutenant. They understood
each other without more words. 1t
was enough that Buck Duane was
there In the Big Bend. Longstreth
rose presently and reached for a flask,
from which he drank, then offered 1t
to Knell. He waved it aside.
"Knell," began the chief, slowly, as
he wiped his lips, 81 gathered you

well, don't be a = fool now and
do what Poggin or almost any of you

"The hell you say" exclaimed
Knell.
"Yes. Go to Ord and give Jim
Fletcher a bunch. He'll get Poggin,
and they'll fix even Buck Duane"
"All right. I'll do my best. But IL

Don't u into him" Longstreth's
voice fairly rams with the force of
its passion and command. He wiped
his face, drank again from the flask,
sat down, resumed his smoking, and,
drawing aspaper from his vest pocket,
he began to study 1t.

the thought of rustlers living in quiet
and ease.
Duane worked halfway down to
the level, and, well hidden in a niche,
he seated himself to watch both trail
and valley.
The sun went down behind the
wall. and shadows were born in the
darker places of the valley. Duane
began to want to get closer to that
cabin. Still he fingered. And sudden
ly his wide-roving eye caught sight of
two horsemen riding up the valley.
They must have entered at a point
below, round the huge abutment of
rock, beyond Duane's range of sight.
Their horses were tired and stopped
at the stream for a long drink.
Duane left his perch, took to the
steep trail, and descended as fast as
he could without making noise. 1t
did not take him long to reach the
valley floor. 1t was almost level.
with deep grass, and here and there
clumps Of bushes. Twilight was al
ready thick down there. Duane
marked the location of the trail, and
then began to slip like a shadow
through the grass and from bush to
bush. He saw a bright light before he
made out the dark outline of the
cabin. Then he heard voices, a merry
whistle, a coarse song, and the clink
Of iron cooking utensils. He smelled
fragrant wood smoke. He saw NOV
ing dark figures cross the light. Evil
IDENTIFY there was a wide door, oil else
the fire was out in the open.
Duane swerved to the left, out of
direct line with the light, and thus was
able to see better. Then he advanced
noiselessly but swiftly toward the back
of the house. There were trees close
to the wall. He would make no noise,
and he could scarcely be seen-if only
there was no watchdog! But all his
outlaw days he had taken risks with
only his useless life at stake; now,
with that changed, he advanced,
stealthy and bold as an Indian. He
reached the owe of the trees, knew
he was hidden in their shadows, for
at few PAGES distance he had been
able to see only their tops. From
there he slipped up to the house and
felt along the wall with his hands.
He came to a little window where
light shone through. He peeped in.
He saw a room shrouded in shadows.
a lamp turned low, a table, chairs.
He saw an open door, with bright flare
beyond, but could not see the fire.
Voices came indistinctly. He went on
round that end of the cabin. Fortune
favored him. There were bushes, an
old shed, a wood-pile, all the cover
he needed at that r He did not
even need to crawl.
Before he peered between the rough
corner of wall and the bush growing
close to it, Duane paused a moment.
This excitement was different from
