Duane read truth, strong, fiery pur-
pose, hope, even gladness, and fugi-
tive, mounting assurance of victory.
Twice Duane endeavored to speak,
failed of all save hoarse, incoherent
sound until, forcing back food of
speech, he found a voice:
"Any service? Every service! Mac
Nelly, I give my word" said Duane.
Right here ends the career of Buck
Duane, outlaw and gun-hghter," said
MacNelly, and seating himself, he took
the pen from Duane's fingers and
wrote several lines in several places
upon the paper Then, witt, smile.
he handed it to Duane.
THAT makes you member OF Com
pany A, Texas Rangers"
SO that's it'll" burst out Duane,
light breaking in upon his bewilder-
nlent. "You want me for ranger SER
vice."
Sure. That's it." replied the cap
tain dryly. "Now to hear what that
service is to be. I've been busy man
since took this job and as you may
have heard, I've done few things. I
don't mind telling you that political in
fiuence put me in here, and that, up
Austin way, there's q good deal Of
friction in the Department Of State
in regard to whether or not the ranger
service is any good, whether it should
be discontinued or not.

waiting to get the lieutenant | needed.
You, of course, are the man had in
mind.
"It's my idea to start way up the
Rio Grande and begin with Chesel-
dine. He's the strongest, the worst
outlaw of the times. He's more than
a rustler. It's Cheseldine and his
gang who are operating on the banks.
They're doing bank robbing That's
my private opinion; but it's not
backed UP by any evidence.
"Cheseldine doesn't leave evidences.
He's intelligent, cunning. I assume, of
course, that you are a stranger to him
and to the country he dominates. It's
FIVE hundred miles west of your
ground, big as that is.
"Wel1, / want you to drift over
into Cheseldine's country. Whatever
way you decide is best you will proceed
to act upon. You are your own boss.
You know such men and how they can
be approached You will take all the
time needed, if it's months
ut will be necessary for you to COM
nunicate with me, and that will be a
difficult matter. For Cheseldine domirl-
ates several whole counties You must
find some way to let me know when I
and my rangers are needed. The plan
is to break up Cheseldine's gang. It's
the toughest job on the border.
"Arresting him alone isn't to be
heard of. He couldn't be brought out.
Killing him isn't much better, for his
select men, the ones he operates with,
are as dangerous to the community as
he is.
"We want to kill or jail this choice
selection of robbers and break up the
rest of the gang. To find them, to get
among them somehow, to learn their
movements, to lay your trap for us
rangers to spring Duane, is your
service to me; and God knows, it's a

You will simply be Buck Duane, the
Lone Wolf, till it suits cur purpose to

You'll see there's no date on that

Fl Paso, Tex. April P'-With his deposition for use at the coming trial of Harry F. Sinclair completed. Albert B.

Members of his family said they did not eX- pect to start the trip before tomor- row at the earliest,
 Goes To Sleep
 shortly after the conclusion of the deposition proceedings in his home yesterday, Fall. exhausted. went to sleep. The former secretary of the interior was still elated over the op- portunity he had been given to tell his-story of the leasing of Teapot Dome to his co-defendant. Sinclair.
 Mrs. Fall said her husband plain ly showed the strain he had been under Heart stimulants are beloved to have been the only thing that en- abled the former cabinet official 10 hold up during the ordeal.
 In cross examination yesterday, Atlee Ponerene of government coun- sel, centered his questioning on Falls famous Mclean letter to the senate oil committee. Fall said in this letter, written early in the oil scandal, that he borrowed sl00,0oO from New Mclean, Washington pub fisher and that he had not received money from either Edward L. Do- heny on Sinclair for oil leases. It later was shown that Mclean s checks for the s1o0.ooo were re- turned without being cashed
 Requests by the prosecutor Tor detailed explanations of that part Of Falls story caused his voice to rise in sharp emphatic answers, mem bers of his family said.
 Throughout the testimony bearing directly on the government charge that he accepted s255,oo0 in Liberty bonds from Sinclair for the oil lease. Fall remained emphatic in his denlal that there was anything unlawful or unusual in the negotiations. He de- clared that J. w. Zevely. now dead. arranged the details of the transac- ton and that Sinclair and himself did not enter in the deal until the day the lease was signed, April z. 1922. Even then, Fall said, Sinclair accepted the lease only after con- siderable argument, when he fFal) insisted on larger royalties for the government.
 The $233.0oo was paid by the wealthy oil man, Fall insisted. for one-third interest in his Tres Rltos ranch in New Mexico. The former secretary of the interior also con tended that the ranch deal was moi started until after the oil lease was signed.

 Many Delegates, ::

Washington, April 2 R>-An April shower of ballots that will give q better indication of which way the wind is blowing for those who as- pire to the highest office of the land began today in Michigan and will continue tomorrow in Wisconsin and New York.
 There are but three of eight state presidential preference primaries. and more than a score of party con- yentions listed on the months politi- cal calendar which, when torn down, will add considerably to the 215 re- publican and 164 democratic dele gates thus far chosen to the Kansas l City and Houston conventions.
 These figures represent less than one fifth of the 1,0S9 delegates votes in the republican convention and less than one-siXth of the HOO ln the democratic gathering.
 During April. however, delegates to Kansas City will be increased by 555, or more than half of the total convention vote, while those bearing credentials to the Texas city will be raised 472 or q little less than half the total democratic delegates. | Only S19 republican delegates and ASA democrats will remain to be se- lected in May and early June when the April primary and convention slate is disposed with. f Herbert Hoover and Governor Smith of New York state had no op- position facing them in the Micht- gan primary today. Thus far the ! former was assured of that states 3s Kansas City delegates and Smith of it's 30 democratic delegates. all of whom are to be chosen later at party conventions.
 Wisconsin and N. '.
 Tomorrow, 52 delegates. equally divided among democrats and repub- 1 licans, will be selected in the primaries in Wisconsin. and s3 re- publican district delegates and s6 democrats, exclusive of delegates-at- large who will be named later m the month, will be chosen in the New York primaries. The delegation at large already has been designated.
 That will be al the primaries TOT this week, but next Tuesday the de- luge of presidential preference bal lots will be loosened again fin the Illinois and Nebraska primaries. | Then, after a respite of q couple or weeks, the downpour will strike i n Willis has complicated the political situation in both major party ranks, and Pennsylvania and Massachu- sets.

 Fall was in the library of his home when the cross-eAamination was finished. Sitting in his easy chair he held his pipe in his hand and gestured with it to emphasize his words. He looked feeble. much more so than when he was on trial in Washington last October with Sin clair on charges of conspiracy. How ever, he said he felt well and would leave soon for California.
 Taking of the deposition required slightly more than IS hours. divided over four days. All the attorneys left for the east soon after the testimony was completed. It was expected seN- eral days would be required to tran scribe the testimony due largely to Falls loquaciousness.
