Paragraph- Sent 1: Duane was hungry, but he hurried through the ample supper that was set before him, urged on by curiosity and astonishment.
Sent 2: The only way he could account for his presence there in a ranger's camp was that MacNelly hoped to get useful information out of him.

Sent 5: While eating he had bent keen eyes around him.
Sent 6: After a first quiet scrutiny the rangers apparently paid no more attention to him.
Sent 7: They were all veterans in service--Duane saw that--and rugged, powerful men of iron constitution.
Sent 8: Despite the occasional joke and sally of the more youthful members, and a general conversation of camp-fire nature, Duane was not deceived about the fact that his advent had been an unusual and striking one, which had caused an undercurrent of conjecture and even consternation among them.
Sent 9: These rangers were too well trained to appear openly curious about their captain's guest.
Sent 10: If they had not deliberately attempted to be oblivious of his presence Duane would have concluded they thought him an ordinary visitor, somehow of use to MacNelly.
Sent 11: As it was, Duane felt a suspense that must have been due to a hint of his identity.

MacNelly.
