Feeling around for a place big enough to stretch out on, he lay down,. For the time 'being he was as safe there as he would have been beyond in the Rim Rock. He was tired, though not exhausted, and in spite of the throbbing pain in his arm he dropped at once into sleep,. CHAPTER XI. How long Duane was traveling out of that region he never knew. But he reached familiar country and found a £ rancher who had before befriended him. Here his arm was attended to; he had food and sleep ; and in a couple of weeks he was himself again. When the time came for Duane to ride away on his endless trail his friend reluctantly imparted the in- formation that some thirty miles sgpith, near the village of Shirley, there was posted at a certain cross-road a re- ward for Buck Duane dead or alive. Duane had heard of such notices, but he had never seen one. His friend's reluctance and refusal to state for what particular deed this reward was offered roused Duane's | curiosity. Abruptly he decided to ride over there and find out who wanted him dead or alive, and why. Toward afternoon, from the top of a long hill, Duane saw the green fields , and trees and shining reofs of a town +| he considered must be Shirley, And at the bottom of the hill he came upon an intersecting road. There was a placard nailed on the cross-road sign- post. Duane drew rein near it and leaned close to read the faded print. \$1 REWARD FOR BUCK DUANE DEAD OR ALIVE.\ Peering closer to read the finer, more faded print, Dusne learned that he was want- ed for the murder of Mrs. Jeff Alken at her ranch near Shirley. The month September was named, but the date was illegible. The reward was offered by the woman's husband, whose name appeared with that of a sheriff's at the bottom of the placard. Duane read the thing twice. When he straightened he was sick with the horror of his fate, wild with passion at those misguided fools who could belteve that he had harmed a woman. A dark, passionate fury possessed , It shook him like a storm shakes Spurring his Shirley appeared to be a large, pre- | tentious country town, A branch of some railroad terminated there. The main street was wide, bordered by i trees and commodious houses, and i many of the stores were of brick, A | large plaza shaded by giant cotton- , wood occcupled a central location. Duane pulled his running horse and , halted him; plunging and snorting, be- ' fore a group of idle men who lounge@ | on benches in the shade of a spread-. ing cottonwood. How many times had , Duane seen just that kind of lazy ! shirt-sleeved Texas group! Not often, however, had he seen such placid, lolling, good-natured men change their expression, their attitude so swiftly. His advent apparently was momentous. They evidently took him for an up- usual visitor. So far as Duane could tell, not one of them recognized him, had a hint of his identity. He slid off his horse and threw the bridle. \I'm Buck Duane,\ he sald, \I saw that placard-out there on a signpost. It's a damn lis! Somebody find this man Jeff Allen, I want to see him.\ His announcement was taken in ab- solute silence. That was the only effect he noted, for he avoided looking at these villagers,. 'The reason was simple enough; Duane felt himself overcome with emotion. There were tears in his eyes, He sat down on a bench, put his elbows on his knees and his hands to his face. For once he had absolutely no concern for his 1 fate. This ignominy was the last straw. Presently, - however, he became aware of some kind of commotion among these villagers. He heard whispering, low, hoarse voices, then the shuffle of rapid feet moving away. All at once a violent hand jerked his gun from its holster. When Duane rose a gaunt man, livid of face, shak- ing like a leaf, confronted him with his own gun. \Hands up, thar, you Buck Duane!\ he roared, waving the gun. That appeared to be the cue for pandemonium to break loose. Several men lay hold of his arms and, pinioned them behind his back. Resistance was i useless even if Duane had had the spirit - One of them fetched his halter from his saddle, and with this they bound him helpless. People were running now from the street, the stores, the houses, Old men, cowboys, clerks, boys, ranchers came on the trot, The crowd grew,. The incraasing clamor began to at- tract women as well as men, A group of girls ran up, then bung back in fright and pity. The presence of cowboys made & difference. They split up the crowd, got to Duane, and lay hold of him with rough, businesslike hands. One of them lifted his Osts and roared at the frenzied mob to fall back, to stop the racket. He beat them back into a | circle; hut It was some little time be-, the list is lengthening. In Use For Over 30 Years memmmar ma n pa men comme THE GLEBNS FALLS TIMES Christian Temperdnce Union.) CONDITIONS IN KANSAS. \Have you noticed the peka Capital, have. It is awful, lays bare all the details. hibition. - Infanticide is a popular sport, fall and summer. No baby's life is safe in Kansas, the publicity expert has learned. Relatives thirst for the lives of the little ones. Dirt, destitution and disease prevail. Flash ily dressed lassies prowl the streets in droves in search of their prey, and no man is safe.\ The Capital goes on to quote some of the scare headlines of the Liquor Men's publicity serial and concludes: \Kansas might as well face the proposition squarely. Any attempts at improvement made in the state, no matter along what lines, will be seized ipon by the liquor interests to show that the conditions existing in the state are 'appalling,' and the 'appall- ing' is due entirely to prohibition. It is understood the next serial issued will explain how it was that the prairie fires in western Kansas were due to the stite prohibitory amend- ment. You may not see the connec tion, but the bright young man em ployed as publicity agent for the Na tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers' as sociation won't miss it, Not he. He is going to show up in all its abysmal horror the awful fate that has over- taken Kansas because It tried to shut out that safeguard of the home and gavior of the mation, intoxicating liyuor.\ AS GERMAN-AM ERICANS SEE IT. \On the train this morning I rods down with a German acquaintance,\ said a Nebraska man from the South Platte country. *In the course of our talk I asked him the usual question: 'How about prohibition? 'It'll go dry by a majority of 5000 to 10,000, was his answer. 'What makes you think so? I asked, 'T'll tell you,' he said. 'I was born in the old country. Over there and over here I have always taken a drink whenever I felt like it. I nevor drank to excess, and I never could see any harm in the moderate use of liquor such as I and my friends were accustomed to. But the trouble is that our sons have gotten away froff the old customs. To speak plain- ly. they drink to excess. We Germans despise drunkenness just as much as you Americans Gespisq it. When we see our sons degrading themselves in this way we decide to call a halt. American saloon. I am going to vote dry next fall, and my neighbors are going to vote dry ,with me,' ° ON CONFISCATION. Ona of the arguments against pro- hibition is that it confiscates property. ' It has been well pointed out that this! argument overlooks the fact that pro- hibition does not tike from the brew: | ers, distillers and saloon keepers ac foot of ground that they own or a single brick out of any of their build.} ings. They have their property just? as they had it before, but they cannot use it for the sams purpose. However, there are other purposes for which it can be used. When the saloon is' driven out the building can be used for the sale of things that are helpful.! and the buildings now used for distil ; lerles and breweries can be utilized; for other business enterprises, as they have been in states that have adopted prohibition, with distinct profit to the property owners. i onmmmmmememen 3 WANTED, CONVICTS!
