Dark . gilent, grim as he had been still there was a transformation singul- arly more sinister, stranger, "Enough, I'm. dome," he sald gombrely, "I've planned, Do we agree--or shall I meet Poggin and his gang alone?" . 2 MacNelly cursed and again threw .up his hands, this time in baffled chagrin, There was deep regret in his dark eyes as they rested upon Ddane, "I accept, Duane," he rejoined quietly, "I'll go about the arrange. ments at once." Duane was left alone, Never had' his mind been so . quick, so clear, so wonderful in its understanding of what had hereto- fore, been intricate and elusive im- pulses of his strange nature, His determination was to meet Poggin, Meet him before any one else had a chance--Poggin first--and the others! He was as unalterable in that decision as if, 'on the instant of its acceptance, he had become + stone, . At a few minutes before half- past two a dark compact body'of horsemen appeared far down, turn- ing into the road, They came at a sharp trot--a group that would have attracted attention anywhere at any time, They came a little faster as they entered town-----then faster still-- now they were four blocks away-- now three--now two, Duane back- ed down the middle of the vestibule up the steps, and halted In the cen- ter of the wide doorway, There seemed to be a rushing In his ears through which plerced sharp ringing clfp-clop of fron hoofs, He could see only the corner of the street, But suddenly into that shot lean-limbed dusty bay horses, There was a clattering of nervous hoofs pulled to a halt, , Duane saw the tawny Poggin spéak to his companions, He dis. mounted quickly, They followed suit, They had the manner of ranchers about to conduct some business, No guns showed, Poggin started leisurely for the bank-door, quickening step a little, The others, close together, came be- ind him, Blossom Kane had a bag 1 hig left hand, Jim Fletcher was behind, and he had already red up the bridles, Poggin entered the vestibule first with Kane on one side, Boldt on the other, a little behind him, As he strode in he saw Duane. "Great Scott!" he eried, Something inside Duane burst, piercing sll of him with cold. Was it that fear? { "Buck Duane!" echoed Kane One instant Poggn looked up, and Duane looked down. Like 8 striking jaguar Poggin moved, Almost as quick, Duane threw his arm.

With fading sight he saw Kane go down, then Boldt, But supreme torture--bitterer than death--Pog- gin stood, mane like a lion's, back to the wall, bloody-faced, grand, with his guns spouting red! All faded--darkened, The thun- der deadened, Duane fell, seemed floating, : There {it drifted--Jennie Lee's sweet face, white, sad, with dark trate eyes--fading--fading--fad- Nf Light shone before Duane's eyes --thick, strange light that came and went, It seemed a long time with dull and booming sounds rush- ing by, filling all, It was a dream in which there was nothing, Drift- ing under a burden--darkness-- light--sound--movement, Obscure struggling thought--vague sense of time--long time, There was blackness and fire, creeping consuming fire. He was rolled and wrapped in it--and a dark cloud carried him away, en- veloped him, He saw then, dimly, a room that was strange, strange people mov- ing about, over him, with faint voices, far away, things in a dream, He saw again, clearly, and con- sciousness returned, still strange, still unreal, full of those vague and far away things, He was not dead, then, He lay stiff, like a stone, with a weight ponderous as a mountain upon him, And slow dull beating burning agony racked all his bound body, : A man bent over him, looked deep into his eyes, and seemed to whisper from a distance: "Duane-- Duane--Ah, he knew me!" darkness; when the light came again, clearer, this same dark-eyed earnest man bent over him, It was MacNelly--and * with recognition the past flooded back, Duane tried: to speak. His lips were weak and limp, Their move- ment was barely perceptible, 'Have--youn---sent--for her?" "No, oh no, It's mot that bad, You've a chance, Why man, you'll get well, You'll pack a sight of lead all your life, Duane, The whole Southwest konws your story, You need never.be ashamed again of the name Buck Duane, It'll live in Texas with that of Davy Crocket, Think of Jennie--home--mother!" Then there was a white house-- home--and his heart beat thick, How familiar it all was--how strange, too! And all seemed mag- nified, The someone in white cried low and knelt by his bed, His mother flung wide her arms with strange gesture, "That man--that's his father! Where is my boy? My son, oh, my son!" It was sheer pleasure to lie by the west window and watch Uncle Jim whittle his stick and listen to him talk, He was old now and broken, He told so many Interesting things about people Duane "of the DUANES had known, people who had grown up and married, failed, suc- ceeded, gone away, died. But it was hard to keep Uncle Jim off the subjects of guns, fights, outlaws. He could not seem to divine how mention of those things made Duane shrink, Unele Jim, old, childish now, and he had a pride in Duane. He want ed to hear it all--all of Duane's exile, And if there was one thing more than another that pleased him it was to speak of the bullets Duane carried in his body. "Nine bullets, wasn't t? Nine In that last scrap, By gum! A man's a man to carry them. And you had three before?" ' "Yes, uncle," replied Duane, "Nine and three--that makes twelve, An even dozen, You could pack more than that, my boy, and get away with them, There's Cole Younger--I've seen him, He's got twenty-three, But he's.a bigger mafi than you---more flesh, "Funny, wasn't it, about the doc- tors only cuttin' one bullet out of you--that one in your breast bone? It was a forty-one caliber, an un. usual cartridge, ld "There was ome bullet left In Poggin's gun, and it was the same kind as the one cut out, By gum! boy, that bullet would have killed you if it'd stayed there." "It would, indeed, uncle," sald Duane, and the old, haunting, som- ber mood returned, But Jennie wds with him most of the time, and when she was by there was a deep, quiet joy such as had never been his, She knelt by him at the window, her sweet face still white, but with warm life beneath the marble, her dark eyes still Intent, haunted by shadows, but ne longer tragle, "The pain, Duane--Iis it any worse today, dear?" she asked, "No, it's the same, It will al- ways be the same, Jennie, I'm full of lead, you know, But I don't mind that." "It's the old mood--the fear?" "Yes, It haunts me, I'll be able to Bo out soon, Then it'll come After that another long time of | back "No--mno, Duane," she sald, "Some drunken cowboy--some fool with a gup will hunt me out," he said miserably, "Buck Duane! To kill Buck Duane!" "Hush! Listen to me," she whisp- ered, with tender arms round him "I understand. But you will never have to draw again, Duane, You'll never kill another man, thank God! For you will have me with you al- ways. Soon yow'll be well, Then. Duane, we'll--we'll be married, "We'll take Uncle Jim and moth- er and go far from Texas, north somewhere--to Indiana, Michigan, anywhere that we want. I have money, Duane! Isn't it wonder- ful?

Wendt Tells the Elect ical Club of Broadcasts Montreal, Mar, 1.--The Byrd Ant- employed in communicating with the outside world from its base near the South Pole was the subject of a talk before the Electrical Club of Montreal, by George A. Wendt, of the Canadian Westinghouse Com- pany, at the Queen's Hotel Wednes- a y, "Broadcasting to Commander Byrd" was the subject Mr, Wendt chose to speak on, and he enligit- ened his listeners with intirate glimpses of the commmpnder, who is now exploring the south polar re- ions, 5 Mr, Wendt told his audience of Commander Byrd's abilities as an ex- plorer. Of the method of transmission, the speaker told his audience of the use of code by the expedition from thes base in the Bay of Whales, Ross Sea, and reviewed the daily routine of the life among the men there, The wave- length employed in transmitting the messages was 34 metres, and no use of voice transmission was made. The messages travel direct to New York and are then syndicated to the press of the world. 7 Mr, Wendt also explained in detail the Saturday night broadcasts from station KDKA by voice direct to the expedition, using three wavelengths and 50,000 watts of power. The Bay of Whales is seven hours ahead of Montreal in time, said the speaker. "When it is 11 EST. Sat- urday night here it is then 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Bay of Whales, There are certain. nights on which KDKA does not transmit until after 2 am. Sunday morning, which means that the messages are received at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. This is apparently a more favorable hour for tr on.
