This proceeding served a double purpose he was safer, and the habit would look well in the eyes of outlaws, who would be more inclined to see in him the lone-wolf fugitive. Long since Duane had fought out a battle with himself, won a hard-earned victory. His outer life, the action, was much the same as it had been; but the inner life had tremendously changed.
They were jolly, wild fellows, with just enough gravity in their welcome to show Duane their respect and appreciation, while not forgetting his lone-wolf record. When he had seated himself in that circle, now one of them, a feeling subtle and uplifting pervaded him. After the meal Captain MacNelly drew Duane aside. "Here's the money. Make it go as far as you can.
It's a little two-bit town up the river a ways. I'm goin' to pack out some grub." Stevens's tone was inviting. Evidently he would welcome Duane's companionship, but he did not openly say so. Duane kept silence, however, and then Stevens went on. "Stranger, in this here country two's a crowd. It's safer. I never was much on this lone-wolf dodgin', though I've done it of necessity.
"Good night...! I'll send some of my crowd along." "Nope, Joe. They'd spot two or more guys. One, they won't even believe in. This is a lone-wolf deal. Besides, it's personal... Shucks I don't even think there's a risk..." There, he knew he exaggerated especially as, huddled up to resemble a small asteroid-fragment, he followed the retreating specks.
Oh, Duane, don't don't go!" "I can't go back to the outlaws, at least not Bland's band. No, I'll go alone. I'll lone-wolf it, as they say on the border. What else can I do, Jennie?" "Oh, I don't know. Couldn't you hide? Couldn't you slip out of Texas go far away?" "I could never get out of Texas without being arrested. I could hide, but a man must live. Never mind about me, Jennie."
