Cheseldine's got border towns on his staff, or scared of him, and these places we want to know about, especially Fairdale. Write me care of the adjutant at Austin. I don't have to warn you to be careful where you mail letters. Ride a hundred, two hundred miles, if necessary, or go clear to El Paso." MacNelly stopped with an air of finality, and then Duane slowly rose.
When they were all inside Duane closed the door, and, drawing a deep breath as if of relief, he faced them calmly. "Miss Longstreth, you and Miss Ruth try to make yourselves comfortable now," he said. "And don't be distressed." Then he turned to his captain. "MacNelly, this girl is the daughter of the man I've brought to you, and this one is his niece."
It it was Lawson it was Lawson's gun that shot Duane. Duane let me off. In fact, Ray, he saved me. I'm to divide my property return so far as possible what I've stolen leave Texas at once with Duane, under arrest. He says maybe he can get MacNelly, the ranger captain, to let me go. For your sake!"
I'd say there was no chance at all for any other man beside you. Your reputation will go far among the outlaws. Maybe that and your nerve and your gun-play will pull you through. I'm hoping so. But it's a long, long chance against your ever coming back." "That's not the point," said Duane. "But in case I get killed out there what " "Leave that to me," interrupted Captain MacNelly.
"Any of your men down here?" queried Duane, sharply. "No. They're up-town." "Come. MacNelly, you walk with him. We've ladies in the party. I'll come behind with them." They set off up-town. Longstreth walked as if he were with friends on the way to dinner. The girls were mute. MacNelly walked like a man in a trance. There was not a word spoken in four blocks.
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.
And he'll be true. But, Duane, I was told to hurry, and here I'm selfishly using time." "Go, then and leave me. You mustn't unnerve me now, when there's a desperate game to finish." "Need it be desperate?" she whispered, coming close to him. "Yes; it can't be else." MacNelly had sent her to weaken him; of that Duane was sure. And he felt that she had wanted to come.
"No, I don't understand that," replied MacNelly, bluntly. "It can't be done. The drop can't be got on such men. If you meet them they shoot, and mighty quick and straight. Poggin! That outlaw has no equal with a gun unless He's got to be killed quick. They'll all have to be killed. They're all bad, desperate, know no fear, are lightning in action." "Very well, Duane; then it's a fight.
This officer, obviously Captain MacNelly, soon joined the two rangers who were confronting Duane. He had no fear. He strode straight up to Duane. "I'm MacNelly," he said. "If you're my man, don't mention your name yet." All this seemed so strange to Duane, in keeping with much that had happened lately. "I met Jeff Aiken to-day," said Duane. "He sent me "
He advanced naturally, expecting any moment to be halted. "Who goes there?" came the sharp call out of the gloom. Duane pulled his horse. The gloom was impenetrable. "One man alone," replied Duane. "A stranger?" "Yes." "What do you want?" "I'm trying to find the ranger camp." "You've struck it. What's your errand?" "I want to see Captain MacNelly." "Get down and advance. Slow.
