He was the last of the Duanes, that old fighting\u003cbr\u003estock of Texas. But not the memory of his dead father, nor the pleading\u003cbr\u003eof his soft-voiced mother, nor the warning of this uncle who stood\u003cbr\u003ebefore him now, had brought to Buck Duane so much realization of\u003cbr\u003ethe dark passionate strain in his blood. It was the recurrence, a\u003cbr\u003ehundred-fold increased in power, of a strange emotion that for the last\u003cbr\u003ethree years had arisen in him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, Cal Bain's in town, full of bad whisky an' huntin' for you,\"\u003cbr\u003erepeated the elder man, gravely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's the second time,\" muttered Duane, as if to himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Son, you can't avoid a meetin'. Leave town till Cal sobers up. He ain't\u003cbr\u003egot it in for you when he's not drinkin'.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"But what's he want me for?\" demanded Duane. \"To insult me again? I\u003cbr\u003ewon't stand that twice.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"He's got a fever that's rampant in Texas these days, my boy. He wants\u003cbr\u003egun-play. If he meets you he'll try to kill you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere it stirred in Duane again, that bursting gush of blood, like a\u003cbr\u003ewind of flame shaking all his inner being, and subsiding to leave him\u003cbr\u003estrangely chilled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kill me! What for?\" he asked.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147513807088,"sku":"2940013335882","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013335882_p0.jpg?v=1763579488","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013335882","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
