Valdez nodded, his lips tight.
"I've got to see this Garvin of
whom you tell me," he said to the
girl, "Where is his outfit? Has lie
got a ranch hereabouts, or is he
more likely to be found in the
nearest town? What's the name
of that town, by the way?"
"He lives in the town of Luna
Roja," site said. "But it is a dan-
gerous place to go, senor—and
more dangerous when it is the
Senor Garvin you seek,
"He has set himself up as a
banker in Luna Roja, where he
has a white -plastered adobe home
that is much like a fortress, and
it is there he has his bank, He
lives there most of the time, and
he is well protected, because he

"Maybe I clan manage to get by

go, I will be your follower, your
servaut, to look out for your -
wants." Courage and firm resolve
were in her soft voice.
"But you can't do that, Juanita!"
Valdez exploded, startled.
Her stnall head went up again
in that proud, defiant gesture,
"You are going to see Senor
Garvin," she said firstly. "That is
what you say. You mean to bring
hint to pay for what he has done

Your Handwriting
,y By
arni You Alex S, Arnott
Generosity is shown by the gen-
eral spacing of the writing. Ex-
amine a page of your writing. How
much margin have you on the
left hand side of the page? Is the
writing crowded to the edge of
the paper ar have you left a gen-
erous margin? Look at the top of
the page. Have you crowded the
letters to the top, leaving a wide
space at the bottom of the page?
When there is little margin on
the left hand side or at the top
of the page, the writer is endow-
ed with a good wholesome thrifty •
to practical nature, if confirmed
y other indications in the script.
If there is a very generous spac-
tg between the lines and also
etween the letters, you may be
ure the writer will place economy
s a secondary consideration to
otufort and well-being,
There are many types of gen-
rosity and each has its own sign,

vriters to be generous with them-

Il Paisano Valley, as Michael
Valdez had already discovered,
was in one o! New Mexico's rich-
est reuses, thought so remote that
it was as yet Ittle known.
At its greatest width it was
about twenty miles wide, and
there were few of the badland
terrains that often break up the
virgin wealth of cattle -raising and
farming lands. On the other side
of the first foothills, though, Val-
dez had already learned' from an
old Iltdien, there was a spot known
as Juniper Brakes which was as
far removed front what this valley
was as it was possible to conceive.

thy hand find to do, do it with thy
mitred.- 1 rlesiusies 9:1t3.
If the world ever needed a lesson
couceruing the basis and necessity of
work, it is getting it today. We have
a forceful demotlstraton of what
happens whcu 1011,11 turn from pro-
ducing the things that satisfy human
need to producing ways of destruc-
li nn.
The vigorous words, written tetany
hundreds of years ago t0 describe
what happens when men stop work-
ing, and became sluggards, describe
exactly what has happened in many,
countries.
To the non -worker the wise loan
of l'roverl,s predicted that "want as
an armed matt" would conte, and
that is precisely the situation in lands
stricken by war.
* *
Jivers in countries like ours, not so
seriously stricken by war, we have
had ample demonstration of what
happens when men stop working,
Without attempting to assess the
natter of right:; and causes, one can
point to what happens when trains
stop runnniug, when fishermen stop
fishing, when steel trills stop pro-
ducing when coal miners stop dig-
ging, and when building is tied up
with strikes and jurisdictional con-
flicts. Such strikes and lockouts no
longer affect only the things that
people can do without, but they in-
vade the very basis of living and
safety, imperilling the sick, and tam -
stringing the healthy.
* * *
The productive powers of man
are so great that if all who arc able
to work were doing their fair share,
and were doing it faithfully and
regularly, the resulting resources for
the satisfaction of human needs and
for the aggrandizement of life
5,011151 be so great that short hours
of labor, tt'itit nada time for leisure,
pleasure and home-building, would
be available for all.
So, the wise words concerning
work are still words of wisdom. And
the words of Jeans, above all, are to
be remembered, "My Father work-
clll hitherto; and I work."
