powder burn showed on the laud
hog's white shirt beneath his open-
ed coat, just over the heart. Red
started slowly spreading on the
linen below it. Slowly his knees
buckled as his glazing eyes stared
uncomprehending, Then he slid to
the floor, dead, as the gun dropped
with a metallic clatter from his
hand.
El Caballero Rojo lowered his
OWII smoking gun and stared down
at the dead man.
"One" he said cryptically, his
eyes glittering as they swept around
the room.
Swiftly Michael Valdez scooped
up papers and money from the
desk, shoving those he could into
a pocket inside his velvet bolero,
and gripping the bag of coins tight-
ly in one hand. Then, knocking the
ligbt off the desk as he passed, lie
thrted down the long hall, gripping
the heavy hag of gold coins tightly.
*
He raced through the corridor and
out the open door which he had en-
tered. But as his hee.ls struck the
flagging of the courtyard, armed
men, alarmed by the shots inside the
"bank," were pouring from the one
lighted blockhouse from which the
music and laughter had come.
Glina came up as the shadowy
figure was sighted. Flame spouted,
making orange -red splashes in the
darkness. Lead w•hined and howled
about El Cahallero's red head as
those bashes o ffire streaked throgh
the black nigh t.No longer was it
lighted by the crescent moon. That
now was hidden behind flying clouds.
Shouts came from the street out-
side the comtyard, Men were racing
down the street, yelling, firing their
guns at random.
Death converged on a man with
red hair and a gaudy Spanish cos-
tume, Nrho raced away from Ray-
mond Garvin's citadel—and laughed.
With head down, clinging to Gar -
03)40 ill-gotten gains, he sped away
from his attackers at express speed.
Michael Valdez' own gun was ottt
now, was spitting lead in a slow,
sweeping arc, for he had determined
to make 0 stand of it, fight it out
There seemed little chance, at the
moment, that he could win through
and reach El Cielo, waiting down the
street in the shadows,
man yelled as one of thc red-
headed man's shots went home. An-

wavered a moment in the face of
such accurate shooting

But the halt in the guards' firing

was only nutmentary, as Garvin's
blockhouse walls, and knowing they
behind the planet:titan of doors and

numbers, they resumed the battle
instantly. Coldly and calmly they
aimed for the searlet-sashed, scarlet -
masked 111;111 who was weaving and
ducking before them, in an effort to
reach his mount
His eyes, now mercilessly cold and
hard, picked out a shoulder here, a
sombrero there, a bent knee in one
spot, an elbow in another, gain and
again his gun blazed, And each time
it (lid, it would be the shoulder he
had seen that would jerk—the som-

with the bent knee sprawled fiat on

"NO GOOD"

You have been acting around with

you have learned to drink and
smoke, even to gantble—and think it
doesn't make any difference whether
a man is marriedf You are under
the Iegal age in your slate, and you
MILO have indulged iit sons of these
vices surreptitiously.
In every community there are nice
people who usually predominate.
You can find them if you try. Drop
these loose youngsters who have
hired you into such goings-on. Never

is only by withdrawing yourself
from these low acquaintances, and
adopting a very different manner
and nezo habits, that you eon show
the better element in your commun-
ity that you are worthy of their
friendship.
The first way is to bury yourself
in your studies, mid excel in your
school work as fast as you can.
Don't linger after school come right
home, and stop there. Give your
spare time to studying, to helping
around tlw house. Join the Ylf.'CA,

go on their hikes when you can, take
pain. They crashed into each other,
fighting like stampeded cattle to
avoid being trampled by the flying
hoofs of the big blue Mall.
Then, as sudenly, the mount was
wheeled again, and El Cielo and his
silver -decked rider were pounding
down the street. But Michael Valdez
knew well enough that 1 was only a
reprieve. He knew that before he
cold dare hope to get clear of the
town other guards stationed at vari-
ous points outside would he upon
him,
Realizing that be must do some-
thing other than try to outride them,
Valdez kneed his mount into the first
cross alloy that was out of sight of
the 111011 in the street, and pulled up
to a halt. What now? For s quick
glance over his shoulder told him that
already the (Aimee guard were on
their way awl that mounted gunmen
were poming tom the street from the

suffer is their shame, too you know,
anil they must be horrified in dis-

and join some of the youth activities
there. You need all the moral 18p-

You weren't fair, you know. It
may be true that you don't drink nor
smoke, nor rifil armund but there
are other sins against marriage
which a wife resents as 11(11511. For
instance, you never fad her what

Your Handwriting
and You Alex BSy. Arnott
"I am. interested in journalism
and wish to know what charac-
teristics and particularly those
that would influence my success
as such," states one reader,
Your writing tells me of an
abundance of will power and the
determination to succeed, shown
by the heavy pressure and solid
lines in the script. There is the
material and spiritual wealth as
indicated by the long looped
letters above and below the
writing line. Since the lower
loops are much longer than the
upper loops, it is evident that
material wealth interests you more
than spiritual gifts. From this
you may find difficulty in de-
ciding where your life's wdrk will
finally settle but, whatever it is,
it should have spiritual tendenc-
ies, with material reward,
The script shows clearly that
you have a practical nature and
show good judgement in all that
you do, with no extremes in your
habits and no impulsiveness. The
high flying dots over the letter
"3- shows that you plan and
dreaiu of the future which cauSes
you to make many varied mental
plans. There are many indica-
tions in the script of your per-
sistence to investigate and to be
inquisitive, to know from first
hand knowledge. This is follow-
ed by characteristics of precision
shown by the consistent slope of
the writing and the even height
of the small letters. -
The characteristics given above
indicate the ability and the will
to succeed in yOUr chosen field of
endeavour.

AIL-oh 6:8.
Great proverbs are the crystal-
ization of experience. Sometimes
they are reflections upon life and
conduct, terse, concentrated bits
of wisdotn, or philosophy.
Sometimes they are the obser-
vations of discerning critics who
have set down human values in
rules or guidemarks in the form
of popular, memorable maxims.
Sometimes they seem to have
been spontaneous thoughts, quick-
ened by some incident or experi-
ence,
All three forms of proverbs are
illustrated in the passages cited in
Ole lesson. A few very strileitig
ones are elsewehere in the Book.
A deep philsophy of life is in 4:23,
"Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life."
Similar reflections is in the list of
things that the Lord hates—the
six things listed in 6:16-19; and in
the well-known 14:34, "Righteous-
ness exalteth a nation: but sin is
O reproach to any people."
Of the second sort, terse, prac-
tical observations, arc 16:18,
'Pride goeth before destruction
and a haughty spirit before a fall'
and 28:1, "The wicked flee WItell
110 man purneth: but the righteous
are bold as a lion,'
Good examples of the spontane-
ous, but no less deeply wise prov-
• erbs are 27:19, "As in water 'face
answereth to face, so the heart of
man' to man." A good example of
Ole same sort, outside the Book of
Proverbs, hut a proverb none the
less, is in Ecclesiastes 7:6. "As the
crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fool."
Every people and country has
had its proverbs, and almost every
generation has had some of its
own. But the richest of all those
that have come from the ancient
Iiebrewis. No doubt they were
compiled from many sources, and
they represent a great repository
of terasured wisdom, but it is no
coincidence that they come front
a race and at a time that gave to
Ole world .its greatest saints and
prophets, and that ultimately gave
to the world the Saviour of Men,
Whose parables express and fulfil
