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.

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- other cursed as a second bullet tum- bled him into the dust. The attack wavered a moment in the face of such accurate shooting * But the halt in the guards' firing gunmen ducked for cover, Secure was only nutmentary, as Garvin's blockhouse walls, and knowing they behind the planet:titan of doors and mist win IT sheer superiority of 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- brero leap high into the air.

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.

C011pie of 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.

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 the wisdont of the Scriptures that lie lcifew so well, Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 9, When making a call on a friend, should apologies be made for Ole lapse of time since otte 1)115 last it; the house?
