preparations for the place to which
he ,could return as a sort of head-

section of the country-. Always it

for others tb find, and to which it

Valley—of its itis:ory---and told him
time -dimmed legends of the Indians
who once itad their homes there,
and of the Spanish dons who had
conte after theft.
And as they rude on across the
badlands desert, beneath the stars
and the deep indigo of tite sky, cut
by a golden moon, an emotion that
was completely strange to El Cal
baero Rojo gripped hint. He sud-
denly felt an unaccustomed lump in
his throat, and just as suddenly
the blood was racing through his
veins as he listened to Juanita's
clear, low, contented laughter, and
felt her slight, ccil:ntcy body in the
tattered pends :l cthes close to
hint.
As innocently as a child Juanita ,
was letting herself relax, for site
felt so sale stow—safe. with El Ca-
ballero Rojo to whom -she had so
naively sworn allegiance. So she
leaned hack against his shoulder,
with his amts around lit r, in order
to hold El Ciclo's reins.
With an uncomfortable feeling he
could not understand, \lichael Val-
dez set her upright, a, if to settle
himself more comfortably in his
saddle. Ile felt her quiver a little,
as though site feared that in some
way slit could not understand she
had tlisplcased him. Then she sat
before hint straight and stiff. It was
only a passage for a fleeting mo-
ment, but if tither of them could
have realized its significance, they
would have understood.
Suddenly Michael Valdez said:
"Juanita, it may be that I have
not made ntystlf et ar to you. To-
night there has be..n nothing for it
except to let you conte with me,
but what I told you before is true.
El Caballero Rojo rides alone. For
another to ride with him might
make it impossible for him to do
all those things that he is commit-
ted to do. You see that, don't
you?"
* * *
For a moment Juanita did not
speak, and when she did all the re-
cent joy seemed to ahve gone out
of her soft voice. There was a choke
itt it when she said:
"But Juanita only wants to heip
you, senor.'
ile laughed a little at that, short-
ly. "Help me?" he repeated. "By
riding like this when I go on such
matters as those which took me
to Luna Roja tonight. Why, you
haven't even got a horse." He
groaned a little, remembering that
catastrophe. "Madre de Diosl
What will we do about that, any-
how?"
"Oh," said Juanita, and brighten-
ed a little, "this will be easy. Back
where — where my — hone was,
there is a horse in the corral back
of the two cottonwoods. The horse
of any padre. Perhaps one day you
will ride—only a few hours, senor
—and bring hint to tete. no?"
* * *
:Michael Valdez breathed P. sigh of
relief. One puzzle was solved, at
any rate, Would he get the horse
for Juanita? He would—mid with
no belay whatsoever, even if it
meant making a return journey to
Paisano Valley before it was safe.
to do so, This Juanita problem
was one that would brook no delay.
"And when I have the horse,"
Juanita was saying, more brightly,
"then 1 can ride with you, Caballero
Rojo—I can help you," She must
have felt his tense silence, for she
said quickly, anxiously, `You do
not want tate? But is there no heip
I can give you at all?"
It was on the tip of Valdez' ton-
gue to assure her, !lenity, that there
was no slightest chance that she
could do anything more than be in
his way, when a better idea flashed
into his ntittd. It was one that he
believed would settle this bewilder-
ing matter once and for all.
"Yes, Juanita, there is something
that you ran do for etc," lie tolyl
her. Rut he made no further ex-
plantation Inuit they had ridden 011

thing; as a nuisance and will avoid
detail icor!: for anything that is
trifling and requires concentration
and attention to detail. however, he
has the ability to organize the work

an executive capacity. There is no
doubt that he is, by nature, very
easy going and is not likely to
take matters too seriously.
Now compare the second exam-

an entirely different person. Great
powers of concentration are shown

packed the writing is. ]'his power
of concentration makes him argn-
mcntice and he will go to great
lengths to debate and to grove a

that he has analytical and literary
ability. Ile is interested in preci-

of the writing indicates the writer
to be thrifty, not approving of

How Can 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can 1 get rid of crick-
ets?
A. Put cucumber peeling, cut
into thin stripes, on the floor at
night near their haunts.
Q. How can I save sugar when
sweetening acid fruits?
A. When sweetening acid fruits,
such as gooseberries, use one-half
teaspoon of soda to a quart of fruit,
and stir before sweetening. Less
sugar will be required.
Q. How can I clean gilt frames?
A. Gilt frames can be cleaned by
dipping a soft cloth in milk and
rubbing it gently over the soiled
spots. Repeat several times, if
necessary.
Q. )-low can I easily clean win-
dows and mirrors?
A Use a cloth dipped in two
tablespoons of household ammonia
to two quarts of water. This will
also give the glass a polish.

were near it. With an exclamation
of satisfaction he turned off the
sandy ground over which they had
been traveling, and for a short dis-
tance further they climbed, up the
side of a rugged hill that towered
against the moonlight.
Ll Cielo picked his dainty way
upward, and where there was a
sort o` bench formation, Valdez
again turned off. There he dis-
mounted and led his horse with
Juanita clinging to 141 Ciclo's mane,
into a cave from which he shoved
back a tangled growth of mesquite.

Juanita's eyes lighted with inter-
est as he struck a match and set
it to a candle placed on a jutting
shelflike rock. She saw foot) that
he had carried in an extra saddle-
bag, canned stuff, bacon, and
jerky, as web as flour, coffee, and
a few sundries, and crude camping
equipment which he had stacked
in one of the corners, Valdez had
even taken the time to make for
himself a cot of pine boughs which
stood against the cave wall.
"Nice," Juanita said. "Very nice.

Michael Valdez: "But Senor Ca-

Sunday School Lesson
Christ the Minister
Hebrews 4;14-16; 7;26-27 ;
9:24-28; 10:11-14.
GOLDEN 7E%1': — He is able al-
so to sate them to the uttermost
that ratite unto God by him—Heb-
rews 7:25.
'I'lte topic of this lesson for
young people and adults is "The
Sufficient Christ"; and that phrase
accurately characterizes both the
letter and spirit of the Epistle
to the Hebrews.
The writer of the Epistle has a
deep sense of the spiritual heritage
of Israel, "God," he writes, rat
sundry times and in divers man-
ners spoke in times past into the
fathers by the prophets"; and in
the lith chapter he records the story
of the nteu and women of faith in
a tray that only a lover of Israel
and of Israel's religion could have
done.
* * 08
But his faith and outlook as an
earnest Israelite is dominated by
the supreme conviction that God,
who spoke formerly through the
prophets, has spoken "in these last
days" through His Son, Jesus
Christ, "tile brightness of His
glory", and "express image of His
persotl."
\With all the greatness of the
past religion of Israel, it is the
writer's contention that there was
a promise unfulfilled. Saints and
prophets "obtained a good report
through faith, but received' not the
promise: God having provided
some better tiling for us, that they
without us should not be made
perfect" (Hebrews 11:30-40).
* * s:
But what of priestliness and
sacrifice in the Jewish religion?
The writer's answer is that jesue
is a superior high priest, inasmuch
as He has offered Himself a sac-
rifice, once for all. An insistent
question, I think, concerns how
much of religious faith and prat-
tice of today is in the realm of uu-
fulfilied promise, awaiting the su-
preme experience of Christ as "the
Minister of better things,"
