CHAPTER X
He studied her eager face a mo-
ment in the light of the candle
flame,
"Do you know where the Mis-
sion of Corpus Christi is?" he ask -
.ed her abruptly.
"Si, senor," she said eagerly. "It
is at the foot of the range near the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains."
"You think you could find it
without any trouble—alone?"
"Si, senor." Juanita repeated,
puzzled now. "But what --
Valdez nodded. "Tomorrow,
when I go get your horse from
your home, 1 want you to ride
there with a package and a mes-
sage from me. it is most import-
ant. But we will rest first."
He gestured her to the pine -
bough cot. picked up a blanket
from the stump, took El Cielo's
reins in the other hand and stalked
outside the cave. He heard her
call out a remonstrance,, but paid
no attention. He had too many
times slept with his saddle for a
pillow to mind sleeping iu the
open.
*
Juanita lay wide awake, think-
ing. She tried to see through the
darkness to where he lay sleeping,
but when she could not her
thoughts turned in another direc-
tion. Eery event of the last hours
passed through her mind in swift
review. There were so many
things about El Caballero Rojo
that she still could not understand.
And naw this! Why should he
be interested in the Mission of
Corpus Christi—in any mission?
He, whom some men called out-
law? Could it be possible—but
surely no. no!—that he wanted to
find out about it because he was
planning to raid it for its plate

and ornaments? Did he by any
chance covet the treasure said to
exist since the days of the Spanish
conquistadores? What was the
message she Was to carry? How
would it help hint?
* * *
Guessing gave her no answers,
however, though that last question
in her mind was comforting. She
could help hint—and she scolded
herself bitterly for those other va-
grant thoughts. She was being dis-
loyal to this man, her one and only
amigo. He could do no wrong;
he would not. Whatever it was he
wanted her to do it would be only
to help other people.
It was with that final thought
that Juanita at last slept.
When she awoke El Caballero
Rojo was making a meal over a
little fire he had built in the center
of the cave. But he did not
look like the Red Cavalier now, for
he had discarded his gaudy rai-
ment and wore the charro garb
and the black wig in which she
had seen 'Win first.
e
He straightened up from the
fire and glanced over toward the
pine -bough cot„ and grinned when
he saw her dark eyes wide open,
looking at him with surprise.
"You see I'm all ready to ride
back to the valley and get that
horse of yours, just as soon as we
have a bite of breakfast. You
think anybody's likely to recog-
nize me like this?"
"No, senor," Juanita said softly.
"But—"
Then swiftly she arose.
"Let me do that, senor! she
exclaimed. "It is women's work.
Since I have drive you from your
bed it is well that I do some little
thing for you."
She took the coffee pot from his
hands and set to work busily.
Watching her, Valdez thought he
had never seen anyone so deft and
so graceful, even in the tattered
sheepherder's clothing she still
wore. As the firelight gleamed
in the ebon of her hair that hung
free, and crimsoned the cleanly
flesh of her arms and throat, he
found himself unconsciously won-
dering what she would look like
in the lovely garments of a girl,
garments such as she was born to
w'ea>'.
As quickly he shoved that
thought from him. What was he
thinking of? El Caballero Rojo
had no business with such
thoughts.
Juanita had the breakfast all
prepared speedily, and they sat
clown cross-legged on the cave
floor to eat it. While they ate she
talked gravely about her father and
mother and of the life on their
little rancho.
Valdez slid not give her confi-
dence for confidence by telling
her of his own home and youthful
days, but listening to her brought
it all before his mind's eye poign-
antly. !lis lovely Irish mother,
with her hair of spun red gold.
Ills father,. who might have been
one of the conquistadores brought
down to this modern day. The
hacienda where the doors had
always stood open, where the hand
of hospitality was always held out.
No ratan was ever turned away
from those doors where heartiness
and true welcome were the rule.
* * *
Cattlemen, prospectors, lawmen,
mattes, even outlaws—they carte
in droves. And meals and a bed
were free for the asking at any
hour of the day or night, And it
had been from sante of the -men
who had come through those hos-
pitable portals that young Michael
Valdez had learned how to shoot,
bow to use his rope, the craft of
the tvoodsman, and a thousand
different things that had stood hint
in gond stead when he had himself
become a wanderer. Men whose
guns were ll>eir only shield against
a troublotts worl4 had taught him
nncauny'speed with weapons while
he was still in his teen, and though
he had always had a natural way
with horses, he had learned how
to handle the most dangerous out-
law from other men to whom
horseflesh was life, - -
But now that seemed ages ago —
in another life. For on that day
wizen the young Michael Valdez
had opened the door of his hone
on his tragedy, he had on the in-
stant left behind his devil-may-
care life as a young vaquero and
become a )tan—a ratan who had
a rendezvous with destiny,
So deep was Michael Valdez in
his own musings that for a mo-
ment he had forgotten Juanita,
had forgotten that he was not
alone, as was his custom, He came
to himself with a start when he
heard her insistent voice, as if she
might have asked a question sew
et•al times and had no answer.
"When I have done for you this
thing you wish me to do, senor,"
she was saying a little plaintively,
"then you will tell me what more
I can do for you? We will ride
together, no?"
Glimpsing her eager face, he
hadn't the heart to tell her the
truth—then,
"There will be much riding for
both of Us, of course, Juanita," he
said gently, and then he gave a
start and jumped to his feet.
"Madre de Dios!" he exclaimed.
"The sun is long up, and I must
ride for your horse. I told you it
was important that you start for
the mission today."

Keep Down Costs:
Watch These Items
One way homemakers can keep
down the cost of the weekly market
basket ,is to watch for foods that are
plentiful and wherever convenient
buy the less expensive items, Canned
goods, for instance, cone in different
grades, The fancy, or Grade A, are
the best, of course, but they seldom
offer the genuine bargains that the
lower grades do.
Here are a few things to watch
for this fall that will be lower in
price than in recent years because of
abundant crops: Dried prunes,
peaches, apricots, and apples. Raisins
are so plentiful their price is ex-
pected to drop 50 per cent.
Things were going well in the
cranberry bogs, too. Although some-
what smaller 1115n 1a51 year's mam-
moth crop, this year's harvest is 20
per cent larger than average. Lead-
ing packers have already, named low-
er wholesale prices for cranberery
sauce.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. How can a person distinguish
between genuine hospitality and
that which is affected?
A. A person with the least in-
tuition can quickly distinguish this,
As Washington Irving ,said, "There
is an emanation from the heart in
genuine hospitality which cannot
be described, but is immediately
felt, and puts the stranger at once
at his ease."
Q. When should the phrase "ex-
cuse me" be used?
A. This phrase is properly used
when asking to be excused from
the room, or the table or from giv-
ing our attention to a person for a
moment,
0. Is one expected to lip a wait-
ress in a cafeteria who carries his
tray to the table?
A, This is optional. Usually it is
not expected.
Q. Is it necessary that a bride
wear a That or veil if the wedding
ceren>ony takes place in the church?
A. Yes, either may be worn, but
at the home wedding, no matter
what time of day, both hat and
veil may be omitted.
Q. 'When you have moved into a
new neighborhood, isn't it all right
to call on all the neighbors that
you wish to associate with?
A. No. The neighbors should call
first; then you should return those
calls,
Q. Should nue u::o 1011 re or fort
10 glare butter on a potato?
A. The fork should be used.
* you'll benefit by what I've just
* written.

if I had launched out an one of
my frequent prescriptions out how to
lose n girl friend, I couldn't have
done better than you did.
You had to be the big shot, didn't
you? Taking all, giving nothing—
reminding the girl, by sins of 011lfs-
sion, 110W lucky site teas that you
(01211 h' ,vee her at all, and bestow-
ed upper her the great gift of your
love! Yon depended on your charm
(alto 1 ea poet you have plenty) to
carry you through. You never real-
ised that to (told a nice girl you had
to deserve 1>e,'.
Girls don't realize that their sweet-
hearts ore usually the product of
the training former girls have given
them. It isn't hard for a smart girl
to judge pretty accurately what kind
o7 girls her boy friend has known.
This girl you have lost has set your
standards of behavior, now, toward
all the others you will ever know. If
you profit by it, I predict that when
you fall in love again you'll sweep
the girl off her feel.
All your life you Will be ,grateful
to this girl who told you why you
lost out. She sent you away, and
site probably broke her heart doing

office door was always open to any-
one teho wished to see ate. Those
happy days vanished though, on ac-
count of the increasing number of

How Can 1?
Q. How can 1 remove white
stains from furniture?

paper which has been saved, and
then carefully scrapping off the
coloring with a sharp knife. Apply
this coloring to the scratch, and
when dry it will scarcely be notice-
able.

Creative Power of Faith
Hebrews 11:1.10, 39-40; 12:1-2
G0L11hV 711.\7—Now fnidt is the
substance of things hoped for, the
et'itl,n:e of lbtngs not seen.
—llebretc's '11:1.
'1'1:11)• tuu!,1 be no better dcfiui-
tion of faith than that given by the
author of the Boole of Hebrews. It
is "the substance of thingo hoped
'for, the evidence of things not
seen."
As such it is the essence and
foundation of all religion. But it
is more than that. It underlies, and
is the motive power of, all cre-
ative activity, if not of all life.
The poet, the artist, sees his ac-
complished work first of all in
vision, but without faith the idea,
the vision, would 115501 be as
conlplfall ed. So, also, in life. If we
had no faith in a tomorrow, there
would be little meaning in life to-
day,
a: *
It is Isere that religious faith
finds its true significance and
meaning. It is the anchorage for
souls, when everything seems to be
going wrong.
The Hebrews author expounds
the meaning of this sort of faith
by its great examples, and these
in their very nature are impres-
sive and instructive. They have
to do with )tatters that were dif-
ficult and doubtful—journeying in-
to a new, far-off, and unknown
land, trusting promises that were
as yet far from fulfillment, facing
suffering, persecution, and death—
all that men, itt one way or an-
other, have faced, and will face
even In an atomic age. And hid
story is of those who, through
faith, were builders and con-
querors.
* * *
It is. or ought to he, an inspiring
story for today. What the world
needs above all else is the faith to
overcome disaster, and the faint to
go on in spite of peril and dif-
ficulty.
This is the place of religion,
and the world's need of it, The
ancient writer said that without
faitli it is impossible to please God.
And it is God's provision for man's
life that without faith he cannot
work out his own saltation.
