CHAPTER XI Outside the cave he hurriedly saddled EI Cielo and started down the slope for the badlands he must travel to reach Paisano Valley. The last glimpse he had of Juanita was of her standing in the cave entrance, her lovely young face smiling at him as she waved her hand. Michael Valdez made a swift ride to the valley and as swift a return as he could, leading the horse that had been Juauita's father's mount. It was a skinny sorrel, but Valdez believed it had possibilities once it was properly fed. Juanita had a meal ready for hint, and it was only shortly after noon when her horse was ready for her trip to the mission. Valdez figured that it would be at least a three-day ride for the girl, and made preparation for that. Plenty of supplies were pack- ed for the journey, and a saddle roll was made up which contained everything for the girl's comfort during those three days in the open. * * Without comment, then, El Ca- ballero Rojo fastened to the cantle of the saddle the heavily laden saddlebags containing the money he had taken from Raymond Gar- vin the night before. Juanita's eyes widened as silt heard the clink of coins. "But what is this?" she deman- ded. "I want you to give these sad- dlebags to Padre Vincente when you meet him. IIe'Il know what to do with them and what they con- tain. Tell him he'll bear from me again from somewhere around Deep Water Valley. I'm heading for Arizona and Coronado right away." Valdez led the girl's horse out on the rock ledge before the cave and told her good-bye. Her con- fident, love'y young face was alive with eagerness at the prospect of fulfilling a mission for hint, " I•fasta la vista, senor!" she cried, as she turned her mount's head toward the slope. "We shall nlcct again;" "\'aya esu Dios" echoed Valdez, and grinael a., he turned back into the hideout. "(:o with God—be- cause we shall not meet again, niy wild one." But as be :.at down on the stump chair beside the pine -bough cot, somehow the cave refuge seemed empty.

Like everybody else in that part of the West, through all the states lead- ing up to Arizona from the border and on the other side of the border itself, she had long heard of the man as an almost legendary figure. Some of what she had heard had been good, but far more of it had heen not so good. But now site knew hint herself, had known him for a day and a night. She had talked to him, she had seen itis kindness, his gentleness back there in her ravaged home, She had searched his face with clear -seeing eyes that she believed had looked into his soul, and she had found it clean of any evil thing. Perhaps after she had completed this strange journey she would know more of the strange saga of El Caballero Rojo. The priests at Corpus Christi night tell her many things. But whatever the outcome, what- ever she learned or did not learn, she knew one thing right now, and from that nothing on earth could sway her—she mast follow him wherever he went, whatever he did. That firth thought was like a signpost with just one arrow, an arrow showing her the only trail her own life could take, * * * Juanita rode through Paisano Valley as swiftly as she could, but once she had passed it she set a steady pace. Star -eyed daisies and primroses gazed up at her invitingly in other places, and here and there she rode by a jungle of juniper and chaparral that looked like a sea of green, stretching away to the hori- zon, But nothing tempted her to dismount until each night, she found a camping spot where she ate a cold meal and wrapped up in her blankets to fall asleep under the stars. On the afternoon of the third day of her journey Juanita de Cuevas saw the distant outlines of the mission, She urged Pedro on to a swifter pace. Soft banks of white clouds hung motionless in the cardinal sky of just before dusk. In the rays of that setting suit they shone like polished silver. And under this cathedral canopy stood her goal —the Mission of Corpus Christi. Approaching it front the mount- ainside along which she had been traveling for the last few hours, the first thing she saw was the life- sized representation, in granite, of the Crucifixion, It was in the center of the garden that was lush with blooms u: scarlet and white and gold, and shaded by age-old trees that seemed to hover over the place in benediction. A gray-haired padre walked slowly back and forth in the court- yard, repeating his paternoster. He stopped and kneeled before the great granite crucifix. Only the low stumble of his voice could be heard, and the muted hum of in- serts coating otit to greet the com- ing dusk. * * * His devotions completed, the padre becalm aware then, for the first time, of the kneeling figure at the gate, He arose and greeted .Juanita, in her ragged overalls of a peal boy, :\ benediction, my son," he said in a sonorously mellow but gentle voice, " Vhat brings you herr this night:" "I have conte a long way with a message and a present for you, Padre", Juanita replied meekly. "Had you come with no burden except your sins for which you may wish to atone you would have been welcome," murmured the padre. "I am Padre Vincente," he announced. "It is I perhaps whom you seek? \Vhat do men call you, Illy son?" Juan de Cuevas, Padre," was Juanita's simple response, and site spoke truthfully, for 'nen had call- er her that, since her father had seen fit for her to go about in the guise of a boy.. "Juan," stuttered the padre, "play the grace of Clod be with yott. Conte with me indoors where you may be fed and cared for. 1 will have your beast seen to." Juanita lifted the weighted saddlebags from I'edro's saddle, tossed then over Iter slight should» ers and half stumbled after the priest. He led her through a cor- ridr and into a cell-like office in the adobe building There she dropped her burden to the floor, opened tite taddiebags and let the gold pieces tinkle out onto the stone floor. (To be Continued) Your Handwriting and YouBy Alex $, Arnott Dear 11r. Arnott: "1 have held a variety of positions and cannot seem to settle down to any part. icular line of employment that I really like. Would your analysis of my handl' titing tell rue the type of vocation for which I ata best suited," writes E.M. of Toronto, Answer: Handwriting analysis does reveal the writer's vocational tendencies t O asurprising' do lCC. Many o t f m • readers write to e S ) m about their employment problems 15 and I am always pleased to give a character analysis which may reveal talent or serve as a guide to choos- ing a suitable vocation. Your script clearly shows that you have a dual personality, that is, your nature is a changeable one. At tinges you are quite reserved and inclined to be iuclifferent with your associates and at other times you can be very friendly and genuinely sympathetic and in ac- cord with your surroundings. You have ambition and ability to do many things but, unfortunately, you are easily persuaded and are, there- fore, inclined to make quick changes impulsively. The writing indicates that you are a good begin- ner but need encouragement to complete whatever you start. Extra- vagance is also shown to reveal a nature that is a spendthrift and not likely to conserve energy or material possessions. Employment which requires spe- cialization and attention to detail would not be suitable for you. You would do well to acquire employ- ment where there is constant change and variety, where keen judgment is not essential and re- sponsibility is limited. Any occupa- tion which would involve travel and change of location, where your associations with people would be varied from time to tine, would be most suitable for you. a Anyone wishing a more complete analysis please send self-addressed stamped envelope to Box 13, room 421, 73 Adelaide St. iPest, Toronto.

Fte was not among the Twelve Apostles; in fact, we are told itt John 7:3-0, that the brothers of Jesus did not believe in flim. But after His crucifixion, they joined the Christian company (Acts 1:41, and two books of the New Testament, James and Jude, are associated with brothers of the Master. James is mentioned by Paul (I Corinthians 31:71 as among those who had a vision of the Risen Christ. He became a great power in the church at Jerusalem. When we thiulc of James as the leader of the CliriStiall cotntttuttity we can see hint much as we would see the wise pastor of a church, dealing with his people according to their needs and conditions, re- buking laxity. By tite time the Epistle was written, the Christian community had grown enough to present nen' problems. The "man with the gold ring" was typical of some of the well-to-do who had been drawn to the Christian fellowship, and James found it necessary to remind the Christians that God was no res- pecter of persons. Likewise, when he saw Christian duties and oppor" ' tunnies for kindness being neglect+ ed, he gave- the great, practicat definition of pure religion in Jatnet 1:137.
