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.
Juanita tic Cuevas had plenty to
think of during the seventy-two
hours that fr:llowcd her leave -

taking of El Caballero Rojo. 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.

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.

• NOTHING VENTURE
She must have some engaging
qualities, or she wouldn't have so
natty friends. But instead of staking
the most of them, she constantly
dwells on what she thinks arc her
faults. Who says she is not attract-

suspect. Next lime she looks in the
mirror I urge her to examine herself
more fairly, acknowledge what
pleases her and see what can be done
to improve the rest. One's expression

"Living Our Religion" is the
topic of Ilia lesson for Young
Peopla and Adults, and that is re-
ligion in practice.
The Epistle of jetties is repot-
Idly the epistle of "works" and
sonte, including the great DS
run
Luther, have e set it over against
t
the Epistles of Paul as epistles Of
"faith,' But to make such a con-
trast is untrue to the letter and
spirit of the New Testament,
Four Jantescs are mentioned in
the New Testament: James, the
Apostle, son of Zebedee, and
brother of John; Jaates, the son
of Alphaeus, also an Apostle (see
Lulce 6:16, itratr:c:ut Revised Ver-
sion,; James, the father of Judas,
the Apostle who was 1101 Judas
Iscariot; and James, the brother of
Jesus. -
Titis last James, Christian his-
tory asserts, was the author of the
Epistle of James.. 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.
Both the world and the citurchi
need a lot of this Epistle today,
