Synopsis
Chapter XIII: The Spanish girl,
Juanita, meets Michael's father at
the mission. He tells her that Valdez
has asked Padre Vincente to keep
here there at the mission for safety.
CHAPTER XIV
It was Michael's task to find out
who that boss was, who Garvin's
othr companions had been in the
raid on the Valdez hacienda, and
to bring them to hook—as he had
brought Garvin to book within hours
after he had learned where the man
was.
To that end he determined to take
a part, too, in the new raid that
was planned, according to Garvin's
letters, This time the evil crew were
to descend on Deep Water Valley,
over in Arizona. Dizzy thoughts ran
through Michael - Valdez mind as
he read and reread the letters.
Words tumbled to fit a jigsaw puz-
zle, Rustling, holdups, beef men,
Coronado, gambling, Deep \Vater
Valley, Don Altero's Cross. It
seemed to lack only one piece. \Vho
was the big boss behind it all?
h *
One letter he separated from the
others, which he hid in the cave. He
could come back for them when the
need are se. His face shone with
triuph when he folded that one
particular letter and put it in his
pocket, a little used pocket frons
w•hldt he would not be likely to pull
it cat accidentally. For in it was
ouch that he had been truing to
disc.nu' in all these five years on
the outlaw trail!
Deep Water Valley lay to the
north and cast of the hideout in the
badlands, but when El l'a'allero
Rojo set out his trail led south and
west toward Coronodo. Taking the
short tut as he did, there were Nmes
when the horse wns forced to tin cad
t•• tuous ravines anti winding trails,
But El Cielo negotiated them in
a t•:.'y that would have lone credit
to a mountain goat.

Eight hours had passed before,
far cit ahead. Michael Valdez saw
a faint glow paint. the night. Then
the lights of Coronado seemed to
twinkle an evil invitation to him.
It was almost midnight when Val
der rode into the sprawling, roister-
ing town. It was such a scene,
spread before him, as he. bad bee roe
familiar with during his wanderings.
I t,,hl., blazed from a dozen saloons.
Otherwise, Main Street was practic-
ally deserted, probably because
everybody was in "Flash' Conroy s
Palace, over which a flamboyant
sign blazed, or in one of the smal-
ler sal000ns.
Valdez turned into the livery
stable in the rear of the town's
hotel and left El Cielo to the care
of the straggly -mustached livery-
man who came forward, half asleep
Ltaving the livery barn, he saunt-
ered along the board sidewalk, fin-
ally halting before the Palace Sa-
loom He pushed open the batwing
doors and stepped into the brightly
lighted interior.
* * *
Bel Ind the mahogany the bartntd-
cr, who had caught one glimpse of
the new arrival's black hair, the
chart o clothing, and the deviFinay-
cafe Latin swagger, was suddenly
busy with his cloth, as hz ang'cd
darn near his heavy shotgun. Val-
dez missed none of t9'se actions,
althoegh he appeared to be entire
ly indifferent. He streic deliberate-
ly- tce,erd the bar.
"Howdy," he bald shortly. "Is

"Yeah," said the bartender. "He's

follow in the Wake of the notorious
Caballero Rojo wherever that leg-
endary red-haired avenger might
choose to set his path.
a * *
The gambler, Flash Conroy, with-
out appearing to notice the approach
of the stranger in his saloon, was
wondering if the appearance here of
this Mexican, Michael Valdez, meant
that El Caballero Rojo was some-
where itt the neighborhood. There
had never been any actual proof to
connect the two men but the coincid-
ence of their appearance in the same
place at the same times had in many
men's minds ceased to be coincid-
ence.
Conroy, however, gave no out-
ward evidence of the thoughts that
were swiftly" milling around in his
mind. His gambler's poker face
never changed aspect. For all that
anyone could see, he was interested
only in the poker hand which he
was scanning.
Flash was a fine figure of a man
in his black broadcloth, stiff -bosom-
ed while shirt and black string tie—
garb that was almost a uniform
with men of his ilk.
Atop his sleek dark head was a
broad black sombrero, and he wore
black tooled Mexican riding boots.
Though his long black coat hid it,
a business -like six gun hung at his
waist in a well-oiled holster and,
according to the tine -honored cus-
tom of gannbiers all through the
West, a derringer that could drop
into his hand on the instnnf was up
his sleeve.
Neither gun was there for orna-
ment. ,'fatty a man tt'lio was now re-
posing in Boot Hill might have
testified to Plash Conroy's speed of
hand and eye-- before that same
speed sent hint there.

Your Handwriting
and YouBy
Alox S, Arnott
Dear Isar, Arnott:
A .business associate Itas ap-
proached me about a 1100' partner-
ship. Would you please tell .me
what you think of the enclosed
example of handwriting of this
person?
Answer:
This handwriting is a very good
example of insincerity, secretive-
ness, aggressiveness and suspici-
ousness, with the ability to divert
attention from the teal issues in a
very clever and cunning way.
In the script the writing varies;
there is not a line, not a word, not
a letter, not even the margin of
the letter where there is any kind
or reasonable order or, consistency.
The lines are not straight but go
up and down. The letters vary in
shape, style and size, lower and
upper Loops in the letters varying
in height and width—a good exam-
ple of insincerity, showing no in-
tention of keeping promises or
conunitntents, if tate writer ran
help it. Notice how each letter
"t" has a double twist which
crosses over the stent of the let-
ter and then to the right, This
is a sure indication that the writer
is secretive and would not admit
the truth until faced with evidence
and facts. The ability to plan and
to carry the plan to a successful
conclusion is evident 'in the long
strokes beginning each capital let-
ter and is also indicated by the
wide spaces between the lines. ,
Aggressiveness is shown in the
"of", so aggressive in fact that
the letter "f" has no shape or for-
mation at all. The "chopped off"
finals of all the words indicate the
person to be selfish, materialistic
and shrewd to the point of ob-
taining everything possible for a
very small return. The blots,
smears, the back and forth sway
of the script is a strong indication
of suspicion, ever watchful for per-
sonal interests and ready to take
advantage of the weakness of
others.

Sunday School Lesson
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
Building Christian Character
2 Peter 1: 5-11 ; Jude 17-21,
24, 25
GOLDEN TEXT—As ye have there-
fore received Christ Jesus the T,ord,
so walk yc in him: rooted and built
up in Min.—Colossians 2: 6.7.
The first requisite itt building is a
good foundation, Peter says, "His
divine power has granted to us all
things that pertain to life and god-
liness—that—you may escape the
corruption that is in the world be-
cause of passion, and become par-
takers, of the divine nature."
Becoming a Christian is not a
human attainment but a work of
God in the heart. There must be a
purging from the old sifts before
Christian character can be built.
But the entry into the Kingdom
of Jesus Christ is just the beginning.
Growth and development must fol-
low, Faith, virtue, knowledge, self-
control, steadfastness, godliness,
brotherly affection and love are
characteristics which will become
more and more prominent, The
Christian life is not static. Progress
is the keyword. If we are not daily
becoming more like Christ, decay has
begun. We have turned our eyes
away from Christ and arc walking
in darkness.
* * *
On whom does the responsibility
for success in the Christian life de-
pend? It rests partly on the indi-
vidual. ''Give diligence to make
your calling and election sure."
"Keep yourselves in the love of God."
No one is a Christian against his
will. We must put our best into it.
Nothing less will secure an abun-
dant entrance into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
But the cannot succeed itt our own
strength. The devil is a great ad-
versary, The spirit of the world
beckons to the sensual life. Our
keenest striving is insufficient, Jude,
after warning of the mockers in/the
last time and exhorting us to build
on faith and pray, closes of this
triumphant note: "Unto him that is
able to keep you from falling, and
to present you faultless before the
presence of Itis glory with exceed-
ing joy .•:'

Young Girl Wants

THE TEENAGE Iifc of a young

* it depends largely upon (ha friends
site makes. Usually site is one of
* a group who enjoy each other, who
* go about tocether for dances,
sports, movies,
evenings in each
others' hones.
They excilange
confidences, trust
each other, and
there's seldom a
dull evening for
any one of then.
rot alas, this is
not always true.
'Peen years can l e desolate. Some
* girls, Tess ur wore mature than
* those they la ow, find themselves
,u lonely and us topular. They strug-
* gle hard to te friendly. but all
they get is th cold shoulder. And
* they are miserable, wondering
* vhv.
* One girl of int finds herself
* without a single girl friend. "Girls
* seem to like utr, but after awhile
* they don't want me around. I'm
* a junior now, and I'm going to be
* married after I graduate. But
* these years in school are going to
* be dreadfully hard if I don't sue-
* coed in cooking friends. 1 was al-
* ways popular with bur's, but I
* don't want to be now I'm engaged.

o HO\\' TO \LIKE FRIENDS
It is not easy for one who does
not know a ,girl to put a finger on
the reasons other girls shun her.
But a feta sugg.'sliats may shore her
where site has failed. Then she can
do something about it.
Be unselfish. Admire a girl's new
dress, or the tray she's doing her
hair this jail. Ask her ottt on a
doable date; if she hasn't a boy
friend, ask your ,tat to bring one

Invite n girl you like ham' with
i'ott for the night or for a we It end.
When she returns the invitation, put
your best foot forward with her
parents.
The time to make friends is in
these younger years. And all your

him, the man with the close -crop-

had drifted away when they saw
there was nothing doing, Even
the policeman admitted it was the
