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. e NAIL This is the apron you'll love to put on.

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 Fhah Conroy around?" "Yeah," said the bartender.

He was moreover, a man who was said to 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. %'1'o be Continued) 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. • Anyone uvslnng a more complete analysis please send self-addressed stamped envelope to Box B, roots 421, 73 Adelaide St. West, 7orottto.

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 .•:' * * * T was walking to Sunday School with my young daughter, Her feet slipped on some ice.
