Michael Valdez, riding towards Gold Creek, sees a figure in the distance against the skyline, dressed like himself, red hair and all, Chapter XXVIII His grin faded, though, and his lips tightened gristly. "Now," he thought, "the terrible stories will start of what El Cabal- lero Rojo has done in Deep Water Valley." Valdez nudged the blue roan for the knoll where he had last seen the rid,r determined, after all, to trail the impostor. But in that instant, far to the north, atop a sharp, crowned hill, he saw another rider— unmistakably Juanita. The girl's wig -wagged speech was plain. Brief- ly it said that she had seen some- thing that needed tracking down— seen the very person that Valdez himself had just seen. * * * "Twin?" signaled Valdez, to sat- isfy himself. "Sit" came the reply, and Juan- ita promptly dropped out of sight. Then Michael Valdez heard the thunder of hoofs on his right. The swift thought caught at his mind— a posse was galloping in pursuit of the false Caballero. 1 0. A score of horsemen poured into the arroyo like charging cavalry. Pete Haskell was in the lead on a mount as white as a fresh snowdrift. Has- kell's eyes narrowed when he saw Valdez in the trail—a stranger to him—so still and placidly smoking. The rancher pulled up, The white reared and Haskell closed in on Valdez. Over Haskell's shoulder went a command to some of the others to keep on in the direction the fleeing rit:_r had gone. Then he walked his white horse in a complete circle New angle to flatter your figure and ego!

ISSUE 8-19-18 around Valdez, scrutinizing every inch of man and horse, "A gent in some circus clothes ride by this way, stranger?" he finally snapped. "You happen to notice?' Valdez' face was friendly. He looked toward the south — away front the direction the rider had actually taken—and nodded. "Yeah," he said quietly. "I saw something kind of shiny streakin' south. Far off. Glad to know it was a rider. Kind of had me puzzled for a minute. I was thinking it was some animal that had got away from somebody maybe." * * * Haskell spun around to the rem- nants of his followers. "Some of you men head south," he ordered. "That blasted El Cab- allero Rojo is not far off!" The black -haired vaquero whistl- ed. "El Caballero Rojo, did you say?" he asked in astonishment, his eyes wide. "Yep," snapped the cattleman. "And as slick and fast as he's al- ways been said to be." "Plaguing you gents, is he?" "Not yet. But he's all set to— unless he gets told a few things about what's what. Thing is, there had been some dirty work down in Deep \Vater Valley nearby. This redhea dum s at the conclusion J p that we cattlemen are responsible for it. We're holding a meeting to try to sort of figure out bow we can get our own troubles cleared up, and Ile busts in on it and shouts that we'll pay for what's been done. We've got plenty of trouble without him messing in, so we aim to get that El Caballero Rojo before he does damage to the wrong parties." Valdez' smile was wan. "From what I hear about that outlaw," he ventured to put in, "he don't put his boot down until he's sure there is a snake underfoot." "He's shore made a mistake this tine then," snapped the cattleman, "Aad—" His lips tightened again. 'Well, we got to push on, stranger. Ride with us?" Valdez shook Ids head. "Sorry," he said. "But I've got something right important to attend to in Go14 Creek, and I'm late now in getting there. Maybe I'll be back this way, and if I do, I'll be riding with you gents. Adios," Haskell watched Valdez with- draw. "Well"—the old cattleman looked over at Luke Wallace—"let's ride." As Michael ('ode away from them slowly, his mind was busy. That other Caballero Rojo—he must be pretty reckless and impulsive. Or else that old cattleman was a liar. Still no man could buck a crowd of ranchmeu like that and be brand- ed coward. "My twin certainly seems to be- lieve that the cattlemen are respon- sible for what happened last night" Valdez mused. ''As for myself—I'll remain neutral. At least until I hear from Juanita. Then my chips will go in with the truth. Whatever it is." * * a He pushed on, grim of face and determined to get to the bottom of things, for he knew that he had to bring justice to the man or then, whoever they were, who had been responsible for that hideous cruci- fixion. He solemnly swore to On.. mask that man, no matter at what risks or clangers, For the urge for Justice burned in Michael Valdez Tike a hot iron. What cvas more, his instinct told him that when he found the man back of the trouble here, he would also be facing the stall he himself had looked for so long --the matt who had been "big boss" to Garvin and C'onrey, the than who at heart had been rerponrihlc for Irl Cab- allero )2ojo's own tragedy, (To be Continued) Your Handwriting and Yoti Alex Sy Arnott The character and personal quali- ties of the world's people may be compared with the likeness of the earth's surface with its high moua- taitt tops, low depressions, and level plateaux. Just as there are Itiglt mountains, so there are great then and women whose intelligence and strength of character rise above that of their fellow men, with the great mase of the earth's people being average like the level of a plateau. Just as we have great heights of human intelligence, so Iv'. have the opposite forms of low- er mentality with its strife, insin- cerity, deceit and cunning. In my many correspondents, there is am- ple opportunity to see the mental heights to which the average per- son can rise. Even an average per- son can rise alcove the petty things of life and become great mentally and intellectually for each of us has talent in one way or another and, if we are consistent and ambI- tiotrs in the use of our talents, we can make remarkable changes for the good of all as well as for per- sonal happiness. With so many at- tractions of pleasure and relaxa- tion, the average people are likely to let others supply the talent while they are content to remain on the average level of endeavor. The world's people, as we find them through handwriting analysis, need more ambition, sincerity, hopeful- ness and charity, with less spite, revenge, insincerity and greed. * * * This eek's example of writing is part of a letter received from a reader whose sincerity of purpose, ambition, hopefulness and charity is clearly illustrated in every litre of her writing. The clean cut script with every loop and line easily visi- ble tells me of the writer's desire to be frank with all her associates and ambitious in all that she does. Such fine lines in the writing are indicative of spiritual wealth with contentment and peace of mind that comes from a nature which enjoys and appreciates the simple things that bring personal happi- ness. The wide spaces between the connecting strokes of each letter are excellent examples of a gener- ous and unselfish nature, The height of all loop letters above the writing line are very high and, like the writer's mind, endeavor to reach above the lower levels to achieve great attainments, The script is neat and orderly, of good form and consistency, to indicate the habits of the writer. t t This writing has all the traits of character that rises to the moun- tainous heights, above the average levels of human endeavor. .a, Our readers may receive an in- teresting and instructive personal analysis .of their .handwriting by sending an example of writing with 25 cents and a stamped, self-addres. sed envelope to Bos B, roost 421, 73 Adelaide St {Vest, Toronto, dhilf � " �ati,' on°O! ue °ae �¢rij2#..�p *- --.--y .- a�iio�lQ4,,,,,,, mit ��i i/ �!,,I I/tA��,tFillnMi� fit t' "_ -:iA��',�'/ice Imo' ut+.ata�. t 656 n A w':,U 'U F!

Barclay Warren The Fellowship of Christian Believers Acts 2:37.47; Epheslans 4:1-6 Golden Text -- 'There is One body and one S1-iri, even as ye arc called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptisni, one God and Father of all, who is above all, anti though all, and itt you all. Ephesians 4:4.6. The day of Pentecost is one of the memorable days in world I-Iis- tory. After the outpouring of the Iloly Spirit, Peter wino had denied his Lord on the night of the betray- al, became the foremost preacher of the occasion. 'rhe city which had witnessed the crucifictiou of Jesus a few wecics before heard the charge 'front Peter, "Ilim—ye have taken, and by v.icked hands have crucified, both Lord and Christ". Those who beard were pricked to the heart and exclaimed, "Men and brethren what shall we do?" The answer came, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the prom- ise is unto you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shalt call." About three thousand heeded the call that day. 5 * M: There was an intense fellowship among these believers. "Alt that believed were together, and had all things coaunon." This was not cotnlnnnisln. '"here was 1lo con- fiscation of wealth. But there was a marvelous generosity. Some sold possessions and party to all teen, as every ratan had need. This action made fora close spirit of unity which persisted when persecution came and they were scattered abroad, Despite the rtsany denominations today, the church, the trite body of Christian believers is one. This is beautifully set'' rill in the golden teat, We make too much out of our differences and fail to emphasize our oneness. When the church was making its greatest impression upon the world, the individual believers were characterized by the unity of tate Spirit. If the Holy Spirit could have the sante place in the church today, spiritual oneness, and great victories in the saving of souls would again be the order of the day. Our need is not more mai chinery and organization but the Holy Spirit, The need is impera- tive if the church is to fulfill her mission in the world.
