BY J A CASA 0 INC:' C 0 L E Synopsis CHAPTER XXIX: Juanita in- forms Valdez that, although she has lost track of the killer, she knows that the man who assumed the disguise of the red cavalier and frightened the cattlemen was Shaw Aldman. CHAPTER XXX "No. But worse may come, senor. Men strain at the leash, Cattlemen say no more settlers shall enter the north pare of Deep Water Valley. One mars says they shall." "This one man," Valdez said musingly. "Who is he?• Did you hear his name:" "Si, senor. His name is Russ Bartle, I have hear, and he is a banker here in the town of Gold Creek. More than that, most of the land in the valley is his. His busi- ness it is to •bring these tobacco farmers into the valley, even know- ing that when they buy from him their lives hang on thin threads. He reminds me, senor, of the Senor Raymond Garvin who did the same thing in my own Paisano Valley. But there seems not to have been the same reason Senor Garvin had --so far as I have heard. He does not try to take the tobacco farmers' land and run them away." "Then what is his reason for bringing them in and snaking all the trouble?" Juanita shook her head discon- solately. "I do not know, senor. Un- less it is to show that he can do what he pleases with what he owns, and may want to let the cattlemen know that he is greater man than they, any of them." Her small dark head shook as she sighed for the evil of the world. 'But it is leading to a war be- tween the farmers and the ranchers, senor. It is leading to much blood- shed," • "'Vith selfishness on this Bartle's part to keep it flowing," Valdez 4969 SIZES 10-16 Parents glow with pride if you sew this yourself!

While he and Juanita preteuded to be engrossed' its their card game, both of them listened attentively to what the new arrival's had to say. As aright have been expect- ed, the conversation touched upon the unsuccessful attempt to ruts down El Caballero Rojo, who had so tmexpectedly appeared in Deep Water Valley. Men, it seemed, had combed the valley. But to no avail. Valdez leaned closer to Juanita. "Find out all you can about this Russ Bartle," Ise whispered. "Soon after dusk I'll go see the redheaded young man who was wearing my brand of clothes. Be there." * * * Michael Valdez strolled over to the bar after Juanita left, with much flashing of white teeth at her pleasure in having "set him, and in their card game. He ordered a drink. As Ise stood ther with it in his hand he kept his ears open. The main thing the was thinking about now was that somewhere in or near this town was a man in whom he was particularly and per- sonally interested, a matt whom he desperately wanted to find. But he had no way of knlwing who that man was, He had already accounted for two of the men who had set his feet in the vengeance trail, but there were at least two others of whom he knew. Train Carter was one of them, ii he should be going by Isis right name now. And then there was the "big boss" who was still nameless. Valdez was just finishing his drink when a word from down the bar reached his ear and froze his hand halfway to his mouth. It was a simple greeting from one of the men at the bar to another man who had just entered the saloon. 'Hello, there, Train Carter! Long time no see. What brings you here to Gold Creek?" Instantly Michael Valdez' body stiffened. Train! Train Carter! The man whose name was in the re- vealing letter still in Valdez' poc- ket, the name that seemed to be leaping out of it to sear Michael Valdez' skin. Valdez' eyes raised slowly, and he scanned the faces in the back bar mirror, Coldly he picked out the cruel face that he knew must be the face of Train Carter. one of the men who had been the mur- derers of Valdez' mother. The man who had been hailed as Carter halted at the end of the bar. The bartender placed a bottle and a glass before him, and Carter poured himself a man-sized drink. He leaned on the bar -rail, rested ass elbow upon the Mahogany, then picked up his filled glass and tossed down his drink. \Vith an uncon- scious gesture that seemed instinc- tive he hunched ep the big forty- five that sagged from one hip and swung the holster around to the front, Michael Valdez put down his own glass, wiped his mouth with tlse back of his hand and walked toward Train Carter. His face be- neath the black wig was set and masklike, his stride sure and pur- poseful, the gait of a mats deliber- ately set for trouble. Men recognized that, too. There was all uneasy stir among those nearest Valdez. People nearest Carter and Valdez at the bar lost no time in getting out of a possible line of fire, For there was some- thing in the eyes of the strange vaquero that spelled death. 'Valdez strode down the roons un- til he was at the e end of the bar. Carter was facing him, watching him suspiciously, not knowing what it was all about, but his hand wan hovering over the walnut butt of his pistol. Then coldly, calmly, Valdez spoke, (3'r, 13e Continued) Your Handwriting y and You Alex SB Arnott An interesting iztt•rr eumes to me front 0110 of v.ur Ontario read- ers and she writes 115 part: I neves' ntiss reading your interesting art- istes on handwriting analysis and 1 look forward to them each week with much interest, Although I ant ee years old and not able to get around like I used to, I would like to have my handwriting analysed so that I may know ants faults and begin to correct them. In reply to your request I may say that you are to be commended for your style of writing at such a late time of life for there is clearness and exactness with good control over emotional feelings shown in the script. :\s you point out in your letter that a little in- sight into your character "tight have brought different results dur- ing your life, I think you are re- ferring to temper, the strongest of alt your characteristics. This trait is indicated in your writing by the flying "t" bars which are heavy and spearlike, darting off into space without touching the stens of the letter "5". Fortunately the length of the Isar in short, indi- cating that the temper is short lived. Vou are apparently aware of this and 1 might add that you do not hold a grudge for very long, being ever ready to forgive and for- get after your temper has cooled down. Look at the strokes which begin and end all your words and you will find another interesting trait of character in your writing. These strokes have what is commonly known to graphologists as a small "fists ]took" and this sign is con- clusive evidence of your desire to hold on to ideals and purposes. It is indicative of a characteristic tlsat retakes you set in your ways and opinions, as you do not ac- cept new ideas or principles readily but must be convinced by exper- ience of their merits. The other characteristics I have mentioned in my letter to you should assist you in the effort to learn more about your personality, and you have my best wishes for success.

ANNE [MST Mother Acts As She Thinks Best SO OFTEN a young girl, disappoint- * ed in love, tells me, "Everything * was fine until 1 met Isis mother, * Now he is going with somebody * else!" Or, "I've leen in love for a long time, and thought the boy cared for me — but now he doesn't know I exist, His mother is always inter- fering. How can I open his eyes?" Whether such girls are being • fair or not, mother doindeed "interfere" and for good reasons. * Sometimes it is because the girl * herself does not please her; more 1' often, she feels her son is too * young to get serious about any * one girl. So she acts as she thinks * best for Isis good. * It is regrettatrte that a disappoint- s` ed girl is so quick to blame a lad's * mother, however. Frequently it is * site herself who is responsible for * his change of heart. But this she * will not see, for she is not realis- * ticShe is just a girl who wants * a how she cannot have, * MOTHER'S POWER * Often a lad will tell Isis girl: * "I can't conte as often after to- * night. My mother thinks I'm not * studying hard enough." * Or,"Mother wants nue to take * a course its business administration, * now that Dad's gone. I know you'll * understand!" * If the girl is smart, she'll ac- * quiesce. She knows she cannot fight * a boy's mother. If she suspects any * personal reason for the older wo- * mans opposition, she will eliminate * the fault if she can; if she cannot, * sihe must reconcile herself to the * situation until the young man is * more mature and independent * enough to assert himself at home. * Meantime, she will refrain from * any criticism of his mother—and * that Means to anybody at all. She * will feign a loyalty and under- * standing she may not feel, and * exercise a tolerance, she did not * know she possessed. This attitude * cannot help but rebound to her * credit, whatever happens in the * f uture. 4' Of course it is best to be friendly * with the family of the lad you care * for—if they will let you be. To * treat his mother with the same * courtesy you expect him to accm'd * your own. To show her, by your * good manners and your personal * dignity, that you are a girl she'd * be proud to introduce to her * friends. And to observe the amen- * ities Which older people, even to- * day. consider important in the * social world. * Mothers arc people, after all, * When they seem. msrcasonalsle or * selfish, it is because their sons are * more precious to them than their * own happiness—or anybody else's, * Wise is the young girl who tries to * understand, and conducts herself * accordingly, * To "M.A.", "Alone Now," * "All Her Fault": * Thero is nothing you can do, * except to accept the situation as it * is. His mother may have had * nothing to do with this; if she had, * then you are helpless anyhow. * After all, you have your pride. * If she objects to her son's dating * you, then he is not right for you * just now.' Watch your step; be * discreet. It all may pass in time. While ice's liz'iug at home, at least, * lad must be loyal to his another. Respect that need, and fry to under- stand.

Barclay Warren The Personal Witness Of The Christian A 's 8: 26.39. Golden Text Theo said Jesus to them 1 gain, "peace be unto you; as any Father has yeast me, even so send I you." — John 20: 21. Philip was one of the seven men closen to look after the daily mini- s' ation of the people of God. But he did not stop with doing this work. He went down to the city of Se "aria and preached Christ unto them. A notable work was ue and "there was great joy in that city". Then Philip was told by the angel of the Lord to "go to- ward the south of the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza". This is a desert road. This assignment was certainlydifferent front preaching in the cit) of Sam- aria, But God never errs. Here was an Ethiopian of great authority returning from worship at Jerusalem. As he sat in his chariot he was reading the Scrip- s:• -es. Though ws travel much more comfortably today by plane, train and bus, it is not often that the Bible is being read. Magazines and hooks have a decided priority over the best Book. Philip explain- ed the Scripture anti preached, s to the eunuch. He believed and was baptized in token of Isis faith to Jesus Christ as hi; Saviour. The Spirit of the Lord caught away Pis 11" and the eunuch went on his way rejoicing. Jesus said, "As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you". It is the responsibility of every Christ- ian bear personal witness of Jests Christ, The individual wit- ness can be very effective. Jesus spoke personally to Nicodenms, the woman at the well, Zachaeus and others. Almost 25 per cent of Denmark's population is occupied in agricul- ture.

"Ratio," replied Jenkins, "is pro- portion." "13ut what is proportion P' "Why, sir, proportion is ratio." "Well, what are ratio and pro- portion ?" I can only answer one question at a time, sir," replied Jenkins, with cold dignity. WHY BE ENVIOUS of other peoples' coffee when you can serve Maxwell House?
