CHAPTER XXXII- He was reeling as he turned into the alley back of the building, mov- ing oning as quietly and hastily as he could toward the street where he had left his mount. He stumbled, lurched against the clapboard wall, but recovered himself. \Vhen he got to the street a swift glance told him that most of the Wren who had been in the saloon were heading for its doors. Valdez darted across the street. His %sounded leg slowed him up, and by now his brain was reeling. "There lie goes!" a man's cake bawled. "After hint!" Michael Veld:.' wits were still about hint sufficiently for him to realize itis peril, and his gun spat flame over the heads of the infur- iated townspeople. in answer, bul- lets sliced the air around his sway- ing body. Then he was on the other side of the street, in the broad daylight. sliding down to- ward the creel: and moving along to where he had left his horse. He found El Cielo, but it was agony for hint to pull himself into the saddle. Finally he made it, though, and settled down, steady- ing himself by the leather with quivering fingers. If he could make the trail he had a fair chance to Ione his pur- suers, who even now were taking to their mounts. Otherwise . . A hot stab of pain in his leg made hint Wince. El Cielo was pounding on. though as if aware it all was up to him now, and then Valdez heard the stones of the trail rattle under his Angel wings, gay scallops, fresh ruins, frills for your darling's spring party dress!

He did not know how far he had ridden at full gallop when a black cloud shut down over his senses. One hand tightened on the reins while the other gripped the pommel of his saddle. The long shadows of approaching dusk heralded the end of a bad day for Michael Val- dez. But there was still room in his heart for exultation. That same day had seen the finish of one more of the men against whom he had taken the t eugeance trail. * * * Only one more now --the "big boss!" But even his dulled brain told him that now there was more for him to do. For on his way to find the man he meant to get, there WAS a problem of wrong to others to b settled in this valley. And El Caballero Rojo was not a man to shirk such a duty even for person- al gratification. Yet some instinct insistently said to him that the two trails of evil crossed, and that in running to earth the man re- sponsible for the tragedy here, he would find the man who }tad caused his own. He forced himself to rest for a time when he reached the safety of the hideout. He bound up his leg• finding to his satisfaction that the wound was more painful than serious. For in spite of his in- jury he soon found strength flow- ing back into his healthy body. And once more he was ready for what might come, Changing from his cheero cloth- ing, and removing the black wig so that his own red -gold hair glinted from beneath the brightly decor- ated sombrero, he waited until dusk gave way to the thicker shad- ows of night. This night the moon was blanketed by as sinister and dark a cloud as his own thoughts of the mysterious "big boss" he still must find. * * Silently as a falling leaf, then, he moved on to the Alman farm—a doubled -over splotch of darkness himself. Arrived there, he skirted the remains of the shed, paused a moment beneath a giant tree, then streaked on again and flattened himself against the side of the modest house. Reaching the win- dow through which a light shone, he peered in. He saw a girl, young and pretty. Her face, stained with tears, was turned to the bed, where lay a young man whose face was as white as the sheet tucked under his chin. An older man stood at the bed- side, a mac whose clothes showed that he, too, was a farmer. Michael Valdez glided around the house to the entrance. He thrust open the door and stood on the treshold with the yellow lamplight full upon him —a redbah'ed apparition in velvet attd glittering silver ornaments. * * * The girl cried out in terror. The old man gaped like one seeing a ghost. .From the pillow carte a half -groan, half'cry, filled at once with hope and with fear. El Caballero Rojo stepped in and closed the door behind hitn, "There is nothing to fear," he said quietly. "You two"—he gestur- ed toward the girl and the old man —"stand over there, please." As they hesitantly obeyed. Val- dez walked to the bed, and front over the scarlet handkerchief he looked down at the pinched smile on the freckled face of red-headed Straw .\ldman. "You wont wear those Mee clothes and the red trsppittgc again," Vadez said with gentle firmness. "Stealing my brand i. not so good." "But I—" "Si.

I t s foundation lies, of course, in jealousy; in our eagerness t o rate first with those we like, we are apt to resent their af- fection for other people. T It e fault drives husbands and wives apart, causes bitter misunderstand- ing between good friends, That is why I urge teen-agers today to watch for this trait in themselves, and overcome it early. Boys resent it particularly, Next time you meet a nice boy whom you think you're going to enjoy know- ing, remember that before you came along he had other girl friends too. And it is not to be expected that he will neglect them just because you're his social pic- ture now. Don't try to absorb all his time. Don't show you're disappointed that he doesn't immediately ask for a second date. Take it easy. Your friendship will last longer. SHARE YOUR FRIENDS * And don't for heaven's sake, * try to monopolize him. Introduce * him to your group, and expect * that he'll date one or more of * your girl friends too. Be gener- * ons. Boys admire good sports - 's ntanship, and they know it when * they see it. * When your best girl friend * meets a new girl, she will went * to cultivate her, to sound out her * opinions and her tastes. She will * want to meet her family. You * will see less of your friend for a * little while. Don't complain about * it.

IIe delivered those who were demon possessed, Be gave sight to the blind, He set at liberty those that were bruised. He invited the people to enter His kingtlanl of grace. It is significant that in His reading from Isaiah he stopped just before the statement that he had corse to proclaim "The day of vengeance of our God", Warnings of divine wrath and im- pending doom were more frequent ill his later Ministry.
