Close behind him rode Pete Haskell and Tim Callan, and bringing up the rear was a long line of cowmen that grew shorter as men dropped out of the grit) caravan in pairs; head- ing across the valley, rousing out tobacco men with pleas for coop- eration. "You think this blue El Caball- ero Rojo deserves what he sure is going to get?" asked Callan. "I do—if he's in cahoots with Bartle, and if those book; awl pap- ers tell us anything. Otherwise—" "Hey] What's - Luke howling about?" * * * Both men spurred ahead. The three veteran cowmen drew up side by side, gaping at a strange ,sight to be encountered on the range. Full in the last of the moonlight beside a towering tree, a Mexicali peon sat upon a sleek mount. The rider appeared to be armless, be- cause the hands were tied behind the body. There was a gag in the victiut's mouth, a noose about his neck, and the end of the rope was tied about the trunk of the tree, after it had been passel over a [kirk limb. Haskell eh•upped from his own horse and went forward cautiously, in order net to startle the standing mount. With one lice of hie jack- knife he severed the rope, close to the tree, in half a minute the peon was thankfully free. "Gracias, senor," tae llc:-,ican muttered with gratilnele.

It has been proven that twins, idemiral in all respect=, have rarialioes in their writing that identify each as a different person-. ality. Question: Can you tell me, from my tumuli ritiug, if I Willever starry. Answer: Handwriting analysis is not fortune telling. It can tell you what you are at the present time. 1t is unfair for anyone to encourage another to believe that handwriting can predict the future, It is prob- able that a person can improve their life by corrcc'lint; their faults brought to their attention by hand- writing analysis but handwriting analysis itself does not predict future events. Question: \\'hen I write with an- other person's pen, I do not feel that the writing looks like my usual handwriting, \Vlq• is this so? Answer: Every writer instictively knows his or her ow : handwriting by the sense of feel rather that by sight. When you use a Pen not suited to your writing habits, you lose some of your sense of touch and therefore do not write in the same forst.

'€S DAY SCHOOL °mak yj4+.1 r .td./SSO1 \ Micaiah; A Ptophet of Israel I Kings 22:1-40 Golden Text: As the Lord livcth, what the Lord saith unto mc, that will I speak. I Kings 22:14, Our studies now tarn to "Un- heralded Bible Cletrac.ers" and this week we deal with Micaiah, a pro- phet of northern Israel in the ninth century before Christ. Ahab, the tricked king of Israel had solicited aid from the good king Jehoohaphat of Judah. Before they went forth to war Jelioshaphat sug- gested that they should inquire of the Lord. Four hundred prophets assured .Malt of success. But Jeltosltaphat, uneasy in this unholy alliance, asked if there might be yet another prophet, Ahab hated Micaialt because, said he, "He doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil". However Micaiah was summoned. *e * * Micaiah was urged by the king's messenger to sp,a:t as the others had me he:t. Dm he replied, "As the Lord lit•eti, what the Lord saith unto mc, that will I speak". At first .ho ironically concurred with the other prophets in their pleasing message, - The king detected the irony and pressed for the truth. Then Micaiah recounted his vision which indicated that Israel would be defeated and tile' king slain.-` For pronouncing such truths he was committed to prison to be fed on bread and water, Though Ahab disguised himself he was killed in the battle which ended in defeat for Israel just as Micaiah had predicted. * * * Dean Swift said, "If you wish to be considered a man of sense, al- ways agree with the person• with whom you are conversing". It has always been a temptation for preachers to give the people what they want rather than what they need, Sermons against popular 1 vices are exceedingly rare to -day, One magistrate says that is one reason why crime is costing the nation more than ever before. 11 is aur rtsponsibility, whether preacher or layman, to deliver God's truth. ger got; Argentina has,, a ha;jjjal of 1,(17)..06.; et, square stiles an a p 1 1'1111111 of about 1'1,1;0 no How Can 1?
