Chet Maxon floundered back- ward. But before he toppled he shot twice. The shots kicked white puffs from the plaster wall over tha landowner': shoulder. Completely panicked, Bartle dash- ed for the barn. No amount of real estate nor millions in a bank could have held hint in that house another minute. All he asked of life now was a swift horse'. A great shadow fell on the barn door as he tugged at it. A cry ranee from the banker's dry lips. Ile tried to turn around. Like a hangman's hood a dark velvet cape settled over his head. A muscular arm crooked around his neck and held him half stifled while another hand snatched away his gun. As suddenly- as it had fal- len upon hint the cape was pulled away. He whirled in convulsive ter- ror to see the same velvet tight around the lithe body of the red- headed Caballero Rojo.

A canny look came into Bartle's eyes as hope kindled. "The girl's gone for Sheriff Landel You're risking your life here." The man in the scarlet mask mer- ely shrugged, "The sheriff might come," he said, "If you're not a liar. But I doubt if he'll have much to do after I leave here. Get going." Inside the kitchen, the first thing Michael Valdez saw was the bleed- ing man on the floor, and his eyes above the scarlet neckerchief be- came slits of venom. "Fair fight," he squeezed between his teeth. "You, a Westerner who cut his teeth on the butt of an old Colt, And probably the one this Easterner shot with was his first six-gun," He prodded Bartle with his own gun. * * * "He's still breathing," he growled. "Bring him out of that sleep. Pronto! I want a witness to what I'm going to say." Bartle started for the water bucket, hands trembling, knees weak. "That medicine chest in the wall," snapped the man in the caballero clothing. The landowner dazedly swung open the small door. \Vhy, he thought furiously, didn't Weber come? Or the sheriff? \'\'hy didn't \somebody come? Michael Valdez nudged Bartle's thigh with a boot as the hanker bent over the wounded man with a medicine bottle. Maxon gave no sign of returning consciousness. "Get up, Bartle!" the red -masked man growled. "I hate to leave the boy that way, but this place is not the healthiest resort I know of—for me" The landowner wondered if now by some miracle he was to gain a respite. 5 5 + El Caballero Rojc's voice scented to have lost its sting. He got up, hoping — until a heavy ledger was slammed on the table. He watched with popping eyes as papers follow- ed the book and his own six-gun served as a paper weight. El Caballero Rojo opened the ledger. His finger touched the entry that read: Steve Ransom — deceased. He glared at Bartle over his mask. "Well?" he demanded. "Beefinen killed Steve!" Bartle littered. "His wife sold me the place after that. 'There's nothing wrong in—" The Aldman boy on Don Attero's Cross. His father dead beside the burning shed... Beehnen riid that?" His eyes, fiery above the scarlet silk, bored into Bartle's like gim- lets. Then with a motion both smooth and swift, his hands shift- ed. A horseshoe clanged on the zinc - topped table, His jaws were rigid- ly, set. "Yours?" "No!" "You're a liar l" "That shoe was never—" + * * "Made to hang 011 the htri. zontal beam of Don Attero's Cross, eh? As tobacco stalk hung with young Sant Aldman? Maybe not. But there is where it will hang. With you taking that boy's place!" Bartle's blood froze. His face was paper -white, "You wouldn't kill an innocent man?" he cried, "You can't prove anything against me. You—" "Prove, eh?" The masked man's short laugh was not pleasant, "I need no more proof than I already have. Legal proof means nothing to a man outside the law. I am out- side the law—and you put me there!" Russ Bartle looked up, startled. This fellow, he thought must be mad. "I put you there!" he stammered, n yhy-, y (To be eontinued) With the Movie And Radio Folks One of Shirley Temple's earliest — and greatest --- successes was "Little Mks Marker" based on the stunv of thy: same name by the late Damon Runccm. 1t'* helot; fileted attain with Rob dope in the lead- ing role -- that of "014 Sorrowful" the misanthropic bookmaker who accepts a tiny girl as temporary security for a bet on the races and finds himself left with her on his hands, Four year old Mary Jayn Saunders is slated for the part of the little girl, and the picture wall probably hear the title "Sorrowful Jones." A, * *. Probably there are very few novels that have been dramatized and screened as often as Dumas' "Three Musketeers", Latest to do it — and in Technicolor — is MGM, with gene Kelly, \'an Heflin, Kee- nan Wynn and Vincent in the part. of D'Artagnan and his three doughty comrades. Lana Turner and June Alyson will look after the leading feminine roles. * * * Alfred Hitchcock's latest has all Hollywood talking, "The Rope" is a revolutionary filet in that the entire action takes place between sundown and darkness, and is con- tinuous With no time lapses. The camera follows the action from start to finish without a break in the continuity. It will also stark the first time that Jimmy Stewart has been seen in Technicolor, * * * Bing Crosby as a "great lover" should be something new and dif- ferent. In the past Bing has poured most of his romance into his songs, usually sung at a respectful dis- tance from the heroine. The clinch has definitely not been a part of the Crosby technique. But that is now a thing of the past. In his latest pie ture, "The Emperor Waltz" Ding kisses Joan Fontaine 15 different times, by actual count. * * * The daddy of all the screen's "bad men" is back on the job once more. First, of the screen's arch -villains Stuart Holmes — remunber him? — has emerged from semi -retirement to play the part of a court justice in the "Dark Circle" which co- stars Ray Millard, Audrey Totter and Thomas Mitchell. At the height of his "infamy" Holmes was forced to carry a revolver for self-protec- tion from angry fans who took the dastardly deeds he did on the screen a bit too seriously. * * * Another picture based on the writings of Alexandre Dumas is "Cagliostro" which has just been filmed in Italy with Orson Welles in the title role. The company has returned to this side of the Atlantic and finishing touches are being put to the filet in Hollywood, • * * Really delightful uousenee is the way most people described "Air. Peabody's Mermaid" by Guy and Constance Jones, and it was a cer- tainty to reach the screen in short order. William Powell will have the part of the bemused Mr. Peabody, whose encounter with a beautiful mermaid off the Caribbean coast leads his wife to doubt his sanity until she is reassured by a wise psychiatrist, who tells her about "the age of youth and the youth of age." It's the sort of role that should fit Powell like a glove. * * * Out in Hollywood a well-known research organization recently com- pleted an extensive study designed to determine the basic cause of the present box-office slump.

Caravan Romance In Scottish Hills Romance cause on caravan wheels to a 31 -year-old Border shepherd, NinianTait, who lives its a lonely cottage at Merrylaw, in the remote hills of Upper Teviotdale, Scotland. The owner of the caravan was 28 -year-old Mrs. Rosemary Ham- ilton, widow of a night fighter pil- ot in the R.A.F. Sharing Mrs. Hamilton's simple life in the caravan was her four- year-old son, Roy, born a fort- night after his father (then 23) was killed, "Bill" Hamilton, son of a Loan - head, Midlothian doctor, had ex- pressed a wish that his child should be reared its Scotland. Faithful to her trust, Mrs. Hamil- ton came north with Roy and made her temporary home for some years in the Highlands and later at Broughton, Peebleshire. Recently, when she found herself without a home, she bought a cara- van. Then she advertised for a parking site and was offered one at Merrylaw. The night site arrived—it was after dark—a friendly Scots voice called out: "Are ye all right now?" Next morning Rosemary met the owner of the voice—tall, bronzed Ninian Tait. Five weeks later they were married in the little church at Tevlothead. Minim' herds 28 score of Cheviot sheep, and his "beat" covers 1700 acres of hill pasture. "Welcome to Canada!" says Ilon, James A. MacKinnon, Mines and Resources Minister, as he greets six-year-old Frances Me oniglc, one of 40 immigrants to arrive at Montreal Air- port on the initial North Star flight under the Canadian Gov- ernment Air Charter plan. Frances seemed very happy to be in Canada. She continued aboard the TCA North Star to Toronto where she will live with her grandparents. Other passengers were delightd to be here, too, and for many it meant a happy reunion with relatives and friends. All were intrigued by the scu,,et tunics of the "Mounties". _ ▪ H MST 1 Lifoult q aumht t, "DEAR ANNE HIRST: Why are you so against young marriages? I married when 1 was 16, and have been very hap- pily married for 2.; years. I have a daughter and a son, both grown, and now a wonderful grandchild. "True, we had our ups- and downs, but seemed to come out on top of all these situations. 1 believe today we are happier than ever before. "i realize that 25 years ago a girl was much more matured at 16 than today, but there are still plenty of then: ready for mar- riage. I know of so many women who married young and are still happy, as against a few who wait- ed longer and are now divorced' or separated. From my experience, it scents the more experience a girl has before marriage the more in- dependent she becomes, and the harder it is for her to adjust her- self to circumstances. "What's Your Answer?" "TODAY AT 42, I ate still young enough for my husband and my children to he proud of me. And isn't that the goal of every wo- man—to be young with her family? So many friends have told me how YOU card YOU Arw S. Arnott. Dear Mr. Arnott: I receive your paper regttlarly from Canadian re- latives. Please send an analy- sis of my hand- writing. I ant pleased to hear from you away down in California a 11 d trust you will find the follow - Mg analysis in- teresting and instructive. Those long strokes to the letter 'y" which extend below the next writing line are indicative of a nature which enjoys physical activ- ity. This feature shows that you prefer pursuits and interests which give you scope for movement. All cultural activities interest you, especially literary subjects. There is definite appeal in pursuits 'per- taining to nobility of thought and higher ideals, partly shown by the formation of the small letter "e". The tight knot tied In the letter "P' and the heavy swing back on the final letter "y" which crosses the word "fairly" indicates a deter- mined nature, one which would com- plete a task once it had been started, regardless of difficulties. Loyalty, itidependence, and ag- gressiveness are clearly shown as part of the writer's character. :Ill p,i,' trl,drut n Mori' ranlplele 0.—tab. plen.te anal Soll addressed, ,tamped envelope 1„ eller .5. /tweet!, 123, Si!,1.Skeet, New Toronto 14. they envy met So I, for one, am happy and thankful that I was fortunate enough to find the right one so young, "1 will he watching for your re- action.

One of the many "rain -malars", amateur and professional, scattered throughout the world is Donald Johnston of Regina, Sask. But he's different from most of the others be- cause he claims his "utiverscope" will not only produce rain. If neces- sary he can put it into reverse, and prevent a rainfall which might be un- welcome. Wide-c)•crl patio ; witnessed the stinting proof of huis large Oahu— he threw the universcope into reverse to cheek a cloudy threat of raining nut a Royal Canadian Afounted Police band concert. It didn't rain. Coincidences—i( coincidences they are—have been startling in latest tests of the instrument. Seven out of eight times on which Johnston Inas used his electromag- netic device on the Nat's bulging cumulus clouds, it has rained. Whoa he refrained it didn't. The concert over, he went back -to worst again and, "prr:t'," it rained later. ' . ND Y SCHOOL SON Ity Rev. 11. Ilan, lay Wart en Naomi, Wonsan Of Faith Ruth 1:10-13; 2:20; 444-171 Golden Text:—Thy by people shall be my people, and thy Gni sty God.— Ruth 1:111. The history of the period of the Judges in Israel is one of repeated" backsliding followed by oppression from neighbouring peoples. Then the people in their sorry plight would call on God and He would raise up a deliverer who would! lead Israel to .victory and become their judge. After a time they would forget God's goodness and again revert to the sins of their neigh- bours, The story of Ruth is a most de- lightful episode. But its to -day's lesson our attention- is focussed on Ruth's mother -in -late, Naomi. She with her two sons had left Bethle- hem -Judah in a time of famine and gone to the land of Moab. The sons married two young woman of Moab, Orpah and Ruth. After ten years the men died and Naomi de- cided to return to her home country. Ruth insisted on accompanying her, saying: "Tntreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: tor whither thou goeat- 1. will go: and where fhuu todgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." Naomi arrived home disappointed. To her friends she said, "Call me not Naomi (pleasant), call me Mara (bitter): for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me". But the goodness of God soon became manifest. Rutin, gleaning in the fields of Boaz, a kinsman of Naomi, beanie Itis wife. A child was born whose grandson was the illustrious King David. Jesus,too. was a des- cendant of this young woman from Moab. Naonti's complaint was gone and as grandmother she became nurse to- the child. The love which Ruth bore her mother-inelaw was appar- ent to the neighbours and is an ex- ample for ua to -day. Advance Notes From the "Ex."
