CHAPTER XXX "No. But worse may conte, senor. Tien strain at the leash, Cattlemen .say no more settlers shall enter the north part of Deep \Vater Valley. One man says they shalt" "This one man," Valdez said musingly. "\Vho is he? Did you hear his name?" "Si, senor. His name is Russ -Bartle, 1 have hear, and he is a banker here in the town of Gold Creek. More than that, most of the land in tl:e 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 remin'lh me, senor, of the Senor Raymond Garvin who did the same thing in my awn Paisatto 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 thein away." * "Theu what is his reason for bringing them in and making all the trouble?" Juanita shook her head discon- solately. "I do not know, senor. Un- less it is to show that he can do Al hat In ,.leases with what he owns, mid Dna; eant 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." - "1Vith selfishness on this Bartle's part to keep it flowing," Valdez 1949 SIZES 10-16 Parents glow with pride if you liew this yourself!

While he and Juanita pretended to be engrossed in their card game, both of them listened attentively to what tate new arrivals had to say. As might have been expect- ed, the conversation touched upon the unsuccessful attempt to run down El Caballero Rojo, who had so unexpectedly 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," he whispered. "Soon after dusk 111 go see the redheaded young man who was wearing my brand of clothes. Be there." Afichael Valdez strolled over to the bar after Juanita left, with much flashing of white teeth at her pleasure in having met him, and in their card game. He ordered a drink. As he stood there with it in his hand he kept his curs open. The main thing he 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 man whom he desperately wanted to find. But he had no way of knowing who that man was. He had already accounted for two of the men who had set Itis feet in tate vengeance trail, but there were at least two others of whom he )mews Train Carter was one of them, if he should be going by itis 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 Itis hand halfway to l,is 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 Valdes 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. Ile leaned on the bar -rail, rested an elbow upon the mahogany, then picked up his filled glass and tossed down his drink, With an uncon- scious gesture that seemed instinc- tive he hunched up the big forty- five that sagged from one hip and swung the holster around to the front, a + '5 Michael Valdez put down his own glass, wiped his tnouth with the 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 man deliber- ately set for trouble. Men recognized that, too. There was an 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 room un- til he was at the end of the bar,. Carter was facing him, watching I him suspiciously, not knowing what it was all about, but his hand was hovering over the walnut butt of his pistol. Then coldly, calmly, Valdez spoke, (To Be Continued) This Is The Way — No teen-agers are employed by Mrs. Jack Books, who has started a baby-sitter service in Sault Ste. Marie.

Arnott An interesting letter comes to me from one of our Ontario read- ers and she writes in part: I never miss reading your interesting, art- icles on handwriting analysis and:L look forward to -them each week with much interest, Although I am 69 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 my faults and begin to correct them. In reply to your request 1 may say that you are to be conunended 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. As you point out in your letter that a little in- sight into your character might have brought different results dur- ing your life, I think you are re- ferring to temper, the strongest of all 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 stem of the letter "t". Fortunately the length of the bar is short, indi- cating that the temper is short lived. You 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. 5' .i+ 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 "fish hook" and this sign is con- clusive evidence of your desire to hold on to ideals and purposes. It is indicative of a characteristic that makes 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. 444/P myYstr2.60‘./ Our readers may receive an in•.• terestittg and instructive personal analysis .of their .haudtoriting by sending ao example of writing with 35 cents and a stautped,.setf-addrer. sed envelops to Bo.e B, room 421, 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Is it correct for people to wear deep ntoutating for a child? A. It is not customary to do this.

Soak a blotter in water, then place it over the stamp and hold for a minute. Q. How eau I prevent rubber boots from cracking A.

Golden Text Then: said Jesus '6to them egaiit, "peace be unto you; as my Father has sett me, even so send S you." — John 20: 21, Philip was one of the seven men ctosen to look after the daily mini' stration of the people of God. But he did not' stop with doing this work. He went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto then'. A notable work was done 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 certainly different from preaching in the city of Sam- aria. But God never errs. Here was an Ethiopian of great authority returning from worship at Jerusalem. As he sat in his cltr-riot he was reading the Scrip- tures. Though we travel much more comfortably today by plane, -train and 'bus, it is not often that the Bible is being read. Magazines and bookshave a decided priority 'over the. best Book. Philip explain- ed the Scripture and preached Jesus to the eunuch. He believed and was baptized in token of his faith to Jesus Christ as hit Saviour. The Rpirit of the Lordcaught away Philj' and the euiiuclt went on his, way rejoicing. Jesus said, "As my Father—hath sent me, even so send I you". It is the responsibility of evrry Christ- ian to bear personal witness of Jesus Christ. The individual wit- ness can be very effective. Jesus spoke personally to Nicodemus, the woman at the well, Zachaeus and others. • Almost 25 per cent of Denmark's population is occupied in agricul- ture. Easier That.

"Ratio," replied Jenkins, "is pre - portion." "But whatis. proportion?" "Why, sir, proportion is ratio." "Well, what are ratio and pro- portion?"
