Bartle tells him he will forget the balance of the mortgage on his property for the capture of the sup- posed bandit, C IAPTER XXXIV He dismounted, led his horse be- hind a shaft of rock and began to inch toward the house. Fear inspired him to move with such super -caution that it seemed hours before he reached the house and looked through a window into a dark room. The door to the adjoin- ing room was open—and framed in the rectangle of light stood El Caballero Rojol Clark Weber crouched spell- bound. Then both his hands sag- ged to the cold butts of his Colts and he began to lift the heavy wea- pons. As suddenly he let them drop, as a spasm of terror sped along his tingling nerves. Behind him sounded the soft pad of cautious feet. The strange Mexican! Panic clutched Weber's throat, Was this Mexican by any chance in cahoots with -1 Caballero Rojo? 5, * * The Mexican's footsteps were moving closer and closer. Chills did a hornpipe down Weber's spine. He did not even dare fire toward those creeping footsteps, for he was recalling, only too well, how El Caballero Rojo could move like pronged lightning and shoot straighter than a warrior's arrow. In the next split second Clark Weber decided where his one chance to sidestep his grave lay. He tried to run silently, but broke into reckles flight when he heard an angry sound behind him. Panting, he reached his horse and flung himself into saddle. 4950 SIZES 10-16 _rake Pattern 4950 your first pro- ject this term! Check it in cotton for , crispy school =and -date dress.

ISSTJE 14 — 1948 With his slight lead, fast horse, and the inky night, if he could hold out another milel Td a=spot he had noticed when on patrol! And he did. There he flung him- self from saddle. Even as he rolled in dust and stones he dragged out both Colts, then *limed up the side of a rock where centuries of storm and erosion had carved many toe- holds, He .heard the beat of his own horse's hoofs as it ran on, riderless. "If I can get hint here," Weber panted "I can get El Caballero Rojo in a spot where I can pick him off as I would a blind crow." * * Clark Weber did not have long to crouch on the rock where the trail was narrow. Juanita came, wildly chasing the riderless horse. And the moment she was oppo- site him, Weber leaped as a moun- tain lion leaps on the back of a fat calf. The shock sent both of them to the ground in a tangled mass of arms and legs, Juanita fighting with surprised fury until solid blows with a gull butt set' off the shooting stars before her eyes and dropped her in a -sehs21ess heap. Gasping for breath, Weber work- ed frantically to bind his prison- er's wrists and ankles. The girl in the boy's clothing stirred, strug- gled to rise, but relaxed in the face of a gun. "Why do you do this to me?" she demanded angrily. "I think maybe you can guess," Weber drawled, and laughed tri' umphantly. "I'm going to use you to bait a trap for your friend, E1 Caballero Rojo. His pelt is worth real money:" * * * Juanita trembled with fury. Af- ter all her efforts at secrecy someone at last knew of her con- nection with the scarlet -masked rider! She was thinking swiftly. Some- how she would have to convince him he was in error. "El Caballero Rojo?" she repeat- ed plaintively. "Senor makes the' mistake, I know no such person." "Hummphi" ' "If you're lying, hombre," the sheriff growled, "plenty of skin will be missing from your hide shortly after I get back here." Clark Weber was left alone with his thoughts when the sheriff stalk- ed out, and it was long after day- light before the disgruntled law- man returned, He had not found El Caballero Rojo — he had not much expected he would — and there seemed no advantage in longer keeping his prisoner in the juzgado. * -* * Silently Sheriff. Londe turned Clark Weber loose, and as word- lessly the man made all haste in getting away from the jail, But he did not leave the cow town. All day he stalked it; making every acquain- tance he could until he was cer- tain he had tapped every source of information there—true or fancied —regarding El Caballero Rojo. - Shortly before dusk he ended his quest with a visit to Russ Bartle. When that was over, Weber , was convinced of two things - that the banker -tobacco farmer was a firm believer in law, order and justice; and that he was a most generous man. For Bartle cursed the scar- let -sashed, scarlet - masked rider heartily, and had promised Weber that if he succeeded in capturing E1 Caballero Rojo, the balance due on the Maxon -Weber tract of land in the north end of the valley would be wiped out. Dusk found Weber patrolling be. twecn Don Attero's Cross and the Aldman tobacco faun.

Your Handwriting .and You Alex Sy Arnott - Suggestions; for Choice of Vocation Dear Mr. Arnott: Your first ana- lysis of my ,script is most satis- factory. Now 1 would like a com- plete analysis of my handwriting. Please let me know what your vocational findings are; this part of your work is most interesting. * * * You have an emotional nature. quick to respond to sympathy. and affection and especially to appeals that strike the heart. The emotional d ;pth of your writing indicates these feelings are not a permanent part of your personality and this is evidence of a nature that does not t .Id a grudge or a hate for any length of time; they are short lived and in time forgotten. "Dignity" writers are people who take great pride in personal things, especially conduct. This character- istic makes you a lover of conven- tion and customs and you will not jeopardize your character by taking short cuts that are not strictly ac- cording to rules of accepted stand- ards. Y, wish to be frank with others and wish them to be the same with you. You do not attempt to hide your feelings but show a. marked tendency to be frank in all that you do. Th, means that you are a conversationalist and lover of not"ty of speech. You show signs of have a prac- tical nature, giving you the power to plan for the future and, altboudh it may not be apparent to you, you • do this subconsciously and without effort. You like to work toward a distant,goal and are prepared to make sacrifices to accomplish this. Ability to be successful as an or- ganizer is also indicated. * * * Regarding your vocational tend- encies, you have the desire and - natural ility to be constructive, to gather information in logical order, to draw your conclusions de- li' erately, not spasmodically, and to present your findings in a sim- plified for , for the benefit of others. Since your writing shows a love for children and a sense of responsibility, it is my conclusion that teaching would be an excellent choice of vocation. Other sugges tions in choosing a vocation are nursing and child psychology. These would .appeal to you due to your willingness to accept responsibility and also because of the emotional tendencies- shown in your script, Our readers may receive an in- teresting and instructive personal. analysis .of their .handurrilil:g by sending an craniple of writing with 25 cents and a stamped, self-addres- sod envelope to dos- 2, root» 421, 73 Adelaide St TVVrst, Toronto. Tight Squeeze The young couple had just fin- ished inspecting' the tiny bird- cage apartment. Stepping out of earshot of the agent, they whisp- ered briefly, The wife nodded at last, and the husband turning to the agent, exclaimed resignedly, "Well, I guess we'll take it, a1 - though it is mush too small." "I don't sec why," retorted the real-estate man, "the apartmelnt was planted for two people," "I know," the young husband agreed, "but you see, - wewere hoping to be able to ketpp a gold- fish." Sunday School Lesson By Rev R Barclay Warren A' Paophet Among The Exiles Ezekiel 1: 1-3; 3:11, 17-21; 4:1-3. Golden Text:— Son of man, 1 have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore - hear the wordat my mouth, and give them warning from me. — Ezekiel, 3: 17. The thence of foe lessons for the n quarter is "The Captivity a Return of the Jews". Yt be- • gins with Ezek'el's ministry to the captives and terminates' with Ma- lachi's vision of the coming Mes' siah. Such •tudy is of particular interest ' this time, because in some important respects, history is re- peating itself. The Jews are again returning to Palestine. Even as there was fierce opposition then, so there is now. But nevertheless they are gaining entry. * * Ezekiel, a young priest, was one of the captives -I' d away to Baby- lon. !While in captivity God called him to be a prophet to his people. (1) The heavens were opened, (2) he saw visions of God, (3) the word of tl.e Lord came expressly unto him and (4) the hand of the Lord was upon him: an open heaven,a present God, a distinct revelation and then ability to perform. Ezekiel was in de to sense his heavy re- sponsibility as a watchman of Israel. If he failed to warn the wicked their blood would be required at his hand. 'Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his Ickedne nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." To save his own soul he. must 1" ewise w•lrn the righteous man who -turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity. If the hither- to righteous man does not heed the warning, "he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered.' Ezckitl's methods were unique. re I: y on a t and graphically and objectively depicted the size of Jeru- salem. Thus thelessons were itn- p-essed upon '+e exiles by the eye gate as well as by the ear gate. Prophets have ofte- been uncom ventional, John Wesley preached from his father's tombstone and at daybreak at tl„ pit heads of the coal mines. !Whitefield preached in the fields and Cenral Booth went into the sloths of London heralded by a drum, Missionaries use many novel methods. The all-important thing is that the message be de- livered to the people. ANNE 1411' ST Vow:. FGGtvrrR4 Cid avot Do, You. Fret About Your :,Children? llrliat.
