SALADI� SLA NY J A C 1 8 O N.'C O L E Synopsis CHAPTER XXXIV: Weber finds Valdez at Aldman's, He captures Juanita and bolds her to lure Valdez into a trap. Chapter XXXV 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 be was in error. "El Caballero Rojo?" she, repeat- ed plaintively. "Senor makes the mistake. 1 know no such person." "Itunuriph!" "You can't come that kind of talk over me! You're his lookout man, and 1 know it!" Juanita laughed. "But, senor," she protested, "1 know of that outlaw - as does everyone from here to the border. He rides alone, that one. He would not suffer me to lick his boots, senor. Untie me. Let us call this big mistake finished." Weber brought her mount over be- side her. "The big mistake," he said tightly, "will be finished when El Caballero Rojo is dead." s "You are wrong, senor!" pleaded Juanita. "13y my mother's honor I swear-" "You lie, curse you1" Clark Web- er snarled. He stood over her, a tense finger on the trigger of the gun that was trained on Juanita's forehead. "You were at the Aldtnan house the other night. Then he cane here to night, and you were standing guard for him. If you lie again, I'll kill you," To Juanita de Cuevas death was insignificant compared with the safety of Michael Valdez. Yet she must live, at least long enough to warn Valdez of what this man before her knew -or guessed. "Si," she murmured. "You speak true. I am the servant of El Cab- allero Rojo. It is greater honor than even my father dreamed for me." 4682 tt 2,4 Send for Pattern 4682, the won- der -dress with only THREE main pattern parts!

ISSUE 1b - 1948 With a harsh laugh Weber picked up his prisoner, dumped her across the saddle of her mount, climbed aboard himself and rode, careless now, in his knowledge that he Was dealing only with a "sung boy. Shortly Juanita noticed that her captor was dropping things as they rode on -and instantly the reason for that was plainI El Caballero Rojo could not help seeing -and fol- low. A stud from the saddle -skirt of her mount, her handkerchief. A hare and hounds' trail to death 1 When at last they reached a small group of buildings of which a farm- house and barn stood out in the dark- ness as the largest, Clark Weber shifted his prisoner to his shoulder and groped with her up a flight of creaking steps. That they were in the barn was plain from the mixed odors of tobacco and horses. * * * Juanita was flung upon the dusty floor of the hay loft. Then Weber lit a lantern, picked her up and roped her to a beam that braced the roof. A puff of Clark Weber's breath against the lantern plunged the lit- tered place into darkness. "You see?" he gloated. "All; I have to do now is wait in -the dark. Or maybe until dawn -when our trail can be seen." "Senor," Juanita said cholcily, "you are smart -and very lucky. But you flirt with death and do not know it. You think El Caballero Rojo so big a fool that he walks into your trap? No. He come. You are sure of that. So am I. But he goes, too, I warn you. Perhaps, when he is gone, you will no longer be here, either." Clark Weber started down the stairs. "You bet he goes!" he repeated, and laughed raucously. "Feet first to Boot Hill. You needn't waste your breath trying to scare me." His feet creaked on the planks. Juanita could hear him moving down below. Then, with a slam of the barn door, she was alone. Instantly she began to tug and jerk and saw at the bends, but all her struggles brought were bleedng wrists and tired, wrenched muscles, * * * "Madre de Dios!" she preyed. "Help mei Help Michael!" Outside the barn, Clark Weber's enthusiasm kept him comfortable for an hour. Then, with the thermom- eter dropping and the rain which had begun shortly after he had ar- rived here with his prisoner now turning to sleet, he shivered and looked with envy at the house. "If I could only keep watch from inside the house," he mumbled "But-" Suddenly he started. What a fool he had been) If there was a light near the north window, the kitchen window, it would dispel the gloomy dark as far as this barn door. He could wait inside, crouched near the window. There would be no danger of missing his quarry, for the man would have to go into this door, since there was but one entrance to the loft where the prisoner was wait- ing. He hurried into the house, avoiding Ellen and Chet Maxon, who were seated by the glowing fire in the living room. In the kitchen, he had scarcely taken off his hat when El- len stood in the doorway. * * * "Where have you been all day, Clark?" she queried. "Did you . . Why, you're soaked!" Then she had her first full glimpse of his face, and it frightened her, "What's wrong?" she demanded. "Nothing," he said shortly. She studied him. "You act like a cat that's just eaten the canary," she observed. "What's sopleasant?" Her brother, who had ome to the door and stood beside her, grinned. "Maybe he's found a gold mine," Chet said, and laughed. Weber wanted to boast about what he actu- ally had found, but could not. He might have to share his gains if he did. So all he said, enigmatically was:.. "I've been out on some business that turned ot$ pretty well," (To Be Continued) Crippled Opera Star Gets Floral Tribute from "Timmy"—Still crippled by polio, Marjorie Lawrence, fatuous Metropolitan Opera Star came to Toronto at her own expense to assist in the Campaign for Ontario's 'Crippled Children, the program being broadast over 35 radio stations. While last year Miss Lawrence was forced to sing from a wheelchair, this time she stood sup- ported by a special movable stand. Here she is seen accepting a boquet from "Timmy", the crippled nine-year-old who was the symbol of this year's appeal. [ANNf 141 ST Stepfather Unfair To Wife's Sons WE HEAR a great deal about stepmothers being unfair to the children of the men they marry. But every now and then a let- ter comes to me from a widow who has mar- ried again, and who finds her husband unjust and even cruel to her young sons. It is a predicament indeed, and for everyone concerned The man undoubtedly promised to raise the boys as his own, and probably in- tended to show no difference be- tween them and the children he and his wife have later. But some- times it doesn't work out that way. He is, too often, critical of his stepsons. Though their mother raises them carefully, he calls it indulgence. He thinks they need a man's discipline, and proceeds to apply it. She feels he is unneees- sarily strict. And the household is divided. * The husband and wife love Sunday School Lesson By Rev R. Barclay Warren God's Message To A People In Exile. Eca1tie118; 1-4: 34; 11-16: 36' 15-28 Golden Text: "A new heart also I will give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36-26. Just as too In . of us do tuday, it was common for the people of Israel to blame their troubles on those who had gone before them, and think they were being punished for their forefather's sins, not for their own. "The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge" was the way one Biblical writer put it. This is a charact..ristic of human nature, "If the statesmen at the close of the first great war had only been wiser," we say; and things of that kind. But we lake errors too; for while we possess inherited tenden- cies, developed by environment, we cannot blame our sins on either heredity or environment, for we have wills of our own. We are not helpless victims of what has gone before. We are tree moral agents. If we continue in sin we are in d:.nger of eternal death. "The soul tl.:t sinneth, it shall die" was Eze- kiel's warning. $o Ezekiel sought to turn the exiles from the belief that they suffered only from the sins of their fathers, urging them to self-exam- ination. But he also brought it gracious message of comfort -"The Lord is a shepherd who will gather His sheep that have been scattered," together with the promise "I will seekthatwas iandbring whick estb n g " hack again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken and strengthen that whichwas as si k." There is also a promise of spiri- tual cleansing -"Ye shall be clean from all your filthiness Ye shall be my people and I will be your God." Ezekiel's message, thor,h direc- ted to the people of Israel, is one for us today as well -a message of warning, but also one of hope. * each other. They have no other * difficulties than those raised by * the presence of these two sons. * It would seem that two intelli- * gent affectionate people could * come to some compromise, if * each allows for the emotions * which stray the other, * Perhaps if a crisis arrives, and * the wife feels she must take her * sons and leave, her husband will * realize he must employ extra- * ordinary self-control and turn * over, the whole training of the * boys to their mother. If he * realizes that otherwise he must • * dose her, he will give in. To * make it easier for himself, he * might remember that these boys * have certain admirable qualities * which he can appreciate and en- * courage, and he can win their * loyalty by some show of affection. TO E.E."-lf you make your husband understand that either he and your boys get along better or you cannot stay with him, i think he will make a greater effort. It would be tragic if you had to leave. Try to appeal to his sense of jus- tice, as well as his affection for you, and the need to hold the hone together for the sake of the other children as well. (Ask your husband if he'd like to write me, how he feels about the boys.) When a mother's heart is torn between her children and her husband, she has a grave choice to make. Perhaps Anne Hirst can help. Write her at Box A, Room 421, 73 Adelaide Street West, Toronto. • Your Handwriting and YouS Alex S, Arnott One Unassuming, Other Aggresswe Dc. Mr. Arnott::: Thank ,you for the analysis of niy handwriting which described my personality to the letter. I will admit that every trait of char :er'you have listed is true. I would like you now to give me the analyses of two friends whose handwriting I have enclosed. * * * The firs' writer, showing the question mark in the script, has a very emotional natdre and responds readily to sympathy and aff:ction. This emotional feelln,, is not long. lasting for tl a are signs of readi- ness to forget quickly, revc..ling t' t the writer is willing to forgive and forget and overh.-k the faults of others. The wri: has a modest unassuming nature, generous and broadminded. Interest in the welfare and educe ti,.tl of children is definitely shown, indicating ability tt, understand them and to get the m 1st out of 1—r personalities. This young lady shows a great deal of friendlinesstowards others but has an exclusive nature, that is, she chooses friends withgreat care, showing a preference for a .few associates rather than a large circle of friends. * * * The second example of writing, with the word "because" written, in the script, does not show as deep affection as that of the first writer for there is more balance to the emotions. The writer takes a practi- cal view of things and is not likely to be swayed by sentiment. The emotions are deep and she does not forget the rights and wrongs of others readily but will hold her feelings long after she should have forgotten about them. There is extravagance in the writing, indicating disregard for small and petty things. She is likely to enjoy the best and not to count the cost. The writer has rather an aggressive nature and goes after the things she wants in life. There is a tendency to plan for the future, to reach out to gain, to possess and to attain her ambition. The writer shows a great deal of changeability in her wilting and has difficulty in making definite deci- sions. She is inclined to be impul- sive, often regretting this impulsive- ness when there is time for reflec- tion. There is sensitiveness in the script with a show for independence and self reliance. Talkativeness is also indicated with inclinations to be frank in all that she says, i p Anyone wishing a more complete ' analysis please send self-addressed stamped envelope to Box B, room 421, 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto.
