CHAPTER XXXVIII \Vh..t you think don't make a dura bit of difference to rte, Bar- tle. This isn't the first time you've been making wild accusations eith- er. You busted in here accusing cattlemen of doing the things that happened at the Chapman and Ran - some farms, Now you're throwing in with everybody who thinks that El Caballero Rojo -is somehow—" "Working for beefinen, yes!" fumed. Bartle. "And they're set to tr ckle the Pringle farm next, and here you sit and—" "Can't you see you're -not talk- ing sense, Bartle?" Lande blasted. "If bcefinen meant to land on the Pringle place, why in all tarnation would they warn you about it, knowing you've got such a rep for taking sides with the tobacco men?" * * * "I don't know," snapped Bartle. "But there it is. They did. I'm letting the law handle the riddles — if they can't handle anything else." "What woc:d you do if you were wearing this badge right now? Lande asked bleakly. "I'd get out to the Pringle place plumb pronto! This warning carne from somebody who knows the plans of somebody else—that's sure. This i a good chance to learn just who has been raising all the ruc- tions in the valley, because sooner or later whoever it is will sure attack the Pringle place." "L tile;•s," Lande drawled dryly, "this warning is only to draw ace to the Pringle place while the devil and all is being raised sotnewheres else," 4789 She's the image of you in her petticoat -whirl dress!

It was my duty to give you thispaper and tell you what I saw..:I; can't do anything more about it. Good night." Ile stamped out angrily, but in- wardly was elated. Lande would get men together all right. They would ride t' the valley. "Lande'Il post men when he gets to the fire at the, Pringle place," he mused, "And since El Caballero Rojo will probably come there too. And he'll find himself under the guns of the lana" As well as his plans seemed to be working, however, now that he had successfully set them in motion, Bar- tle was uneasy when he got back to the bank, prepared to spend the night there. For he knew that until he looked upon, El Caballero Rojo's dead body he would not feel safe egain• * * * When he did know the outlaw s dead, then he count continue operations. IIe would bring set- tlers in -at top prices; drive them ..ut at bottom prices; hide behind a curtain of wrath, 'and keep sus- picion pointing at cattlemen. "1t can't fail," he thought. "That outlaw now is the only stumbling block. But now everybody, is help- ing me to get rid of him, Clark Weber is hunting him. Lande will have men watching for hint. Has - k 11has sworn he will drill hint on sight. And I'll see to it myself that every tobacco farmer in the valley is posted to watch for hint. He can't escape for long." • He sat down at his desk and be- gan to thumb the pages of his ledger. "Let's see," he mumbled, "Pringle owes me a thousand dollars, due next Tuesday. Ile can't sell tobac- co ashes. he'll be here tomorrow t, plead for time. I'll cry on his shoulder and tell him how sorry I am, but that I must have the money. I'll give hint sixty days. Handled right, I ought to convince hint it's best for him- to sell out instead of going deeper into debt for a new shed while he raises another crop. The thing to do—" * * * He reached for a small file box. It contained the names and ad- dresses of people all over the court- try who were interested in buying farms in the West, Bartle wrote letters to several of them. His writ- ing completed, he got up and stood by the window. Then, in the dimly lighted street, he saw something that narrowed. his eyes and tightened his mouth. Chris Prieglel The old tobacco farmer was, stopping men, speak- ing to them briefly. Then the far- mer cut diagonally across the street, heading straight for the bank. -Bartle opened the door to his knock. But when the old man en- tered he looked more angry then dejected. "You haven't seen Sheriff Lande around anywhere, have you, Mr. Bartle?" he blurted. "I've been hunting hitu all over town, 1,tnt nobody knows anything about him," * * * Bartle was unpleasantly surpris- ed. "He -- he's not out at your farm?" 'A in't seen hint or any of his men," he snapped. "And a fire out to the farm, too." "Did the fire do much dainage?" Bartle asked. - - "No. It didn't. We caught it in time," He did not see the banker's blank expression as he turned. "\Veil, guess I'll get on and try again to locate that. gallivanting sheriff." "kande surely must be at your place by now," Bartle said hurried- ly. "I'll ride 'home with you and talk turkey to hint. I'tn going to take action more titan ever from now on t0 prntrrt you men I brought out here."

LANN€ HIRST� Couple Resent Family's Attitude "I' 18 years old, Anne Hirst, and very much in love with a• boy. I have my engagement ring. B u t I'm heartbroken. My parents and rela- tive are forever calling it 'puppy love,' or criticis- ing my boy friend, or telling the I don't know my own mind yet. I'm so discouraged I don't know what to dol" How many of us old folk look back on just such experience at just the same ag 1 From the night that ring was slipped on our finger, we were living in the -clouds. We were sure we knew now the fate for which we were designed. Our sweetheart was a veritable Prince Channing, withoat fault. And we adored et'erythin6 about hint, from the way he dominated all the did and thought to the way he parted his hair. Everything was as we had always dream.d Until we found the older people looking down their noses at us teasing us without mercy, and pick- ing our One and Only to pieces, FACE THE MUSIC The engagement period would be a far happier one if we could be let alone in its dreamt -world. Left alone to find out whether our love was the real thing or a passing delusion. But no, we must be constantly on alio defensive. And we are hurt, and embarrassed, and resentful against all those grown-ups who think they know so .much. Why not show them how wrong they arc? EXERCISE PATIENCE * They predict that you two will * never get along. You're too much * alike or too different or too- * something else. * They say this lad will never * take proper care of you. Look * how 1.4 squanders his money! * Well, as time passes you can * than, e all this. You two will be * so con:iderate of each other that * there won't be the usual quarrels * for your fancily to smile at. You * viii not forget the pretty emir- * tesies you practice now, and you * will both learn patience, and tot- * erance of each other's opinions. * You will agree there is some- * thing to their criticism of spend- * ing. You'll hunt up. a cheaper * movie, and you'll have the crowd * in more often to dance to the * radio, and show tlment you're say- * ing his money for him, * You will never let them know * how inpatient you are for the * day you can marry. You wilt keep * faith in your man, and let them * ,re how little other boys mean to * you how. * You will take their teasing in * our stride. And you can, if you * hold on to your sense of humor. * By your increasingly. mature ap- * .road' to marriage, you can show * your fancily how much older you, * are than your years, and that you * are not playing with love, but * accept all the responsibilities it * brings with it. To "Brokenhearted": Don't be discouraged. Most of us have been through this, too. Don't resent your family's attitude. They think they are being helpful. Laugh at their fears, and prove by your sensible behavior how real is this love you feel , .. Start studying homemak- ing, too, and seriously. That will raise their eyebrows! To "R. L. B.": Entertain your friends wherever your parents enter- tain theirs. It is the spirit of the home that ' makes one welcome there not its size, nor its furnishings. Don't let other people's do; :As spoil your engagencett. Conduct yourself with dignity, and compel their respect.

Golden Text So built we the' wall; for the people had a mind to work Nehemiah 4: 6. Just as the rebuilders of the Temple of Jerusalem had been har- assed and thwarted in their efforts to complete theswork on the House of God, the labo,- of Nehemiah and his workers .to rebuild the 'city's ruined walls were opposed and their task ridiculed. Hostility crystalized into'conspir-- acy and the enemies of the Jews banded together to fight against Jerusalem and to hinder the build- it.g of the fortifications. Nehemiah, learning of their dans, continued in prayer to God for strength, and set a watch against his enemies day and night. * s, * Nehemiah ' was confronted with grea" danger, and there was a p)s- sibility that he would fail in his mission though backed by the authority of the king and the power of Persia. With conspiring hes round about and with a number of weakened, discouraged workers 'in. hisranks, Nehemiah was mtah n s called •span to show real leadership and tin structive statesmanship. * ,' * Nehemiah encouraged Itis fol. lowers; he planned for - them: he inflamed their patriotism; he pro vided for their safety; he inspired them onward to the best they could do. He himself stood at the fire• fron capable, tireless, trusted, ^ff^rr- tive. The able-bodied men stood at' their tasks, every builder ready tt., lay down the trowel and take up the sword at a moment'e warn'eg There were also those who held spears "front the rising of the morn- ing till 0' :at. appeared". The servants lodged within the city as gua• 's by night and laborers dur- ing the day. So the work advanced. The mockers and conspirators in the presence of such zeal and mili- tary preparation dared not attack. * * At last the work was finished,, and the fear within the wails van - ?shed as mists before the morning sun. The success of Nehemiah's pro- ject was thus a testimony to his heathen enemies that he was a serv- ant of God. Since his work was wrought of. God, all their opposi- tion failed.
