"But otherwise we —" began the cattleman. The rancher brindled like a cat with its back up and tail fluffed out. "You've got a nerve telling me what we can't do without bucking the law!" he roared. "You're a shin- ing example of a law-abiding—" "No matter what I ami" Valdez sn..pped curtly, "I'm asking you to hold your men in check for forty - hours. Sabe?" • "And suppose none of them feels like taking orders from an outlaw?". Haskell growled. * P * "Then you can all face the farmer's guns! Somebody tried to burn out a farmer named Pringle a few hours back, And if things had gone the ty they started, after that, at a farmer's meeting tonight, your bulid- ings might have been ash piles by now.• And if you had tried to stop t' ein, you mightn't be able to sit here talking now." "I've got eight punchers in the bunkhouse!" blustered Haskell. "They—" "Then there would have been nine dead men. Thirty or more settlers were ready to ride down here and burn you out, Haskell." Haskell stared. "You mean you stopped 'em?" Valdez shrugged. "I'm giving you orders now. They're for your good. For forty-eight hours you and all cattlemen keep out of the farmers' valley Sabe?

The old rancher was amazed and alarmed. "Tier Callan's daughter!" He thrust his head out of the window. "Alice! Up here!" A dark-haired girl moved into the oblong of light on the ground. "Youlve got to cone, Mr. Has- kell!" she cried "Dad's trying to p a crowd from riding to the valley. Bartle's brought in more settlers, and there's barbed wire on wagons." "Get home and tell your dad I'm coning pronto!" * * * Haskell spun from the window, snatched a boot and jammed in his foot as there carie the sound of the girl's horse racing away. "You can stop those hot-headed fools if you try hard enough," Val - de said tightly. "You've got to." "Maybe I can. If not—" "I will." Valdez slid over the window sill. "There's a forty-eieht- hour truce on. I told you that." "Not on you. hombre!" Haskell snapped. "Looks like you're dead set against us cattlemen. That mak( you fair game wherever you're niet up with." Valdez vaulted lightly through the window into the blackness. He was out of sight when Ilaskell pounded down the stairs and out to the corral . Pete Haskell raced to Tim Cat- lan's spread in a lather. There he heard the sorest news he had heard since the first tobacco farrier had thrown up a long fence in the south end of Deep Vlrater Valley. * * * "The amen have already gone, Mr. Haskell," the cook told him. "They all ain't more'n three-four miles away by now." Ilaskell raced on. He must stop thcinl caught up with them at Chin- noc Pass, the main entrance to Deep "..'ater Valley. He rods with gun in hand, grim determination in his steel -blue eyes. "I'm not arguing," he told then?. "But for the last time I'm telling you that the man who rides this way and gets by this pinto of mine does so after he drills me. "I'll ride with you to town to Bartle's office," he offered, "provid- ing you let me speak to him alone —and let me get away before one of you draws a gun on him. I don't want even a buzzard's blood on my hands or conscience. Sabe?" The men agreed to follow the level-headed Haskell. They turned their horses' heads toward Gold Creek. Ellen Maxon lay shivering with dread as the man she had once thought she loved came storming up the stairs and to the door of her bedroom. Ile did not even knock. The knob was twisted, and Clark Weber stamped into the room and over to her bedside. She could hear his breath coming in fast, bitter snatches. "Have you 'been in the barn loft?" demanded Weber. I-Ier denial died at sight of what lay in the palm of his outhrust hand. It was a hairpin, one of the rubber kind she used. He stooped, grabbed up one of her shoes from where it lay beside the bed and spat out a curse as he dis- covered the sole was caked with moist mud. "Yes!" Ellen flung at him de- fiiantly. "I have been in the barn loft. I set that poor little Mexican peon free! And you set me free when you tried to do such a con- teinptible thing as to kidnap him to try to get gold from his father(' You'll find your ring on the dresser." Rage shook him, and his eyes blazed fire. "You little empty- headed—" (To Be Continued) I New Canadians -Three hundred immigrants to Ontario from Holland arrived in Toronto re- cently.

"How Do 1 Know He Loves Me?" "I've been going with a boy for two years," writes a young fiancee. "I love hint more than life, and he says he feels the same way about me. Yet so many of my married friends said before they married. 'I know nothing will happen to Tom and me'!" "IIow car they be so sure? Must we just take the boy's word for it? I'ni afraid to be too sure, for fear of getting hurt." And many a girl, in the weeks before her wedding, feels the same fear. t c cann - ?•evil..; the future. We never can be sure that "nothing will happen" between ourselves and the one we love. A safer thought is: "If anything does happen to us, I know we'll come through all right."

They suggest that such a room can be made to look wider and shorter by painting the two end walls a darkercolorthan the long side walls! By the same token, square rooms can be given the illusion of extra length by paint- ing the side walls in a lighter shade of the same color as is used on the end walls. Advance Notes Frorn- the "Ex."' In five days recently, Mrs, Kate Aitken, women's director of the Canadian National Exhibi- tion, flew the Atlantic twice and visited Berlin, Paris and Lon- don. She had Exhibition business to do, as you might guess! It _was, nothing short of arranging to bring Princess Elizabeth's beautiful wedding dress to this year's C.N.E., for one and all to see. Elwood Hughes, general manager of the "Ex.," had made the preliminary. arrangements on his trip overseas. While in Lon- don, Mrs, Aitken also went to tea at Buckingham Palace, the guest of the. King and Queen. If you haven't yet got your C.N.B. prize list, there's no time like now to sit down and write for it. Just send along your name to Mrs, Kate Aitken, Women's Director, C.N';., Toronto. Your Handwriting and You$y Alex. S. Arnott Roy Rogers' Handwriting Our readers should be especi- ally interested in this week's analy- sis as it is that of the handwriting of Roy Rogers, king of the cow- boys and famous motion picture star. If you have followed Roy's pic- tore exploits you willknow that they feature especially his gallant- ry fn protecting the weak and un- fortunate. His script is written with light, fine lines, a strong in- dication t,f a spiritual nature which tends toward idealism and nobility of thought. Independence is shown in the letter "d", revealing Roy's desire to do things according to his own inclinations rather than those of other people -typical of the pioneering spirit. Extra large loops in his capital letters are also typical of the adventurous type of person, always willing to take bold steps: The smallness of the writing gives an appearance of concentration — a sign of power to focus attention on the more important issues. In some of the other letters, having decided loops with tight knots to close them, we see tenacity that will stick to a problem until it has been solved. On the whole Roy's writing is a good illustration of sincerity of purpose, really remarkable energy and a high-spirited personality. Sunduy School Lesson By Rev. R. Barclay Warren. Danlel Stands. By His Convictions.. Daniel 1:8-20. Golden Text:— But Daniel purpos- ed in his heart that 1r would not de- file himself with the portion of the king's meat,, nor with the wine which he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not de -- file himself. - Dank' 1:8. Daniel has always been "a boy's hero". As a lad -he was taken a cap- tive in Jerusalem end l led off to Babylon, the capital city of a pagan empire. He was to b'' fed with the portion of the king's meat and with the wine which he drank as part of his preparation to appear before the, king. In such circumstances it would have been 'easy to ignore the teachings of his youth concerning clean and unclean -ats. But Dan- iel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. Yet he was not offensive about it and court- eously -requested that he and his companions be tester for ten' 'aye on a diet which would not be in conflict with his convictions: God blessed then physically, intellect- ually and spiritually for this noble stand. Whenthey appeared before the king, he found that in all mat- ters of wisdom and understanding they were ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers in his realm. King Nebuchadnezzar was am- azed—and convinced. For the bal- ance of their school days Daniel and his companic • were permitted to continue their sir•"mle diet. With the courage of convictions Dan- iel dared to "sta alone" and, even in the face of possible danger to himself, to do what ,he had been brought up to regard as right and proper. The pledge of abstinence from all that defiles was the safe course for those young visitor to Babylon, magnificent capital of the greatest empire then upon t' globe. There is no wiser course for those, young and old, living in the present era, more than two thous 'td years ater.
