CHAPTER XLIV: Juanita, riding
alone, is caught by Sheriff Lande,
who is
eh, killed Pringle.
CHAPTER XLV
Juanita was certain of her horse
.-but she never gave a" thought to
the fact that only one rider in ten.
thousand would make the desperate
attempt she contemplated,
"Watch where you're going,
amigo," counseled Sheriff r ande.
"You're darned near Dead Fall,
Arroyo."
Juanita stared straight ahead. "Si,
senor," she said. "My horse is not
afraid. You?"
She rode on, her lips clamped,
Tier heart still, her thoughts only
forMichaelValdez. A word form-
ed silently on her lips.
Then, like a plummet, she was
out of sight.
Sheriff Lande's low curse was
more admiring than angry. He
dropped to the ground, ran forward,
peered over the cliff edge, but saw
nothing. Nevertheless he emptied
his gun at the clanging hoofs on the
rocks.
"Whew!" he mumbled, and mop-
ped the sweat frog his brow. "Welt,
I'm not trying that loco trick. Best
we can do now is try and head 'em
off."
Determined men who are dead set
, on a destination and task, head for
it with one-track minds. So it was
with Clark Weber, Michael Valdez
and Pete Haskell's men. Each
knew where he was going, knew
what he was about to do -and all
were treading the danger trail,
Weber led the grim parade. At
last he traveled down the cowtown's
mud -puddled street with a greedy
grin ofi his face. But it was sud-
denly wiped away, For a window
of the bank showed yellow beneath
a partly drawn shade! Weber
reined up short in the middle of.
the street as he growled out a low
curse.
Lightl Had Bartle left the farm?
Could it be possible that he had
ignored Weber's warning and left,
taking a short cut that would bring
him here to town before Clark
Weber himself? Curse himl •
He left his horse at the hitching
rail. Twice he hammered oft the
downstairs door, then climbed on
the outside stairs leading to the
banker's living quarters and knocked
peremptorily again. But there was
no answer, nor sign of life within.
He moved down the stairs, walked
stealthily around the building, scan-
ning it front and back,
Then he remounted and rode to the
saloon, where he sandwiched the
horse between puncher's gray and
dun animals. Bad business, he
thought, for housebreakers to have
their mounts at the door behind
which they prowl.
He hurried back to the bank,
`Lender hands and flabby muscles
made it hard work to climb up on
a porch roof at the rear of the
bank. Puffing, he reached Bartle's
window, The locked latch annoyed
hint, But the long, thin blade of
his pocket knife fitted between the
sashes and soon be had the window
up.
Ile stepped lightly into the larger
of the two roosts of the living
quarters. No one was there, so
quickly he lowered the shade, then
stood wondering which of the books
on the orderly desk would yield the
most helpful information.
Ile picked up the smallest book.
It was discouraging, The pages
only informed hint that they were
kept by a man who wanted to know
where every penny went. Even
postage stamps were listed. Growl-
ing, Weber flung the book down.
He read parts of : letter plucked
from a thick file. But a man does
not brand himself by keeping copies
of letters offering to sell land which
he owns, Weber's castles in Spain
began to show cracks in their

onal line alms' to the bottom of
the page. "Buckley evidently ,liked
the place. Stayed tell year and

His eyes flamed with hope,
Behind Buckley's name in red
ink -"Deceased." Bought by Russ
Bartle, Price, including improve-
ments, thirteen hundred dollars.
Sold to Steve Ransom. Price fifty-
five hundred. Behind Ransom's
name -"Deceased."
Weber grunted, Itis eyes narrow-
ed. For then he read that Russ
Bartle had again bought that same
farm and behind the transaction
was a net profit of twenty-two hun-
dred dollars.
"And -and we bought that same
place from Bartle for fifty-five hun-
dred," he gritted. "By the eternal,
I see it nowt Bring thein in; drive
them out or kill then, Buy. Sell.
Always at a profit. And-"
He glanced at a dozen pages he•
foie becoming convinced that the
Ransom place -the one he and the
Maxons had bought -was the only
one now with a red crayon question
mark beneath the last entry,
He slumped into a chair at the
desk, picking up books and papers,
scanning them hurriedly, throwing
them aside, until he felt like a dog
with so much food in sight that it
didn't know which to eat first.
He got up wet with perspiration,
books and papers clutched under his
arm, all atremble at fate's by d
smile, his eyes glittering.
"So the Masons thought they
were through with Inc, eh?" he
gloated. "Well, they are. not -for
from now on I'in Bartle's partner.
Until I can get rid of hint the way
he's got rid of people he couldn't'
scare out of Deep Water Valley."
In Weber's eyes blazed the same
lust for power and wealth that had
spurred Bartle on. He turned to-
ward the open window -and in that
moment his visions of the future
melted away like 1arcj on a blister-
ing hot stove, evaporated by a
specter clad in the garments of a
conquistador of fold Mexico.
"I'll take those books and
papers," said the scarlet -masked
terror at the window.
"You-" \Veber's throat closed
ups
"II 1 believe I sec now just w y
I. let you live after our first meet-
ing. But I imagine I taught you
something then. Have I still got
to teach you that I don't ask for
anything twice?"
Weber backed away from the
awesome figure in the scarlet neck-
erchief and sash,
"There's nothing in these books
that will interest :-ou," he growled.
"Mr. Bartle ser` me to fetch them
to-"
"Your farts? Then he's the man
to whom you were talking in the
blacksmith shop." El Caballero
nodded. "You threatened him, You
are hoping to back up that threat
with those books, Anyhow, what
interests you interests me. No more
palaver. Unload."
Weber sidled another foot nearer
the door that opened on the stairs.
The sharp command stung his ears.
He dared not move another inch.

Ezekiel was a prophet to the exiles

safely. The land will be fruitful.
"There .''all be showers of blessing"
But most important of all is the
annnuacement of God's promise of
"my servant David a prince among
them".
This i' one f the Messianic pro-
phecies' finding its fulfillment in
Jesus Christ, a direct descendant
of Dat•id. From such passages as
this Daniel in the lesson, the He-
brews came to think of the coating
Messiah in terms of a great icing.
Tile idea sit a glorious earthly king-
dom had a strong appeal. They
fai' to appreciate the truth of
the prophecies such as those given
by Zechariah. True, ,Messiah is a
king. But, "Ile is just, and having

The formation of certain letters

Notice how different the small
"e" is formed, quite unlike the style
taught us in our class. room training.
When the writer instinctively makes
such a decorative "Greek" letter "e'"
1• is an altno.t certain sign of cul-
tural inclinations. Such writers show
preference for permanency and
quality 'in the things they under-
t_ke, not being sn' 'i -,I with ordin-
ary achievements but striving, for

Doctors Should
Speak Carefully
To Their Patients
Doctors were warned about the
dangers of instilling fear into pati-
ents by the use of awesome medical
terminology in an address made to
the Massachusetts Medical Society
by Si. Reginald Watson -Jones, or-
thopaedic surgeon to King George
V- and Surgeon -in -Chief of the
Royal Air Force.
"Every word we utter can either
help or retard a bed -ridden patient,
and ` innocent word sontetime5
can delay or prevent total recovery,"
Sir Reginald told the Society.
To illustrate, he related the ex-
perience of a woman who had been
unable to sit for two years solely
because her doctor had described
a wrench she had had in her back
in such impressive but unintelligible•
language that she believed she must
b disabled, and she was.
Many other patients are scared
away from living a normal life
merely because their doctors tell
them they have mild arthritis, an
ailment 'eared because of its associa-
tion wittl a severe type of arthritis,
he ted.
'i o tell a person to "go slow" he
termed "terrible advice" until the
doctor is sure that Inert trouble is
present. If the doctoh warns a pati-•
est to "go slow" because he is not
sure, he may cause hardship as the
patient will assume heart trouble and
again sacrifice a normal living.
"It is our duty to explain to pati-
ents what they have and what we
arc doing in simple words and then
make certain they .understand," Ise
said
Sir Reginald dechlred that psy-
chology was hall the battle in bring-
ing recovery.
I sulinttt that 100 per cent of
the hospital beds are filled with psy-
chological ailments, for it is impos-
sible to Ise ill without psychological
reflection," he said.
"Yet no aspect of medical treat-
merit is less recognized, more im-
portant and more difficult."
