'Wallace orders all farmers to meet at Steve Ransom's. They then will set out to capture Bartle and El Cabellero Rojo. Chapter XLVIII Haskell did not follow Juanita. "Reckon I'll ride on to the Maxon place, Luke," he said. "The mien Will be there with nobody to take charge." "Yeah," Wallace agreed. "You and Tim go on. I'll bring the papers and things pronto. Keep everybody Clear of the Maxon place till I get there. We don't want to scare those two buzzards away before we're ready to jump 'em." Juanita did not worry about the two ranchers who galloped away to- ward the Maxon place. Michael Valdez must be gone from the farm by now. Then she glanced to the north as the sounds of galloping hoofs reached her ears. She saw riders corning fast. Farmers! Ranchers! All headed toward the Maxon place. * * * "Madre de Diosl" she muttered. "If El Caballero Rojo has not gone away from that place!" She stopped her horse, looking as though suddenly confused, or lost. "Senor," she said to Wallace, "the cache is maybe more far than I think. I know it by some small as- pens. Them I do not see here." I'Vallace fumed, though he let the Mexican lear him on a short way farther. "Look!" he finally snapped. "I'11 send some men with you to find the cache. I've got to get on to the Maxons. " "Si, senor," .Juanita .answered placidly, but she was exaulting in the memory of what El Caballero Rojo had told her. Their work here, he had said, was done. She would be glad to get away from the valley—and from Don Attero's Cross. She wanted once again to ride the lone trail, by the A new beautiful chair -set — right at your fingertips!

Had not that blind man, his father, at the Corpus Christi Mission told her to follow her heart? * * * Russ Bartle had little appetite for hard work. On his farm men work- ed for him, as they ,did elsewhere. And now he was discovering that it was much easier to make ledger entries than it was to change horse- shoes. He did succeed in getting off those which branded him as a kil- ler, buried them under the dirt floor of the small blacksmith shop, and gave no thanks to the unknown Mexican who had discovered the telltale prints. But to put on new shoes was not to his liking. Bartle mopped the sweat from his face and went to the farmhouse to get Chet Maxon to finish the job. But Maxon was not eager to grasp the opportunity. "Why didn't Clark help you?" he demanded. "You two acted like old friends." « * "He was in a hurry," Bartle said. "He's gone to town. And I'm not feeling so good. My heart ... I'll give you five dollars to finish the job for me." "I don't want your money," snap- ped Maxon, "I'd put four shoes on you for nothing, if I could stand to look at your ugly face." Bartle looked his surprise. "Why, what have I done to make you so proddy at me?" he asked mildly. "You fell right in with Clark, for one thing," Maxon said defiantly. "And that rat's about your kind, I reckon. You also seemed to think that I ought to go gunning for El Caballero Rojo. He's an outlaw, I'll admit, but I'm also betting that worse men have lived in the shelter of the law, pulling wool over other people's eyes." Bartle eyed Maxon sharply. "Just what have you been hear- ing since you've been here, any- how?" nyhow?" he asked nervously. « * * "Nothing much. -Except about El Caballero Rojo and the trouble he's broken up wherever he's gone. Some men, they say, would never have met up with man-sized justice if he hadn't served it out. Maybe he'll do as good a job here—and it looks as if it's needed." The landowner did not speak. He paced the kitchen anxiously for s while. His continued presence here puzzled Maxon. There was one way to get rid of the unwelcome guest, Chet Maxon considered. Put the shoes on his horse. This Maxon suddenly volun- teered to do. He went out on the job at once, and in a short time he returned to the house. "Done," he announced. "You're ready to ride now." Bartle ignored the hint. His fears were riding him hard. Had he owned less real estate and had less cash in the bank where it could not be touched until morning, he might have rushed out and ridden away, never to return to Gold Creek. He paced the floor faster, glancing out of the window, await- ing the arrival of Clark Weber, whom he feared ar much now as he did the man who wore the scarlet neckerchief. * * * "Why don't you go?" Ellen at last turned around and said bluntly. "I thought you just wanted to have your horse's shoes changed." "I've decided to wait for Weber," Bartle said. Ellen's brows arched and she stepped into Bartle's path. "What are you and he up to?" she demanded. "Weber's bringing me something from town," snapped Bartle. "Something that can be used to squeeze money out of somebody?" Maxon demanded. "There's some kind of dirty deal on, and I won't have it settled here. So you can get out." Still the landowner made no move. "If anything happens here, we'll be blamed, Chet!" Ellett said to her brother, low -voiced. ".I'm going for the sheriff," She grabbed a coat and flashed out the door. (To Be Continued) She Wanted a Good Dog—Now She Has One -Although she lives in the heart of a big city, where room is scarce and con- ditions crowded, Jean Bradd of Toronto always wanted a good dog—not a dog of the "toy" variety but a real one. She saved up her money and invested in this German S.hepherd—Duke of Barrimor C.D.—when he was but a puppy. Under careful handling and expert training, "The Duke"—still less than two years old—appears to be on his way to Championship honors. Last year he was a handy winner of a swimming event for dogs at the Canadian National Exhibition. While Miss Bradd is at work in the office where she is employed the dog stays in her room; but when working hours are over he is always at her side. This exclusive picture was taken at the Unionville Dog Show last month. LANN€ 114! 13 Ski", BEING a father is not a week -end job. It is a daily duty which no good father neglects. It is fine to spend Saturdays a n d Sundays with the youngsters; b u t every responsible father sets aside a little time each evening to get to know his family, to listen to their little troubles. to reassure them of his interest and affection. A Father's Ten Tenets 1. He makes himself responsible for his child's behavior. 2, He shares in his child's activities. 3. He makes his child feel secure. 4. He has his child's complete con- fidence, 5.He is never blinded by love to his child's faults he knows he serves his child's best interests best by recognizing and correct - Ing weaknesses, 6. He is always available to help solve youthful problems. 7. He doesn't demand ficial devo- tion—he wins it. 8. He recognizes, and accepts as largely his, the responsibility for his child's mental and spiritual development. 9. He contributes to making the home his child's haven. 10. He strives to be the man his child thinks he is. * A MOTHER cannot raise the * children satisfactorily alone. They * need a father's vision, a father's * understanding. They need his * companionship, in the largest sense * of the word. Without his daily little * session, they cannot be adequately * protected against the influences of * less fortunate playmates.

A Just Friend * FATHER can't afford to be the * man with the big stick, who attacks * little children who've been naughty * today. He is their grown-up friend, * just and wise, impartial and kind. * Because he is not with them as * much as their mother, they are apt * to take his decisions more seriously, * be more readily convinced of his' * justice. * BEING a father is not easy. It * takes every decent instinct, every * ounce of wisdom a man can corral. * Yet as he watches his children * grow..and develop under his guid- * ance, what finer joy is there in his * life. He and their mother, together.. * find their greatest reward in rear- * ing the children in the way they * should go. A child is the parent's tie with eternity. Happy the father who gives his children himself, that most precious gift of all! * * * Are you worthy to be a father? That is the question every young husband should ask himself. If your children don't respond to your overtures, tell Anne Hirst about it. Address het at 123 -18th Street, New Toronto, Ontario. UM SCHOOL LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren Bezaleel: The Craftsman Exodus 31;1.11; II Chronicles 1:5. Golden Text:- Whosoever thy hand findcth to do, do it with thy might. Ecclesiastes 0:10. To -day we study of Bezaleel, a craftsman who was filled with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in :un- derstanding, and it knowledge and in all manner of workmanship. He and his fellow workers constructed the tabernacle, including the ark, altars, candlestick, laver, and the garments for the priests. Later when Solomon built the temple all that had been in the tabernacle was transferred. Bezaleel recognized that the abil- ity to do this fine work was a gift from God. He did the work not merely for money but as an expres- sion of his de-•otion. He was not just sawing boards, or making a liv- ing; he was building a tabernacle for God. This gave him heart and purpose for the work. Nothing would do more to smooth out difficulties in the ranks of labor to -day than a gaining of Bezaleel'r, attitude. If our task is a worthy one we are contributing to the welfare of our family, the nation and the world- Let us do it as unto the Lord. Labor laws can help to regulate conditions so as to make for better relations, -But the deepest problem may be untouched. What we need is a revival of pure and undefiled religion, that men of all nations in life wilt recognize their stewardship of talent and responsibility to God and fellowmen. PLAYTHINGS Behold the child, by Nature's kind- ly law, Pleased with a rattle, tickled by a straw; Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight, �.A litt.t4louder, but as empty quite; ;=Scarfs -garters, gold, amuse his rip- er stage, And beads and prayer -books are the toys of age; Pleased with his bauble still, as that before; Till tired he sleeps, and life's poor play is o'er.

Would ` .. you tell us more about, this hand. t , writing through a further analy- sis of the script. T h e appear- ance of the writ- ing is large and •generous and those who write like this are usually very liberal and broad- minded. This feature is confirmed by the broad uprising final to the .letter "n" in the word "Wy- man". The letters "m" and "n" are un- usual as they are not rounded at the top but finished to a point, a good sign of an investigative nature. Sincerity of purpose, high ideals, and real friendliness are shown in the strokes above the writing line. Depth of writing has a special meaning and Miss Wyman's is evi- dence of ability to blend colours effectively. Interest in art is indicated by the graceful, well rounded appearance of the writing. Adaptability for new conditions makes the writer most suitable for the career she has chosen, that of an actress.

In an informal introduction, is the mere pronouncing of names permissible? 'A. Yes; "May I present" is not necessary. You may accentuate the more important person's' name with. a slightly rising inflection. Q. When dining with a man in a public place, does the woman give her order direct to the waiter? A. No; the woman tells her escort her preference and he in turn gives the order to the waiter. Q. Is it good form to have "Miss" before an unmarried girl's name on a calling card? A. It most certainly is; in fact, the ommission of the, title "Miss" is a social error. Q. Should a person rise when be- ing toasted at a banquet? A. It is not necessary. Q.
