TEA OF REVENGE Y J'A CK-soN•CGL £ Synopsis Chapter XLVIII: Ellen orders Bar- tle from her home but when he re- fuses to leave she goes for the sheriff, Chapter XLIX For half a minute Bartle stood paralyzed. Weber was due soon. Suppose the girl arrived with Sher- iff Lande while he and Weber were threshing things out? Lande would be interested in knowing why tight- fisted Russ Bartle was willing to pay much for the capture of El Caballero Rojo. He glared at Max- on, ' "If she rides away from this farm, I'll—" He snatched his gun. "That's enough, Bartle!" Maxon snapped. Purposefully he walked toward the table where, in a drawer, he had put the six-gun he had wrench- ed out of Clark Weber's hand. Bartle flung open the door as a horse flashed by. He leveled his gun slowly, murder in his heart. "Drop it!" Maxon commanded. Bartle wheeled, fired at Maxon instantly. Che t Maxon floundered back- ward. But before he toppled he shot twice. The shots kicked white puffs from the plaster wall over the landowner's shoulder. * w * Completely panicked, Bartle dash- ed for the barn. No amount of real estate nor millions in a bank could have held him in that house anothet minute. All he asked of life now was a swift horse! •A great shadow fell on tite barn door as he tugged at it. A cry came from the banker's dry lips. He tried to turn around. Like a hangman's hood a dark velvet cape settled over his head. A muscular arm crooked around his neck and held hint half stifl.d while another hand snatched away his gun. As suddenly as It had fal• len upon him the cape was pulled away. He whirled in convulsive ter- ror to see the same velvet tight around the lithe body of the red- headed Caballero Rojo. "Back into the house," El Cab- allero Rojo commanded Bartle. �ati.h.aV�/ Such fun to make this adorable quilt for your child's room; And economical too — make the little applique clog and cat ;from scraps.

"He fired—" "So will I, if you don't start for that house." A canny look came into Bartle's eyes as hope kindled. "The girl's gone for Sheriff Landes You're risking your life here," The man in the scarlet mask mer- ely shrugged. "The sheriff might come," he said. "If you're not a liar. But I doubt if he'll have much to do after I leave here. Get going." Inside the kitchen, the first thing Michael Valdez saw was the bleed- ing man on the floor, and his eyes above the scarlet neckerchief be- came slits of venom. "Fair fight," he squeezed between his teeth. "You, a Westerner who cut his teeth on the butt of an old Colt. And probably the one this Easterner shot with was his first six-gun." He prodded Bartle with his own gun. * * * "He's still breathing," he growled. "Bring him out of that sleep. Pronto! I want a witness to what I'm going to say." Bartle started for the water bucket, hands trembling, knees weak. "That medicine chest in the wall," snapped the man in the caballero clothing. The landowner dazedly swung open the small door. Why, he thought furiously, didn't Weber come? Or the sheriff? Why didn't somebody come? Michael Valdez nudged Bartle's thigh with a boot as the banker bent over the wounded man with a medicine bottle. Maxon gave no sign of returning consciousness. "Get up, Bartle!" the red -masked man growled. "I hate to leave the boy that way, but this place is not the healthiest resort I know of—for me." The landowner wondered if now by some miracle he was to gain a respite. * * * El Caballero Rojo's voice seemed to have Lost its sting. He got up, hoping — until a heavy ledger was slammed on the table. He watched with popping eyes as papers follow- ed, the book and his own six-gun served as a paper weight. El Caballero Rojo opened the ledger. His finger touched the entry that read: Steve Ransom — deceased. He glared at Bartle over his mask. "Well?" he demanded. "Beefmen killed Steve!" Bartle littered. "His wife sold me. the place after that. There's nothing wrong in—" 'The Aldman boy on Don Attero's Cross, His father dead beside the burning shed... Beefmen did that?" His eyes, fiery above the scarlet silk, bored into 'Bartle's like gim- lets. Then with a motion both smooth and swift, his hands shift- ed. A horseshoe clanged on the zinc - topped table. His jaws were rigid- ly set. "Yours?" "No l" "You're a liar!" "That shoe was never-" * * * "Made to hang on the hori- zontal beam of Don Attero's Cross, eh? As tobacco stalk hung with young Sam Aldman? Maybe not. But there is where it will hang. With you taking that boy's place!" Bartle's blood froze. His face was paper -white. "You wouldn't kill an innocent man?" he cried. "You can't prove anything against me. You—" "Prove, eh?" The masked man's short laugh was not pleasant. "I need no more proof than I already have, Legal proof means nothing to a man outside the law. I ant out- side the law—and you put me there!" Russ Bartle looked up, startled. This fellow, he thought must be mad. "I put you there!" he stammered, "Why_„ (To be continued) "Welcome to Canada!" says Hon. James A. MacKinnon, Mines and Resources Minister, as he greets six-year-old Frances McMonigle, one of 40 itnmigrants to arrive at Montreal Air- port on the initial North Star flight tinder the Canadian Gov. ernment Air Charter plan. Frances seemed very happy to be in Canada. She continued aboard the TCA North Star to Toronto where she will live with her grandparents. Other passengers were delighta to be here, too, and for many it meant a happy reunion with relatives and friends. All were intrigued by the scarlet tunics of the "Mounties". NNE 141 —*tot FaS'1?ay i�i1 fil'/ PJ�r®�V "DEAR ANNE HIRST: Why are you so against young marriages? I married when I was 16, and have been very hap- pily married for 25 years. I have a daughter and a son, both grown, and now a wonderful grandchild. "True, we had our ups and downs, but seemed to come out on top of all these situations, 1 believe today we are happier than ever before. "I realize that 25 years ago a girl was much more natured at 16 than today, but there are still plenty of them ready for mar- riage. I know of so many women who married young and are still happy, as against a few who wait- ed longer and are now divorced or separated. From my experience, it seems the more experience a girl has before marriage the more in- dependent she becomes, and the harder it is for her to adjust her- self to circumstances. "What's Your Answer?" "TODAY AT 42, I ate still young enough for my husband and my children to be proud of me. And isn't that the goal of every wo- man—to be young with her family? 3o many friends have told me how YOURIIAND andL YOU.

One of the many rain -makers", amateur and professional, scattered throughout the world is Donald Johnston of Regina, Sask. But he's different from most of the others be- cause he claims his "universcope" will not only produce rain. If neces- sary he can put it into reverse, and prevent a rainfall which might Le un- welcome. Wide-eyed natives witnessed the seeming proof of his large claim— he threw the universcope into reverse to check a cloudy threat of raining out a Royal Canadian Mounted Police -'band concert. It didn't rain. Coincidences—if coincidences they are—have been startling in latest tests of the instrument. Seven put of eight times on which •Johnston has used his electromag- netic device os the Hat's bulging cumulus clouds, it has rained. When he refrained it didn't. The concert over, he went hack to work ag.^.in and, "p.rStn;' i1 rained later. UNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By Rev: R: Barclay Warren Naomi, Woman Of Faith Ruth 1:16-18; 2:20; 4:14-171 ` Golden Text:—Thy peopleshall be my people, and thy God my God.— Ruth 1:16. od,Ruth.1:16. •The` history of the period of the Judges in Israel is one of repeated backsliding followed by ' oppression from neighbouring peoples. Then the people in their sorry plight would call on God and He would raise up a .,.deliverer who would lead Israel to victory and become their. judge. After a time they would forget God's goodness and again revert to the sins of their neigh- bours. The story of Ruth is a most de- lightful episode. But in to -day's lesson our attention is focussed on Ruth's mother -in -law, -Naomi, She with her two sons had left Bethle- hem -Judah in a time of famine and gone to the land of Moab. The sons married two young woman of Moab, Orpah and Ruth. After ten years the men died and Naomi de- cided to return to her home ,country: Ruthinsistedon accompanying her, saying: "Intreat me not to leavd thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou, goest, I will go: and where thou lodgest, 1 will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:" Naomi arrived home disappointed. To her friends she said, Call me not Naomi (pleasant), call me Mara (bitter): for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me". But the goodness of God soon became manifest. Ruth,gleaning in the fields of Boaz, a kinsman of Naomi, beanie his wife A ehild was born whose grandson- was the illustrious King David. Jesus,. too was a des- cendant of this young woman from Moab. Naomi.'s complaint was gone and as grandmother she became nurse to. the- ehild. The love which, Rutlt bore her mother-in-law was appar- ent to the neighbours and is an ex- ample for us to -day.
