The Seaforth News, 1948-08-26, Page 6The Quality Tea "SALA ORANGE PEKOE Synopsis Chapter XLV: Juanita escapes from the sheriff. Weber, mean- while, invades Bartle's room. As he axarines the books and letters, Valdez enters and takes them away. CHAPTER XLVI "I haven't any objections to your looking at these things," he drawled. 'IIf you'll give thein back to me and let me go.' "You have no objections!" El Caballero Rojo's laugh was a sar- castic snort. "Put those books on that chair beside you. Six-gun on top. Be careful. Sabe?" Clark Weber obeyed, He watched the velvet -clad man stalk to the chair. Weber's every nerve and muscle were under rigid control, for he knew that when he moved It must be with the speed of light. He saw one gauntleted hand seize paper and the other move for th- top ledger. "Now" he told himself. Pete Haskell rode down Gold Creek's main street flanked by Luke Wallace and Tim Callahan, and with the cavalcade of ranchers be- hind them. They saw that the shade in Bartle's living quarter.. was drawn, and that a light glowed behind it, Haskell pulled up his horse. "It was agreed that I speak to Bartle alone," he reminded. "Yep," Wallace nodded. "I'll ride herd on the boys—but not far from Ge bank. Get on with it, Pete. ood luck—for Bartle's sake." The range veteran got from his horse and strode toward the bank, ayes Lowered and chin down. Sher- iff Lande would certainly be on his neck after this night's work, It hurt the cowman to think that Lande would stove heaven and artlt—yes, appeal to the governor, need be—to get the noose around the neck of the cowmen's ringleader. He raised his hand to knock at Bartle's outside bank door. The hand dropped. He gaped, then blinked.

That was the wisp of smoke 'curl- ing and fading about the ceiling. It came from a gun in the hand covered by a glittering gauntlet. Halfway down the stairs was the body of a man. Papers littered the steps. Even now the scarlet -mask- ed apparition was scooping thein up—and at Haskell's elbow stood Luke Wallace, demanding to know why the cowman could not get in. Then Wallace saws His hand swooped on his gun. "El Caballero Rojo!" he yelped. "Wait!" Haskell commanded in • an angry whisper. "Pt •nty import- ant, those papers, or he wouldn't expose himself like that to get then." "That's not Bartle on the stairs," rasped Wallace. "I'm beginning to see things! This geitt in the velvet and things is in cahoots with Bar- tle! He's the one who has been killing and burning in the valley, for Bartle, curse him!" "Quiet! Let's see what happens." "See, your Aunt Maria! Stop him! He's getting back upstairs— he's getting away!" Wallace whirled, ran to the other ranchers, barking orders "Form a ring around the build. ing! A pair of you stand guard at each trail out of town. Eal Cabal- lero Rojo is in the bank!" It must have been a sixth sense that warned Michael Valdez of the 'closing jaws of a trap. For even as he hurriedly glanced at the ledger of the landowner he heard Pete Haskell's voice, Split seconds were precious time. And even as Luke Wallace ripped out his orders, Valdez -went over the sill of the window he had left open. Clutching the edge of the porch roof, he swung himself into space • and dropped to the ground. Bent almost double, looking more like a giant round ball than a man run- ning, lie disappeared behind the stable in the rear of the bank. Two ranchers carne pounding out of the street toward the rear of the bank, shouting as they saw the open window. Hastily vaulting into the saddle, Valdez turned the roan quietly, watching the two ranchers. Guns in hand, they stood watching Bartle's 'open window, waiting for the intruder to emerge from it to the porch roof where they could feed him lead. Swiftly Valdez was picturing the four ways out of Gold Creek for a man who must ride hard. Death lurked in all of them. North would be the shortest way to safety. If he could escape the bullets of this pair now within a stone's throw of him, he had an. even. chance to get out of town alive. A rancher behind the bank whirl- ed about to face the stalls in the barn. To the other he .whispered: - ' "Hear somebody back there?" "Thought I heard-" A gun flew up. It cracked. Once —twice—again. The outer rancher blazed four shots at a streaking rider who looked fantastically like something sailing wild in a gale. Only four flashing legs proclaimed it at least part horse, and the whole wraithlike object, dimly aglitter, disappeared behind another building as suddenly as it hac come from be- hind the bank stable. A cry went up in the street. From the north two ranchers rode swiftly, guns ready, headed for the bank. In an alley three buildings away from Bartle's bank, Michael Valdez touched his blue roan gently with his heels. "North, pronto" he unuttered. Gold Creek hummed behind him. Over his shoulder he saw riders joining the eddy at the bank door. Their angered yells still echoed in his ears when the lights that were still aglow in the town were blotted out by distance. And no threaten- ing thud of hoofs -sounded behind him. Back in the cowtown Luke Wal- lace, who by virtue of having taken abrupt command had superseded Pete Haskell as the guiding hand of the ranchers, had heard the guns bark behind the bank.

LANNE PST e Vault, 7"suau&y a -ti est Difference in !. gcs A 17-year-oldgirl is distressed. She has got herself engaged to a young man who is 28. Her mother, she tells ate, feels he is too old for her, and hopes she will recon- sider h e r pro- mise. A mother knows her 'daughter better than anyone else can. Perhaps this mother realizes that h e r girl's fiance is too settled in his ways to be compatible with any- one so young. She knows -that for the past 10 years or so, he has been having fun with various girls he knew; now, nearly 30, he is ready to settle down to the serious business of marriage. He wants. his own home, his children, a wife who is understanding. This girl's mother probably' feels that her daughter is not sufficiently stature to snatch him, mentally and temp- eramentally. I hope the girl will heed her. Years And Temperaments Ordinarily, it is well that a * man be older than the girl he * marries. Most girls develop * earlier than young men do, and a * difference of five or even 10 years * between them it not, in my opin- * ioit, too great. A man nearing 80 * should know what he wants. If * this man wants this girl, he should * be willing to wait until she is old * enough to know what she's doing, * For most girls of 17 think * through their emotions. They * fall in love, and so eager are they * for marriage that they cannot * weigh such mundane angles as * temperamental differences. They * know they enjoy being with a * certain boy or man, and they only think how wonderful it would be * to be with him all the time. Stay With Crowd * It is alinost impossible for girls * of this age to know their own * minds. Far wiser it is not to * enter into any engagement at all, * to date others too, stay with the * crowd, and know the experiences * which the next few years will * bring. They will develop, in per' * sonality and character, rapidly * during those years; at the end of * of them, they will have a bett.r * chance of knowing what they * seek in marriage—besides just * being together. * So many girls who marry at * 16 or 17 regret it in a few years. * Housework is never done, babies * keep them tied down, they can't * keep up with the husbands they * adored such a little time ago. * They miss the good times they * used to have, and wish with all * their hearts they could have them * again. They mourn their lost * freedom. So they write me they * want a divorce! * I do not claim that no girl of * 17 should starry. Occar ionally * some of them are mature beyond. * their years. They fall in love, * they marry and raise families, * and they grow up with their hus- * bands. But the percentage of,. * such marriages that succeed is * too small to advise them. To "Becky": Don't be engaged yet. Take at least two more years to •grow up. Then you won't be so apt to regret' it. Date this young man if your mother agrees, but- date others too —and save your promise to him un- til you realize what it means. I don't believe you do now. * * Girls of 17 should be having fun —not tie themselves down with even a promise to marry any one young matt If you are impatient to be engaged; tell Anne Hirst why. Maybe she can help. Address her at 123 -18th Street, New Toronto, 14. Queen Victoria means more than the Good Queen of England.

Golden Text -- Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for Ile liafh visited and redeemed His people. Luke 1:68. During this quarter we have been studying the captivity and return of the Jews. On Neheniiah's second return to Jerusalem Old Testament history closed. The thread is taken up again by Gospel writers more than -400 years later. * a * The history of the. Jews during these 400 -years of silence is gleaned from other sources. For a century* they continued under milli Persian rule, Then came the era of Alex- ander the Oleg; to whom Jerusalun meekly surrendered, 00 his death the domain was divided. At first Judea was under the domination of the Egyptian rulers and then later of the Syrian kings. One of these latter, Antiochus Epihanes, a proto- type of Hitler, massacred 40,000 Jews and defiled the temple. Revolt followed and the Jews .gained their independence. Then the.Roitia t Em- pire arose and they were again sub- jugate$. This Was the situation when Jesus was born.' * * * Ivlalachi's is the last voice of the Old Testament. He foretold the Advance Notes From the "Ex." How •Would You Like To Be A Radio 'Newscaster?

But Malachi was more impressed with the ministry of Messiah Himself. He, would purify • the priests. He would be a witness against sorcerers, adulterers, false swearers and, those' that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow., and the fatherless.He would lift up the standard of righteous living.
