'
Valdeznodded, his lips tight,
"I've got to see this Garvin of
whom you tell me," be said to the
girl. "Where is his outfit? Has Inc
gest a ranch hereabouts, or is he
more likely to be found in the
nearest town? What's the name
Jf that town, by the way?"
"He lives in the town of Luna
Roja," she said, "But it is a. dan-
gerous place to go, senor—and
more dangerous when it is the
.Sector Garvin you seek.
"Hg has set ]itself up as 1
banker in Luna Roja, where he
has a white -plastered adobe hong
that is much like a fortress, and
it is there he has his bank, He
lives there most of the time, and
he is well protected, because he
has a host of killers who serve
him, and who live in the block-
houses whish form the corners of
the patio of his house. His guards
are on duty always — day and
night"
"Maybe I can manage to get by
',tut somehow," Valdez said evenly.
* * *
He turned from her to give his
attention to the gear he had taken
out of his blanket roll, and which
must now be disposed of in some
other way. Tying the legs of
a pair of riding breeches together,
he stuffed the gear into them,
then removed his leather chaps
and used them to make a sort of
impromptu valise, to be tied with
his reata.
With the chaps removed, he
stood there in the tight -fitting
_oncha-trimmed trousers of a
Mexican don, They had an odd
effect with his eharro vest. But
it was not that that made Juanita
stare at him, then at the gear still
at his feet. One of her slender,
browned fingers pointed wordless-
ly to his head, and swiftly he
placed a hand to his hair. In the
t•xcitemetit the black wig that he
wore had become displaced, and
from beneath it showed strands
of gleaming red -gold hair.
* * *
With a twist of his lips he swept
the wig from his head and tossed
back the waving reddish mane,
T] en, as he saw that Juanita's eyes
wavered to the last of the gear
on the ground at Itis feet, he
picked up the silver -decorated
jacket that lay there, shrugged out
,f his charro vest and replaced it
with the dark velvet jacket. From
the ground he also picked up a
bright scarlet sash which he
wound about his slim waist, mak-
ing sure that his wide gun belt and
holsters were in place, His last
move was to tie a matching scarlet
scarf about his neck, And it was
that badge, as much as the red -
gold hair above it, that had given
hint his name, a name that had
brought fear to the hearts of mis-
creants, and gratitude from those
he had served. El Caballero Rojo
—the Red Cavalier!
* * *
Still amazed, Juanita de Cuevas
stood for a moment, utterly unable
to speak, her dark,eyes widened.
Then her lips moved in awe as
site said, barely above a whisper:
'El Caballero Rojo l" She could
not be mistaken, she knew, for
that red hair, the scarlet sash and
gaudily decorated garments, and
above all, the red kerchief around
his bronzed throat, could 'belong.
to only one man—the avenger of
whom every Mexican above the
'border had heard!
Chance bad shown to Juanita
de Cuevas who he actually was,
this friend in need who had so
suddenlyappeared from nowhere.
But it could not be helped now.
Me had intended to enter this val-
ley in his role of wandering va-
quero, but what he had seen here
had changed his plans, and it
might be just no well that this
girl knew.
"Where can you go now, Jua-
nita?" he asked with concern.
"Have you friends-"
Slowly she turned and faced
him, And what she said left him
speechless fo a moment.
"I will go, senor, with you, You
have proved you are my one, my
only amigo. Where you go I will
go. I will be your follower, your
servant, to look out for your
wants." Courage and firtn resolve
were in her soft voice.
"But you can't do that, Juanita!"
Valdez exploded, startled.
Her small head went up again
in that proud, defiant gesture.
"You are going to sec Senor
Garvin," she said firmly. "That is
what you say. You mean to bring
him to pay for what he has done
to me and my people. I know,
though you have not say that
much; for everybody knows that
El Cabeliero Rojo fights for poor
people who cannot defend them-
selves. But this fight—it is as
much mine as yours. I go with
you."
"But you don't understand,"
Michael. Valdez protested, patting
her shoulder gently. "I'd have
found Garvin even if there had not
been this—this tragedy of yours
here, I told you—I've been look-
ing for him for a long time—five
years, This is my fight, Juanita,
not yours, though I promise that
you also will be avenged. You
must go to friends of yours—
where you'll be safe. Let me
know where that will be and when
I get through with Garvin I'll
come back and take you to a place
where you will be watched out for
and can start life all over again."
* *
He vaulted into the saddle_ and
picked up El Ciclo's reins, The
girl looked up at 'him, her great
dark eyes accusing.
"You do not intend to come
back;" she said quietly. "Even if
Garvin or his men do not kill you,
and as you say you 'take care of
him; you do not intend to come
back, Senor Caballero,"
Michael Valdez smiled down et
her, but Inc did not answer. He
waved his hand and touched El
Cielo lightly with the spurs, send-
ing the mount down the trail. He
could not answer her, because she
had spoken the truth.
No, El Caballero Rojo did not
intend to come back for Juanita
de Cuevas,
El Falsetto Valley, as Michael
Valdez had already discovered,
was in one of New Mexico's rich-
est ranges, though so remote that
it was as yet Ittle known.
At its greatest width it was
about twenty miles wide, and
there were few of the badland
terrains that often break up the
virgin wealth of cattle -raising and
farming lands, On the other side
of the first foothills, though, Val-
dez had already learned from an
old Indian, there was a spot known
as Juniper Brakes which was as
far removed from what this valley
was as it was possible to conceive.
But 7,1 Caballero Rojo had been
glad to know of its existence,
since there might come a time—
as so often there did—when he
would be glad of its wild sanc-
tuary.
Juniper Brakes, be had been
told, was no more than a jumble
of hills too steep- to climb on
horseback, their sides. and tops
covered with thick growths of
stunted conifers. At the foot of
the hills were alternating marshy
spots and dry arroyos,
With the picture of what that
land nest be, Michael Valdez
looked with fresh appreciation on
the - valley as he rode- on and on,
with the waving greenery on ei-
ther side like an inland sea. The
valley that Juanita de Cuevas had
said had once belonged to her
people, and which Raymond Gar-
vin had wrested for leis own by
brute force.

Your Handwriting
and You
Alex S. Arnott
Generosity is shown by the gen»
Brat spacing of the writing. Ex-
amine a page of your writing. How
much margin hay.: you on the
left hand side of the. page? Is the
writing crowded to the edge Of
the paper ,r haveyouleft a .gen-
erous margin? Look at the top of
the liege. Have you crowded the
lepers to the top, leaving a wirlc
space at the bottom of the page?
When there is little margin on
the left hand side or• at the top
of the page, the writer is endow-
ed with a goad wholesome thrifty
and practical nature, if confirmed
by other indications in the script.
If there is a very generous spac-
ing between -the fines and also
between the letters, you may be
sure the writer will place economy
as a secondary consideration to
comfort and well-being,
There are . many types of gen-
erosity and each has its own sign.
The majority of signs show the
writers to be generous with them-
selves but not so generous at
helping those in need.

Sunday School Lesson
Wise Words About Work
Proverbs 6:6-11; 18:9; 24:30-32;
Ecclesiastes 5:12.
GOLDEN 711X7, - 11•'holsarttcr
thy hood find to do, do it wit); thy
highs.—Csrrlrsiastes 9:10.
1.f the world ever needed a lesson
concerning the basis and necessity of
work; it isgetting it today. \!1'c have
a forceful demonstraton of what
happens when men turn from pro-
ducing. rite things that satisfy human
need to producing ways of destruc-
tion.
The vigorous words, written many
hundreds of years ago to describe
what happens when mien stop work-
ing and become sluggards, describe
exactlywhat has happened in many
countries.
To the non -worker the wise ratan
of Proverbs predicted that "want as
an armed maid' would corse, and
that is precisely the situation in lands,
striciccis by war.
*
Even in countries like ours, not SO
seriously stricken ;by war, we have.
had ample demonstration of what
happens when men stop working.
Without attempting to assess the
matter of rights and causes, one can
point to what happens when trains
stop runnning, when fishermen stop
fishing, when steel mills stop pro-
ducing when coal miners stop dig-
ging, and when building is tied up
with strikes and jurisdictional con-
flicts. Such strikes and lockouts no
longer affect only the things that
people 'can do without, but they in-
vade the very basis of living and
safety, imperilling the sicic, and ham-
stringing the healthy.
* * *'
The productive powers of man
are so great that if all who are able
to work were doing their fair share,
and were doing it faithfully and
regularly, the resulting resources for
the satisfaction of human heeds and
for the aggrandizement of life
would be so great that short hours
of labor, with much time for leisure,
pleasure and home-building, would
be available for all.
So. the wise words concerning
work are still words of wisdom. And
the words of Jesus, above all, are to
be remembered, "My Father work-
eth hitherto; and 1 work."
