CHAPTER VIX
Before he had entered Paisano
Valley El Caballero Rojo had made
preparations for the place to which
he would return as a sort of head-
quarters. This he always did when
arriving in any hitherto unexplored
section of the country. Ahvays tt
was necessary for him to find a
hideout which it would be difficult
for others to find, and to which it
would be equally as difficult to trail
him. He had found such a place in
the rough country that lay on that
part of the line dividing Paisano
Valley front the badlands, shortly
before he had entered the valley
itself.
It was not a great distance away,
but in a land as different from the
Iush beauty of Paisano Valley as
day front night.
* ■
Valdez had spent one whole day
before entering the valley in finding
just the spot which would serve his
purpose as a hideout. He had found
it when he had discovered a cave,
not far from one of the few streams
that were within miles of Paisano
Valley. He had taken possession
Your Handwriting
and YtouBy
Alex S. Arnott
One Person Thrifty,
The Other Generous
Dear Mr..truott: I have enclosed
two examples of handwriting of
young men with whom I ant ac-
quainted. Would you please analyse
their writing and tell me how
their characters compare?
Answer: Notice how broad and
generous the first example of writ-
ing is compared to the second one.
This indicates the writer's charac-
ter to be similar in nature, broad
minded in his views and very gen-
erous with material possessions.
This writer is very extravagant and
nothing but the best will do to sat-
isfy his needs, Ile considers petty
things as a nuisanceand will avoid
detail work or anything that is
trifling and requires concentration
and attention to detail. However, he
has the ability to organize the work
of others and to get things done in
an executive capacity. There is no
doubt that he is, by nature, very
easy going and is not likely to
take matters too seriously,
Now compare the second exam-
ple of writing for size and you have
an entirely different person, Great
powers of concentration are shown
here. Notice how small and closely
packed the writing is. This power
of concentration makes him argu-
nteutive and he will go to great
lengths to debate and to prove a
point whether the subject is hnn-
portant or not. This also reveals
that he has analytical and literary
ability. }Ie is interested in preci-
sion and accuracy, or any quality
which requires a high degree of
yatience and skill .The conciseness
of the writing indicates the writer
10 be thrifty, not approving of
waste of any kind.
In' the analysis of these hand-
writings, it is evident that these
'mo young men are opposites in
character and have entirely dif-
'•vent points of view on personali-
v and personal interests.

immediately, and there he had left
all that he ever carried with him for
making a temporary home.
Michael Valdez was glad that
Juanita was seeing the land over
which they rode, while it was veiled
in moonlight. Moonlight changed
everything—but El Caballero Rojo
had seen this land into which Jua-
nita was so confidently heading
with him in bright light of the day.
He had seen it beneath the searing
heat of the brassy mid-day sun.
Valdez was silent, only putting
in a word now and then, but as El
Clelo picked his way daintily bet-
ween the catclaw and cactus, Jua-
nita talked. She had many things
to say, but this night she made no
mention of her tragedy. Instead,
regaled hint with stories of Paisano
Valley—of its history—and told him
time -dimmed legends of the Indians
who once had their homes there,
and of the Spanish dons who had
come after them.
And as they rode on across the
badlands desert, beneath the stars
and the deep indigo of the sky, cut
by a golden moon, an emotion that
was completely strange to El Cal
baero Rojo gripped him, IIe sud-
denly felt an unaccustomed lump in
his throat, and just as suddenly
the blood was racing through his
veins as he listened to Juanita's
clear, low, contented laughter, and
felt her slight, willowy body in the
tattered peon's clothes close to
trim•
* * *
As innocently as a child Juanita
was letting herself relax, for she
felt so safe now ---safe, with El Ca-
ballero Rojo to whom site had so
naively sworn allegiance. So she
leaned back against his shoulder,
with his arms around ler, in order
to hold El Cielo's reins.
With an uncomfortable feeling he
could not understand, Michael Val-
dez set her upright, as if to settle
himself more comfortably in his
saddle. Ile felt her quiver a little,
as though she feared that in some
way she could not understand she
had displeased him. Then site sat
before him straight and stiff. It was
only a passage for a fleeting mo-
ment, but if either of then could
have realized its significance, they
would have understood.
Suddenly Michael Valdez said:
"Juanita, it may be that I have
not trade myself ch ar to you. To-
night there has berm nothing for it
except to let you come with me,
but what I told you before is true.
El Caballero Rojo rides alone. For
another to ride with him might
make it impossible for him to do
all those things that he is commit-
ted to do. You see that, don't
you?"
* * *
For a moment Juanita did not
speak, and whets she did all the re-
cent joy seemed to alive gone out
of iter soft voice. There was a choke
in it when she said:
"But Juanita only wants to heip
you, senor,
He laughed a little at that, short-
ly. "Help me?" he repeated. "13y
riding like this when I go on such
matters as those which took me
to Luna Roja tonight. Why, you
haven't even got a horse." He
groaned a little, remembering that
catastrophe. "Madre de Diose
What will we do about that, any-
how?"
"Oh," said Juanita, and brighten-
ed a little, "this will be rasy. Back
where where my — horse was,
there is a horse in the corral back
of the two cottonwoods, The horse
of my padre. Perhaps one day you
will ride—only a few hours, senor
—and bring him to me. no?"
* * *
Michael Valdez breathed a sigh of
relief, One puzzle was solved, at
any rate, Would he get the horse
for Juanita? He would—and with
no delay whatsoever, even if it
meant making a return journey to
Paisano Valley before it was safe
to do so. This Juanita problem
war one that would brook no delay.
"And when I have the horse,"
Juanita was saying, more brightly,
"then I can ride with you, Caballero

Deceit Weaves
Tragic Pattern
IF I WERE ASKED to give one
* rule for young girls to follow, it
* would be—Be Honest Its some
* characters, honesty is instinctive;
* the girl would no more think of
* deceiving her family than she
* would steal a pin that did not be-
* long to her. In others, the habit
of being dishon-
est starts young,
with trivial acts
which seen not
to matter, with
little lies that
are not found
out. Soon the
practice becomes
a part of Iter
thinking and her
one desire is to
* sec how much she can get away
with.
* It is not honest to tell your
* mother you were kept after school
* when you went to a movie instead.
* It is not honest to say you're with
* your girl friend, when you know
* you met a boy. It is not honest to
* deviate in the slightest from the
Rojo—I can help you." She trust
have felt his tense silence, for she
said quickly, anxiously, "You do
not want me? But is there no help
I can give you at all?"
It was out the tip of Valdez' ton-
gue to assure her, firmly, that there
was no slightest chance that she
could do anything more than be in
his way, when a better idea flashed
into his mind. It was one that he
believed would settle this bewilder-
ing matter once and for all.
"Yes, Juanita, there is something
that you can do for nue," lie told
her. But he made to further ex-
planation until they had ridden on
a way.
11e was busy picking out land-
marks, knowing that they were
nearing the hideout, and anxious
not to lose the way, now that they
were near it. With an exclamation
of satisfaction he turned oil the
sandy ground over which they had
been traveling, and for a short dis-
tance further they climbed, up the
side of a rugged hill that towered
against the moonlight.
El Cielo picked his dainty way
upward, and where there was a
sort of bench formation, Valdez
again turned off. There he dis-
mounted and led his horse with
Juanita clinging to El Cielo's inane,
into a cave from which he shoved
back a tangled growth of mesquite.
* * *
Juanita's eyes lighted with inter-
est as he struck a match and set _
it to a candle placed on a jutting
shelflike rock. She saw food that
he had carried in an extra saddle-
bag, canned stuff, bacon, and
jerky, as well as flour, coffee, and
a few sundries, and crude camping
equipment which be had stacked
in one of the corners. Valdez had
even taken the time to snake for
himself a cot of pine boughs which
stood against the cave wall.
"Nice," Juanita said. "Very nice.
You have make yourself most
comfortable in these badlands
they say are no good for living."
Then something seemed to be on
her mind, and she .turned to ask
Michael Valdez: "But Senor Ca-
ballero, you say little while ago
that there is something you have
for Juanita to do for you. You tell
me what it is?"

TROUBLE AHEAD!
Two young girls write inc that
they "could be popular if they could
go out," but they live with an "old
maid aunt who thinks it's disgraceful
to be seen with a boy." So they slip
out without iter knowing and naively
add, "This is causing us to get a bad
reputation, though we never do any-
thing wrong."
Another 16 -year-old deplores her
mother's attitude. "She doesn't trust
me at all, though it's only six tittles
I've sneaked Out with a boy. .Tic's
nice enough, but she won't let me
have dates with anybody, and I'm
not going to stand for it!"
If'hat do you girls think these boys
say about you? Olt, I know al first
you think you're smart, you're in-
trigued with the very clandestine
nature of your meetings. You are
culprits together and you get t kick
out of it. But what really is happen-
ing to you? The word gets around,
other boys know you're easy and be-
fore you realise what's happening
the nice girls stunt yoit and your have
no friends except corner hangers-on
who whistle as you pass.
Then it's too late. The damage is
done. And take my word for it, it
can take years to rehabilitate your-
self.

Sw d y School Lesson
Christ the Minister
Hebrews 4:14-16; 7 :26-27 ;
9:24-28; 10:11-14.
GOLDEN TEXT:— He is able al-
so to save deem to the uttermost
that came untto. God by him.-11.9b-
"1's
int.-lf b-
rews 7:25.
The topic of this lesson for
young people and adults Is'"The
Sufficient „Christ"; and that phrase
accurately characterizes both the
letter and spirit of the Epistle
to the Hebrews,
The writer of the !epistle, has a
deep sense of the spiritual heritage
of Israel. "God," he writes, "at
sundry times and In divers man-
ners spake in times past unto the
fathers by the prophets"; and in
the lith chapter he records the story
of the men and women of faith in
a way that only a lover of Israel
and of Israel's religion could have
clone:
But his faith* an.*d o*utlook as an
earnest Israelite is dominated by
the supreme conviction that God,
who spoke formerly through the
prophets, has spoken "in these last
days" through His Son, Jesus
Christ, "the brightness of His
glory", and "express image of Xis
person."
Vlrith all the greatness of the
past religion of Israel, it is the
writer's contention that there was
a promise unfulfilled. Saints and
prophets "obtained a good report
through faith, but received not the
promise: God having provided
some better thing for us, that they
without us should not be made
perfect" (Hebrews 11:80-40).
* * *
But what of priestliness and
sacrifice in the Jewish religion?
The writer's answer is that Jesus
is a superior high priest, -inasmuch
as He has offered I-Iintself a Sac-
rifice, once for all. An ' insistent
question, 'I think, concerns how
mach of religious faith and prac-
tice oftoday is in the`realm of un-
fulfilled promise, awaiting the su-
preme experience of Christ as "the
Minister of better things."
