say you know of 1:1 Caballero
Rojo. Haven't you heard enough
of hint to know that he rides the
trails that some people call crook-
ed --and that w-ltateVer they are,
he always rides them alone?"
For tate iirst time he seethed to
wonder why the girl was stand-
ing in the• trail, and that her horse
was lying on the ground.
"I don't know what to do with
you, Juanita," he said flatly. 'You
are a problem. And now you are
afoot. Ilow did that happen?"
She looked sadly at the horse

Pancho has carried Juanita as far
as he will. He has been brave,
but when he is tired to the death,
and then stumbles in a hole in
the trail" -she spread her arms
wide in a gesture of futility -
"what can you do?" Tears were
very near her eyes as she looked
at the horse which was the lone
remaining thing of her poor home
that was no more. "I -I fear,
senor, that he may have broken
his leg."
Valdez' momentary exasperation
with the lovely Spanish girl swift-
ly turned to concern. IIe loved
horses, and could not bear to see
one suffer, In a flash he was down
from. his own mount and was =-
mining
amining the bare -ribbed horse
that had so -valiantly carried Jua-
nita so far. But he would carry
her no farther, he saw at first
glance. Poor Panrho's days were
numbered.
"Juanita," he said soberly as he
turned to the girl, "get on El
Cielo there and ride out of hear-
ing. Your-Pancho-well, you're
a ranch girl. You know."
"I know," she said bravely, "but
I will stay. Poncho was -my cast
friend, besides you, El Caballero
Rojo, He would not like me to
go away because he must Ieave
me,
"Just as you say," Michael Val-
dez said, and saw the girl turn
her back and hide her face in her
hands,
One shot rang otit—Paticho's
requiem. Valdez turned from the
dead horse and went over to the
girl whose back was turned to
him, her slender shoulders shak-
ing. He gently tools her hands
away from her eyes. There were
tears in theta, but shefacedhim
bravely. -
"Now what, Juanita?" he said,
and repeated, 'That shalt I do
with y tu:"
"I will go with you. senor," she
said simply. "As I have said." She
bre heti the tears from her eyes
and smiled confidently at him,
The Iri,h in hien felt a quick
spasm grip his heart. As perplex -
td as he was, facing a situation
like this with which he had not
the slightest idea stow to deal,
such fealty as hers, though un-
wanted, uniookcd for, was some-
thing new and refreshing in his
lonely life.
"The outlaw trail is hard, Jua-
nita," he finally said. "Justice is
not always attained by legal means
and long ago I made up my mind
to see that others got it by any
means whatsoever. Maybe right
now, with your fresh grief for
your parents, your passionate
wish- to do something to avenge
their deaths, it seems fine and
free to you. But you don't know.
Other times -it is not so nice. It'a
a way of life that is not for a
girl, Juanita."
"It is for mc," Juanita said, as
though repeating a litany. "Where
you go, I go."
* * *
"And right now it looks like
if you do," Valdez burst out, a
little exasperated, "that you'll go
walking."
Juanita waved a small sun -
browned hand toward El Clelo
standing immobile with dragging
reins.
"Your mount" she said, "he
is fine and , .. He will carry two,
yes?"
"And where?" demanded Val-
dez, "Where do you 'think I could
take you? Good little girl, don't
you know I was getting out of
I'aisano Valley because T thought
it 'night be dangerous for me af-
ter what happened tonight in Luna
Roja? Where could I take you?"
Juanita only repeated the whim-
sical Irish grin that swept across
Valdez' features wiped away the

Unloved Husband Is
Lonely For His Wife
"DEAR ANNE HIRST: I am al-
* most crazy! I'm a man in my 40's,
* married since I was 24. We had
* some tough times in our life, but

with; she has
turned me down

BROKEN-HEARTED."
• A DESPERATE HOPE -
It is possible that - your wife will
come to tire of this unwholesome life
sternness, the puzzled bewilder-
ment.
Well" he said at last, and -
breathed a deep sigh of tempo-
rary surrender. "Weill" His strong
arms scooped up her light body
and plumped her in front of the
saddle on El Cielo's back. "Any-
way, Senorita Juanita de Cuevas
Gomez, I can't leave you standing
out here miles from nowhere in
the middle of the night."
* y: *
"Thank you, Senor Caballero
Rojo," Juanita said softly as he
swung up behind her and reached
for El Cielo's bridle, "I thought
maybe you would see that I can
give great aid to you."
"Have it your own way," Valdez
said, glum again; for he felt as if he
were taking a step that many times
he would find reason to regret.
That was all he did say, for a
long time, as they rode on through
the night, Nor did Juanita speak.
But what plans, what dreams Jua-
nita was having there in the moon-
light, only she knew -and would
not have told for the world.

Why don't you find some other

be good to have someone young

Your might talk this over with your

Snaith► School Lesson
The Better Revelation
Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:1-3; John
14:5-11.
GOLDEN 7 EXT -Jesus smith .
he that halt seem itte hath seen the
bathe -•.-John 14:9.
This lesson, is the first of a,three-
month series based on the messages
of the New 'Testament- Epistles,.
other than those by Paul.
One fact concerning the Pauline
Epistles, the Epistles by James,
Peter, and John, which Pahl certain-
ly did not write, and the Epistle to
the Hebrews, is that they are all
agreed in a comiitoti faith in Jesus as
the Messiah, in belief in Ilis saving
power, in His ressurrection and
Hying presence through the Holy
Spirit, and hi their conception of the
Christian fellowship and the nature
of the Christian lifer
This could he demonstrated in
tinny parallels of actual expression,
though each Epistle may have its
Particular emphasis. James, for in-
phasis 'on faith, be in Paul's more
stance, emphasizes works as the evi-
dence of faith, where Paul puts em -
extensive writings ane would find
many passages that, as strongly as
James, stress the practical nature of
the Christian life. So, also, though
John is the apostle of brotherly love,
all that he says only strengthens
what Pant wrote of love in I Corin-
thians 13. And when Peter writes
of believers as "partakers of the
adivine nature," it is precisely what
Paul has written in Ephesans 3:19.
Belief in Jesus as the Messiah and
the fulfilment of Jewish hopes and
prophecies, is dominant in the
Christian church; and it is at this
point that the devout Christian and
the devout Jew differ, though they
have the Old Testament in common.
It is a difference of belief that is.
not unimportant, hut it should not in
any sense be an occasion of intoler-
ance or unbrotherliness. If the Jew
lives up to all that is best in the Old
Testament, and the Christian up to
all that is best in the rNew, the spirit .
of bout Testaments would tna lee im-
possible the intolerance and preju-
dice that have led to so much suffer-
ing and tragedy. It is in ideals of
peace and good will that Judaism
and Christianity both find their high-
est expression.
