for taking the law into his own hands.

CHAPTER. IV
And now the red-headed avenger
had arrived in Paisano Valley.
And as if it had been a mocking
greeting to him he had been faced
with evidence of more of Garvin's
ruthless work as soon as his eyes
had been set on the emerald range-
land.
Night bad come when Michael
Valdez drew his blue roan to a
halt on a small rise just above
the twinkling lights in a huddle
of adobe dwellings. The whole
town of Luna Roja, he saw at once'
was built about the sprawling
white Garvin place, which he re-
cognized from Juanita's decription.
The town itself was at the north-
ern end of the valley on the edge
of Canyou Rijo. From there Gar-
vin could keep an eye on activities
anywhere in the valley.
* * r:
As he sat staring down at the
sinister town, no one would have
recognized the wandering vaquero
who had first ridden into the
valley that morning. Tall and
straight, he sat his horse in his
gaudy Spanish apparel, hat off,
and with the first rays of the
moon glinting on red hair where �•
the morning sun had shown on
black.
For only moments he paused to
snake reconnaissance. Then, with
deliberation, he loosened the scar-
let handkerchief from around his
neck and drew up its folds over
his face until only his dark eyes
showed, hard and bitter.
With freshly loaded six-guns
and Winchester carbine, red-head-
ed and scarlet-maskedd, like some
panoplied knight of the Middle
Ages, he rode down toward the
town of L,una Roja. In the moon-
light a silver -decorated specter

in
moving on the wings of the wind
—one that none dared challenge.
He had not ridden into the
town's main street when suddenly
out of the darkness a mounted
man sprang into the road. He
swung his horse across the nar-
row trail which led into the long
street, blocking it.
But El Cielo had been long and
patiently trained for just such an
encounter as this. With amazing
suddenness the mount reared. One
of Valdez' arms went out, the hand
holding something that for a mo-
ment showed crimson in the faint
moonlight—another great scarlet
neckerchief. The i, ickerchief
whipped about the pistol in the
astounded guard's hand. It was
torn from his grasp and, before
he knew what was `happening, this
barrel of the pistol that had jump-
ed into the red-haired man's other
hand crashed against the guard's
head. He slumped crazily from
his saddle into the dust of the
trail.
Valdez lifted his reins as he
dropped the handkerchief -covered
gun of the outlaw guard into his
pocket, and the blue roan spurted
ahead.
"Madre de Diosl" gritted El
Cabelleru Rojo. "Strangers must
certainly get a cordial greeting in
this town!"
* * *
He swung into the street and
noted that at the edge; of .the town'
were the inevitable 'dobe shacks
that trimmed the outskirts of all
such small Western towns. Most
of the houses were dark, for the
peons must be up and at work by
daybreak, and usually sought their
beds early.
Cautiously El Caballero slowed
down before the white -plastered
walls of the Garvin pace. Dis-
mounting in the blackest shadows
some distance from the sprawling,
pretentious dwelling in the center
of its patio, he trailed El Cielo's
reins and stole toward the gate
facing the street.
Garvin's house and patio were
completely enclosed by high walls,
to which only the big gate facing
the street, and a smaller one in
the rear, gave entry. And the four
blockhouses which Juanita had de-
scribed gave the whole place the
effect of a fortified castle.
From one corner blockhouse
came sounds of raucous singing
and the twanging of a guitar, punc-
tuated by hoarse laughter. No
one was in sight.
* *
It looked like a good chance to
slip in through the gate, for El
Caballero Rojo could make out
in the dim light that it had not
been locked, but stood ajar a few
inches. But even as his eerie.
glittering figure reached it, a man
leaped out to block it.
Like a silver -decorated v•raitb,
the masked man dived at the
guard. Instantly his stronger fin-
gers found the fellow's throat and
cut off his warning shout. Once
more the red-headed avenger's pis-
tol barrel cracked on bone, and
once more a man sank to the
ground and lay quiet.
With noiseless footsteps El Ca-
ballero slid into the patio.
Across the courtyard was Gar -
vin's two and a half story house.
A swift glance told Michael Val-
dez that the one-story addition at
one end of the house was Gar -
vin's office, or "bank" as the land
hog preferred to call it. And a
light fanning wet from the one
window facing the courtyard an-
nounced Raymond Garvin's pres-
ence there.
The time had come!
Michael Valdez faded into the
first open doorway ill sight with
no more stir than would have been
made by a breath of night He
found himself in a long corridor,
and at its end saw a light shining
through a transom 'from the office
door that opened into the cor-
ridor.

Macaroon Crumbs
When a delectable. dessert you
wish to make calls for crumbled
macaroons and you have no macar-

"Macaroon" crumbs are made this
way: Mix one cup of dry bread
crumbs—they shouldn't be too fine
—with one-half cup of sugar and
two teaspoonfuls of almond extract.
Spread this mixture in a pan and let
it brown in a slow oven, When cool,
break it up into crumbs and use as
you would crumbled macaroons. The
difference cannot be detected in any
dish in which they are used—E. M.

the one to support his father's ob-

acting for his son's permanent hap-

can even start his chosen career. To
burden him, with a young, spoiled

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Should one begin a social
letter with an excuse for delay
in writing?
• A. No; one should plunge iin-
mediately into what he has to say,
and if illness has been the cause,
just make casual mention of it
without too many details.
Q. Who pays for the gowns
worn by the bridesmaids?
A. The bridesmaids buy their
own gowns, unless the bride is
wealthy and asks that they wear
gowns that cannot be worn again.
Q. Should the hostess try to
finish eating before the guests?
A. No; the hostess should al-
ways eat slowly, so that she does
not, finish before her guests do.
Q. If you have been invited to
the home of a friend and through
oversight have not been intro-
duced to sonic of the other guests,
should you call this to the host-
ess' attention?
A. No; it is much better to save
the hostess from embarrassment
by joining in the conversation and
laughter, and it is quite likely that
you will soon be talking to every-
one present.
Q. Should one leave at once
when visiting a friend in a 'hos-
. pital and another visitor enters?
A. Yes, leave at once when an-
other visitor or the doctor enters.
Q. When should coffee be serv-
ed at an informal meal?
A. Coffee is served at the table
either during or after the dessert
course,

Use And Abuse Of Wealth

GOLDEN 7 EX7 -- Reiter is a
little with ri,lhtcousii,'st. than great

16 :8.
On a smaller scale and in a more
primitive way the Israelites of old
were confronted with all the prob-
lems of character and conduct that
vex and perplex the noire highly
organized nations of today.
Next to the problem of establish-
ment of peace are the problems of
labor—keeping people working un-
der fair conditions and with good
living standards; and of wealth—
keeping the power of great wealth
tinder control in relation to the
rights and interests of all.
* *
So many problems in these spheres
remain unsolved that we are apt to
fail to realize the great progress,
both in relation to labor and in rela-
tion to wealth, that has been made
within the memory of many now
living. It is not so long since labor
Was regarded as a "commodity" to
be bought, Iike any other commodity,
in the cheapest market, under a com-
petition for jobs that in times of
unemployment was bitterly keen.
Then came recognition of labor,
and the demand for a `living wage"
became so insistent that by now
reference to a standard of living is
a stressed factor in wage negotia-
tions and contracts.
* * *
Similar progress las been made in
enforcing recognition of the rela-
tionships and responsibilities of
wealth. In the days when labor was a
"commodity," wealth was largely im-
mune from governmental control
and from any sense of responsibility.
The prevalent conception was that a
man's wealth was his own, to do
with as he pleased. Today we recog-
nize not only that wealth has social
obligations, but that society itself in
a basic factor in the acquisition.
* *
From a Christian standpoint the
obligations of wealth are simple and •
direct. What a Christian has is not
his own, but is held in stewardship,
subject to, the. will of God, That le
the Ideal:ser forth in the New Testa -
meet, afiij"the truer the Christian the
more nearly will lie attain it in the
practical use of what he possesses.
