He is then obliged to take the girl with him. CHAPTERf 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. Always it 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 from 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 lush beauty of Paisano Valley as day from 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 'I' 1u Alex SS. .y Arnbft' One Person Thrifty, The Other Generous Dear Mr. Arnott: I have enclosed two examples of handwriting of young men with whom I am 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. He considers petty things as a nuisance and 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 - :'le of writing for size and you have an entirely different person. Great ¶sowers of concentration are shown here. Notice how small and closely packed the writing is. Tills newer er of concentration makes r;-. arms- inentive and he wit go t, great lengths to debate and to ttr rp a point whether the subject is im- portant or not. This also reveals that he has analytical and erary bility. He is interested in preci- en and accuracy, or :ley selality .hich requires a high de;.,: ed. rf atience and skill .The ce est f the writing indicates teritee 'es be thrifty, tvt aft.... g of -note of any kind.

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 Cielo 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 him 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. He 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 him. As innocently as a child Juanita was letting . herself relax, for she felt so safe now—safe, with El Ca- ballero Rojo to whom she had so naively sworn allegiance. So she leaned back against his shoulder, with his arms around her, 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. He felt her quiver a little, as though she feared that in some way she could not understand she had displeased him. Then she sat before him straight and stiff. It was only a passage for a fleeting mo- ment, but if either of them could have realized its significance, they would have understood. Suddenly Michael Valdez said: "Juanita, it may be that I have not made myself ch or to you. To- night them: has be..n 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 tie.

In 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 seem not to matter, with little lies that are not found out.

It is not honest to * deviate in the slightest from the Rojo—I can help you." She must 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 on 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 me," he told her. But he made no further ex- planation until they had ridden on a way. He 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 off 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 mane, into a rave from which he shoved .ae.k a , •;earl growth of mesquite. x * s i+ •a:,. 4 lighted with inter- ';. as • •si.seek a match and set n so a e ^m4 on a jutting see -nese r a a rr °,,r1 that t+ t•. +r A ter a 'addle - v s, •, t tri s y,. a •: and swine t ,,°^ , , i+, •,ne.'nns, and ..t:t' tt},t+••rt:a, • ..•4t .. > ':T,!;ging stacked ,, a,ta ti :,+1 . ,..n,,;.a <:�✓ had < 4}1.: for ItRttt.reiti t etr .;} it' S , ,Z rxhi ch It, :5'. r a;s l rr f nice. tir r •t rt r': "; most tt .•.•• r x - '' fico- tare lands nee,- yr t gees; f•rn living." est, ar 44.0±:40;4. t.h be on t <°! a e !raised to ask e i Lit Senor Ca- r . . say little while ago tr„nothing you have to do 'lot you.

Two young girls write me 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 her 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 times I've sneaked out with a boy. .He's nice enough, but she won't let me have dates with anybody, and I'm not going to stand for it!" What do you girls think these boys say about you? Oh, I know at 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 a kick out of it. But what really is happen- ing to you?

Sunday School Lesson Christ the Minister Hebrews 4 :14-16 ; 7 :26-27 ; 9:24-28; 10:11-14. GOLDEN 'IEXT: -- Ile is able al- so to save theist to the uttermost that came unto God by him.—Heb- 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 11th 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 done. * * * But his faith and outlook 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 His person." \Vith 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 11:39-4O). * * * But what of priestliness and sacrifice in the Jewish religion? The writer's answer is that Jest is a superior high priest, inasmpcl as Ile has offered Himself a sacs rifle, once for all. An insistent question, I think, concerns how, mach of religious faith and prac- tice of today is in the realm of uas fulfilled promise, awaiting the su- preme experience of Christ as "the Minister of better things." �—RELIEVES MISEIflES Q -'• Penetrates deep into bronchial tubes with its sooth- ing medicinal vapors. /Stimulates the chest and back surfaces like a good, warming poultice, Warming, soothing relief—grand relief—comes when you rub good old Vicks VapoRub on the throat, chest and back at bedtime.
