Synopsis
Chapter XIII: The Spanish girl,
Juanita, meets Michael's father at
the mission. He tells her that Valdez
has asked Padre Vincente to keep
here there at the mission for safety.
. CHAPTER XIV . •
It was Michael's task to find out
who tint boss was, who Garvin's
othr companions had been in the
raid on the Valdez hacienda, and
to bring them to hook—as he had
brought Garvin to book within hours
after he had learned where the man
was.
To that end he determined to take
a part, too, in the new raid that
was planned, according to Garvin's
letters. This time the evil crew were
to descend on Beep Water Valley,
o� er in Arizona. Dizzy thoughts ran
through Michael Valdez' mind as
he read and reread the letters.
Words tumbled to fit a jigsaw puz-
zle. Rustling, holdups, beef men,
Coronado, gambling, Deep Water
Valley, Don Attero's Cross. It
seemed to lack only one piece. Who
was the big boss behind it all?
* t
One letter he separated from the
others, which he hid in the cave. He
could come back for them when the
need arose. His face. shone with
triuph when he folded that one
particular letter and put it in his
pocket, a little used pocket from
which he would not be likely to pull
it out accidentally. For in it was
much that he had been frying to
discotcr in all these five years on
the outlaw trail!
Deep Water Valley lay to the
north and east of the hideout in the
badlands, but when El Caballero
Rojo set out his trait led south and
west toward Corcnodo. Taking the
short cut as he did, there were times
when the horse was forced to thread
t•'rtuous ravines and winding trails.
But El Cielo negotiated them in
a way that would have clone credit
to a mountain goat.

Eigle hours had passed be ore,
far cft ahead. Michael Valdez saw
a faint glow paint the night. i hen
the lights of Coronado seemed to
twinkle an evil invitation to him.
It was almost midnight when Val

ing town. It was such a scene,
spread before him, as he bad bec•me

Otherwise, Main Street was practic-
ally deserted, probably because
everybody was in "Flash" Conroy's
Palace, over which a flamboyant
sign blazed, or in one of the smal-
ler sal000ns.
Valdez turned into the livery
stable in the rear of the town's
hotel and left El Cielo to the care
of the straggly -mustached livery-
man who came forward, half asleep
Leaving the livery barn, he saunt-
ered along the board sidewalk, fin•
ally halting before the Palace Sa-
loon. He pushed open the batwing
doors and stepped into the brightly
lighted interior.

endary red-haired avenger might
choose to set his path.
*. * *
The gambler, Flash Conroy, with-
out appearing to notice the approach
of the stranger in his saloon, was
wondering if the appearance here of
this Mexican, Michael Valdez, meant
that El Caballero Rojo was some-
where in the neighborhood, There
had never been any actual proof to
connect the two men but the coincid-
ence of their appearance in the same
place at the same times had in many
men's minds ceased to be coincid-
ence.
Conroy, however, gave no out-
ward evidence of the thoughts that
were swiftly milling around in his
mind. His gambler's poker face
never changed aspect. For all that
Anyone could see, he was interested
only in the poker hand which he
was scanning.
Flash was a fine figure of a man

Atop his sleek dark head was a

black tooled Mexican riding boots.

waist in a well-oiled holster and,

Young Girl Wants
Red Girl Friends
THE TEEN-AGE life of a young

* it depends largely upon the friends
* site makes. Usually she is one of
* a group who enjoy each other, who
* go about together for dances,
sports, movies,
evenings in each
others' homes.
They exchange
confidences, trust
each other, and
there's seldom a
dull evening for
any one of them.
But alas, this.is
not always true.
* Teen years ca i be desolate. Some
* girls, less or more mature than
* those they know, find themselves
* lonely and unpopular. They strug-
* gle hard to be friendly, but all
* they get is the cold shoulder. And
* they are miserable, wondering
* why,
* One girl of 16 finds herself
* without a single girl friend. "Girls

0 HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS
It is not easy for one who does
not know a girl to put a finger on
the reasons other girls shut. her.
But a few suggestions may show her
where she has failed. Then she can
do something about it.
Be unselfish. Admire a girl's new
dress, or the way she's doing her
hair this fall. Ask her out on a
double date; if she hasn't a boy
friend, ask youn own to bring one
along.
Pay your own way when you two
go to the movies or drop in for a
soda. Sometimes offer to treat her

you. Never gossip about her, ti -or

The time to make friends is in

will come and go, but a loyal woman
friend is your friend for life.

Su tiny Saw I Lesson
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
Building Christian Character
2 Peter 1: 5-11; Jude 17-21,
24, 25
GOLDEN TEXT—As ye have there-
fore received Christ Jesus the Lord,
so walk ye in him: rooted and built
up in him.—Colossians 2: 6-7.
The first requisite in building is a
good foundation. Peter says, "His
divine power has granted to us all
things that pertain to life and god-
liness—that—you may escape the
corruption that is in the world be-
cause of passion, and become par-
takers, of the divine nature."
Becoming a Christian is not a
human attainment but a work of
God in the heart. There must be a
purging from the old sins before
Christian character can be built.
But the entry into the Kingdom
of Jesus Christ is just the beginning.
Growth and development must fol-
low. Faith, virtue, knowledge, self-
control, steadfastness, godliness,
brotherly affection and love are
characteristics which will become
more and more prominent, The
Christian life is not static. Progress
is the keyword. If we are not daily
becoming more like Christ, decay has
begun. We have turned our eyes
away from Christ and are walking
in darkness.
On whom does the responsibility
OUCH!
MY HEAD 9
You can quickly relieve
thepains of neuralgia,
bad days, 1a grippe,
etc., with
for success in the Christian life de-
pend? It rests partly on the indi-
vidual, "Give diligence to make
your calling and election sure,"
"Keep yourselves in the love of God."
No one is a Christian against his
will. We must put our best into it.
Nothing less will secure an abun-
dant entrance into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
But we cannot succeed in our own
strength. The devil is a great ad-
versary. The spirit of the world
beckons to the sensual life. Our
keenest striving is insufficient. Jude,
after warning of the mockelrs in the
last time and exhorting us to build
on faith and pray, closes on this
triumphant note : "Unto him that is
able to keep you from falling, and
to present you faultless before the
presence of his glory with exceed-
ing joy ..."
I was walking to Sunday School
with my young daughter. Her feet
slipped on some ice, Her hand stiff-
ened in mine. I grasped it tightly.
She did not fall. So as I walk with
God, Satan has many pitfalls. But
my hand is in God's hand. I mean
to keep it there. It is not my hold
on God that upholds me, but His
great hand on mine.
