suade valley men not to run down
Pete idaskell, whom they believe is
the culprit they seek, until more
evidence is produced.
CHAPTER XLII
"Then you can't do anything --
leg•ally,"
"But otherwise we —' began the
cattleman,
The rancher brindled like a cat
with its back up and tail fluffed out.
"You've got a nerve telling me
what Nye can't do without bucking
the law l" he roared. "You'rea shin-
ing example of a law-abiding—"
"No matter what I amt" Valdez
an-pped curtly. "I'm asking you to
hold your men in check for forty -
hours. Sabo?"
"And suppose none of them feels
like taking orders from an outlaw?"
Haskell growled.
"Then you can all face the farmer's
guns! Somebody tried to burn out a
farmer named Pringle a few hours
back. And if things had gone the
zN ty they started, after that, at a
farmer's meeting tonight, your bulid-
ings might have been ash piles by
now. And if you had tried to stop
t' em, you mightn't be able to sit
here talking now."
"I've got eight punchers in the
bunkhouse!" blustered Haskell.
"They—"
"Then there would have been nine
dead men. Thirty or more settlers
were ready to ride down here and
burn you out, Haskell."
Haskell stared. "You mean you
Stopped 'em?"
Valdez shrugged. "I'm giving you
orders now. They're for your good,
kor forty-eight hours you and all
cattlemen keep out of the farmers'
valley Sabe? If you don't—"
Through the pen window came
the mud -muffled pound of a gallop-
ing horse. Va:Jez shot a glance out-
side. He could glimpse a rider be-

low, already half out of saddle, By
the wide split skirt he kne the
rider to be a girl, even before she
cried out Haskell's name,
The old rancher was amazed and
alarmed.
"Tim Callan's daughter l" He
thrust his head out of the window.
"Alice t Up here l"
A dark-haired girl moved into the
oblong of light on the ground.
"You've got to come, Mr. Has-
kell t" she cried "Dad's trying to
1; �p a crowd from riding to the
valley. Bartle's brought in more
settlers, and there's barbed wire on
wagons."
"Get home and tell your dad I'nm
coming pronto t"
Haskell spun from the window,
snatched a boot and jammed in his
foot as there came the sound of the
girl's horse racing away.
"You can stop those hot-headed
fools if you try hard enough," Val -
de . said tightly. "You've got to."
"Maybe I can. If not—"
"I will." Valdez slid over the
window sill. "There's a forty -eight-
hour truce on. I told you that."
"Not on you, hombre l" Haskell
snapped. "books like you're dead
set against us cattlemen. That makes
you fair game wherever you're met
up with."
Valdez vaulted lightly through
the window into the blackness. He
was out of sight when Haskell
pounded down the stairs and out
to, the corral . ,
Pete Haskell raced to Tim Cal-
lan's spread in a lather. There he
heard the sorest news he had heard
since the first tobacco farmer had
thrown up a long fence in the south
end of Deep Nater Valley.
"The men have already gone, Mr.
Haskell," the cook told him. "They
all ain't more'n three-four miles
away by now."
Haskell raced on. He must stop
them 1
caught up with thein at Chin
noc Pass, the main entrance to Deep
'later Valley. He rode with gun
in hand, grim determination in his
steel -blue eyes.
"I'm not arguing," he told them.
"But for the last time I'm telling
you that the man who rides this
way and gets by this pinto of mine
does so after he drills me.
"I'll ride with you to town to
Bartle's office," he offered, "provid-
ing you let nue speak to him alone
—and let me get away before one
of you draws a gun on him, I
don't want even a buzzard's blood
on my hands or conscience. Sabe?"
The men agreed to follow the
level-headed Haskell. They turned
their horses' heads toward Gold
Creek.

Ellen Maxon lay shivering with
dread as the man she had once
thought she loved carne storming
up the stairs and to the door of
her bedroom.
He did not even knock. The
knob was twisted, and Clark Weber
stamped into the room and over to
her bedside. She could hear his
breath coming in fast, bitter
snatches,
"Have you been in the barn
loft?" demanded Weber.
Her denial died at sight of what
lay in the palm of his outhrust
hand. It was a hairpin, one of
the rubber kind she used. He
stooped, grabbed up one of her
shoes from where it lay beside the
bed and spat out a curse as he dis-
covered the sole was caked with
moist mud.
"Yes!" Ellen flung at him de-
fiiantly. "I have been in the barn
loft. I set that poor little Mexican
peon free! And you set me free
when you tried to do such a con-
temptible thing as to kidnap him
to try to get gold from his father!
You'll find your ring on the
dresser."
Rage shook him, and his eyes
blazed fire. "You little empty-

New Canadians—Three hundred immigrants to Ontario from Holland arrived in Toronto re-
cently. Most of them are farm folk and will settle in rural sections. Six fine-looking new
Canadians rest on their baggage while waiting for a train to their new home in Owen Sound.

Instead of doubting the affection
of these young men, be intelligent.
They have singled you out to mar-
ry, from all the girls they know—
that proves they love you best,
Remember, though, that when you
marry you'll live together pract-
ically 24 hours out of 24. It is im-
portant that you trust each other.
!Make sure you do. And learn,,• dur-
ing this engagement period, to talk
things over when you don't agree,
each in the spirit of eager corn -
promise.
Have faith in the man you're go-
ing to marry, and let him know it.
Don't fear the future—you cannot
escape trouble, but you CAN learn
how to meet it. Write Anne Hirst

The color experts have come up
with a tip that can be a big help In
malting that long, narrow room look
more livable! They suggest that
such a room can be made to look
wider and shorter by painting the
two end walls a darker color than
the long side walls t By the same
token, square rooms can be given
the illusion of extra length by paint-
ing the side walls in a lighter shade
of the same color as is used on the
end walls.
Advance Notes
From the "Ex."
In five -days recently, Mrs.
Irate Aitken, women's director of
the Canadian National Exhibi-
tion, flew the Atlantic twice and
visited Berlin, Paris and . Lon-
don. She had Exhibition business
to do, as you might guessl It
was nothing short of arranging
to bring Princess Elizabeth's
beautiful wedding dress to this
year's C.N.E,, for one and all
to see. Elwood Hughes, general
manager of the "Ex.," had made
the preliminary arrangements on
his trip overseas. While in Ion -
don, Mrs, Aitken also went to
tea at Buckingham Palace, the
guest of the Ding and Queen. If
you haven't yet got your C.N.E.
-ize list, there's no time lik-
Itow to sit clown and write for
't. Just send along your name

Our readers should be especi-
ally interested in this week's analy-
sis as it is that of the handwriting
of Roy Rogers, king of the cow-
boys and famous motion picture
star.
If you have followed Roy's pic-
ture exploits you will know that
they feature especially his gallant-
ry in protecting the weak and un-
fortunate. His script is written
with light, fine lines, a strong in-
dication -f a spiritual nature which
tends toward idealism and nobility
of thought. Independence is shown
in the letter "d", revealing Roy's
desire to do 'things according to
his own inclinations rather than
those of other people—typical of
the pioneering spirit. Extra large .
loops in his capital letters are also
typical of the adventurous type of
person, always willing to take bold
steps.
The smallness of the writing gives
an appearance of concentration —
a sign of power to focus attention
on the more important issues. In
some of the other letters, having
decided loops with tight knots to
close them, we see tenacity that
will stick to a problem until it
has been solved.
On the whole Roy's writing is
a good illustration of sincerity of
I urpose, really remarkable energy
and a high-spirited perFonility.

What About It?
The team's leading batter had
stepped up to the plate and soundly
smacked the first ball for a two -
bagger with three men on base. The
husband, a rabid fail, turned to his
wife in high glee and shouted: "Did
you see him hit that ball?"
"Well, wasn't he supposed to?"

Daniel Stands By His Convictions.
Daniel 1;8-20.
Golden Text. But :Daniel purpos-
ed in his Heart that h would not de-
file himself r•ith the portion of the
Icing's meat, nor with the wine
which he requested of the prince of
the eunuchs that lie might not de-
file himself. — 1'113i'l 1:8.
Daniel has always been "a boy's
hero". As a lad he was taken a cap-
tive in Jerusalc,n rnd led off to
Babylon, the capital city of a pagan
empire. ]:le was to b- fed with the
portion of the king's meat and with
the wine which lie drank as part of
his preparation to appear before the
king, In such circumstances it
would have bic„t easy to ignore the
teachings of his youth concerning
clean and unclean -alts. But Dan-
iel purposed in his heart that he
would not defile himself. Yet he
was not offensive about it and court-
eously requested' that he and his
companions be testes for ten ays
on a diet which would not be in
conflict wi h his convictions. God
blessed them physically, intellect -
wally and spiritually for this noble
stand. When Huey appeared before
the king, lie found '''at in all mat-
ters of wisdom and understanding
they were ten times better than all
the magicians and astrologers in his
realm.
Bing Nebuchadnezzar %was am-
azed—and convinced. -Por the bal-
ance of thtir school days Daniel
and his companic were permitted
to continue their sii)le diet. With
the courage of convictions Dan-
iel dared to "sta alone” and, even
.in the face of possible danger to
himself, to do what ize had been
brought up to regard as right and
proper.
The pledge of abstinence from all
that defiles was the safe course for
those young visitor to Babylon,
magnificent capital of the greatest
empire then upon t' globe. There
is no wiser course for those, young
and old, living in the present era,
more than two thous id years atcr.
