Synopsis
Chapter XLV: Juanita escapes
from the sheriff, Weber. mean-
while, invades L'artle's roost. As he
examines the hooks and letters,
Valdez enters and takes then} away.
CHAPTER XLVI
"I haven't any objections to your
looking at these things," he drawled.
"If you'll give them hack to me and
let me go."
'You have no objections!" El
Caballero Rojo', tang was a sar-
ea stir snort. "Put those books on
that chair beside you. `it -gun on
top. Be careful. Sabe?"
Clark Weber obeyed. He watched
the velvet -clad maul stalk to the
chair. \Weber's every nerve and
muscle were under rigid control,
for he knew that when he moved
it must be with the speed of light.
He saw one gaum!eted hand seize
paper and the other move for the
top ledger.
"Now" he told himself.
Pete Haskel rode down Gold
Creek's main street flanked by Luke
Wallace and Tint Callahan, and
with the cavalcade of ranchers be-
hind then} They saw that the
shade in Bartle's living quarter..
was drawn, and that a light glowed
behind it.
Haskell pulls1 up his horse. "It
was agreed that I speak to Bartle
alone" he reminded.
"Vets" Wallace nodded. "I'll ride
herd on the boys—but not far from
the bank. Get on with it, Pete.
Good luck—for L'artle's sake."
The range veteran got from his
horse and strode toward the bank,
eyes lowered and chin down. Sher-
iff Lan le would certainly be on his
neck alter this night's work. It
hurt the cowman to think that
Lan de would move heaven and
earth --yes, at peril to the governor,
if need be—to get the noose around
the neck of the cowmen's ringleader.
He raised his hand to knock at
Bartle's outside hank door. The
hand dropped. He taped, then
blinked.

the figure he saw through the glass
door that stood out more than the
scarlet neckerchief the man wore.
That was the wisp of smoke curl-
ing and fading about the ceiling.
It came from a gun in the hand
covered by a glittering gauntlet,
Halfway down the stairs was the
body of a man. Papers littered the
steps. Even now the scarlet -mask-
ed apparition was scooping them
up—and at Haskell's elbow stood
Luke Wallace, demanding to' know
why the cowman could not get in.
Then Wallace saw! .1 -lis hand
swooped on his gun.
"El Caballero Rojo!" he yelped.
"Wait!" Haskell commanded in
an angry whisper. "Plenty import-
ant, those papers, or he wouldn't
expose ,himself like that to get
them."
"That's not Bartle on the stairs,"
rasped Wallace. "I'm beginning to
see things! This gent in the velvet
and things is in cahoots with Bar-
tle! He's the one who has been
killing and burning in the valley,
for Bartle, curse hint!"
"Quiet! Let's see what happens."
"See, your Aunt Maria; Stop
hint! He's getting back upstairs—
he's getting away!"
Wallace whirled, ran to the other
ranchers, barking orders
"Form a ring around the build-
ing! A pair of you stand guard at
each trail out of town. Eal Cabal-
lero Rojo is in the bank!"
It must have been a sixth sense
that warned Michael Valdez of the
closing jaws of a trap. For even °
as he hurriedly glanced at the
ledger of the landowner he heard
Pete Haskell's voice. Split seconds
were precious time. And even as
Luke Wallace ripped out his orders,
Valdez went over the sill of the
window he had left open.
Clutching the edge of the porch
roof, he swung himself into space
and dropped to the ground. Bent
almost double, looking more like a
giant round ball than a man run-
ning, he disappeared behind the
stable in the rear of the bank.
Two ranchers came pounding out
of the street toward the rear of the
bank, shouting as they saw the open
window. 'Hastily vaulting into the
saddle, Valdez turned the roan
quietly, watching the two ranchers.
Guns in hand, they stood watching
Bartle's open window, waiting for
the intruder to emerge from it to
the porch roof where thw could
feed him lead.
Swiftly Valdez was picturing the
four ways out of Gold Creek for a
man who must ride hart Death
lurked in all of them.
North would be the shortest way
to safety. If he could escape the
bullets of this pair now within a
stune's throw of him, he had an
even chance to get out of town
alive.
# rancher behind the bank whirl-
ed about to face the stalk in the
barn. To the other he whispered;
"hear somebody back there.?'
"Thought I heard—"
A gun llesv up. It cracked. Once
—twice—again. The other rancher
blazed four shots at a streaking
rider who looked fantastically like
something sailing wild in a gale,
Only four flashing legs proclaimed
it at least part horse, and the whole
wraithlike object, dimly aglitter,
disappeared behind another building
as suddenly as it had come from be-
hind the bank stable.
A cry went up in the street. From
the north two ranchers rode swiftly,
gusts ready, headed for the bank. In
an alley three buildings away from
Bartle's bank, Michael Valdez
touched his blue roan gently with
his heels,
"North, pronto" he muttered.
Gold Creek hummed behind him.
Over his shoulder be saw riders
joining the eddy at the bank door.
Their angered yells still echoed in
his ears when the lights that were
still aglow in the town were blotted
out by distance. And no threaten-
ing thud of hoofs sounded behind
hint,
Back to tine cowtown Luke Wal-
lace, who by virtue of having taken
abrupt *summand had superseded
Pete Haskell as the guiding hand of
the ranchers, had heard the guns
bark behind the bank,

Your Handwriting

Musical Talent
And Handwriting
L'lear Mr. Arnott.:
I am thinking of following
musical career and wish to have
frank analysis of my handwritin
as regards musical ability.
Musical ability is such a rare
quality that the term itself is diffi-
cult to define. The Handwriting an-
alysts have worked on this problem
for years and have not succeeded
in discovering elements in writing
leading to definite clues of musical
talent. Handwriting of well-known
musicians 'has not enlightened us,
for each shows such a variation
that it is difficult to compare qual-
ities of one Musical genius with
another.
We know that most musicians
have an unusual sense of spiritual
interpretation and this is shown b• -
frequent breaks between letters.
These breaks are known to the
graphologist as indicating intuition
and spiritual sense, But such indi-
a
a
g
cations do not necessarily mean
that the writer has musical 'iffy
but it night be the basis for natural
inclination to understand music.
Your writing has these breaks be-
tween the words. This and other
indications reveal a spiritual stature
with a sense of rhythm, Your de-
termination to succeed is well rep-
resented in the heavy downstrokes
of the letter "g" and the long and
firm crossing of the "1"."
Frankness, imagination, sense of
responsibility, and definiteness of
thought are also revealed.

How Can 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I determine what
the final color will be when dyeing?
A. When dyeing red over yellow
the final shade will be orange; blue
over red will be purple; green over
blue gives a blue-green. Light col-
ors may be dyed darker, but dark
colors cannot be dyed a lighter,
shade unless a dye remover is used.
Always remember that the original
color plus the dye used equals the
final shade.
Q. HOW can I render fat:
A. Cut into small pieces or run
through the food chopper, Then
melt in the upper part of the double'
boiler. Strain through cheesecloth,
laid in a wire strainer.
Q. How can I renuwe -crutches
from silver?
A. Purchase a small quantity of
putty powder, put it into a saucer
and add just enough olive oil to
make a paste. Rub this paste on the
silver with a soft flannel cloth, then
polish with a chamois and the
scratches will disappear. .... ...•
Q. How can I prevent having
lumps of flour when mixing batter?
A. By adding tate salt to the
flour before wetting, By pour.ng
flour into the liquid, instead of liq-
uid into the flour, and beating it
with a fork.

Yes.,; And Temperaments
* Ordinarily, it is well that a
* man he older than the girl he
* marries, Most girls develop
* earlier than young men do, and a
* difference of fire or even 10 years
* between then} it not, in my opin-
* ion, too great, l man nearing 30
* should know what he wants. If
* this man wants this girl, he should
* be willing to wait until she is old
* enough to know what she's doing,
* For most girls of 17 think
* through their emotions. They
* fall in love, and so eager are they
* for marriage that they cannot
* weigh such mundane angles as
* temperamental differences. They
* know they enjoy being with a
* certain boy or ratan, and they only
* think Itow wonderful it would be
* to be with him all the time.
Stay With Crowd
* It is almost impossible for girls
* of this age to know their own
* minds. Far wiser it is not to
* enter into any engagement at all,
* to slate others too, stay with the
* crowd, and know the experiences
* which the next few years will
* bring. They will develop, in per-
* sonality and character, rapidly
* during those years; at the end of
* of titent, they will have a bett.r
* chance of knowing what they
* seek in marriage—besides just
* being together.
* So many girls who marry at
18 or 17 regret it in a few years.
* Housework is never done, babies
* keep them tied down, they can't
* keep up with the husbands they
* adored such a little time ago.
* They miss the good times they
* used to have, and wish with all
* their hearts they could have then}
* again. They mourn their lost
* freedom. So they write me they
* want a dtvorce1
* I do not clams that no girt of
* 17 should starry. Occasionally
* some of them are mature beyond
* their years. They fall In love,
* they marry and raise families,
* and they grow up with their bus-
* bands. But the percentage of
* such mal•riages that succeed is
* too small to advise them.
To "Becky":
Don't be engaged yet. Take at •
least two more years to grow up.
Then you won't be so apt to regret
it. Date this young ratan if your
mother agrees, but date others too
—and save your,prontise to hint un-
til you realize what it means. I
don't believe you do now.
* * *
Girls of 17 should be having fun
—not tie themselves down with
even a promise to starry any one
young ratan. If you are impatient
to be engaged, telt Anne Hirst why.
Maybe she can help. Address her
at 123 -18th Street, New Toronto,
14.

Sunday School Lesson

From Malachi to Christ
Malachi 3:1-5;4;1.2,5-6,
Luke 1:76.79.
Golden Text -Blessed be the
Lord God of Israel; for Ifo hath
visited and redeemed liis people,
— Luke 1:68,
. During this quarter we have been
studying the captivity and return
of the Jews, On Nehemiah's second
return to Jerusalem Old Testament
history closed. The thread is taken
up again by Gospel writers more
than 400 years later,
* I,*
The history of the Jews during
these 400 Years of silence is gleaned
from other sources, For a century
they continued under mild Persian
rule. Then carne the era of Alex-
ander the Great, to whom Jerusalem
meekly surrendered. On his death
the domain was divided. At first
Judea was under the domination
of the Egyptian rulers and then later
of the Syrian kings. One of these
latter, Antiochus Epiltanes, a proto-
type of Ititler, massacred 40,000
Jews and defiled the temple, Revolt
followed and the Jews gained their
independence. Then the Roman Em-
pire arose and they were again sub-
jugated. This was the situation
when Jesus was born.
