Synopsis
CHAPTER XXXV: Weber brings
Juanita to his barn and ties her to a
beam. He then enters the home he
shares with his fiancee and her
brother, Ellen and Chet Maxon.
CHAPTER XXXVI
"In other words, it's none of our
affair," said Ellen, with a shrug.
"1 thought we were partners—but it
seems to be in just one business.
This farm."
Weber whirled from the window.
I'm wondering if even that part-
nership wasn't a mistake," he flared
angrily. "Maybe we'd better—oh, let
it wait until to -morrow. I've got
something else on my mind just
now."
"it's evidently in the yard—some-
thing that needs close watching,"
Ellen said sharply.
She started toward the kitchen
door; but Weber reached it first and
held it firmly closed.
"Don't go out there!" he barked,
"You might ruin everything! If
you've got to know --I'm expecting a
visit from the outlaw who calls him-
self El Caballero Rojo."
Ellen's face paled. "You tried
again to—"
"I've set a trap for hint," Weber
said surlily. "It can't fail!! I'll get
him this time all right. Now go to
bed. Both of your"
Chet Maxon bristled. "You'd
shoot an unsuspecting man? You
wouldn't give him a chance to de-
fend himself?"
"An outlaw who tortures men to
death and burns buildings isn't a
man," Webers growled. "He doesn't
deserve a chance."
"You'll fail, and he'll make us pay
for it," snapped Maxon . "You've
gone beyond the limit now, Clark.
In the morning—"
"You can pull out now if you want
to, or if you're afraid," Webber
sneered. "I'11 buy your share in this
place. But right now I intend to
stand at this window and do as I've
planned. Get out! Both of you!"

Ellen nudged her brother, and he
caught her significant look which
Weber did not see.
"Clark's right, Chet," Ellen said,
and sighed resignedly. "El Cabal-
ero Rojo is an outlaw. It's fair to
take him any way it can be done."
She glanced at Weber. "But I don't
see why you expect him to come here,
Clark."
"He'll be here," Weber promised
gloatingly. "For something he needs
pretty badly."
"What?"
Weber looked at Ellen contempt-
uously. Why share his secret with
he, or anyone else? Especially with
Ellen, who had always preached
against his ambitions, and wanted to
tie him down to the dullest, most
poverty-stricken sort of existence.
* * *
Looking at her now, he wondered
why he had ever let her get a grip
on him. Well, that was all over now.
His eyes were open at last. With the
reward money he would get for the
outlaw he could refund what Ellen
and her brother had put up to help
make the first payment on the farm.
An hour has passed in quiet when,
in an upper bedroom, Ellen Maxon
tiptoed to the door and slid into her
brother's room to whisper to him
tensely. Chet Ivlaxon frowned and
shook his head. Chet whispered that
he meant to investigate the barn, but
Ellen flatly vetoed that,
"Clark has gone to -sleep," Ellen
said with finality. "1 can hear him
snoring. But if he awoke and saw
you before the barn door, he would
fire before he was wide enough
awake to see that you were not the
outlaw he's waiting for. IIe can't
mistake me, though, if he sees me—
my hair and skirt. Not in this moon-
light."
Filen had her way and crept down -
stars with less noise than a floating
feather.
Opening the front door by inches,
she closed it cautiously behind her,
and in only minutes tore was in-
side the barn, groping her way up the
draughty stairs to the loft.

At first, the sound of heavy breath-
ing up there frightened her. But she
bravely struck a match, cupped her
hands about it and tried to guide,
its light in a sweeping arc about the
loft. It burned out in her fingers in
her sheer surprise when she saw a
ragged Mexican peon fastened to the
rafters, with blood trickling from
bruised wrists.
"Help me, senorita" Juanita plead-
ed.
Swiftly Ellen Maxon lighted a lan-
tern and started to look for some-
thing with which to cut the stout
rope that bound the youth. An axe,
as blunt as it was nicked and rusty,
finally served her purpose, and with
every sawing motion her anger again-
st Clark Weber grew hotter.
"Who are you?" she whispered
tensely. "Why did Clark—"
"I do not know, Senorita, why the
man you call Clark kidnap me. Un-
less it be that he hopes to get/gold
from my family," Juanita was im-
provising hastily, "Even now he ex-
pects my poor father to come with
that ransom. And I' have warned
that maybe my father also brings a
gun I"
* * *
As she spoke, Juanita unbound
her ankles. She stretched and rub-
bed her numbed flesh, eyeing Ellen,
hoping this young woman would
believe the story.
"Clark told us—my brother Chet
and I—that he had something here
that would lure El Caballero Rojo,"
she said slowly.
qt cannot be me," Juanita said
eagerly. "You are Easterner, no?
You do not know that this outlaw is
always the lone wolf? You ask men
if that is not true. I can go now,
"Go, yes, but carefully!" Ellen ad-
monished, "Clark is at the kitchen
window -,-with a gun!"
Juanita followed Ellen down .the
stairs and waited for word that all
looked safe. Prepared tomake her
dash, Juanita whisperedt
"One does not forget such a fav-
or at this, Senorita. Adios. Madre
de Dios. watch over you." And shm.
was gone like a ghost.

Dog Gets Driver's License—Rover, a cocker spaniel owned by
Alex Janusitis, Montreal newspaperman, sits proudly at the
wheel of an automobile. If a policeman stops him, he can pro-
duce a license authorizing Rover Janusitis to drive a motor
vehicle anywhere in Quebec—which means in Canada, too—
in 1948. Nobody at the license bureau bothered to ask whether
it was for a dog or a man when it was issued.
Your Handwriting
and You Alex -S. Arnott
Accurate Analysis
Dear Mr. Arnott; Your analysis
of my sister's handwriting has been
received by us with a great deal of
interest as it is correct in every de-
tail—almost uncannily so: The art
of being able to read from a few
words written across a page the
personality traits of the writer, must
indeed be an interesting talent. I
would appreciate a frank and as
candid an appraisal of my hand-
writing as possible.
* * *
Your writing shows a well bal-
anced emotional nature and this.
is a strong indication that you do
not give way to emotional tenden-
cies but are inclined to use judg-
ment and consider the advantages
to be gained and the quickest
method of solving a problem. This
feature of your writing indicates
self-possession and complete con-
trol over the emotions. It also
shows you reserved in all matters
pertaining to appeals to the heart
and that sentiment is a sacondary
consideration. With you, it is not
a question of sympathy, but rather
what is best for all, whether it will
pay, and if it is practical.
* * *
Depth of emotion is the next con-
sideration, and this will tell us
whether you carry emotional ex-
periences for a long period of time
or quickly forget them. In your
writing, a tendency is shown to hold
on to experiences of the past with
vivid recollections. Also is shown
a sense of colours with ability to
blend them to advantage. The script
reveals too that you have an ear
for music and appreciate its value
in life:
* * *
There arc times when you arc
very sensitive to criticism and are
inclined to take the remarks and
sarcasm of others too seriously and
are likely to become cool and re-
served. You are inclined to be
clannish and not take too readily to
new friendships, preferring a small
circle of friends to a crowd. This
characteristic makes it difficult for
you to mingle with others with ease.
This does not mean that you are
not friendly. You can be very
friendly but prefer t'o keep others
at a distance when it comes to
choosing pemanent friendships and
associations. e

The woman lion tamer had her
beasts under perfect control. At
her summons the fiercest lion came
meekly to her and took a piece of
sugar out of her mouth. The circus
crowd marvelled — all except one
man.
"Anybody could do that," he
yelled from the audience.
"Would you dare to do it?" the
ringmaster retorted scornfully.
"Certainly," replied the man in
the audience. I can do it just as
well as the lion can."

Sirce the dawn 'f recorded his-

has been a trouble spot. It prob-
ably always will be, at :least until
nations learn how to live together
without aggression or warfare.
.f'or instance, it was aln.ost 2500
years ago — 536 B.C. -- that the
first 50 thousand Jews returned to
Jerusalem after thei. long exile in
Babylon. Yet what happened sounds
— with due allowance for the dif-
ference etween biblical and modern
phrased-gy — like 'something we
might see in • day's newspaper.
Cyprus, King of Persia, had de-
cided to build a temple in Jerusalem
and called for volunteers among the
Jewish exiles to go there and carry
out the project. When the founda-
tion of le temple was laid it was
an occasion for great rejoicing, and
no doubt many speeches were made
about the 'brave new world" that
was to follow.
But mankind was mankind, then,
as it is now. Some of the Israelites
who had ...mained in Palestine, after
the t tribes had been taken into
exile, rad intermarried with the
"heathen". The resulting race, the
Samaritans, had a religion which was
a mixture of worship of idols and that -
of the true God. and when the Sarn-
a ans wanted to assist in building
the temple, their offer was refused,
st, they went to the king of Persia
and succeeded in h ring all work
stopped.

O. What would be the minimum
tiT to a porter for carrying one's
bag?
A. Ten cents is the minimum
tip for one bag. If there are sev-
eral heavy bags, however, and they
are carried quite a distance, the
tip should be more.
Q. When at the table, how should
one remove a seed, a bone, or some
foreign substance from the mouth?
A. Drop it into the cupped hand,
and then place it on the plate.
Q. Is it all right to say, "Pleased
to meet you" when being intro-
duced to someone?
A. No. If one feels disposed to
use an equivalent expression, say,
"I am very glad tc meet you."
0. When calling on a friend,
should a guest smoke without he-
ing invited to do so?

Q. Where should the carving knife
and fork be placed on the dinner
table?
