CHAPTER XLI
"The last thing I want to do
is harm any of you, or any cattle-
men — yet," El Caballero Rojo said
cri.,pl.e. 'You" — his eyes singled
out Nelson — "you know something
of me. Come here. Pick up that
box, and don't let a finger get in-
side of it, Sabe?"
The old man moved carefully as
he obeyed.
Valdez looked at no one in par-
ticular. "You gents might pick up a
gun when I turn my back," he said.
"All right — as long as you don't
t it. If you do, you'll need a new
leader."
"And if the don't use one?" in-
quired a young farmer.
"Your leader will be back —
pr..nto. Unharmed, But when he
leaves here with me I demand that
for forty-eight hours not one man
of you will lift a hand against any
cattleman for any reason, Is that
plain?"
* * *
"We've got a right to protect
ourselves," old Nelson protested.
"The law does nothing for us
an —"
"The law is sometimes like a
mole, amigo," Valdez said tightly.
"It often cannot see the clearest
things. We won't palaver about
that, In forty-eight hours you might
get information that will open your
e: ; — and make you glad I kept
your hands clean of blood."
"We'd feel a heap better if we
knew whether , our for us or against
Us," the old man muttered.
"I'm with you," El caballero Rojo
said grimly.

El Caballero Rojo hastily left the
crowded room.
When he and the old man were
almost out of sight of the house,
Valdez called a halt, He whistled.
There came a slosh of hoofs in
the mud and the smell of a horse.
The animal was all but invisible.
"That's all for you, Mr. Nelson,"
Valdez said, mounting. "I thought it
best to have sort of a—er—chaper-
one this far. Now you can go back,
and you'll have no trouble if you
keep those men of yours quiet for
two d..ys."
Suddenly the old man was alone.
He heard retreating hoofbeats, but
saw nothing. When he returned to
the farmhouse he was smiling.
"Forty-eight hours," Nelson said.
"He'll do more than we could —
faster, better or I don't know a.
real man when I buck against one.
Meeting adjourned."
Hiding in a thicket the heavy box
'of gung he had taken away from
the tobacco farmers, Valdez cover-
ed them with brush. He spent a few
seconds in silent debate. Should he
continue his search for Juanita?
Or make the most of darkness in
t other effort to uncover the rea-
son and the source of the valley
outrages?
He decided in favor of the latter,
for it was certain that Juanita's dis-
appearance could best be solved by
daylight. But even as he made his
decis' n he realized he hadn't half
: own until now how much this
strange, half wild girl had come to
mean to him. He had done his best
to keep any such thoughts from
him, but they were there now in
full strength. And the thought that
she might be in danger filled him
with the unfamiliar sickness of fear.
He mounted El Cielo, heedless of
the sleet -covered saddle, and con-
fident that the sure-footed ani-
mal could still carry him to the
Half Circle H Ranch, and Pete Has-
kell.
The ranchhouse alone showed
signs of life, and there only one
room, the second floor, seemed
to be occupied. Hastening to the
house, he climbed swiftly up to the
second story. Then he was on his
stomach, edging toward the ranch -
man's bedroom. He peered -in.
through the window. The lamp
was on the table between door and
bureau. Haskell was on the edge
of the bed, drawing off his boots,
his back toward both window and
lamp.
* * *
Valdez knew that if the sash
should be slowly raised a cold
draught would quickly bring the
cattleman face about. And Haskell
had not yet unbuckled his holster
and gun.
The very second the liullet-
studded belt left Haskell's fingers,
however, Valdez flung up the sash.
He was inside the roo . as soon as
the cowman whirled.
"Sit down not too close to your
gun," Valdez said softly,
"It's a habit of mine to get both
sides of any story," El Caballero
Rojo said quietly.
"About the ructions going on in
the valley, I reckon?" Haskell's eyes
were thoughtful.
"Being a kind of boss on this
range you should be able to answer
for all the cattlemen in these parts,"
said Valdez.
"None of us know anything about
an of the fires and killings," Has-
kell growled.
"But you held a war counsel about
dawn yesterday morning," Valdez
reminded him.
Haskell reddened. "Sure we did.
And we decided that if the tobacco
men fence off Deep Water River in
the north end of the valley we'd tear
it down, every blessed time they put.e
the sticks up."
"Won't Bartle, who owns the land,
meet you halfway?"
"Halfway?" Haskell swore fere•
ently. "He won't give us an inch. We
offered to buy the north end of the
valley for what it's worth, but he's
asking a road agent's price."

Jane Wyman -'s
Script Analysed
Today's handwriting comes from
Miss Jane Wyman, well-known mo-
tion picture star.
Notice the letter "5" in the word
Jane. See how spacious the loops
are, especially the upper one. This
indicates a person who can meet
others and make friends easily,
having ease of adapting herself to
new conditions. She understands the
shortcomings of others and en-
deavours to smooth thingsoverra-
ther than to pursue an unpleasant
issue. The height of the "J" above
the writing line is almost equal to the
depth of the loop below This is a
good sign of the balance between the
idealistic mind and the desire for
materialistic things.
The Greek letter "5" is a rarity in
any handwriting. This letter is not
written like a small "e" but is very
much like a capital letter. This tells
me that the writer enjoys cultural
pursuits - and is at Home with all
things which elevate the mind. Art
and painting interest Miss Wyman
for she has natural talent to blend
colours.
The large hooks on each end of the
script reveal tenacity and the power
to hold on until success has been
reacher!.

The Temple in the Nation's
Life
Ezra 3:10-13: Psalms 84:1-2;.
Ezekiel 11:16; 37:26-28.
Golden Text 0 Come, let us
worship and bow down; Let us kneel.
before the Lord our Maker.—Psalms
95-: 6.
Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob presented their .offerings, and
worshipped. God in the great out-of-
doors, under the opencanopy of
heaven. liposes, on divine instruction,
built a moveable tabernacle in the,
wilderness. Later, .when Israel enter-
ed the promised land,' this was re-
placed by a magnificent temple in the
reign of Solomon.' Nebuchadnezzar
destroyed this place of worship in
587 B,C. About 50 years after, the're-
turned exiles laid the foundation of a
new temple. It was an occasion of
great rejoicing... --But -while many
shoutedfor joy, the older men, re-
calling the grandeur of the former
temple, wept because, in cottiparison,
the new one was greatly inferior.
* * *
Every disappointment can prove a
blessingif we have God. Those who
had been taken into captivity had
learned that God could be worshipped,
even`aTey from the temple at Jeru'
salem. There had been a spirtualizing
of their worship. God had spoken to
them through the prophet- Ezekiel,
saying, "Although I' have cast thein
far off among the heathen, yet will
I be to them as a little sanctuary."
* * *
The church edifice, be it simple or
ornate, ought to be a place where we
meet with God. For that reason it
should have -a large place in our life.
Assembling with others with the ex-
press purpose of worshipping can
prove a great blessing to every one of
us. God must not be confined to par-
ticular buildings designated fes that
purpose. It must be an habitual atti-
tude of soul. We -must walk and talk
with God day by day and hour by
hour. Thus by our daily life we will
express the idea of true worship.
