"And if the don't use one?" in- quired a young farmer. "Your leader will be back — pr..nto.

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."

Arnott 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!. �(�Lt Anyone vrishfnp a more complete analysis please send self-addressed stamped envelope to Alex S.

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. e Advance Notes From the "Ex." One hundred dollars somebody's going to win—and it might be you!
