CHAPTER XXXVIII Lande,
believing that a threatening note
posted on Bartle's door is a hoax,
does not go to the Pringle farm.
That farmer, meanwhile, is looking
for Bartle.
' Chapter XXXIX
As he shrugged into his coat his
fingers t..uched tl butt of his gun.
It was as if so le sti ye drug had
fired his imagination. Dark night.
Lonely trail. Dead men's tongues can-
not wag. They covered a mile in
gloomy silence then Pringle asked
jerkily:
"You think there'll ever be real
justice here for tob: men?"
'There certainly 1.111 be," Bartle
soothed. "Some day one of these
cattlemen will show his guilt so
plain that even Sheriff Lande will
have to do something about it."
"Did you ever think i'. might not
be beefinen who are trying to ruin
us, to run us out?"
"Lord, nol Who else—"
"I don't know. The idea just kind
' hit me now. Before Steve Ran-
som died he said he saw just one
man run away from his shed. Mike
Chapman saw just one. Burr Ald-
man saw one. Seems like cattlemen,
from all I've learned about 'em
since I come West, most always
ride in bunches, and when they
make up their minds to do some-
thing they go ahead with a whoop
and a ' oiler."
* • * •
No man ever signed his death
-warrant with greater certainty than
Chris Pringle did with those words.
Suspicion was the last thing in the
world that Bartle could tolerate.
For, if by any chance, in spite of
his vigilance, the tobacco men and
the cattlemen should get together
to compare notes, there would be
investigations and ..
"Kind of late with such conclu-
sions, en't you, Pringle?" he
drawled.
"I guess. Reckon I'll ride back
i town with you later and kind
of nose around. It ain't always
detectives that dig up things that
might lead to somebody who has
never ever been suspected or—"
Bartle pulled back hi^ horse. His
hand dipped swiftly into his hol-
8ter. His fingers gripped the gun
butt. Pringle would have died at
that moment—but the eerie cry
Of a nearby mountain cat tore at
, artle's ears, rasped his nerves.
But the respite was short, Bar-
tle's gun roared once. Pringle's body
quivered, slid sideward in the sad -
ale. His horse bolted In fright as
the farmer fell and lay twisted in
the mud and melting sleet of the
trail.

As if to speed him on his way to
eternity, there came again t h e
ghastly • cry of 'a prowling cat.
Hastily dismounting, the killer
rolled" Pringle over on his side.
Satisfied his work had been done
thoroughly, he turned back to his
horse. One foot was ready to hoist
hint to the leather when suddenly
the misty form of a rider loomed
up in` the gloom of the trail.
It was Juanita. •
Before Russ Bartle was hardly
more than aware that a rider was
approaching, Juanita had acted in-
stantly. In a flash her gun was
boring into his middle.
"This time, hombre, you do not
ride water and escape me," she
said coldly. But her •heart was
pounding. If she could, take this
man prisoner to Valdez, El Ca-
ballero Rojo might wring the truth
from him.

"You' don't think 1 killed this
man?" Bartle blustered, his eyes.
on the weapon it the peon's steady
hand, and inwardly cursing because
his own was back in his holster.
"Him I am sure about," Ju-
anita said evenly. "But the sign
of your horse tell me you are the
torturer who nailed a man to Don
Attero's Cross—that you are the
one who killed the farmer at the
burning shed. Si! You write your
name where you gol It is too bad
that unly now yqu know that the
toe -piece on the front left shoe of
your horse is not evenly worn
down."
"Don', be .a fool!" exploded
Bartle. "Somebody fired at us from
those bushes in back of you. From
the glimpse I caught I thought it
was some cow -puncher — but it
may have been youl See for your-
si'8 how easy it is to shoot from
those bushes and not be seen,"
Juanita did not move. "Once to-
night I make the big mistake," she
said. "I do not look behind me,
Senor Murderer. You turn around.
Place your hands behind your back.
I tie you first, I look behind me,
si when you are in a safe place
and I know who you are."
So this Me !can fellow didn't
know who Russ Bartle was! There
was still a chance for th,, banker
to save his reputation — and his
neck,
* * *
"Tie and be hanged!" stormed.
"But you'll pay for this. I'll have
Sheriff. L. • ' hunt you down the
minute you find out what a fool
you've been,"
Juanita was unimpressed. Experi-
ence had taught her to believe her
eye in preference to her ears. -She
took the rope that hung on Pedo's
saddle and advanced on the man.
She had just throw- a loop
around the prisoner's wrists when
suddenl1 Bartle spun around like
a beast at bay, snarling. He flayed
Juanita, his fists lashing out, driv-
ing the slight girl backward re-
lentlessly, not swerving even when
Juanita's weapon spoke and flame
singed his coat sleeve.
Juanita stumbled and fell. Bar-
tle flung himself upon her, pum-
meling her with one fist while the
other sought to snatch her gun.
But as his victim's struggles weak-
ened, Bartle remembered the gun
in his own holster. Yanking it out,
he swung the barrel to within in-
ches of Juanita's chest. His finger
tightened convulsively on the trig-
ger.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Is it obligatory for a guest to
speak to her hostess before leaving
a reception?
A. Yes, she should express ap-
preciation of the pleasure she has
had, unless it is a very large affair
and the hostess is engaged in re-
ceiving or entertaining other guests.
Q. Is it all right to say, "Mr,
Jones, shake hands with Mr, Smith"
when introducing two men?
A. No, this expression is very
crude. If the two men are well-
mannered, they will shake hands
without being instructed.
Q. Is it permissible to break
crackers or bread into the soup?
A. No, this is not good form,
Q, Wo-ld it be all right for a man
to buy an engagement ring before
he proposes to the girl?
A. No, unless he think,. there is
no possibility of the girl refusing
him. Usually, though, the girl should
have something to say about the
choice c f the ring, its style, color,
and so forth.
Q. How should one place the
knife and fork after finishing a
course at the dinner table?
A, Parallel across the plate, with
the handles to the right.

create more dancers and more dance audiences.

Direct Approach
Dear Mr. Arnott: 1 'ind your
column extremely interesting and
would appreciate a frank analysis ••
of my handwriting.
* * *.
Your handwriting shows that you
have an investigative nature, one
that is not satisfied with superficial
answers but must delve into the
facts and pry out the right solutions.
You take a direct approach to
those things which interest you and
it is hard for you to change a thought
once you have it in your mind. This
makes you emphatic and abrupt in
speech, which may be inter•
preted by others as stubbornness,
but you may rest assured that it
is nothing but directness of ap-
proach and frankness. There.
signs of reticence, which indicate a
reserved and secretive nature. You
are inclined to withhold information
and to reserve your feelings. From
this I gather that your frankness
is not to be Misinterpreted as talka-
tiveness,
* r *
Although it may seen obscure
to others, as an individualist, you
do not do things according to
accepted standards but rather desire
to sweep aside conventional things.
You ',ave ability to size up per-
sonalities as you have a sharp,
penetrating mind which sees things
in an instant.
A sensitive nature is indicated._
which means that you take to heart
the criticism and remarks of others.
Keep in mind that you are very
sentimental and exceedingly proud
of your person, especially your con-
duct, and it is this feature of your
personality that is hurt.
Vanity is strong, 'Which means
your confidence is rather high and
this tendency to over -confidence

Sunday School Lesson
Ezra Leads a Religious Revival
Nehemiah 8: 1.3;-5-6, 8; 10; 28-32.
Golden Text — But be ye doers
of the' word, and not hearers only,
deceivingyour own selves. — 1: 22.
Nehemiah finished -building the
wall of Jerusale ...just before, the
annual Feast 'of Trumpets; and to
commemorate the great occasion the
people gathered together in the
street before the water gate, and
asked the priest Ezra to read from
the Book of the Law of Moses.
All morning until, noon the great
congregation stood in silence while
Ezra and his helpers read and ex-
pounded the Word of God; and al
the finish Ezra blessed the Lord,
and the people, responding "Amen,
Amen, Amen" bowed their heads
and humbly worshipped their Cre-
ator.
As always follows careful study
of the Scriptures, understanding
and enlightenment came to these
worshippers. They realized how,
during the past years, they had al-
lowed themselves to fall into sin-
ful' habits,
inful'habits, and solemnly resolved to
do better in the future. They made
a Covenant among them that they
would no longer intermarry with
the heathen people in whose midst .
they lived. They also vowed- that
Sabbath -breaking shoudcease
among them; and that if the pagan
people offered food or other merch-
andise for sale on the Lord's Day,
they would on no account -do- bus-
iness .on that day.
Another thing agreed among them,
was that, in addition to their regu-
lar tithe, each of then would an-
nually d;nate a certain sum — one
third of a shekel'— for the service of
the, House of God. In brief, those
people in long -ago -Jerusalem were
not only hearers of The Word —
they became doersof it also, setting
an example which .many of us
ntight well profit by today.
