He tells her that Valdez has asked Padre Vincente to keep here there at the mission for safety. • • CHAPTER XIV .. It was Michael's task to find out who that boss was, who Garvin's othr companions had been in the raid on the Valdez hacienda, and to bring them to book—as he had, brought Garvin to book within hours after he bad learned where the man was To that end he determined to take a part, too, in the new raid that was planned, according to Garvin's letters, This time the evil crew were to descend on Decp Water Valley, over in Arizona. Dizzy thoughts an through Michael Valdez' mind as he read and reread the letters. Words tumbled to fit a jigsaw puz- zle. Rustling, holdups, beef men, Coronado, gambling, Deep Water Valley, Don Attero's Cross. It seemed to lack only one piece. Who was the big boss behind it all? * One letter he separated from the others, which he hid in the cave. He could come back for them when the need arose. His face shone with triuph when he folded that one particular letter and put it in his pocket, a little used pocket from which he would not be likely to pull it out accidentally. For in it was much that he had. been trying to discol et in all these five years on the outlaw trail! Deep Water Valley lay to the north and east of the hideout in the badlands, but when El Caballero Rojo set out his trail led south and west toward Coronodo. Taking the short tut as he did, there were times when the horse was forced to thiead t,etuons ravines and winding trails, But El Cielo negotiated them in a way that would have lone credit to a mountain goat.

Then the lights of Coronado seemed to twinkle an evil invitation M him. It was almost midnight when Val dez rode into the sprawling roister- ing town. It was such a scene, spread before him, as he had bec•me familiar with during his wanderings. Ulit, blazed from a dozen saloons. Otherwise, Main Street was practic- ally deserted, probably because everybody was in "Flash" Conroy s Palace, over which a flamboyant sign blazed, or in one of the smal- ler sal000ns. Valdez turned into the lively stable in the rear of the town's hotel and left El Cielo to the care of the straggly -mustached livery- man who came forward, half asleep Leaving the livery barn, he saunt- ered along the board sidewalk, fin- ally halting before the Palace Ss - loon. He pushed open the batwing doors and stepped into the brightly lighted interior. * BC) Ind the mahogany the bartmd er, who had caught one glimpse of the new arrival's black hair, the charro clothing, and the devil -may - cam Latin swagger, was sud'enlv busy with his cloth, as hz ang'ed down near his heavy shotgun. Val- dez missed none of tlpse actions, althorgh he appeared to be entire ly indifferent He str stia deliberate: ly toward the bar. "Howdy," he 'laid shortly. "Is Flash Conroy around?" "Yeah," said the bartender. "He's over at the poker table " Michael Valdez knew whom he wanted, where he was headed.

He was moreover, a man who was said to follow in the wake of the notorious Caballero Rojo wherever that leg- endary red-haired avenger tnight choose to set his path. The gambler, Flash Conroy, with- out appearing to notice the approach of the stranger in his saloon, was wondering if the appearance here of this Mexican, Michael Valdez, meant that El Caballero Rojo was some- where in the neighborhood. There had never been any actual proof to connect the two men but the coincid- ence of their appearance in the same place at the same times had in many men's minds ceased to be coincid- ence. Conroy, however, gave no out- ward evidence of the thoughts that were swiftly milling around in his mind. His gambler's poker face never changed aspect. For all that anyone could see, he was interested only in the poker hand which he was scanning. Flash was a fine figure of a man in his black broadcloth, stiff -bosom- ed while Shirt and black string tie— garb that was almost a uniform with men of his ilk. Atop his sleek dark head was a broad black sombrero, and he wore blade tooled Mexican riding boots. Though his long black coat bid it, a business -like six gun hung at his waist in a well-oiled holster and, according to the time-honored cus- tom of gamblers all through the West, a derringer that could drop into his hand on the instant was up his sleeve. Neither gun Wits there for orna- ment. Many a man who was now re- posing in Boot Hill might have testified to Flash Conroy's speed of hand and eye—before that same snood sent him there.

And * it depends largely upon the friends * she makes. Usually she is one of * a group who enjoy each other, who * go about together for dances, sports, movies, evenings in each others' homes. They exchange confidences, trust each other, and there's. seldom a dull evening for any one of them. But alas, this is not always true. * Teen years can be desolate. Some * girls, less or more mature than * those they know, find themselves * lonely and unpopular. They strug, * gle hard to he friendly, but all * they get is the cold shoulder. And * they are miserable, wondering * why. * Osie girl of 16 finds herself * without a single girl friend. "Girls * seem to like me, but after awhile * they don't want me arotind. I'm * a junior now,. and I'm going to be * married after I graduate. But '4' these years in school are going to * be dreadfully hard if I don't suc- * ceed in molting friends. 1 was al- * va35 popular with boys, but I * don't want to be now I'm engaged. * I do want girls to like me, * though." • HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS It is not easy for one who does not know a girl to put a finger on the reasons othergirls shun her. But a few suggestions n:ay show her where she has failed. Then she can do something about it. Be unselfish. Admire a girl's now dress, or the way she's doing her hair this fall. Asim her out on a double date; if she hasn't a boy friend, ask your own to bring one along. Pay your own way when yore two go to the movies or drop in for a soda. Sometimes offer to treat her Be loyal. Never betray another girl's secrets. If you show her you are interested in whatever she wants to confide instead of always think- ing about yourself), she will trust you. Never gossip about her, nor et iticiste other girls to her. The word gets around, and you can't afford that reputation. You ant always find sbmething complimentary to my about another girl, and nothing will endear you more to Mon all. .c. invite a girl you like home with you for the night or for a week end. When she •returns the invitation, pit your best foot forward with her parents. The time to make friends is in these younger years. And all your life you will need girl friends. Boys will come and go, but a loyal woman friend is yaur friend for life. * 5 5 There's no need for any girl to tack girl friends, if she's willing to admit her own shortcomings.

Barclay Warren Building Christian Character 2 Peter 1 5-11; Jude 17-21, 24, 25 GOLDEN TEXT—As ye have there- fore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and 'built up in him.—Colossians 2: 6-7. The first requisite in building is a good foundation, Peter says, 'His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and god- liness—that—you may escape the corruption that is in the world be- cause of passion, and become par- takers of the divine nature." Becoming a Christian is not a huinan attainment but a work of God in the heart. There must be a purging from the old sins before Christian character can be built. But the entry into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is just lite beginning. Growth and development must fol- low. Faith, virtue, knowledge, self- control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love are characteristics which will become more and more prominent, The Christian life is not static. Progress is the keyword. If we are not daily becoming more like Christ, decay has begun. We have turned our eyes away front Christ and are walking in darkness. On whorn does the responsibility OUCH! MY HEAD! You can quickly relieve the pains of nouralgint bad days, ICI grippe, *Ii, with for success in the Christian life de- pend ? It rests partly on the indi- vidual. "Give diligence to make your calling and election , sure." "Keep yotirselves in the love of God." No one is a Christian against his will. We must put our best into it. Nothing 'less will secure an abun- dant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord arid Saviour jesus Christ. But we cannot succeed in our own strength, The devil is a great ad- versary. The spirit of the world beckons to the sensual life. Our keenest striving is insufficient, Jude, after warning of the mockers in the last time and exhorting us to build on faith and pray, closes on this triunmhant note: "Unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the preseece of his glory with exceed- ing joy . . ." I was walking to Sunday School with my young daughter. 1 -ler feet slipped on some ice. Her hand stiff- ened in mitte. I grasped it tightly. She did not fall. So as I walk with God, Satan has many pitfalls. But my hand is in God's 'tend. I mean to keep it there. It is not my hold on God that upholds me, but His great hand on mine. • THERE'S ONE rittivo poi?
