Synopsis
Chapter. XHI: The Spanish girl,
Juanita, meets Michael's father at
the mission. 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.

Eiglyt hours bad passed before,
far c ft ahead, Michael Valdez saw
a faint glow paint the night. 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.

the new arrival's black hair, the

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.

Young Girl Wants
Real Girl Friends
THE TEEN-AGE life of a young
* girl should be a happy one. 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.

There's no need for any girl to
tack girl friends, if she's willing to
admit her own shortcomings. Per-

Sunday School Lesson
By Rev. R. 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. •

dishes. And she uses it in her baking, too, as a sweetener.
