CHAPTER Xv'iri "But' I have decided to go with you. senor," the girl said siinbly, "Wherever you go, I am' going. Is not this my fight, too? To what bet- ter purt,ose could I devote niy life? I hate nothing else to live for," "Iiut you still don't understand," Valdez told her a little desperately, "I sin going now to Deep Water 'Valley, and there ie much trouble there. There will he bloodshed, and you will ht in (Lunger. You must—" "Then we .are going to Deep \Vater \ 11 iy " the girl answered him, aill calmly. and Valdez did not know bow to handle such a situa- tion as now rol7tronted him. Net knowing, there appeared only one thing to do. There seemed noth- ing for it now .but to give in — at least for the tint, being. 1\ ! ca 1l icimei Valdez made no further protest, the girl fell in be- shi him on Pedro. and they rode 011 stiff - o to ctirr;hp.

Once, when there cam, a change 111 government down. there. the new authorities didn't like hint and told hint that he could not be a padre any more and told him he would have to get out. "Ile drifted u;• to Deep Water \'alley with a good many of his former parishioners, and they help - cd him get started again. Just so there would not be any wrangling over property. he kept the title to all the property in the valley that they had settled. But lie's dead now, and without him to rule, it seems that some other folks have got ideas in their heads about the property. That's always a cause of trouble, and there is tr.'•':hie there now — plenty." Juanita nodded understandingly. "And you always seek out trouble," she said. "Is there no longing in your soul for peace?" He did not answer. His thoughts aped to a blind man in a mission far to the south. How could he know that at the same moment the thoughts of the girl who rode be- side him were also of the same man, 'and that her woman's intuition had told her that the blind man's hope 'Was that soon, soon, this son of his Would know peace? "Those letters I took from Gar.- vin, remember?" Valdez said to . Juanita. "They point to the fact that. the big boss of the whole shebang of crooks who have been stealing one range after another is some man somewhere in Deep Water Valley." His lips tightened in the 'same grim mark of determination. "I've got to find that man. "There is another .reason 1 want to go to Deep . Water Valley, too. There is another man there for whom I have been looking for a long time, but not until recently did I. have any idea where to find him, Ile is an hombre by the name of Train Carter. When I get the man who is the moving spirit back of all the devilment, andalso get this Train Carter, I reckon my venge- ance will come to an end — and maybe there will be a chance for some of this peace you speak of, Juanita. It can't be long now. We should get to the valley by tomor- row night, and then—" There was no need ,for further words. The two horses jogged along together. * * Juanita, too, was silenta long time after Michael Valdez had fin- ished speaking. But what thoughts were in her mind would have sur- prised hint. This man beside her, this champion of the oppressed, El Caballero Rojo. had stubbornly re- fused to admit it, but in her heart she knew that he needed her now, and that from now on he would always need her. Their trails had finally converged and merged into one. For she loved him. Subconscious- ly she had known it before she had ever ridden to the Mission of Corp- us Christi, but the blind man who would never again look at the light in a woman's eyes had opened hers until she bad seen clearly into her heart. Site glanced over at the silent man, wondering what thoughts were now beneath his furrowed brow. "And so we go. you and I, side by side," site said in the soft voice that somehow always soothed him, "to Deep Water Valley." Michael Valdez nodded slowly and did not protest this time. For it secured to (tint, without giving the matter conscious thought, that des- tiny must have ordained that this beautiful. half wild young girl should join forces with him in battle for the right. 5 * * All day and alt night El Caballero Rojo and Juanita de Cuevas rode, like two crusaders of old — until the beautiful spot that was Deep Water Valley was reached. It was another garden spot such as Paisano Valley had appeared to the rider of the vengeance trail when Ile had first set eyes on that green valley. Like two ghostly figures the rid- ers moved through the darkened hours, the low murmur of their voices blending with the night sounds. \Vhat they said, and what they planned. as they rode. covered all that could have been said be- tween them had they spent weeks in their planning. El Caballero Rojo 'was well used to making plans swiftly, and to putting then( into action on the spur of the moment. Signals to be used between thein when necessity arose were settled upon. Juanita's eyes, in the clear moonlight, were bright and shining with the spirit of adventure. She would make no mistakes, she had promised herself — and him. They had reached the valley, were at its very entrance, when they saw the huge cross on the top of an eminence that Valdez identified as Mission Ride, by the cross that had been erected there in honor of the deposed priest who had settled with his faithful followers in this lush, verdant spot. And it was some- where in this vicinity, said the letter now in El Caballero Rojo's pocket, that there would be found the two men for whom he was still looking - one them stili a man of mystery.

Sunday School Lesson By Rev, R. Barclay Warren Loyalty Under Persecution Revelation 2:8-11; 7:2-17. Golden Text — Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. - Revelation 2:10. Of 'all the books of the Bible the book of Revelation is the most dif- ficult to understand. If the seven churches addressed in chapters 1-3 symbolize successive periods of church history, then Smyrna repre- sents the time immediately preced- ing the conversion to Christianity of Emperor Constantine. Many Christ- ians were put to' death because they would not renounce their faith. To the persecuted, Jesus sends a mes- sage of encouragement and hope. He remindsthem that He died but is alive again. So, if they are faith- ful, though they die for it, T•Ie will give theta a crown of life. It is not an easy way. Jews assuming to be- long to God are among their per- secutors but, says Jesus, "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer". "IIe that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death." By the "second death" He is refer- Learn to h, a good housekeeper, but don't maps that your one ambi- tion. Being a good companion is as important.

Keep flint proud of you—of you,. appearance, your pleasant disposition, yot:r sportsmanship, your personal integrity. Don't be Jealous. I rust your hus- band implicitly, and let him know you do.

At once her slim form astride the sorrel faded into the brush beside the trail. It was precisely midnight when the cry of a mountain lion shattered the tomblike silence of the valley. 11 floated out on the crisp night air -- a a long -drawn sound, ghastly, and pregnant with warning. It seemed to beg for a like response from some spot in the valley. But there was no answer — at once. Silence, intense and oppressive, gripped the moonlit expanse, making black vel- vet of what would in the daylight hours be a carpet of emerald green. Then carte the answer of another mountain cat.

Those of the innumerable multitude gathered from all nations are clothed in white, waving palms and giving glory to. God and the Lamb. "These are they which came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and. made them white in .the blood of. the Lamb." They are still serving. But how different is 'their lot now. "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living foun- tains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes". * * * The days of persecution are not e ipast. mild forms.
