0,^"^ n SALAM r^ 4., OF REVENGE B Y JACKSON'COLE Synopsis : CHAPTIiR Xll: At the mission, Padre Viiicente tells the Spanish pirl the story o£ the attack on Michael's par- ents, when his father was blindc-il and his mother killed. CHAPTER XIII Juaiiita had just turned to Padre Vincciitc with another question on her lips when there came an inter- ruption. A cowled priest had come across the country from the open doorway. He came up to Padre Bincente, who got quickly to his feet, and spoke in a low %oicc. "1 will attend to it at once," he â- aid to the other padre, and as he moved away he spoke over his shoulder to Juaiiita : "I must see to a certain matter immediately, my son, but you will follow me within a few moments. Come to my oflice, which you know, and I will then show you where you will sleep tonight." Juanita bowed her head and the priest hurried away. The girl sat still for a moment, then got up and start- ed to move restlessly about the courtyard. As she passed the bench where the old man sat, he reached out a hand and detained her. • * * "You must be tired, amigo," he laid gently. "I could not help hear- ing what you and Padre Vincente were talking about. You must sleep now, as he said, but tell me, what do you plan to do tomorrow, young amigo ?" Juanita started, wide-eyed, and then she saw that the man who she had thought had hit cyei fixed on the tower bells was not seeing at all. lie was itarlng through and beyound her. She caught her breath. The man was blind I A blind man I He must be the blind father of whom Padre Vincente had been talking. The father of El Cabal- lero Kojo. For a moment, in the shock of the discovery, she could not speak at all, and he repeated his question: "What do you plan for tomor- row, young amigo?" Jnanita's head went up, though she knew he could not see (he de- fiant gesture, and she spoke firmly: "I am going to return from whence I came to join El Cabal- lero Rojo." she said firmly. "I'.l Caliallero Kojo rides alone," the blind nipii reminded her gent- ly. "Ill- has told mc that," Juanita repli<d spiritedly. 'But he has also •made a rendezvous with meâ€" so he mu.sl want to see me at least once ag:iin." 'i'lu' blind man sighed, "And where is this rendezvous?" he ask- ed. "IK- said it would be in the vic- inity oi Deep Water Valley, for when I left him he told mc he Would li.' luaded for Coronado." The man shook his head. "Did he promise to meet you there?" "No," she admitted reluctantly, in her lc.\v, soft voice. "I3iit 1 will find him." • « * The man whose sightless eyes were still fixed on the dusky heavens slowly shook his head and sighed. "Mariv have thought to find him," he said, "but unless he wishes to be found, the devil himself would fail." "l!ul I will find him!" Juanita in.sisted. "I will know where to find him! For if he should not be *hcrc I have hopes to find him I vfill at once set forth to seek a valley somewhere that is plagued in the same way that my own Paisano Valley was plagued, and sooner or later he will ride that way. He must I" The blind man faltcringly reach- ed out a hand, fumbled a bit, then placed the hand on her ilender young shoulder, "Do you know what was in those saddlebags you brought to Padre Vincente besides money?" he ask- ed. "I did not look," Juanitt said limply. "It was not for m« to pry into business that did not concern me." "There were letters," the blind Man s:iid then, "Letters to the padre, and one to me. And one of those letters did coHcern you. The padre road both of llicm to mc, both let- ters written by Michael while you were asleep in his hideout cave. He wants Padre Vincente to keep you here at the mission until he comes. He says that the outlaw trail is not to be ridden by a girlâ€" and he must be right." Jnanita's face flushed bright crim- son, but she remembered that he could not see, and that only by her tone could he know her anxiety, her perturbation. "iJut 1 must go to him I" she cried. "Why?" asked the blind man. The girl looked about wildly, but got nothing from those blinded eyes. » • * "1 cannot explain it. 1 only know that that is what my heart tells me, and that I must obey." For long moments the blind man did not speak. He seemed to be looking into distant vistas that the girl could not explore. Finally his hand fell on her arm like a benedic- tion. "I think I understand," he said gently. "When one walks in dark- ness, one comes to see with the eyes of the soul. With long years of un- derstanding behind mc, with the blind eyes of a man who knew love to its fullest, I have but one thing to say to you, young scnorita of the soft voiceâ€" follow your heart." She did not speak. So much had been made plain with a few words. She knew ! She knew ! That to fol- low her heart would always take her homing to El Caballero Rojo, the man she loved with all her passionate young Latin nature. The one manâ€" the only man who ever would be in her heart. With a choked cry she turned and sped away, through the door of the mission where a soft lifilit fell. Padre \'inccntc was in the cell- like office vhen she arrived there. He looked up at her iind smiled, but at what he saw in her face the smile vanished, "So you know," he said simply. "The man of blindness you met out- side has told youâ€" the man you must know is Miguel's father. He has told you of the letters that were written, and that we know yon arc a girl. But it is Miguel's wish that you should' be cared for here until he comes. Qtiarteri have been prepar- ed for you. You shall stay here, as he wishes," And beneath the flash of stern- ness that showed for a moment in the priest's look Juanita was siU'iit, Slowly she followed him out of the oflice and down the corridor to- ward the room that had been pre pared for her, * * • Michael Valdez spent a good part of the day carefully studying the letters he had taken from Raymond Garvin's safe. From them he learned that an as- sault on another helpless community was being planned. And Garvin would once more have removed his banking business to the new com- munity, and have taken part in the raiding. Well, Garvin was gone now, he mused, and the man would take no part in other raids against in- nocent ranchers and settlers. But his companions who had been with him in the raid on the Pal- dez hacienda still lived! And still El Caballero Rojo did not know exactly who those three men were. Though these letters of Garvin's gave no hint of their iden- tities, they proved the men still liv- ed. Michael's father had always been sure that Garvin was not the head of the trouble that had become a scourge in so many places, but was working under a "big boss" who al- ways had managed somehow to keep strictly under cover. Garvin, as Valdei' father figured the man, had not possessed the mentality to be the head of so sweeping a scheme for eventual empire. (To be Continued) Thei .

ANN£ HIRST There is No Hurry: Don't Marry Now Gtu4^t£at^ "DEAR ANNE HIRST: On my * vacation, I traveled 1,000 miles to * meet the man I'd been correspond- * ing with for nine months. I was * there one week. He has asked * me to marry him, and now I find * myself engaged â€" much to my sor- â- * row. * "He says he loves me, but I do * not love him. He is willing to take a chance on my liking him more as time passes. He is everything that a person could want, and neither of us has been mar- ried before. "Yet after be- ing engaged for two weeks I am' * willing to give back the ring! The * problem is, shall 1 marry under * these circumstances? Or wait and '•' get better acquainted ?

Surely too posi- tive a step to take â- without loveT Let this man start to tfin your af- fection atid your trust, and see ivhether as the months pass you grow lo care more for him, or less. You will zvant to be very, very sure of yourself before you con- sent to marry a man U'ho nill take you 1,000 miles away from your family and all yoiirfriends. F»r this reason alone, go shiv. You are only 30, after alt; some of llie choicest matches I've observed are between couples past that age. Under the circumstances, I expect you zvill feel more comfortable to send him the ring, and ask him to keep it for you until the day you decide to be his ivife. * * * 70 "PUZZLED JANE": Why do you call yourself puzzled? Surely you are wise enough to drop a boy ti'ho Itas caused such scandal among your friends? Even if you were in love, you wouldn't dare see him again after hearing what (you know now) was true. You ore fortunate that you found out what sort he is before your heart became involved! Of course he is charming (some of the Ictvest men are) but how did he use that charm in the instance you knota about? Don't deliberately in- vite temptation. Only fools do that. Among the friends you know, there are plenty of nice lads you can date, and later on you'll meet new ones. Protect your oivn good name by dating only those who are zvorth cultivating, whom your family admires. That is the best ivay to keep out of trouble. » • » TO "HONEY": How could you ex- pect a boy to take you seriously when you ran after him? Nice boys may fall for it for a while, but they don't think of marrying cheap girls. Remember this next time, and let the boy do the pursuing. * * ♦ The strongest of us are some- times tempted to strike. Anne Hirst can explain why it doesn't pay.

Barclay Warren A Call to Right Living I Peter 1:13-23; 4:1-5 GOLDEN -I EXl -Whether there- fore ye cat, or drink, or jvhatso- ever ye do, do all to the glory of (Jod. â€" 1 Corinthians 10 :31. It is often said, "It doesn't mat- ter what you believe, as long as you are sincere," Peter would not accept such a view. He felt that what you believe, directly influ- ences your conduct. Hence he presents the great Christian doc- trines and uses these as a basis for his exhortations to right living. ♦ » ♦ When Je.'jus began to tell his disciples of his coming sufferings and death and resurrection on the third day, it was Peter w'ho said, "Be it far from thee. Lord: this shall not be unto thee," Matt. 16. How Peter lias progressed! Now he sees that this was foreordained before the foundalion of the world. The blood of Christ, more preci- ous than silver or gold, is the price of our redemption. Having been born again and purified we ought to love one another with a purs heart fervently, Peter does not say, "Do the best you can," He sees that man must have a new beginning through faith in the Christ who died, rose from the dead and ascended in glory. Peter calls the church to huly living. "As he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct!" As Israel was a people chosen from all the nations of the earth to be God's peculiar treasure, so the church is to be set apart from sin unto God. We are to be dtroted and dedicated to Hhn. If w live such a dedicated life our conduct will be in sharp contrast to our past life. We hved "in licentiousness, passions, drunken- ness, revels, carousing, and law- less idolatry." If Peter had just been reading our daily newspaper he could not have given a more accurate description of our world today. ♦ * » Some argue that it is alright for a Christian to drink in moderation. No argument is needed to show that it is Christian to abstain from intoxicating beverages and thus avoid the danger of becoming an immoderate drinker or of influenc- ing (by our e.xample) others who might become drunkards. There are no hazards in abstinence and there is more money to support worthy causes. Nearly everyone will agree that there is more hap- piness, too. We ought to live right because Jesus Christ is coming again. He will judge tlie living and the dead. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
