This he always did when arriving in any hitherto une xplored section of the country. Ahways at was necessary for him to find a Wideont which it would be difficult for others to find, and to which it would he equally as difficuit to trail Wim. © He had found such a place in , the voueh country that-lay on that _ part of the line dividing Paisano "Watley from the badlands, shortly before he had entered the valley itech. 5 It was not a great distance away, but in a lend as different from the lush beauty of Paisano Valley as dry from night. * . . Valdez had sport one whole day Lefore entering the valley in tinding just thie spot which would serve his purpose as a bideont.

He sud- - denly felt.an unaccustomed lump in his throat, aud just™as suddenly the blood was racing through his veins as he listened to Juanita's clear, low. contented laughter, and felt her slight, willowy bady in the tattered peon's clothes close to him, El * * As innocently as a child Juanita was letting herseli relax, for she felt so safe now--safe, with EI Ca- ballero Rojo to whom she had so naively sworn allegiance. So she leaned back against his, shoulder, with his arms around her, in order to hold El Ciclo's reins. 2 With an uncomiortable fecling he could not understand, Michael Val- ders set her vpright, as if to settle saddle. He felt her quiver a little, as though she feared that in some way she could not 'understand she had displeased him. Then she sat before fm std aight and stiff. It was only a passage for a fleeting mo- ment, but if cither of than could have realized its signihcance, they would have understood. Suddenly Michael Valdez said: "Juanita,- it may be that I have not mide myself car to rou. To- night there has been nothing for it except to let you come with me, but what 1 told you before is true. 1:1 Caballero Rojo rides 'alone. For another to ride with him might male it impossible for him to do all those things that he is commit- ted to do. You sce that, don't yoni" * * * For a moment Juanita did not speak, and when she did all the re- cent joy scemed to ahve gone out of lier soft voice. There was a choke in it when she said: , "But Juanita only wants to heip you, senor.' He laughed a little at that, short- ly. "Help me?" he repcated. "By riding like this when I. go on such matters as those which took me to Luna Roja tonight. Why, you haven't even got a horse." He groaned a little, remembering that catastrophe. "Madre de Dios! What will we do about that, any- how?" "Oh," said Juanita, and brighten ed a little, "this will be easy. Back where -- where my -- home was, there is a horse in the corral back f my padre.

Would you please analyse their writing, and tell me how their characters compare? Answer: Notice how broad and generous the first example of writ- ing is compared to the second one. I'his indicates the writer's charac- ter to be simbiar in nature, broad minded-in his views and very gen- crous with material possessions. This writer is\very extravagant and nothing but the best will do to sat-! isfy his needs. le considers petty things ay a nuisance and will avoid detail work or anything that is trifling and requires concentration and attention to detail. However, he has the ability to organize the work of others and to get things done in an executive capacity. There is no doubt that he is, by nature, very casy going and is not likely to take matters too seripusly. Now compare the second exam- ple of writing for size and you have an entirely different person. Great powers of concentration are shown here. Notice how small and closely packed the writing is. This power of concentration makes him argu- mentive and he will go to great lengths to debate and to prove a point whether the subject is im- portant or mot. This also reveals that he has analytical and literary sion and accuracy, or any 'quality which requires a high degree of patience and skill The conciseness of the writing, indicates the writer to be thrifty, not approving of waste of any kind. In the analysis of these hand- writings, it is evident that these {wo young men are opposites in character and have entirely - dif- ferent points of ow on personali- ty and personal interests. pdr Am "fr analy don pe 2 A a ri ig Ddinling Anyone wishing a more complete stamped envelope to Box B, room 421, 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto.

One puzzle was solved, at any rate, Would he get the horse for Juanita? He would--and with 'no delay whatsoever, even if it neant making a return journey to Paiseno Valley before it was safe to do so.. This Juanita problem wa+ one that\would brook no delay. "Aud when I have the horse," Juanita was saying, more brightly, Rojo+I can help you." She" must 1. have felt his tense silence, for she said quickly, anxiously, "You do \not want me? But is there no help I can give you at all?" It was 'on the tip.of Valdez' ton- giic to assure her, firmly, that there "was no slightest chance that: she could do anything more than be in his way, when a better idea flashed into his mind. \Jt was one that he believed would settle this bewilder- ing matter once and for all.

Sunday School Lesson Christ the Minister Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:26-27; '9:24-28; 10:11-14, GOLDEN TEXT: -- He is able al- so to save them to the uttermost that came unto God by him.--Heb- rews 7:25. The topic of this lesson for young people and adults is "The Sufficient Christ"; and that phrase accurately characterizes both the letter "and spirit of the Epistle to the Hebrews. The writer of the Epistle has a deep sense of the spiritual heritage of Israel." "God," he writes, "at sundry timés and in divers man- ners spake in times past unto the fathers by. -the prophets"; and in the 11th chapter he records the story of thé men and women of faith in a way that only a lover of Israel and of Israel's religion could have done. . * " But his faith and outlook as an carnest Israelite is dominated by the supreme conviction that God, who spoke formerly through the prophets, has spoken "in these last days" through His Son, Jesus Christ, "the brightness of His glory", and "express image of His person." With all the greatness of the past religion of Israel, it is the writer's contention that there was a promise unfulfilled. Saints and prophets 'obtained a good report through faith, but received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect" (Hebrews 11:39-10). * * * But what of priestliness and sacrifice in the. Jewish religion? The writer's answer is that: Jesus, is a superior high priest, inas as He has offered Himself a sac- rifice, once for all. An insistent question, I think, concerns how much of religious faith and prac- tice of today is in the realm of ua- fulfiMed promise, awaiting the su- preme experience of Christ as "the Minister of better things."
