Shortly Juanita noticed that her captor was dropping things as_they rode on--and instantly the réason for that wis plan! Il Caballero Rojo could not help seeing--and fol- low. A stud from- the saddle-skirt of her mount, her handkerchief. A- hare and hounds' trail to death! When at last they reached a smail group of buildings of which a farm- house and barn stood out in the dark- ness as the largest, Clark Weber shifted his prisoner to his shoulder and groped with her up a flight of creaking steps. That they were in the barn was plain from the mixed odors of tobacco and horses. » * * Toamita was flung upon the dusty floor of the hay mit. Then Weber lit a lantern, picked her up and roped her to a beam that braced the rool. 2 A puff of Clark Weber's breath against the lantern plunged "the lit- tered place into darkness. "You see" he gzloated. "All 1 have to do now is 'wait in the dark. Or maybe until dawn--when our trail can be seen." "Senor," Juanita said chokily, "you are smart--and very lucky. But you flirt with death and do not know it. You think Ll Caballero Rojo so big a fool that he walks into your trap? No. He come. You are sure of that. So am I. But he goes, too. 1 warn vou. Perhaps, when he is gone, you will no longer be here, either." Clark Weber started down the stairs. ' "You het he goes!" he repeated, and' laughed raucously, "Feet first to Boot Hill. You needn't waste your breath trying to scare me." 'His feet creaked on the planks. Tuanita could hear him moving down below. Then, with a slam of the barn door, she was alone. Instantly she began to tug and jerk and saw at the bonds, but all her struggles brought were bleedng wrists and tired, wrenched muscles. * * * "Madre de Dios!" she preyed. "Help me! Help Michael!" Outside the barn, Clark Weber's enthusiasm kept him comfortable for an hour. Then, with the thermom- eter dropping and the rain which had begun shortly after he had ar- rived here with his prisoner now turning to sleet, he shivered and. looked with envy at the house. "If 1 could only keep watch from inside the house," - he mumbled. "But--" ' Suddenly he started. What a fool he had been! If there was-a light near the north window, the kitchen window, it would dispel the gloomy dark as far as this barn door. He could wait inside, crouched near. the window. "There would be no danger of missing his quarry, for the man would have to go into this door, since there was hut one entrance to the loft where the prisoner was wait- ing. He Dyrried into the house, avoiding 'Ellen and -Chet Maxon, who were scated by the glowing fire in the living room. In the kitchen, he had scarcely taken off his hat when El- len stood in the doorway. * * . "Where have you been all day, Clark?" she queried. "Did yof. . . Why, you're soaked!" Then she had her first full glimpse of his face, and it frightened her. "What's wrong, she demanded. "Nothing," he said shortly. She studied him, "You act like a cat that's just eaten the canary," she observed. "What's so pleasant?" Her brother, who had cone to the door and stood beside her, grinned. "Maybe he's found .a- gold mine," Chet "said, and laughed. Weber wanted to boast about what he actu- ally hed found, but could not. He might have to share his gains if he didy So all he said, enigmatically was: "I've {een out on some business that turned out pretty well." i (To Be Cotitinued) Your Handwriting and You Alps og Arnott One Unassuming, - Other Aggressive Dear Mr. Arngtt: Thank you for the analysis of my handwriting which described my personality to the letter. 1 will admit that every trait pf character you have listed is true. -I would like you now to give me the analyses of two friends whose handwriting 1 have enclosed. . * * The first . writer, showing the question mark in 'the script, has a "very emotional nature and responds readily to sympathy and affection. This emotional feeling-is not long~ lasting for there are signs of readi- ness to forget quickly, revealing that the writer is willing to forgive and forget gnd overlook the faults of others. The writ. has a modest unassuming nature, generous and broadminded. Interest in the w cliare and educa- tion of children is definitely shown, indicating abiinty to understand them and to get the nist out of their personalities. This young lady shows a great deal of friendliness towards others but has an exclusive nature, that is, . she chooses friends with great care, showing a preference for a few associates rather than a large circle of friends. This trait of character indicates loyalty to her chosen com- panions. * I * The second example of writing, with the word "because" written in the script, does not show as deep aficction as that of the first writer for there is more balance to the emotions. The writer takes a practi- cal view of things and is.not likely to be swayed by sentiment. The emotipns are deep and she does not forget the rights and wrongs of others readily but' will hold her feelings long after she should have forgotten about them. There is extravagance in the writing, indicating disregard for small and petty things. She is likely to enjoy the best and not to count the cost. The writer has rather an aggressive nature and goes after the things she wants in life. - There is a tendency to plan for the future, to reach out to gain, to/ possess and to attain her ambition. -- ) The writer shows a great deal of changeability inher witting and bas difficulty in, making definite deci- sions. She is inclined to be impul- sive, often regretting this impulsive- ness when there is time for reflec- tion. There is sensitiveness in fhe script with a show for independence and self reliance. Talkativeness is also indicated with inclinations to be frank in all that she says. thie nna P ae FA eaciae bat Fda lt Anyone' wishing a nore complete analysis please send self-addressed stamped envelope to Box B, room 421, 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto.

But every now and then a let- ter comes to me from a widow _ who has mar- ried again," and who - finds her husband unjust .and cven cruel: to her young sons. It is a predicament indeed, and for everyone concerned. The man undoubtedly promised to raise the boys as his own, and probably in- tended to show no difference be-, tween them and the children he and his wife have later. But some- times it doesn't work out that way. He is, too often, critical of his stepsons. Though their 'mother raises them carefully, he calls it indulgence. He thinks they need a man's discipline, and proceeds to apply.it. She feels he is .unncces- sarily strict." And the houschold is divided. TROUBLE AHEAD * This is hard on the husband, too. If he were entirely honest, he would confess to a certain jealousy that persists in spite of 'his resistance against it. He knows a mother's love is all- forgiving, and he makes -allow- ances. But beneath it all he re- sents the attention the boys re- ceive, and wonders just where he, another man, stands in his wife's heart. She must use all her tact. She stahds between her husband and these sons, and has. a trying prob- lem in her cfforts to be fair to them all. She must prevent, somehow, her husband's feeling that the boys come first with her and that is hard to do, for, if the test came, to whom tould she cling? Only she can answer. The husband and wife love cach other. They have no other difficulties than thost raised by the presence of these two sons. It would seem that two intelli- gent, affectionate people could come to some compromise, if " (PEEPS TIE SC EIR TE SERENE EE SC NE IE EL SE SS "The Bookshelf . .

Golden Text: "A new heart also 1 will give you, and a new spirit will / I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart.out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36-26. Just as too mi: of us do today, it was common for the: people of Israel to blame their troubles on those who had gone before them, and think they were being punished for their forefather's sins, not for their own. "The fatness have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge" was the way one Biblical writer put it. This is a characteristic of human nature. "If the statesmen at the close of the first great war had only been wiser," we say; and things of that Lind. * . * < But we -.aake errors too; for while we possess inherited tenden- cies, developed by environment, we cannot blame our- sins on either heredity or environment, for we have wills of our own. We are not helpless victims of what has gone before. We are free moral agents. If we continue in sin we .are in danger of eternal death. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die" was Eze- kiel's warning. * * * So Ezekiel sought to turn the exiles from the belief that they suffered only from the sins of their fathers, urging them to self-exam- ination. But he also brought a gracious message of comfort--"The Lord is a shepherd who will gather His sheep that have been scattered," together with the promise "I will seek that which was lost and bring bade again that which was driven away, -and will bind up that which was broken and strengthen that which was sick." i There is also a promise of spiri- tual cleansing--"Ye shall be "clean from all your filthiness .. .' Ye shall be. my people and I will be your God." Izekiel's message, though direc- ted to the people of Israel, is one for us today as well--a message of warning, but also one of hope.* Stair Mats Rubber stair mats which have become faded can be given a new lease on smart appearance by appli- 'cation of 'a coat of clear lacquer, or by polishing with floor wax. As some-types of rubber respond better to one treatment than another, it is .suggested that both methods be tried out on a single mat before de- ciding which one is better for the particular mats involved. * 'No. 3 Wins First Little Girl: "I have two brothers and one sister."
