Valdez, failing to locate Juanita as prear- ranged, rides on and -discovers a number of valley men in conference in 4 farm house.

When he and the old man were almost out of sight of the house, Valdez called a halt. He whistled. There came a slosh of hoofs in the mud and the smell of a horse. The animal 'was all but invisible. "That's all for you, Mr. Nelson," aldez said, mounting. "I thought it best to have sort of a--er--chaper- one this far. Now you can go back, and you'll have no trouble if you keep those men of yours quiet for two days." ' Suddenly the old man was alone. He heard retreating hooibeats, but saw nothing. When he returned to the farmhouse he was smiling. "Forty-eight hours," Nelson. said. "He'll do more than we could -- faster, better -- or I don't know a real man when I buck against one. Meeting adjourned." tA * * * Hiding in a thicket the heavy box of guns he had taken away from the tobacco farmers, Valdez cover- ed them with brush. He spent a few seconds in silent debate. Should he continte his search for. Juanita? Or make the most of darkness in 2 other effort to uncover the rea- son and the source of the valley outrages? He decided in favor of the latter, for it was certain that Judnita's dis- appearance could best be solved by ~dayiight." But even as he made his decision he realized he hadn't half * own unfil now how much this strange, half wild girl had come to mean to him. He Had done his best to keep any such thoughts from him, but they were there now in full strength. And the thought that she might be in danger filled him with the unfamiliar sickness of fear. He mounted El Cielo, heedless of the sleet-covered saddle, and con- fident that the sure-footed ani- mal could still carry him to the Half Circle H Ranch, and Pete Has- kell. The' ranchhouse, alone showed signg of life, and there only one room, the second floor, seemed to be occupied. Hastening to the house, he climbed swiftly up to the second story. Then he was on his stomach, edging toward the ranch- man's bedroom. He peered in through the window. The lamp was on the table between door and bureau. Haskell was on the edge of the bed, drawing off his boots, his back toward both window and lamp. . LJ LJ * Valdez knew that if the sash should be slowly raised a cold draught would quickly bring the cattleman face about. And Haskell had not yet unbuckled his holster and gun. on The very second the. bullet- studded belt left Haskell's fingers, however, Valdez flung up the sash. He. was inside the roo. 1 as soon as "the cowman whirled "Sit down -- not too close to your gun," Valdez said softly. "It's a habit of mine to get both sides of any story," El Caballero Rojo said quietly. : "About the ructions going on in the valley, I reckon?" Haskell's eyes were thoughtful. "Being a kind of 'boss on this range you should be able to answer for all the cattlemen In these parts," said Valdez, : "None of us know anything about an of the fires and killings," Has- kell. growled, - ° ; "But you held a war counsel about dawn yesterday morning," Valdes reminded him. : Haskell reddened. "Sure we did. And we decided that if the tobaego men fence off Deeg Water River in the north end of the valley we'd tear it down, avery blerete time they put the sticks up." : "Won't Bartle, who owns the land, meet you halfway?" : "Halfway?" Haskell swore ently. "He won't give us an . offered to buy the north end valley for what it's worth, but he's asking a road agent's price," : (To Be Continued) Your Handwriting and You ,.. aon Jane Wyman' 8 Script Analysed Today's handwriting comes from Miss Jane Wyman, well-known mo- tion picture star, - Notice the letter "J" in the word Jane. "See how spacious the loops are, especially the upper one. This indicates. a person who can meet .others and make friends having 'ease of adapting herself to new conditions. She understands the shortcomings of others and en- deavours to smooth things over ra- ther than to pursue an unpleasant issue. The height of the ")" above the writing line is almost equal to the depth of the loop below. This is a good sign of the balance between the idealistic mind and the desire for matenahstic things. The Greek letter "e" is a rarity in any handwriting. "This letter is not written like a small "e" but is very much like a capital letter. This tells me that the writer enjoys cultural pursuits and is at home with all things which clevate the mind. Art and painting interest Miss Wyman for she has natural talent to blend colours. . The large hooks on each end of the script reveal tenacity and the power to hold on until success has been reached.

Barclay Warren, "The Temple in the Nation's Life ------ Esra 3:10--13: Psalms 84:1-3; . Ezekiel 11:16;. 37:26-28, « Golden Text -- O Come, lot us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before thet Lord our Maker.--Psalms 95: 6. Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and' Jacob presented their offerings and worshipped God in_the great out-of- doors, under the open canopy of heaven. Moses, on divine instruction, built a moveable tabernacle in the wilderness. Later, when Israel enter- ed the promised land, this was re placed by a magnificent temple in the reign of Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar destroyed this place of worship in 587 B.C. About 50 years after, the re- "turned exiles laid the foundation of a new temple. It was an &ccasion of great rejoicing. But while many shouted for joy, the older men, re- calling the grandeur of the former temple, wept because, in comparison, the new one was greatly inferior. . . * Every disappointment can prove a blessing if we have God. Those who had been taken into captivity had legrned that God could be worshipped, even away from the temple at Jeru- salem. There had been a spirtualizing of their worship. God had spoken to them through the prophet Ezekiel, saying, "Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, yet will' I be to them as a little sanctuary." The church edifice, be it simple or ornate, ought to be a place where we meet with God. For that reason it - should have a large place in our life. Assembling with others with the ex- press purpose of worshipping can » prove a great blessing to every on¢ of us. God must riot be confined to par- ticular buildings designated for that purpose. It must be an habitual atti- tude of soul. We must walk and talk with God day by day and hour b; hour. Thus by our. daily life we will express the idea of true worship. Advance Notes From the "Ex."
