CHAP LR XLV Juanita was certain of her horse --but she never gave a thought to the tact that only one rider in ten thousand would make the desperate attenipt she contemplated. "Witch where you're going, amigo," counscled Sheriff J.ande. "You're darned near Dead Fall Arroyo." Ju: ita staied sti tight ahead, "Si, senor,' "My horse is not afraid. You?'\ She vode on, her her heart still, her thoughts only for Michael Valdez. A word form- ~ ed silently on her lips. ' she said. lips clamped, Then, like a plummet, she was out of sight. Sheriff Lande's- low curse was more admiring than angry. He dropped to the ground, ran forward, peered over the cliff edge, but saw nothing. Nevertheless he emptied his gun at the clanging hoofs on the rocks. "Whew!" he mumbled, and mop- ped the sweat fron his brow. "Well, I'm not trying that loco trick. Best we can'do now is try and head 'em off." : LJ " . . Determined mon who are dead set on a destination and task, head for it with one-track minds. . So it was with Clark Weber, Michael Valdez .and. Pete Haskell's men. Each knew where he was going, knew what he was abaut to do--and all were treading the danger trail. Weber led the grim parade. At last he traveled down the cowtown's mud-puddled street with a greedy grin on his face. But it was sud- denly wiped away." For a window of the bank showed yellow beneath a partly drawn shadel Weber reined up short in the middle of the street as he growled out a low curse, . Light! 'Had Bartle left the farm? Could it be possible that he had ignored Weber's warning and left, taking a short cut that would bring him here to town before Clark Weber himself? Curse himl He left his horse at the hitching . rail. 'T'wice he hammered on the downstairs door, then climbed on the outside stairs teading to the banker's living quarters and knocked peremptorily again, But there was no answer, nor sign of life within. He moved down the stairs, walked stealthily around the building, scan- ning it front and back. Then he remounted and rode to the saloon, ,where he sandwiched the horse tetween puncher"s gray and OF REVENGE JACKSON-COLE *spurred Bartle on. dun animals... Bad business, he thought, for housebreakers to have their mounts at the door behind which they prowl. He hurried back to the bank, Tender hands -and flabby muscles made it hard work to, climb up on a porch roof at the sear of the bank. Puffing, he reached Bartle's window, The locked latch annoyed him. But the_long, thin blade of his pocket knife fitted between the sashes and soon he had the window up. He stepped lightly into the larger of the two rooms of the living quarters. No one was there, so quickly he lowered the shade, then stood wondering which of the books on the orderly desk would yield the most helpful information. * * * He picked up the smallest book. It was discouraging. The pages only informed him that they were kept by a man who wanted to know where every penny went... Even postage stamps were listed. Growl: ing, Weber flung the book down. He read parts of : letter plucked from a thick file. But a man does not brand himself by keeping copies of letters offerihig to sell land which he owns. Weber's castles in Spain began to show eracks in their foundations. Had he dreamed all his pleasant dreams only to find them fantasies? Snatching up a ledger he let it fall open haphazardly. Page Ten Farm Number Thir- teen . . The page halved by double red lines. Bought from a descend- ant of one of Don Attero's people by Bartle. Price eleven hundred dollars. Sold to Thomas Buckley. Tn hundred dollars, gitimate profit," mused Weber, his eyes following ghe diag- onal line almost to the bottom of the page. "Buckley evidently liked the place. Stayed ten year and -then--" His eyes flamed with hope. . - Behind Buckley's name in. red. ink--* Deceased." Bought by Russ Bartle. - Prite; including improve- ments, thirteen hundred . dollars. Sold to Steve Ransom. Price fifty-. five hundred. Behind Ransom's name--*"Deceased." N : .. . Weber granted, his eyes narrow- ed. Fpr then-he--read that Russ Bartle had again bought that same farm and behind the transaction "was a net profit of twenty- iia hun- dred 'dollars. "And--and we bought drat same place from Bartle for fifty-five hun- dred," he gritted. "By the eternal, I see it now! Bring them in; drive . them out or kill them. Buy. Sell. Always at a profit. And--" He glanced at a dozen pages be- fore becoming convinced that the Ransom place--the one he and the Maxons had bought--was the only one now with a red crayon question mark beneath the last entry.- He slumped into a chair at the desk, picking up books and papers, scanning thém hurriedly, throwing them aside, until he felt like a dog with so niuch food in sight that it didn't know which to eat first. He got up wet with perspiration, books And papers clutched under his arm, all atremble at fate's br d smile, his eyes glittering. - "So the Maxons thought they were through with me, eh?" he gloated. "Well, they are not-for from now on I'm Bartle's partner. Until I can get rid of him the way he's got rid 'of people he couldn't scare out of Deep Water Valley." * » * In Weber's eyes blazed the same lust for power and wealth that had He turned to- ward the open window--and in that moment his visions of the future melted -away like flard on a blister- . Doctors Should Speak Carefully To Their Patients Doctors were warned about the dangers of instilling fear into pati- 'ents by the use of awesome medical terminology in an address made to the Massachusetts Medical Society by Si. Reginald Watson-Jones, or- thopaedic surgeon to King George V™ and Surgeon-in-Chicf: of the Royal Air Vorce. ¥ "Every word we utter can either help or retard a bed-ridden patient, and ~~ innocent word sometimes can delay or prevent total recovery,' Sir. Reginald told the Society, , To illustrate, he related the ex- perience of a woman who had been. unable to sit for' two years solely because her doctor had described a wrench she had had in her back, in such impressive but unintelligible language that she believed she must b disabled, and she was. Many other patients are scared away from living a normal life merely because their doctors tell them they have mild arthritis, an ailment feared because of its associa- tion with a severe type of arthritis, he 1 ted, To tell a person to "go slow" he termed "terrible. advice" until 'the doctor is sure that hcart trouble 1s present. If the doctor warns a pati- ent to "go slow" because he is not sure, he may cause hardship as the patient will assume heart trouble and again sacrifice a normal living. "It is our duty to explain to pati- ents what they have and what we are doing in simple words and then make certain, they understand," he said. Sir Reginald declared that psy- chology was half the battle in bring- Ing recovery. "I submit that 100 per cent of the hospital beds are filled with psy- chological ailments, for it is impos- sible tp be ill without psychological reflection," he said. "Yet no aspect of medical treat- ment is less recognized, more im- portant and more difficult." i HEHE To ae The Colonial Square -- beginner choose this Songs for your first important work. 1, accessories to fit any setting.

[4 You'll hold your head - And one of the new competitions | _ row express -fror:- Sunday School Lesson By Rev. R. Barclay Warren, The Hope for The Messiah Ezekiel 34:23-28; Daniel 7:13-14; Zechariah 9:9-10; 12:10; 13:1 Golden Text -- For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the governirent shall be upon hi§ shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, K -- Isaiah 9:6. The Scriptures' which speak of future events ha. usually a variety of interpretations. Time proves or disproves the various theories. Ezekiel was a prophet to the exiles of Babylon, In today's lesson he in- spires hope for their return to the homeland - where/ they will dwell safely. The land will be fruitful, "There shall be showers of blessing". But most important of all is the announcement of God's promise of "my servant David a prince among them", This is one of the Messianic pro- phecies finding its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, a direct descendant of David. From such passages as this Daniel in the lesson, the He- brews came to thik of the coming Messiah in terms of a great king, The idea of a glorious earthly king- dom: had a strong appeal. They fai! ° to appreciate the truth of the prophecies such as those given by Zechariah, True, Messiah is a king. But, "He is just, and having salvation: lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass, -- He shall speak peace unto the heathen", Mes 'ah suffers to enter His kingdom. He is pierced but He provides for cleansing from * sin, The Jews 'wanted a king who would cast off the Roman yoke. But Jesus suffered into His kingdom by the way of thc cross. Even his best friends, such as Peter, at first repudiated this road to kingship. But the cross was in the Divine program. How Can I? ~ By Anne Ashley "*Q.

Your Handwriting and You Alex. 37 Amat -- C ultural Tendencies The formation of certain letters in 'handwriting strike a definite clue to the writer's personality, Im . this week's article, we have an unusu- al formation of the small, letter "e"; Hildegard, Norma Shearer and Jean- nette MacDonald are but a few of _the many talented people who in- ; gent stinctively use this one letter i in this significant form, Notice how different the small "e" is formed, quite unlike the style tent us in our class room training, When the writer instinctively makes such a decorative "Greek" letter "¢" i* is an almost certain sign of cul- tural inclinations. Such writers show preference for permanency and quality in the things they under- take, not being sati fied with ordin- ary achieyements but striving for t' : highest possible accomplish- ments. Theirs is the ambition to secure the highest quality of refine- ment in the arts and other forms of culture which permit expression of finer inner feeling.
