CHAPTER XXXIl He was reeling as he turned info the alley hack of the building, mov- ing as quietly and hastily as he couIl toward the street where he had left his mount. He stumbled, lurched against the clapboard wall, but recovered himself. When he got to the street a swift glance told him that most of the men who had been in the saloon were heading for Its doors. Valdez darted across the street. His ivounded leg slowed him up, and by now his brain was reeling. "There he goes!'' a man's voice bawled. "After him!" Michael Vald .' wits were still about him sufficiently for him to realize his peril, and his gun spat flame over the heads of the infur- iated townspeople. !n answer, bul- lets sliced the air around his sway- ing body. Then he was on the other side of the street, in the broad daylight, sliding down to- ward the creek and moving along to where he had left his hor.^e. « * • He found El Cielo, but it was agony for him to pull himself into the saddle. Finally he made it, though, and settled down, steady- ing himself by the leather with quivering fingers. If he could make the trail he had a fair chance to lose his pur- suers, who even now were taking to their mounts. Otherwise . . . A hot stab of pain in his leg made him wince. El Cielo was pounding on, though as if aware it all was up to him now, and then Valdez heard the itoncs of the trail rattle under his Angclwings, gay scallops, fresh ruflly frills for your darling's spring party dress I Make Pattern 4775 again with puff - sleeves for play and school.

He did not know how fafr he had ridden at full gallop when a black cloud shut down over his senses. One hand tightened on the reins while the other gripped the pommel of his saddle. The long shadows of approaching dusk heralded the end of a bad day for Michael Val- dez. But there >vas still room in his heart for exultation. That same day had seen the finish of oiic more of the men against whom he had taken the vengeance trail. • * * Only one more now â€" the "big boss!" But even his dulled brain told him that now there was more for him to do. For on his way to find the man he meant to get, there was a problem of wrong to others to b settled in this valley. And El Caballero Rojo was not a man to shirk such a duty even for person- al gratification. Yet some instinct insistently said to him that the two trails of evil crossed, and that in > running to earth the man re- sponsible for the tragedy here, he would find the man who Jiad caused his own. He forced himself to rest for a time when he reached the safety of the hideout. He bound up his leg, finding to his satisfaction that the wound was more painful than serious. For in spite 'of his in- jury he soon found strength flow- ing back into his healthy body. And once more he was ready for what might come. Changing from his charro cloth- ing, and removing the black wig so that his own red-gold hair glinted from beneath the brightly decor- ated sombrero, he ^raited until dusk gave way to the thicker shad- ows of night. This night the moon was blanketed by as sinister and dark a cloud as his own thoughts of the mysterious "big boss" he still must find. * * • Silently as a falling leaf, then, he moved on to the Alman farm â€" a doubled-over splotch of darkness himself. Arrived there, he skirted the remains of the shed, paused a moment beneath a giant tree, then streaked on again and flattened himself against the side of th« modest house. Reaching the win- dow through which a light shone, he peered in. He saw a girl, young and pretty. Her face, stained with tears, wai turned to the bed, where lay a young man whose face was as whitt as the sheet tucked under his chin. An older man stood at the bed- side, a man whose clothes showed that he, too, was a farmer. Michael Valdez glided around the house to the entrance. He thrust open the door and stood on the treshold with the yellow lamplight full upon him â€" a redhaired -apparition in velvet and glittering silver ornaments. * * * The girl cried out in terror. The old man gaped like one seeing a ghost. From the pillow came a half-groan, half-cry, filled at once with hope and with fear. El Caballero Rojo stepped in and closed the door behind him. "There is nothing to fear," he said quietly. "You two"â€" he gestur- ed toward the girl and the old man â€""stand over there, please." As they hesitantly obeyed, Val- dez walked to the bed, and from over the scarlet handkerchief he looked down at the pinched smile on the freckled face of red-headed Straw Aldman. "You won't wear those Max clothes and the red trapplnf* again," Vadez said with gentU firmness. "Stealing my brand U not so good." "But Iâ€"" "Si. You tried to throw a scare into men â€" likely the wrong onei, at that â€" who don't scare. You hare nerve, boy â€" but you're not smart."

Golden Text â€" Thy Kingdom come: Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. â€" Matthew (l: in The candidate appealing to the electors states his platform. Jesus was not seeking votes but on his first visit to his home town upon His entering His ministry, he en- unciated his platform. He read it from the prophecy of Isaiah and then said, "This day is this script- ure fulfilled in your ears." * * • The politician frequently finds it impossible and impracticable to ful- fi' all his re-election pledges. But it was not so with Jesus. He read, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because Ho Jiath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor". Mprk records, "The common people heard him gladly". That He was sent to heal the broken-hearted is evidenced by such acts as His re- Your Handwriting and You Aiex By S Amott Upward Writing Indicates Optimism Dear Mr. Amott: "Please give me the story of my handwriting according to your an- alysis, * « * The general appearance of the writing is upward and this tells me that you are an optimist, a person who delights in making a comeback after being defeated. Those "lasso" uuwnstrokes of the letter "y" show that you have a very persistent nature and, al- though it may take you a long time to get where you are going, you have the will to stick to it until you are satisfied that you have won your point It is a very good sign that you will not admit defeat and, even though you know you have failed, you will not admit it ai personal failure but will consider it as a temporary set back. « * * You like plenty of variety in all that you do, and you are at your best when there it constant change of scenery. You enjoy pursuits which keep you on the move. Out- door work with opportunities to meet new and varied conditions would be most suitable for your type of personality. You are an idealist and would risk your personal well-being in order to live up to your ideali. This may cause you to support a cause for which you have sympathy but which may not be based oa sotmd judgment and facts. It would be to your advantage to keep in mind that realities, though aome- times painful, will keep you out of scrapes.

He delivered those who were demon possessed. He gave sight to the blind. He set at liberty those that were bruised. He invited the people to enter His kingdom of grace. It is significant that in Hi., reading from Isaiah he stopped just before the statement that he had rr.nie to procl;iim "''"he day of vengeance of our God". Warnings of divine wrath and im- pending doom were more frequent in his later ministry. The growth of Christ's kingdom is as mysterious as all growth. One missionary preached for seven years without seeing a convert. But the leaven of the word was working. Many . were later bnrn info the Kingdom. Th Jews hoped that Jesus would overthrow the Roman power and take the throne of David. But Jesus pointed out the inwardness of the Kingdom. It does not con- sist in ceremonies. It is a spiritual kingdom. It is righteousness, and peace and ioy in the Holy dicii-i. We enter it by being horn of the Spirit. Right living follows. Peace and joy arc consequents of the change and accompany right liv- ing. It is a way of happiness. There is also a future aspect and realization of the Kingdom m Wi '.ch God's will is done. Hence we are to pray, "Thy Kingdom come." ANNE WIRST Don't Be Possessiveâ€" You'll Lose Friends drives causes One of the most connnon faults of young people is their instinct for po-^sc-^^ion, particularly among their friends. Its i<juiiilation lies, of course, in jealousy; in our eagerness t o rate fir.st with those we like, we are apt to rc^cnt their af- fection for other people. The husbands and wives bitter misunderstand- ing between good friends. That is why I urge teen-agers today to watch for this trait in themselves, and overcome it early. Boys resent it particularly. Next time you meet a nice boy whom you think you're going to enjoy know- ing, remember that before you came along he had other girl friends too. And it is not to be expected that he will neglect them just because you're his social pic- ture now. Don't try tc absorb all his time. Don't show you're disappointed that he doesn't immediately ask for a second date. Take it easj'. Your friendship will last longer. SHARE YOUR FRIENDS * And don't for heaven's sake, * try to monopolize him. Introduce â- * him to your group, and expect * that he'll date one or more of * your girl friends too. -Be gencr- * ous. Boys admire good sports- * manship, and they know it when * they sec it. * When your best girl friend * meets a new girl, she will want * to cultivate her, to sound out her * opinions and her tastes. She will * want to meet her family. You * will see less of your friend for a * little while. Don't complain about * it. You be friendly with the girl * too, entertain her in your home. * Your girl friend will appreciate * it.'and will Hke you more for it. USE TEEN YEARS WELL * Don't fear competition. Friend- * ship is founded on mutual ad- * miration and as long as you de- * serve friends you will hold them. * Friendship, like love, has to be * earned. It takes time, and often * demands tlie s.^l riiice of one's * personal pleasures, but it pays in * deeper tics and wider popul.irity * among more girls and boys. As * you spend more of yourself in * pleasing others, you bind them to * you in loyalty and good will. The * word gets around, and it's good * news to everybody. You, most of * all, will bencfii. * The teen years are the years to * make friends. Use them well, by * choosing your friends carefully, * and being very, very careful never * to let one of them down. Share * them as yon go along, and your- * life will be rich and rewarding. To "Geraldine."- "A Little Jeal- ous," "M.G.D.," Etc.: Practice the ideas you have just read, and you all will be happier. One gets what one gives in life. The earlier you learn this, the- brighter your life will be. Play fair, and be generous. That applies particularly to your friends.
