And as if it had been a mocking greeting to him lie had been faced with evidence of more of Garvin's ruthless work as soon as his eyes had been set on the emerald range- land. Night had come when Michael Valdcz drew his blue roan to a halt on a small rise just above the twinkling lights in a huddle of addle <lwtllini;s. The whole town of Luna Koja, he saw at once' was built about the sprawling white Garvin place, which he re- cognized from Juanita's dccription. The town itself was at the north- ern end of the valley on the edge of Canyon Kijo. I'rom there Gar- vin could keep an eye on activities anywhere in ,he valley. • * • , \s he sat staring down at the sinister town, no one would have recognized the wandering vaquero who had first ridden into the valley that morning. Tall and straight, he sat his horse in his gaudy Spanish apparel, hat off. and with the first rays of the moon glinting on red hair where the morning sun had shown on black. > For only moments he paused to make reconnaissance. Then, with deliberation, he loosened the scar- let handkerchief from around his neck and drew up its folds over his face until only his dark eyes showed, hard and hitter. With freshly loaded six-guns and Winchester carbine, red-head- cd and sc.irlrt-ma.'^kcdd, like some panoplied knight of the Middle Ages, he rode down toward the town of Luna Roja. In the moon- light a silver-decorated specter 'I'l.u'U i.'l Ml u.!l (Irciscd in thisl I'altern 4872 nisca the star neckline to flatter your face, jumbo ihirred patch pockets to round your hips and iliminish your waist!

He had not ridden into tht town's main street when suddenly out of the darkness a mounted man sprang into the road. Ht swung his horse across the nar- row trail which led into the long street, blocking it. But El Cicio had been long and patiently trained for just such an encounter as this. With amazing suddenness the mount reared. One of N'aldez' arms went out, the hand holding something that for a mo- ment showed crimson in the faint moonlight â€" another great scarlet neckerchief. The neckerchief whipped about the pistol in the astounded guard's hand. It was torn from his grasp and, before he knew what was happening, the barrel of the pistol that had jump- ed into the red-haired inan's other hand crashed against the guard's head. He slumped crazily from his saddle into the dust of the trail. Valdez lifted liis reins as he dropped the handkerchief-covered gun of the outlaw guard into his pocket, and the blue roan spurted ahead. "Madre de Dios!" gritted El Cabellero Kojo. "Strangers must certainly get a cordial greeting in this town!" * • • He swung into the street and noted that at the edge of the town were the inevitable 'dobc shacks that trimmed the outskirts of all such small Western towns. Most of the houses were dark, for the peons must be up and at work by il.iylireak, and usually soUKht their beds early. Cautiously Kl Caballcro slowed down before the white-plastered walls of the Garvin pace. Dis- mounting in the blackest shadows some distance from the sprawling, pretentious dwelling in the center of its patio, he trailed ICI Cielo's reins and stole toward the gate facing the street. Garvin's house and patio were completely enclosed by high walls, to which only the big gate facing the street, and a smaller one in the rear, gave entry. And the four blockhouses which Juanita had de- scribed gave the whole place the effect of a fortified castle. I'rom one corner blockhouse came sounds of raucous singing and the twanging of a guitar, punc- tuated by hoarse lanijhtcr. No one was in siKht. « * • It looked like a good chance to slip in through the gate, for Kl Caballcro Rojo could make out in the dim light that it had not been locked, but stood ajar a few inches. Hut even as his« eerie, «litteriiiR figure reached it, a man leaped out to block it. Like a silver-decorated v nith, the masked man dived at the guard. Instantly his stronger fin- gers foinid the fellow's throat and cut riff his warning shout.

Across the courlyanl was Gar- vin's two and a half story house. \ swift glance told Michael Val- dez that the, oneslory addition at one end of the house was Gar- vin's ipdirc, or "bank" as the land hog preferred to call it. And a light fanning out from the one winilow facing the ronrlyard an- nounced Kaynionil Garvin's pres- • cnce there. The time had come! Michael X'aldez failed into the first open doorway in sight with no more stir than would have been Miadr by a breath of niKlil He found himself in a long corridor, and at its end saw a light shining through a transom from the office door that opened into the cor- ridor.

Sunday School Lesson Use And Abuse Of Wealth Proverbs 11:24-27; 16:8; Ecclesiaslcs .1:10-11; James 5:1-6 GOLDEN TEXT - Belter is a little with rigtttcousness than great revenues without right. â€" Proverbs 16:8. On a smaller scale and in a more primitive way the Israelites of old were confronted with all the prob- lems of character and conduct that vex and perplex the more highly organized nations of today. Next to the problem of establish • ment of peace are the problems oi labor â€" keeping people working un- der fair conditions and with good living standards; and of wealth â€" keeping the power of great wealth under control, in relation to the rights and interests of all. * » « So many problems in these spheres remain unsolved that we are apt to fail to realize the great progress, both in relation to labor and in rela- tion to wealth, that has been made within the memory of many now living. It is not so long since labor was regarded as a "commodity" to be bought, like any other commodity, in the cheapest market, under a com- petition for jobs that in times of unemployment was bitterly keen. Then came recognition of labor, and the demand for a "living wage" became so insistent that by now reference to a standard of living is a stressed factor in wage negotia- tions and contracts. • * « Similar progress iias been made in enforcing recognition of the rela- tionships and responsibilities of wealth. In the days when labor was a "commodity," wealth was largely im- mune from governmental control and from any sense of responsibility. The prevalent conception was that a man's wealth was his own, to do with as he pleased. Today we recog- nize not only that wealth has social obligations, but that society itself » .^, a basic factor in Ihe acquisition. * * * ♦ From a Christian standpoint the obligations of wealth are simple and direct. What a Christian has -Is not .. his own, Imt is held in stewardshiij, subject to the will of God. That i* the ideal set forth in the New Testa- ment, and the truer the Christian the more nearly will he attain it in the practical use of what he possesses.
