CHAPTEK XIII Juanita had just turned to Padrc Vinctiitc with another question on her lips when there came an inter- ruption. A cowled priest had come across the country from the open doorway. He came up to Padre Bincente, who got quickly to his feet, and spoke in a low voice. "I will attend to it at once," he •aid to the other padre, and as he moved away he spoke over his shoulder to Juanita : "I must see to a certain matter immediately, my son, but you will follow me within a few momcnls. Come to my office, which you know, «nd 1 will then show you where you will sleep tonight." Juanita bowed her head and the priest hurried away. The girl sat still for a moment, then got up and start- ed to move restlessly about the courtyard. As she passed the bench â- where the old man sat, he reached out a hand and detained her. * • * "You must be tired, amigo," he laid gently. "I could not help hear- ing what you and Padre Vincente were talking about. You must sleep now, as he said, but tell me, what do you plan to do tomorrow, young amigo?" Juanita started, wide-eyed, and then she saw that the man who she had thought had hU f:ft» fixed on the tower belU was not teeing at alL He wai itartng through and bcyound her. She caught her breath. The man wa» blind! A blind man I He must be the blind father of whom Padr« Vincente had been talking. The father of El Cabal- lero Kojo. For a moment, in tlic shock of the discovery, she could not speak at all, and he repeated his question: "What do you plan for tomor- row, young amigo?" Juanita's head went up, though fhe knew he could not see the de- fiant gesture, and she spoke firmly: "1 am going to return from whence I came to join Kl C.ibal- lero Kojo." she said firmly. "El Caliallero Hojo rides alone," the blind m?n reminded lier gent- ly. "Jlc has lold mc that," Juanita replied spiriledly. 'But he has also tnade a rendezvous with nieâ€" so he ipust want to see me at least once •gain." The Mind man sighed. "And where is this rendezvous?" he ask- ed. "He said it would be in the vic- inity of Deep Water Valley, for * when 1 left him he told me he would be headed for Coronado." The man shook his head. "Did lie promi.se to meet you tliere?" "Nil." she admitted reluctantly, in her low, soft voice. "Unt 1 will find him." * * * The ni:in whose sightless eyes v/ere slill fi.vrd on the dusky heavens slowly shook hiij head and sighed. ".Mriiiy have thought to find him," he said, "but unless he wishes to be found, the devil himself would fail." "Bui I will find him!" Juanita irisisled. "I will know where to find him! I'or if he should not be where 1 have hopes to find him 1 will at once set forth to seek a valley somewhere that is plagued in the same way that my own Paisaiv> Valley was plagued, and sooner or later he will ride that way. He must I" The blind man faltcringly reach- ed out a hand, fumbled • bit, then placed the hand on her slender young shotflder. "Do you know what was in those saddlebags you brought to Padre Vincente besides money?" he ask- ed. "I did not look," Juanit* said •imply. "It was not for mt to pry into business that Jid not concern me." "There were letters," the blind man said then. "Letters to the padre, and one to me. And one of those letters did concern you. The padre read liolh of them to me, both let- ters written by Michael while you were asleep in his hideout cave. He wants Padre Vincente to keep you here at the mission until he comes. He says that the outlaw trail is not to be ridden by a girlâ€" and he must be right." Juanita's face flushed bright crim- son, bnt she remembered that ha could not sec, and that only by her tone could he know her anxiety, her perturbation. "Pnit 1 must go to him!" she cried. "Why?" asked the blind man. The girl looked about wildly, but got nothing from those blinded eyes. * » « "1 cannot explain it. 1 only know that that is what my heart tells me, and that 1 must obey." For long moments the blind man did not speak. He seemed to be looking into distant vistas that the girl could not explore. Finally his hand fell on her arm like a benedic- tion. "1 think I understand," he said gently. "When one walks in dark- ness, one comes to see with the eyes of the soul. With long years of un- derstanding behind me, with the blind eyes of a man who knew love to its fullest, I have but one thing to say to you, young sciiorita of the soft voiceâ€" follow your heart." She did not speak. So much had been made plain with a few words. She knew I She knew I That to fol- low her heart would always take her homing to El Caballero Rojo, the man she loved with all her passionate young Latin nature. The one man â€" the only man who ever would be in her heart. With a choked cry she turned and sped a.way, through the door of the mission ^wlicre a soft light fell. * • * Padre Vincente was in the cell- like office vhen she arrived there. He looked up at her and smiled, but at what he saw in her face the smile vaiiishe<l. "So you kiKJW," he .said simply. "The man of blindness you met out- side has told youâ€" the man you must know is Miguel's father. lie has told you of the letters thai were written, and that we know yon arc a girl. But it is Miguel's wish that you should lie cared for here until he comes. Quarters have been prepar- ed for you. You shall slay here, as he wishes." And beneath the flash of stern- ness that showed for a moment in the priest's look Juanita was silent. Slowly she followed him out of the olTice and down the corridor to- ward the room that had been pre jiared for her. * * * Michael Valdez spent a good part of the day carefully studying the letters he had taken from Raymond Garvin's safe. From tliem he learned that an as- sault on another helpless community was being planned. And Garvin would once more have removed his banking business to the new com- munity, and have taken part in the raiding. Well, Garvin was gone now, he mused, and the man would take no part in other raids against in- nocent ranchers and settlers. But his companions who had been with him in the raid on the Pal- dez hacienda still lived I And stilt El Caballero Rojo did net know exactly who those three men were. Though these letters of Garvin's gave no hint of their iden- tities, they proved the men still liv- ed. Michael's father had always been sure that Garvin was not the head of the trouble that had become n scourge in so many ptace.s, but was working under a "big boss" who al- ways had managed somehow to keep strictly under cover. Garvin, as Valdei' father figured the man, had not possessed the mentality to be the head of so sweeping • scheme for eventual empire.

You will liant to be very, very sure, of yourself before you con- sent to marry a man who zi<ill take you 1,000 miles away from your family and all your friends. Uor this reason alone, go slow.

Surely you are wise enough to drop a boy who has caused .mch scandal among your friends? Even if you ivere in love, you wouldn't dare see him again after hearing zvhat {you know now) was true. You are fortunate that you found out zchat sort he is before your heart became involved! Of course he is charming (some of the Icxvest men are) but how did he use that charm in the instance you knoxv about f Don't deliberately in- vite temptation. Only fools do that. Among the friends you know, there arc plenty of nice lads you can date, and later on you'll meet new ones. Protect your otvn good name by dating only those who are worth cultivating, whom your family admires. That is the be.ft way to keep out of trouble. • • » TO " HONEY": How could you ex- pect a boy to take you seriously when you ran after himf Nice boys may fall for it for a while, but they don't think of marrying cheap girls.

Barclay Warren A Call to Right Living I Peter 1:13-23; 4:1-5 GOLDEN lEKl -Whether there- fore ye eat, or drink, or whatso- ever ye do, do all to the glory of (•od.â€"l Corinthians 10:31. It is often said, "It doesn't mat- ter what you believe, a^ long as you are sincere." Peter would not accept such a view. He. felt that what you believe, directly influ- ences your conduct. Hence he presents the great Christian doc- trines and uses these as a basis for his exliortations to right living. * ♦ » When Jesus began to tell his disciples of liis coming sufferings and death and resurrection on the third day, it was Peter who said, "Be it far from thee. Lord: this shall not be mito thee." Matt. 16. How Peter lias progressed! Now he sees that this was foreordained before the foundation of the world. The blood of I'lirist, more preci- ous than sliver or gold, is the price of our redemption. HavinR been horn igain and purified we ought to love one another with a pur* heart fervently. Peter does not say, "Do the best you can." lie sees that man must have a new beginning through faith in the Christ who died, rose from the (lead and ascended In glory. * * • Peter calls the church to buy living. "As he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct!" As Israel was a people chosen from all the nations of the earth to be God's peculiar treasure, so the church is to be set apart from sin unto God. We arc to he dcrottd and dedicated to Him. If w live such a dedicated life our conduct will be in sharp contrast to our pa.st life. We lived "in licentiousness, passions, drunken- ness, revels, carousing, and law- less idolatry." If Peter had just been reading our daily newspaper he could not have given a more accurate description of our world today. ♦ * ♦ Some argue that it is alright for a Christian to drink in moderation. No argument is needed to show that it is Christian to abstain from intoxicating beverages and thus avoid fhe danger of becoming an immoderate drinker or of influenc- ing (by our example) others who might become drunkards. There are no hazards in abstinence and there is more money to support worthy causes. Nearly everyone will agree that there is more hap- l)iness, too. We ought to live right because Jesus Christ is coming again. He will judge the living and the dead. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
