He tells her thai Valdez has asked Padre Vincente to keep here there at the mission for safety. CHAPTER XIV It was Michael's task to find out who th-it boss â- vvas, who Garvin's othr companions had been in the raid on the Valdez hacienda, and to bring them to book â€" as he had brought Garvin to book within hours after he had learned where the man was. To that end he determined to take a part, too, in the new raid that was planned, according to Garvin's letters. This time the evil crew were to descend on Deep Water Valley, over in Arizona. Dizzy thoughts ran through Michael Valdez' mind as he read and reread the letters. Words tumbled to fit a jigsaw puz- ile. Kustlitig, holdups, beef men, Coronado, gambling. Deep Water Valley, Don Attero's Cross. It seemed to lack only one piece. Who was the liig boss behind it all? • > > One letter he separated from the others, which he hid in the cave.

His face shone with triuph \\hen he folded that one particular letter and put it in his pocket, a little used pocket from which he would not be likely to pull k out accidentally.

It was almost midnight when Val dez Tode into the sprawling, roister- ing town. It was such a scene, spread before him, as he had bee rae familiar with during his wandermgs. Lights blazed from a dozen saloons. Otherwise, Main Street was practic- ally deserted, probably because everybody was in "Flash" Conroy s Palace, over which a flamboyant sign blazed, or in one of the smal- ler salooons. Valdez turned into the livery stable in the rear of the town's hotel and left El Cielo to the cnre of the straggly-mustached livery- man who came forward, half as'eep Leaving the livery barn, he saunt- ered along the board sidewalk, fin ally halting before the Palace Sp- loon. He pushed open the batwing doors and stepped into the briglitly lighted interior. * • • Del ifid the mahogany the bar' Mid er, who had caught one glimpse of the new arrival's black hair, the chano clothing, and the devil- Tiay- cate Latin swagger, was sud 'eii'v busy with his cloth, as h? ang'cd down near his heavy shotgun.

Flash Conroy, with out appearing to notice the approach of the stranger in his saloon, was wondering if the appearance here of this Mexican, Michael Valdez, meant that Kl Caballero Rojo was some- where in the neighborhood. There had never been any actual proof to connect the two men but the coincid- ence of their appearance in the same place at the same times had in many men's minds ceased to be coincid- ence. Conroy, however, gave no out- ward evidence of the thoughts that were swiftly milling around in his mind. His gambler's poker face never changed aspect. For all that anyone could see, he was interested only in the poker hand which he was scanning. l'"lash was a fine figure of a man in his black broadcloth, stiff-bosom- ed while shirt and black string tie- garb that was almost a uniform with men of his ilk. Atop his sleek dark head was a broad black sombrero, and he wore black tooled Mexican riding boots. Though his long black coat hid it, a business-like six gun luing at his waist in a well-oiled holster and, according to the time-honored cus- tom of gamblers all through the West, a derringer that could drop into his hand on the inslniif was up his sleeve. Neither gun was there for orna- ment. Many a man who was now r«- posiiig in Hoot Hill might have Icstificd to Flash Conroy's speed of hand and eye â€" before that same speed sent him there.

ANy£ HIRST Young Girl Wants Real Girl Friends THE TF-:EN-AGE life of a young * girl should be a happy one. .^nd '•' it depetj^s largely upon the friends * she mwcs. Usually she is one of ' a group vho enjoy each other, who * go abynt together for dances, sports, movies, evenings in each others' homes. They exchange confidcilces, trust each other, and there's seldom a dull evening for any one of them. But alas, this is not always true. * Teen years can be desolate. Some * girls, less or more mature than * those they know, find themselves * lonely and unpopular. They strug- * gle hard to be friendly, but all * they get is the cold shoulder. And * they are miserable, wondering * why. * One girl of 16 finds herself * without a single girl friend. "Girls * seem to like me, but after awhile * they don't w.int me around. I'm * a junior now, and I'm going to be * married after I graduate. But * these years in school are going to * be dreadfully hard if I don't suc- * ceed in mokiiig friends. I was al- * ways popular with boys, but I * don't want to be now I'm engaged. * I do want girls to like me, * though." * HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS // is not easy for out who does not know a girl to put a finger on the reasons oilur girls shun her. But a feiv sumicslions may show her 7vhere she has failed. Then she ean do somethinn about it. Be unselfish. Admire a i/irl's hczv dress, or the liay she's doing her hair this fall. Ask her out on a double date; if she hasn't a boy friend, ask your ozvn to bring one along. Pay your ojan -way when you two go to the movies or drop in for a soda. Sometimes offer to treat her Be loyal. Never betray another girl's secrets. If you shoiv her you are interested in whatever she wants to confide instead of al'ways think- ing about yourself), she will trust you. Never gossip about her, nor eiiticise other girls to her. 1 he word gets around, and y.'u enn't afford the! reputation. You ean akvays find simeihiiig complimentary to say about another girt, and nothing will endear you more to them all. Invite a girl you like home with you for the night or for a week end. IVIiffi she returns the invitation, put your best foot forward with her parents. The time to make friends « in these younger years. And all your life you u'ill need girl friends. Boys will come and go, but a loyal woman friend is your friend for life. * * • There's no need for any girl to lack girl friends, if she's willing to admit her own shortcomings.

Barclay Warren Building Christian Character 2 Peter 1: 5-H ; Jude 17-21, 24, 25 GOLDEN TEXTâ€" As ye have there- fore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him : rooted and built up in him. â€" Colossians 2: 6-7. The first requisite in building is a good foundation. Peter says, "His di\ine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and god- liness â€" thatâ€" you may escape the corruption that is in the world be- cause of passion, and become par- lakers of the divine nature." Becoming a Christian is not a human attainment but a work of God in the heart. There must be a purging from the old sins before Christian character can be built. But the entry into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is just the beginning. Growth and development must fol- low. Faith, virtue, knowledge, self- control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love are characteristics which will become more and more prominent. The Christian life is not static. Progress is the keyword. If we are not daily becoming more like Christ," decay has begun. We have turned our eyes away from Christ and are walking in darkness.

TABLETS ^or...n.^o. for success in the Christian life de- pend? It rests partly on the indi- vidual. "Give diligence to make your calling and election sure." "Keep yourselves in the love of God." No one is a Christian against his will. We must put our best into it. Nothing less will secure an abun- dant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. But we cannot succeed in our own strength. The devil is a great ad- versarj'. The spirit of the world beckons to the sensual life. Our keenest striving is insufficient. Jude, after warning of the mockers in the last time and exhorting us to build on faith and pray, closes on this triumphant note: "Unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceed- ing joy . . ." I was walking to Sunday School with my young daughter. Her feet slipped on some ice. Her hand stiff- ened in mine. I grasped it tightly. She did not fall. So as I walk with God, Satan has many pitfalls. But my hand is in God's hand. I mean to keep it there. It is not my hold on God that upholds me, but His great hand on mine. rwRels ONE wmg fo/r SINUS ^^^ FOR FAST, SURE 'I. % RELIEF Plane-to-ground radio telephone service will be available to passen- gers soon on one trans-AtSantic service.
