Bartle tells him he will forget the balance of the mortgage on his property lor the canttire of the sup- posed bandit. C-IAFTER XXXIV He disir.ountcd, led his horse be- hind a bliaft of rock and began to inch toward the house. Fear inspired him to move with such super-caution that it seemed hours before he reached the house and looked through a window into a dark room. The door to tlic adjoin- ing room was open â€" and framed in the rectangle of liglit stood El Caballero Kojo! Clark Wetier crouched spell- bound. Then both his hands sag- ged to the cold butis of his Co<ts and he began to lift the heavy wea- pons. As suddenly he let them drop, as a spasm of terror sped along his tingling nerves. Behind him sounded the soft pad of cautious feet. The strange Mexican! Panic clutched Weber's throat. Was this Mexican by any chance in cahoots with -1 Caballero Rojo? * » • The Mexican'* footsteps were moving closer and closer. Chills did a hornpipe down Weber'g spirie. He did not even dare fire toward thojo creeping footsteps, for he was recalling, only too well, how El Caballero Rojo could move like pronged lightning and shoot •traightcr than a warrior's arrow. In the next split second Clark Weber decided where his one «hance to sidestep his grave lay. He tried to run silently, but broke Into rccklcs flight when he heard an angry sound behind him. Panting, he reached his horse and flung hiinself into saddle. ..lake Pattern 49.S0 your first pro- ject this tcrnil Check it in cotton lor crispy .school -and-date dress.

ISSUE 14 - U>48 With his slight lead, fast horse, and the inky night, if he could hold out another mile! To a spot he had noticed when on patrol! And he did. There he flung him- self from saddle. Even as he rolled in dust and stones he dragged out both Colts, then climed up the side of a rock where centuries of storm and erosion had carved many toe- holds. He heard the beat of his own horse's hoofs as it ran on, riderless. "If I can get him here," Weber panted "I can get El Caballero Rojo in a spot where I can pick him off as I would a blind crow." * • Clark Weber did not have long to crouch on the rock where the trail was narrow. Juanita came, wildly chasing the riderless horse. And the moment she was oppo- site him, Weber leaped as a moun- tain lion leaps on the back of a fat calf. The shock sent both of tlicm to the ground in a tangled mass of arms and legs, Juanita fighting with surprised fury until solid blows with a gun butt set off the shooting stars before her ej'es and dropped her in a senseless heap. Gasping for breath, Weber work- ed frantically to bind his prison- er's wrists and ankles. The girl in the boy's clothing stirred, strug- gled to rise, but relaxed in the face of a gun. "Why do you do this to nic?" she demanded angrily. "I think maybe you can guess," Weber drawled, and laughed tri- umphantly. "I'm going to use you to bait a trap for your friend. El Caballero Rojo. His pelt is worth real money." • * * Juanita trembled with fury. Af- ter all her efforts at secrecy someone at last knew of her con- nection with the scarlet-masked rider! She was thinking swiftly. Some- how she would have to convince him he was in error. "El Caballero Rojo?" she repeal- ed plaintively. "Senor makes the mistake. I know no such person." "Humniph!" "If you're lying, hombrc," the sheriff growled, "plenty of skin will be missing from your hide shortly after I get back here." Clark Weber was left alone with his thoughts when the sheriff stalk- ed out, and it was long after day- light before the disgruntled law- man returned. He had not found El Caballero Rojo â€" he had not much expected he would â€" and there seemed no advantage in longer keeping his prisoner in the juzgado. * • • Silently Sheriff Landc turned Clark Weber loose, and as word- lessly the man made all haste in getting away from the jail. But he did not leave the cow town. All day he stalked it, making every aciiuain- lance he could until he was cer- tain he had tapped every source of information there â€" true or fancied â€" regarding El Cab.nllero Kojo. Shortly before dusk he ended his (|iicst with a visit to Russ Bartle. When that was over, Weber was convinced of two things â€" that Ihe banker-tobacco farmer was a firm believer in law, order and justice; and that he was a most generous man. Por Harlle had cursed the sear- let • sashed, scarlet - masked rider heartily, and had promised Weber that if he succeeded In capturing El Caballero Rojo, the balance due on the Maxon Weber tract of land in the north etui of llic valley would be wiped out.

Your Handwriting and You Alex By S Arnott Suggestions for Choice of Vocation Dear Mr. Ariiott; Vour first ana- lysis of my script is most satis- factory. Now I would like a com- plete analysis of my handwriting. Please let me know what your vocational findings are; this part of your work is most interesting. * * * You have an emotional nature. quick to respond to sympathy and affection and especially to appeals that strike the heart. The emotional d :pth of your writing indicates these feelings are not a permanent part of your personality and this is evidence of a nature that does not ' .Id a grudge or a hate for any length oi time; they arc short lived and in time forgotten. "Dignity" writers are people who take great pride in personal things, especially conduct. This character- istic makes you a lover of conven- tion and customs and you will not jeopardize your character by taking short cuts that are not strictly ac- cording to rules of accepted stand- ards. \'. wi.-,h to be frank with others and wish them to be the same with you. You do not attempt to hide your feelings but show a marked tendencx tn be frank in rill that you do. Tl'' means that you are a conversationalist and lover of no' '"ty of speech. You show signs of have a prac- tical nature, giving you the power to plan for the fiitme and, although it may not be apparent to you, you do this subconsciously an<l without effort. You like to work toward a distant goal and are prepared to make sacrifices to accomplish this. Ability to be successful as an or- ganizer is also indic.-iled. t ♦ » Regarding your vocational tend- encies, you have the desire and natural ility to be constructive, to gather information in logical order, to draw your conclusions de- li' eratcly, not spasmodically, and to present your findings in a sim- plified for , for the benefit of others. Since your writing shows a love for children and a sense of responsibilitv. it is my conclusion that teaching would be an excellent choice of vocation. Other sugges- tions in choosing a vocation are nursing and child psychology. These would appeal to you due to your willingness to accept responsibility and also because of the emotional tendencies shown in your script. ylAy^^.^i-.^.^ S-^ Our raiders may receive ait iff teresliuy and instructive f'ersontil analysis .of their .handK'ritiiiy by â- Wilding an r.viini[-Ie of xmlinp uilh 25 cents and a slam fed, self-iuldrcs. sed envelope to ISox n.room 421, 7J Adchidc St West, Toronto.

Sunday School Lesson By Rev R Barclay Warreo A Prophet Among The Exiles Ezekiel 1: 1-3; 3:11, 17-21; 4:1-3. Golden Text: â€" Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. â€" Ezekiel, 3: 17. T'e theme of ti e lessons for the n cpiarter is "The Captivity a Return of the Jews". It be- gins with Ezcl.'el's ministry to Ihe captives and terminates with Ma- lachi's vision of the coming Mes" siah. Such - tudy is of particular interest this time, because in some important respects, history is re- peating itself. The Jews are again returning; to. Palestine. Even as there w-as fierce oppjsition then, so there is now. But nevertheless they are gaining entry. Ezekiel, a young priest, was one of the captives 1 d away to Baby- lon. While in captivity God called him to be a prophet to his people. (1) The heavens were opened, (2) he saw visions of God, (3) the word of ti.e Lord came expressly unto him and (4) the hand of the Lord was upon him: an open heaven, a present God, a distinct revelation and then ability to perform. Ezekiel vas m de to sense his heavy re- sponsibility as a watchman of Israel. If he failed lo warn the wicked their blood would be required at his liaiul. "N'ct if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his 'ckcdne nor from his wicked way, he shall die in hi-; iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." To save his own soul he must 1 " '-wise w'lrn the righteous man who turns from his righteousness and conunit.s iniquity. If the hither- to riHlitecuis man does not heed the warning, "he shall die in his >mi, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not he remembered.' Kzeki' ''s mctluids were nni(|ue. I'e 1: y on a i and graphically and objectively depicted ihe size of Jeru- salem. Thus the lessons were im- p-''ssed upon 'h' e.xiles by the eye gate as well as by the ear gate. Prophets have ofle- been uncon ventional. John Woloy preached from liis father's tomb.stone and at daybreak at tl. pit heads of the coal mines. Whilefield preached in the fields and General Booth went into the slums of London heralded by a drum. Missionaries use many novel methods. The all-important tiling i^ that the message be de- livered to the people. [ ANN€ HIRST Do You Fret About Your Children? What parent doesn't lie awake in the night's darkness wondering about the children' You compare their present be- havior now with that of a year ago, and you are discourag- ed. John if growing away from you, taking the bit in his teeth. Louise just will not study, her mind is on the boys. As for Dorothy, she is developing an attitude little short of insolent; any opposition is resented quickly. Where have you failed? Other parents have complained, too. Read this: "The children now love luxury; they have bad man- ners, contempt for authority, show disrespect for elders, and love chatter in place of exercise. Chil- dren now are tyrants, not the serv- ants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their par- ents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over their teachers." HAVE FAITH IN THEM ♦ .\s they grow and develop, ♦ you find that no rule works with * ^hem all through these years. * John must feel that you trust * him; let him alone as much as • you can. He is feeling his oats, ♦ and pretty confident. Louise * wilf have her come-uppance when • the term is over and her credits • aren't what they should be; she- • has to learn the hard way. Little ♦ Dorothy doesn't mean to hurt * you; you'll have to overlook her ♦ impudence now and then, and * guide that strong will of hers with a light rein. Have faith in these children. Praise them when you can, and try not to feel that each annoy- ing incident is a crisis that must be dealt with then and there. Let them know you trust them. Train * yourself to laugh with them, to • be more their friend than their ♦ monitor. Remember how you * felt at their agea,^ and show them ♦ you remember. • Then you will gain their con- * fidence. and that is what matteri, ♦ isn't it? TO "FRANTIC MOTHER OF THREE": Relax. Your children have good stuff in them, and •â-  they mature it will stand them in good stead. You are doing the best you can, so why worry so much? You cannot conceal your fears from, them, and the knowl- edge of them only robs them of the security every youngster needs to feel. They'll turn out all right. You did, you know. A mother who continually frets about her children unfits herself for her job. If one of yours is getting difficult, ask Anne Hirst's counsel.
