"You" â€" his eyes singled out N'elson â€" "you know something of ine. Come here. Pick up that box, and don't let a finger get in- side of it. Sabe?" The old man moved carefully ai he obeyed. \'aldez looked at no one in par- ticular. "You gents miglit pick up a gun when 1 turn my liack," he said. "All right â€" as long as you don't 1 it. If you do, you'll need a new leader." "And if we don't use one?" in- ciuired a young farmer. "Y'our leader will be back â€" pronto. Unharmed. But when he leaves! here with me I demand that for forty-eight hours not one man of you will lift a hand aRainst any cattleman for any reason. Is that plain?' ♦ * » "We've got a right to protect ourselves," old Nclsot. protested. "The law does nothing for us an â-  â€" " "The law is sometimes like a mole, amigo," \'aldez said tightly. "It often cannot see the clearest things. We won't palaver about that. In forty-eight hours you might get information that will open your e. â€" and make you glad I kept your hands clean of blood." "We'd fee! a heap better if we knew whether our for us or against tls," the old man muttered. â- I'm with you," F.I ' 'iballcro Rojo •aid grimly. L'rging Nelson along with him. â-  V O N • e L E El Caballero Rojo hastily left the crowded room. When he and the old man were almost out of sight of the house, Valdez called a halt. He whistled. There came a slosh of hoofs in the mud and the smell of a horse. The animal was all but invisible. "That's all for you, Mr. Nelson," Valdez said, mounting. "I thought it best to have sort of a â€" er â€" chaper- one this far. Now you can go back, and you'll have no trouble if you keep those men of yours quiet for two (' ;s." Suddenly the old man was alone. He heard retreating hoofbeats, but saw nothing. When he returned to the farmhouse he was smiling. "Forty-eight hours," Nelson said. "He'll do more than we could â€" faster, better â€" or I don't know a real man when I buck against one. Meeting adjourned." * * * Hiding in a thicket the heavy box of guns he had taken away from the tobacco farmers, Valdez cover- ed them with brush. He spent a few seconds in silent debate. Should he continue his search for Juanita? Or make the m( st of darkness in • other effort to uncover the rea- son and the source of the valley outrages? He decided in favor of the latter, for it was certain that Juanita's dis- appearance could best be solved by dayligl'.t. But even as he made his decis' n lie realized he hadn't half own until now how much this strange, half wild girl had come to mean to him. He had done his best to keep any such thoughts from hjui, but they were there now in full strength. And the thought that she might be in danger filled hitn with the unfamiliar sickness of fear. He mounted El Cielo, heedless of the slcct-covered saddle, and con- fident that the sure-footed ani- mal could stilt carry him to the Half -"ircle H Ranch, and Pete Has- kell. The ramlihouse alone showed siRUs of life, and there only one room, the second floor, seemed to be occujiied. Hastening to the house, he climbed swiftly up to the second story. Then he was on his stomach, edging toward the ranch- man's bedroom. He peered in through the window. The lamp was on the table between door and buieaii. Haskell was on the edge of the bed, drawing off his boots, his back toward both wiinlow and lamp. • • » \ aldez knew that if the s^sll should be slowly raised a cold draught would quickly bring the cattleman face about. And Haskell had not yet imbuckled his bolster and gun. The very .second the Inillet- studded belt left Haskell's fingers, however, Valdez flung up the sash. H^: was inside the roo as soon as the cowman whirled. "Sit down â€" not too close to your gun," Valdez said softly. "It's a habit of mine to get both sides of any story," El Caballero Rojo said quietly. "About the ructions going on in the valley, I reckon?" Haskell's eyes were thoughtful. "Heinp a kind of boss on this range you should be able to answer for all the cattlemen in these parts," said Valdez. "None of us know anything about an of the fires and killings," Has- kell grov led. "Hut you held a war counsel about dawn yesterday morning," Valdez reminded him. Haskell reddened. "Sure we did. And we decided that If the tobacco men fence off Orep Water River in the north end of the valley we'd tear it down, every blessed time they put the slicks up." ' "Won't Martle, who owns the land, meet you halfway?" "Halfway?" Haskell swore ferv rnlly. "He won't give us an inch. We offered to buy the north end of tlie valley for what it's worth, hut h"'s asking a road a(;ent's price."

Amott Jane Wyman's Script Analysed Tuda>'s li.indwriting comes from Miss jane W ynuin, well-known mo- tion iiiclnii' star. Notice the letter "j" in the word Jane. See how spacious the loops are, especially the upper one. This iiKlK-ates a person who can meet others and make liicnds easily, ha\ ing ease of adapting herself to new cimihticms. She iniderstands the shortcomings of others and en- deavours to smooth things over ra- ther than to pursue an unpleasant issue. Tlie height of the "J" above the writing line is almost equal to the depth of the loop below. This is a good sign ol the balance between the idealistic mind and the desire for materialistic tilings. The tireek letter "c" is a rarity in any hamhvriting. This letter is not written like a small "e" but is very much like a capital letter. This tells me tli.it the writer enjoys cultural pursuits and ' is at home with all things which elevate the mind. Art and painting interest Miss Wyinan for she has natural talent to lilend colours. The large luniks on each end of the script reveal tenacity and the power to hold on until success has been reaclieil.

The Temple in the Nation's Life Ezra 3:10â€"13: Psalms 84:1-2; Ezekiel 11:16; 37:26-28. Golden Text â€" O Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before tlie Lord our Maker.â€" Psalms 95: 6. Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob presented their oiTcrings and worshipped God in the great outof- doors, under the open canopy of heaven. Moses, on divine instruction, built a moveable tabernacle in the wilderness. Later, when Israel enter- ed the promised land, this was re- placed by a magnificent temple in the reign of Solomon. Nebuchadnezzar destroyed this place of worship in 587 B.C. About SO years after, the re- turned exiles laid the foundation of a new temple. It was an occasion of great rejoicing. But while many shouted for joy, the older men, re- calling the grandeur of the former temple, wept because, in comparison, the new one was greatly inferior. * * « Every disappointment can prove a blessing if we have God. Those who had been taken into captivity had learned that God could be worshipped.'' even away from the temple at Jeru- salem. There had been a spirtualizing of their worship. God had spoken to them through the prophet Ezekiel, saying, "Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary." • • * The church edifice, be it simple or ornate, ought to be a place where we meet with God. For that reason it should have a large place in our life. Assembling with others with the ex- press purpose of worshipping can prove a great blessing to every one of us. God must not be confined to par- ticular buildings designated fQ£ that purpose. It must be an habitual atti- tude of soul. We must walk and talk with God day by day and hour by hour. Thus by our daily life we will express the idea of true worship. Advance Notes From the "Ex."
