1^ OF REVENGE â-  Y JACKSON •COLE Synopsis CHAPTER XLI\ : Juaiiita, riding alone, is caught by Slicriff Lande, who believes sh' i«ilied Pringle. CHAPTER XLV Juaiiita was certain of her horse â€" but slic never gave a thought to the fact that only one rider in ten thousand would make the desperate attempt she contemplated. "Watch where yonVe going, atnigo," counsclec' Slicriff J^ande. "You're darned near ' Dead Fall Arroyo." juanita stared straight ahead. "Si, Benor," she said. "My horse is not afraid. \ on r" She rode on, her lips clamped, her heart still, her thoughts only for Michael \'aldcz. A word form- ed silently on her lips. Tlicn, like a plummet, she was out of sight. Sheriff Lande's low curse was more admiring than angry. He dropped to the ground, ran forward, peered over the cliff edge, but saw nothing. Nevertheless he emptied his gun at the clanging hoofs on the rocks. "Wlieu !" he niunibleii, and mop- ped the sweat fror his brow. "Well, I'm not trying that loco trick. Best we can do now is trv and head 'em off." L^lcrnn'ncd men who arc dead set on a destination and task, head for it with one-track minds. So it was with Clark Weber, Michael Valdez and Pete Haskell's men. Each knew where he was going, knew what he was about to do â€" and all were treading the danger trail. Wcljcr led the grim parade. At last he traveled down the cowtown's mud-puddled street with a greedy grin on his face. But it was sud- denly wiped away. For a window of the bank showed yellow beneath a partly drawn shade! Weber reined up short in the middle of the street as he growled out a low curse. - Light! Had Bartle left the farm? Could it be possible that lie had ignored Weber's warning and left, taking a short cut that would bring him here to town before Clark Weber himself? Curse him! He left his horse at the hitching rail. Twice he hammered on the downstairs door, then climbed on the outside stairs leading to the banker's living quarters and knocked peremptorily again. But there was no answer, nor sign of life within. He moved down the stairs, walked stealthily around the building, scan- ning it front and back. Then he remounted and rode to the saloon, where he sandwiched the horse between puncher's gray and dun animals. Bad business, he thought, for housebreakers to have their mounts at the door behind which they prowl. He hurried back to the bank. Tender hands and flabby muscles made it hard work to climb up on a porch roof at the rear of the bank. Puffing, he reached Bartle's window. The locked latch annoyed him. But the long, thin blade of his pocket knife fitted between the sashes and soon he had the window up. He stepped lightly into the larger of the two rooms of the living quarters. No one was there, so quickly he lowered the shade, then stood wondering which of the books on the orderly desk would yield the most helpful information. He picked up the smallest book. It was discouraging. The pages only informed him that they were kept by a man who wanted to know where every penny went. Even postage stamps were listed. Growl- ing, Weber flung the book down. He read parts of : letter plucked from a thick file. But a man does not brand himself by kee|)ing copies of letters offering to sell land which he owns. Weber's castles in Spain began to show cracks in their Advance Notes From the "Ex.'* How Well Do You Know Your Meat?

Had he dreamed all his pleasant dreams only to fiifd them fantasies? Snatching up a ledger he let it fall open haphazardly. Page Ten Farm Number Thir- teen . . The page halved by double red lines. Bought from a descend- ant of one of Don At'cro's people by Bartle. Price eleven hundred dollars. Sold to Thomas Buckley. Thirteen hundred dollars. "Legitimate profit," m u s i d V\'eber, his eVes following the diag- onal line almos' to the bottom of the page. "Buckley evidently liked the place. Stayed ten year and then â€" " His eyes flamed with hope. Behind Buckley's name in red inkâ€" "Deceased." Bought by Russ Bartle. Price, including improve- ments, thirteen hundred dollars. Sold to Steve Ransom. Price fifty- five hundred. Behind Ransom's name â€" "Deceased." Weber grunted, his eyes narrow- ed. For then he read that l^uss Bartle had again bought that same farm and behind the transaction was a net profit of twenty-two hun- dred dollars. "Andâ€" and we bought that same place from Bartle for fifty-five hun- dred," he gritted. "By the eternal, I see it now! Bring them in; drive them out or kill them. Buy. Sell. Always at a profit. Andâ€"" He glanced at a dozen pages be- fore becoming convinced that the Ransom place â€" the one he and the Maxons had bought â€" was the only one now with a red crayon question mark beneath the last entry. He slumped into a chair at the desk, picking up books and papers, scanning them hurriedly, throwing them aside, until he felt like a dog with so much food in sight that it didn't know which to eat first. He got up wet with perspiration, books and papers clutched under his arm, all atremble at fate's br d- smile, his eyes glittering. "So the Maxons thought they were through with me, eh?" he gloated. "Well, they are not â€" for from now on Pm Bartle's partner. Until I can get rid of him the way he's got rid of people he couldn't scare out of Deep Water Valley." In Weber's eyes blazed the same lust for power and wealth that had spurred Bartle on. He turned to- ward the open window â€" and in that moment his visions of the future melted away like lard on a blister- ing hot stove, evaporated by a specter clad in the garments of a conquistador of Old Mexico. "I'll take those books and papers," said the scarlet-masked terror at the window. "You â€" " Weber's throat closed up- "I! 1 believe I see now just w' y I let you live after our first meet- ing. But I imagine 1 taught you something then. Have I still got to teach you that I don't ask for anything twice?" Weber backed away from the awesome figure in the scarlet neck- erchief and sash. "There's nothing in these books that will interest . ou," he growled. "Mr. Bartle sen' me to fetch them toâ€"" "Your farm? Then he's the man to whom you were talking in the blacksmith shop." El Caballero nodded. "You threatened him. You are hoping to back up that threat with those books. Anyhow, what interests you interests me. No more palaver. â€"Unload." Weber sidled another foot nearer the door that opened on the stairs. The sharp command stung his ears. He dared not move another inch.

"There .'lall be showers of blessing" But most important of all is the aniiou.icement of God's promise of "my servant David a prince among them". This i one f the Messianic pro- phecies finding its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, a direct descendant of David. From such passages as this Daniel in the lesson, the He- brews came to think of the coming Messiali in terms of a great king. Tlu idea of a glorious earthly king- dom had a strong appeal. They fai' to appreciate the truth of the prophecies such as those given by Zechariah. True, Messiah is a king.

Amott Cultural Tendencies The formation of certain letters in handwriting strike a definite clue to the writer's personality. In this week's article, we have an unusu- al 'ormation of the small letter "e". Hildegard, Norma Shearer and Jean- nette MacDonald are but a few of the many talented people who in- stinct'velj use this one letter in this significant form. Notice how different the small "e" is formed, quite unlike the style taught us in our class room training. When the writer instinctively makes such a decorative "Greek" letter "e" i' is an almost certain sign of cul- tural inclinations. Such writers show preference for permanency and quality in the things they under- t.ke, not being sT' "ivi with ordin- ary achievements but striving for hi) .est possible accomplish- ments. Theirs is the ambition ta .=^ccun the highest quality of refine- ment in the arts -ind other forms of culture which permit expression of finer inner feeling.

Doctors Should Speak Carefully To Their Patients Doctors were warned about the dangers of instilling fear into pati- ents by the use of awesome medical terminology in an address made to the Massachusetts Medical Society by Si. Reginald Watson-Jones, or- thopaedic surgeon to King George V and Surgeon-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force. "Every word we utter can either help or retard a bed-ridden patient, and - - innocent word sometimes can delay or prevent total recovery," Sir Reginald told the Society. To illustrate, he related the ex- perience of a woman who had been ^ unable to sit for two years solely because her doctor had described a wrench she had had in her back in such impressive but unintelligible language that she believed she must b disabled, and she was. Many other patients are scared away from living a nonnal life merely because their doctors tell them they have mild arthritis, an ailment ''"ared because of its associa- tion with a severe type of arthritis, he ted. To tell a person to "go slow" he termed "terrible advice" until the doctor is sure that hi art trouble is present. If the doctoi warns a pati- ent to "go slow" because he is not sure, he may cause hardship as the patient will assume heart trouble and again sacrifice a normal living. "It is our duty to explain to pati- ents what they have and what we are doing in simple words and then make certain they understand." he said. Sir Reginald declared that psy- chology was half the battle in bring- ing recovery. "I submit that 100 per cent of the hospital beds are filled with psy- chological ailments, for it is impos- sible to be ill without psychological reflection," he said. "Yet no aspect of medical treat- ment is less recognized, more im- portant and more difficult." Competition Art Student: "You're the first model I've kissed." Model: "Really? How many hav« you had?"
