THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., APRIL 1, 1948 SALADA TEA GAB S h. * .1 a r i OF REVENGE JACKSON - COLE Synopsis CHAPTER XXXIII: Clark Weber asks Bartle how much money he would give for the capture of Val-dez. Bartle tells him he will forget the balance of the mortgage on his property for the capture of the supposed bandit. CHAPTER XXXIV He dismounted, led his horse behind a shaft 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 the adjoining room was open--and framed in the rectangle of light stood El Caballero Rojo! Clark Weber crouched spellbound. Then both his hands sagged to the cold butts of his Colts and he began to lift the heavy weapons. 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's footsteps were moving closer and closer. Chills did a hornpipe down Weber's spine. He did not even dare fire toward those creeping footsteps, for he was recalling, only too well, how El Caballero Rojo could move like pronged lightning and shoot straighter than a warrior's arrow. In the next split second Clark Weber decided where his one chance to sidestep his grave lay. He tried to run silently, but broke into reckles flight when he heard an angry sound behind him. Panting, he reached his horse and flung himself into saddle. 4950 -fake Pattern 49S0 your first project this term! Check it in cotton for . crispy school :and-date dress.

ISSUE 14 ■ 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 himself 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 toeholds. He heard the beat of his own horse's hoofs as it ran on, "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 opposite him, Weber leaped as a mountain lion leaps on the back of a fat calf. The shock sent both of them 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 eyes and dropped her in a senseless heap. Gasping for breath, Weber worked frantically to bind his prisoner's wrists and ankles. The girl in the boy's clothing stirred, struggled to rise, but relaxed in the face of a gun. "Why do you do this to me?" she demanded angrily. "I think maybe you can guess," Weber drawled, and laughed triumphantly. "I'm going to use you to bait a trap for your friend, El Caballero Rojo. His pelt is worth Juanita trembled with fury. After all her efforts at secrecy someone at last knew of her connection with the scarlet-masked She was thinking swiftly. Somehow she would have to convince him he was in error. "El Caballero Rojo?" she repeated plaintively. "Senor makes the mistake. I know no such person." "Hummph!" "If you're lying, hombre," 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 stalked out, and it was long after daylight before the disgruntled lawman returned. He had not found El Caballero Rojo -- he had not much expected he would -- and there seemed no advantage in longer keeping his prisoner in the juzgado. Silently Sheriff Lande 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 acquaintance he could until he was certain he had tapped every source of information there--true or fancied --regarding El Caballero Rojo. Shortly before dusk he ended his quest with a visit to Russ Bartle. When that was over, Weber was convinced of two things -- that the banker-tobacco farmer was a firm believer in law, order and justice; and that he was a most generous man. For Bartle had cursed the scarlet - 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 end of the valley would be wiped out. Dusk found Weber patrolling b«' tween Don Attero'j Cross and the Aldman tobacco farm. He rode a borrowed pinto that gave promise of being as fleet as El Caballero Rojo's gallant blue roan.

Your Handwriting and You Alex sByArmm Suggestions for Choice of Vocation Dear Air Arriott: Your first analysis of my script is most satisfactory. Now I would like a complete analysis of my handwriting. Please let me know what your vocational findings are; this part of your work is most interesting. 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 1 Id a grudge or a hate for any length of time; they are short lived and in time forgotten. "Dignity" writers are people who take great pride in personal things, especially conduct. This characteristic makes you a lover of convention and customs and you will not jeopardize your character by taking short cuts that are not strictly according to rules of accepted stand- Y. wish to be frarik with otfcezs and wish them to be the same with you. You do not attempt to hide your feelings but show a marked tendency to be frank in all that you do. TH means that you are a conversationalist and lover of nof'ty of speech. You show signs of have a practical nature, giving you the power to plan for the future and, although it may not be apparent to you, you do this subconsciously and 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 organizer is also indicated. Regarding your vocational tendencies, you have the desire and natural ility to be constructive, to gather information in logical order, to draw your conclusions deli' erately, not spasmodically, and to ..present your findings in a simplified for , for the benefit of others. Since your writing shows a love for children and a sense of responsibility, it is my conclusion that teaching would be an excellent choice of vocation. Other suggestions 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 show in your script.

The wife nodded at last,' and the husband turning to the agent, exclaimed resignedly, "Well, I guess we'll take it, although it is much too small." "I don't see why," retorted the real-estate man, "the apartment was planned for two people."

Golden Text:-- Son of man, 1 haye made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. -- Ezekiel, 3: If. 'Vhe theme of tie lessons for the l . n quarter is "The Captivity a ' Return of the Jews". It begins with Ezek'ePs ministry to the captives and terminates with Ma-lachi's vision of the coming Messiah. Such - tudy is of particular interest ' this time, because in some important respects, history is repeating itself. The Jews are again returning to Palestine. Even as there was fierce opposition then, so there is now. But nevertheless they are gaining entry. Ezekiel, a young priest, was one of the captives ! d away to Babylon. 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 tl.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 responsibility as a watchman of Israel. If he failed to warn the wicked their blood would' be required at his hand. 'Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his •ckedne , nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." To save his own soul he must 1" ewise wirn the righteous man who turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity. If the hitherto righteous man does- not heed the warning, "he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered." Ezekid's methods were unique. I"e by on a t and graphically and objectively depicted the size of Jerusalem. Thus the lessons were im-p-ess«d upon '->e exiles by the eye gate as well as by the ear gate. Prophets have ofte- been unconventional. John Wesley preached from his father's tombstone and at daybreak at the pit heads of the coal mines. Whitefield preached in the fields and Ceneral Booth went into the slums of London heralded by a drum. Missionaries use many novel methods. The all-important thing is that the message be delivered to the people. [ ANN£ HIRST I Do You Fret About Your Children? What parent doesn't lie awake in the night's darkpess wondering about the children"1 You compare their present be- that of a year ago, and you are ed.S Vohn3 fs 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 manners, contempt for authority, show disrespect for elders, and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over their teachers." HAVE FAITH IN THEM * As they grow and develop, * you find that no rule works with * them 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 * will 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.

Your children have good stuff in them, and as 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 knowledge 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.
