BYNOPSIS CHAPTER IN: El Cabellero Rojo makes plans to obtain another horse for Juanita, He tells her that there is something she can do to help him which he will explain to her later CHAPTER xX He studied her cager face a mo- ment in the light of the candle flame. "Jo vou know where the Mis- sionof Corpus Christi is?" he ask- ed her abruptly. "21, senor," she said cagerly. "It is at the foot of the-range near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains." ' "You think you could find it without any trouble--alope?" Juanita repeated, puzzled vow. "But what" Valdez nodded. "Tontorrow, when I go get your horse from, your hone, 1 want you to ride there witha package and a mes- sage from' me. It is most import- ani.

Juanita lay wide awake, think- ing. She tried to see through the darkness to where he 'lay sleeping, but when she thoughts turned in another direc- tion. Faery event of the last hours passed through her mind in swift review. © There were so many things about EI Caballero Rojo that she still could not understand. And now this! Why should he be interested in the Mission of Corpus Christi--in any mission? He, whom some men called out- law? Could it be possible--but surely no, no!--that he wanted to find out about it because he was planning to raid it for its plate mon 4 Smaps, | Sv RTE Tr rh wad wo ro IRAE Ag ik This is the overblouse that really puts you over!

How * * * Guessing gave her no answers, however, though that last question in her mind was comforting. She could help him--and she scolded herself bitterly for those other va- grant thoughts. She was being dis- loyal to this man, her one and only amigo. He could 'do no wrong; he would iiot. Whatever it was he wanted her 'to do it would be only to help other people. It was. with that final thought that Juanita'at last slept. When she awoke EI Caballero Rojo was making a mnteal over a little fire he had built in the center of the cave. But he did not look like the Red Cavalier now, for he had discarded his fgaudy rai- ment and wore the charro gach and the black wig in which she had seen him first. ) ¥ * * . He Straightened up. from the fire and glanced over: toward the pine-bough cot,, and grinned when he saw her dark eyes wide open, looking at him with surprise. "You sce I'm all ready to ride back to the valley and get that horse of yours, just as soon as we have a bite of breakfast. You think anybody's likely to recog- nize me like this?" " "No. senor," Juanita said softly. "But--", o Then swiftly she arose. "Let me do that, senor!" she exclaimed. "It is women's work. Since I. have drive you from your bed it is well that I do-some little thing for you." She took the coffee pot from his hands and set to work busily. Watching her, Valdez thought he had never seen anyone so deft and so graceful, even in the tattered "sheepherder"s clothing she still wore, As the firelight gleamed in the ebon of her hair that hung free, and crimsoned the creamy flesh of her arms and throat, he found himself unconsciously won- déring what she would look like in the lovely garments of a girl, garments such as she was born to wear. 3 BE EY * As quickly he shoved that thought from him. What was he thinking of? EI Caballero - Rojo had no business with such thoughts. Juanita had the breakfast all |__prepared speedily, and they sat would it help him? te a troublous world had taught him uncanny speed with weapons while he was still in his teens, and thotigh he had always had a natural way with horses, he had learned how to handle the most dangerous out- law from other mg¢n to whom. horseflesh was life. But now that seeined ages ago-- in another life. For on that day when the, young Michael Valdez had opened the door of his home on his tragedy, he 'had on the in- stant 'left behind his devil-may- care life 4s a young. vaquero and become a man---a man who had a rendezvous with destiny. So deep was Michael Valdez in his own musings that for a mo- ment he had forgotten Juariita, had fargotten that he was not alone, as 'was his custom. He came to himself with a start when he | heard her insistent voice, as if she might have asked a question sev- eral times and had no answer. "When I have done for you this thing you wish] me to do, senor," she was saying>a little plaintively, "then you will tell me what more I can do for you? We will ride together, no?" y Climpsing her eager face, he hadn't the heart to tell her the truth--then. "There will be much riding for both of us, of course, Juanita," he said gently, and then he gave a start and jumped to his feet, "Madre de Dios!" he exclaimed. "The sun is long up, and I must ride for your horse. I told you it was important that you start for the mission today." (To be Continued) This filet crochet chair set is in No. 30 cotton.

BOB'S." If I had launched out on one of my frequent prescriptions on how to lose a girl friend, I couldn't have done better than you did. You had to be the big shot, didn't you? Taking all, giving nothing-- reminding the girl, by sins of omis- sion, how lucky she was#that you came to see her at all, and bestow- ed upon her the great gift of your love! You 'depended on your charm (ana 1 cxpect you have plenty) to carry you through. ized that to hold a nice girl you had to deserve her. Girls dow't realize that their sweet- hearts are usually the product of the training former girls have given them. It isn't hard for a smart girl to judge pretty accurately what kind of girls her boy friend has known. This girl you have lost has set your standards of behavior, now, toward ail the others vou will ever know. If you profit by it, I predict that when you fall in love again you'll sweep the girl off her feet. All your life you will _be gratefut to this girl who told you why you lost ont.

Sunday School Lesson Creative Power of Faith "Hebrews 11:1-10, 39-40; 12:1-2 GOLDEN TEXT--Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. --Hebrews 11:1, There could be no better defini- tion of faith than that given by the author of the Book of Hebrews. It is "the. substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' As such it is the essence and foundation of all religion. But it is: more than that. It underlies, and is- the motive power of, all cre- ative activity, if not of all life, The poet, . the artist, sees his ac- complished work first of all in vision, but without faith the idea, "the vision, would never be ae- complished. So, also, in life. If we had no faith in a tomorrow, there would be little meaning in life to- day. * ' It is here that religious faith finds its true significance and meaning. It is the anchorage for souls, when everything seems to be going wrong. The Hebrews author expounds the meaning of this sort of faith by its great examples, and these * * _.in their. very nature are impres- sive. and instructive. They have to do with matters that were dif- ficult and doubtful--journ&ying in- to a. new, far-off, and unknown land, trusting promises that were as yet far from fulfillment, facing suffering, persecution, and death-- all that men, in one way or an- other, have faced, and will face even in an atomic age. And his story is of those' who, through faith, were builders and con- querors. * * It is, or ought to be, an inspiring story for today, What the world needs above all else is the faith to overcome disaster, and the faith to go on in spite of peril and dif- ficulty. ak ; This is the place of religion, and the world's need of it. The ancient writer said 'that without" faith it is impossible to please God. And it is God's .provision for man's life that "without faith he cannot work out his own salvation.
