Haven't you heard enough of him to know that he rides the trails that some people call crook- ed â€" and that whatever they arc, he always rides them alone?" For the first time he seemed to wonder why the girl was stand- ing in the trail, and that her horse was lying on the ground. "I don't know what to do with you, Juanita," he said flatly. "You are a problem, .^nd now you arc afoot. How did that happen?" She looked sadly at the horse that lay panting on the ground.

He has been brave, but when he is tired to the death, and then stumbles in a hole in the trail" â€" she spread her arms wide in a gesture of futility â€" "what can you do?" Tears were very near her eyes as she looked at the horse which was the lone remaining thing of her poor home that was no more. "I â€" I fear, senor, that he may have broken his leg." Valdez' momentary e.xasperatioii with the lovely Spanish girl swift- ly turned to concern. He loved horses, and could not bear to sec one suffer. In a flash he was down from his own mount and was ex- amining the bare-ribbed liorse that had so valiantly carried Jua- nita so far. But he would carry her no farther, he saw at first glance. Poor Pancho's days were numbered. <: * * "Juanita," he said soberly as he turned to the girl, "get' on El Cielo there and ride out of hear- ing. Your â€" Pancho â€" well, you're a ranch girl. You know." "I know," she said bravely, "but I will stay. Pancho was â€" my last friend, besides you, El Caballero Rojo. He would not like nie to go away because he must leave me." "Just as you say," Michael Val- dez said, and saw the girl turn her back and hide her face in her hands. One shot rang out â€" Pancho's requiem. Valdez turned from the dead horse and went over to the girl whose back was turned to him, her slender shoulders shak- ing. He gently took her hand* away iroui her eyes. There were tears in them, but she faced him bravely. "Now what, Juanita?" he said, and repeated, "What shall I do with you?" « * » "I will BO with you, senor," she said simply. ".'Vs I have said." She brushed the tears from her eyes and smiled confidently at him. The Irish in him felt a quick spasm grip his heart. As perplex- ed as he was, facing a situation like this with which he had not the slightest idea how to deal, such fealty as hers, though un- wanted, unlookcd for, was some- thing new and refreshing in his lonely life. "The outlaw trail is hard, Jua- nita," he finally said. "Justice is not always attained by legal means and long ago 1 made up my mind to see that others got it by any means whatsoever. Maybe right now with your fresh grief for your parents, your passionate wish to do something to avenge their deaths, it seems fine and free to you. But you don't know. Other times â€" it is not so nice. It'.; a way of life that is not for a girl, Juanita." "It is for me," Juanita said, as though repeating a litany. "Where you go, I go." * » * ".^n(l right now it looks 'like if you do," N'aldtz burst out, a little exasperated, "that you'll go walking." Juanita waved a small sun- browned hand toward V,\ Cielo, standing immobile with dragging reins. "Your mount," she said, "he is fine and . . . He will carry two, yes?" ".\nil where?" demanded Val- dez. "Where do you think I could fake you? Good little girl, don't you know I was getting out of Paisano Valley because I thought it might be dangerous for me af- ter what happened tonight in Luna Roja? Where could I take you?" Juanita only repeated the whim- sical Irish grin that swept across Valdez' features wiped away the ISSUE 40â€" 1947 m Homemade Bread may reappear on many tables as bread prices soar following removal of subsidies.

COI.Dr.y 'I EX I -.1 cms .with . . he thai halh seen me halh seen Ihe Tather.-John 14 :9. This lesson is the first of a three- month .series based on the messaf;es of the New Testament Epi.stles, other than those by Paul. One fact conccrniiig the Pauline Epistles, the EpislKs by lames, Peter, and John, which Paul certain- ly did not write, and the Epistle lo the Hebrews, is that they are all agreed in a common faith in Jesus as the Messitih, in belief in His saving power, in His rcssurrection and living presence through the Holy Spirit, and in their conception of the Christian fellowship nii<l the nature of the Christian liii' This could be demonstrated in many parallels of actual expression, though each Epistle may have its particular emphasis. James, for in- phasis on faith, but in Paul's more stance, emphasizes wtuks as the evi- dence of faith, where Paul imts cm- extcnsivc writings one would find many passages that, as strongly as James, stress the practical nature of Ihe Christian life. So. also, though John is the apostle of brotherly love, all that he says only strengthens what Paul wrote of love in I Corin- thians 13. And whtn Peter writes of believers as "partakers of the divine nrtlure," it is precisely what Paul has written in Ephesans 3 :19. Belief in Jesus as the Messiah and the fulfilment of Jewish hopes and prophecies, is dominant in the Oin'stian church ; and it is at this point that the devout Christian and the devout Jew differ, though they have the Old Testament in common. It is a difTercnce of belief that is not nnimportant, but it should not in any sense be an occasion of intoler- ance or unbrotherliness. If the Jew lives up to all that is best in the Old Testament, and the Christian up to all that is best in the New, the spirit of both Testaments would make im- possible the intolerance and preju- dice that have led to so much suffer- ing and tragedy. It is in ideals of peace and good will that Judaism and Christianity both find their high- est expression.
