CHAPTER XVIIi "Rut I have decided to go with you, scnor," the girl said simply. "Wl'.ercvcr you go. I am going. Is not tlii.>i my fight, too? To what het- ter pur; ose could I devote my life? I ha^e nothing else to live for." "But you .'itill don't understand," Valdez told her a little desperately. "I am going now to Deep Water Valley, and there is much trouble there. Tl ere will be hlood.'-hed. and you will l)i' ill danger. \ou must â€" " "Then we arc going to Deep \\"ater \ alley. " the girl answered him. still cahnly. and \'aldcz did not know how to handle such a situa- tion as now confronted him. Not knowing, there appeared only one thing to do. There seemed noth- ing for it now hut to give in â€" at least for the time being. t *: * When .Michael \'aldez made no further protest, the girl fell in be- side him on I'edro. and they rode on. stirrup to stirrup. "Tell nic about Deep Water \"al- Icy," she said presently. "It is not a pretty situation there." Valdez .said, and his face clouded. ".•\s 1 understand it. a man named Don .Attcro used tci be a priest down in Sonora. Mejico. Once, when there came a cliange in government down there, the new authorities didn't like him and told him that he could not be a padre any more and told him he would have to get out. "He drifted up to Deep Water Valley with a good many of his former parishioners, and they help- ed him gel started again. Just so there would not be any wrangling over proiurty, he kept the title to all the property in the valley that they had settled. Btit he's dead now, and without him to rule, it seems that some other fcdks have got ideas in their heads about the property. That's always a cause of trouble, and there is trouble there now â€" plenty." Juanita n'"Mr<j understandingly. *And you always seek out trouble." ihe said. "Is there no longing in your soul for peace?" , He did not answer. His thoughts •ped to a blind man in a mission far to the south. How could he know tkat at the same moment the thoughts of the girl who rode be- tide hhn were also of the same man. Iind that her woman's intuition had told her that the blind man's hope was that soon, soon, this son of his would know peace?

"They point to the fact that the big boss of the whole shebang of crooks who have been stealing one range after another is some man somewhere in Deep U'ater Valley." His lijis tightened in the same grim mark of determination. "I've got to find thai man. "There is another reason I want to go to Deep Water \'allcy, too. There is another man there for whom 1 have been looking for a long time, hut not until recently did I have any idea where to find him. lie is an hombrc by the name of Train C rter. When I get the man who is the moving spirit back of all the devilment, and also get this Train Carter, I reckon my venge- ance will come to an end â€" and maybe there will be a chance for some of this peace you speak of, Juanita. It can't he long now. We should get to the valley by tomor- row night, and then â€" '' Th.erc was no need for further words. The two horses jogged ploiig together. * * • Jiianita, too, was silent a long time after Michael \aldcz had fin- ished speaking. But what thoughts were in her mind would have sur- prised him. This man beside her, this champion of the oppressed. El Caballcro Rojo, had stubbornly re- fused to admit it, but in her heart she knew that he needed her now, and that from now on he would always need her. Their trails had finally convertjrcd and merged into one. For she loved him. Subconscious- ly she had known it before she had ever ridden to the Mission, of Corp- us Christi, but the blind man who would never again loo'c at the light in a woman's eyes had opened hers until she had seen clearly into her heart. She glanced over at the silent man. wondering what thoughts were now beneath liis furrowed brov^-. ".\nd so we go, you and I, side by side." she said in the soft voice that somehow always sootiied him. ''tc Deep Water \'alley." Michael N'aldez nodded slowiv and did not protest this time. For it seemed to him, without giving the matter conscious thought, that des- tiny must have onlaincd that this beautiful, half wild young girl should join forces with him in bnttU- for the rig! I. <: * » .\II day and all night El Caballero Rojo and Juanita de Cucvas rode, like two crusaders of old â€" until the beautiful spot that was Deep Water \'alley was reached. It was a^other garden spot such as Paisano V^ailcy had ai)pearcd to the rider of the vengeance trail when he had fir.sl set eyes on that green vallcv. I.ibe two ghostly figures the rid- ers ir.oved through the darkened hour~, tlic low murmur of their voices blending with the night sounds. What they said, and what they planned, as they rode, covered all that could have been said be- tween them had they spent weeks in their planning. El Caballero Rojo was well used to making plans swiftly, and to putting them into action on the spur of the moment. Signals to be used between them when necessity arose were settled upon. Juaiiita's eyes, in the clear moonlight, were bright and shining with the spirit of adventure. She would make no mistakes, she had promised herself â€" and him. They had reached tjie valU\ , were at its very entrance, when they saw the huge cross on the top of an eminence that \'aldez identified as Mission Ride, by fhe cross that had been erected there in honor of fhe deposed priest who had settled with his faithful followers in this lusli, verdant spot. And it was some- where in this vicinity, said the letter now in El Caballero Rojo's pocket, that there would be found the two men for whom he was still looking â€" one them still a man of mystery. ♦ * * >. • .\s the cross, known far and wide as Don Attero's Cross, and a shrine for tnany a weary pilgrim, loomed up, Michael Valdez leaned over to- ward Juanita de Cucvas and mutter- ed a soft command. At once her slim form astride the sorrel faded into the brush beside the trail. It was precisely midnight when the cry of a mountain lion shattered the tomblike silence of the valley. It floated out on the crisp night air â€" • a long-drawn sound, ghastly, and pregnant with warning. It seemed to beg for a like response from some spot in the valley. But there was no answer â€" at once. Silence, intense and oppressive, gripped the moonlit expanse, making black vel vet of what would in the daylight hours l)e a carpet of emerald green Then came the answer of anothei ntountain cat.

Golden Text â€" Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. â€" Revelation 2:10. 'Of all tht books of the Bible the book of Revelation is the most dif- ficult to understand. If the seven churches addressed in chapters 1-3 symbolize successive periods of church history then Smyrna repre- sents the time immediately preced- ing the conversion to Christianity of Emperor Constantine. Many Christ- ians were put to death because they would not- renounce their faith. To the persecuted Jesus sends a mes- sage of encouragement and hope. He reminds them that He died but is alive again. So, if they are faith- ful, though they die for it. He will give them a crown of life. It is not an easy way. Jews assuming to be- long to God are among their per- secutors but, says Jesus, "Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer". "He that overcompth shall not be hurt of the second death." By the "second death" He is refer- ring to the lake which burneth with fire and biimstone in which the cowardly, faithless, polluted, mur- derers, fornicators, sorcerers, idol- aters and all liars will have their eternal abode. (Chap. 21). * • • John's vision as set forth in the second portion of the lesson is most impresive. Those of the innumerable multitude gathered from all nations are clothed in white, waving palms and giving glory to God and the Lamb. "These are they which came o!i*t of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." They are still serving. But how different is their lot now. "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, and 9)iall lead them unto living foun- tains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes". « * * The days of persecution are not past. Some of us have persecution in mild forms. But a great tribula- tion may be coming. We may ha«« y to choose between death and denjr- « ing Jesus Christ. Let us ever r»- ^ member the words' of the text: "B« .^ thou faithful unto death, and 1 wiO ^ give thee a crown of life".
