CHAPTER XXX "Xo. Dut uovic may come, scnor. Men strain at the leash. Cattlemen gay no more settlers shall enter the nortli part of Deep Water Valley. One man says they shall." "This one man," Valdez said musingly. ''Who is he? Did you hear his name?" "Si, scnor. His name is Russ Bartle, 1 have hear, and he is a banker here in the town of Gold Creek. More than tliat, most of the land in tlie valley is his. His busi- ness it is to bring these tobacco farmers into the valley, even know- ing that when they buy from him their lives hang on thin threads. He reminds me, senor, of the Senor Raymond Garvin who did the same thing in my own Paisatio Valley. But there seems not to have been the same reason Senor Garvin had â€" so far as 1 have heard. He does not try to take the tobacco farmers' land and run them away." « « » "Then wliat is his reason for bringing tliem in and making all the trouble?" juanita sliook her head discon- solately. "I do not know, senor. Un- less it is to show that he can do V. hat he pleases with what he owns, and may want to let the cattlemen know that he is greater rran than they, any of them." Her small dark head sliook as she sighed for the evil of the world. "But it is leading to a war be- tween the farmers and the ranchers, senor. It is leading to much blood- shed."

ISSUE 10-194$ said tightly. But he broke off short as a group of tired, dusty men en- tered the saloon. While he and Juanita pretended to be engrossed in their card game, both of them listened attentively to what the new arrivals had to say. As might have been expect- ed, the conversation touched upon the unsuccessful attempt to run down El Caballero Rojo, who had so unexpectedly appeared in Deep Water Valley. Men, it seemed, had combed the valley. But to no avail. Valdez leaned closer to Juanita. "Find out all you can about this Russ Bartle," he whispered. "Soon after dusk I'll go see the redheaded young man who was wearing my brand of clothes. Be there." * * * Michael \'aldez strolled over to the bar after Juanita left, with much flashing of white teeth at her pleasure in having met him, and in their card game. He ordered a drink. As he stood there with it in his hand he kept his ears open. The main thing he was thinking about now was that somewhere in or near this town was a man in whom he was particularly and per- sonally interested, a man whom he desperately wanted to find. But he had no way of knowing who that man uas. He had already accounted for two of the men who had set his feet in the vengeance trail, but there were at least two others of whom he knew. Train Carter was one of them, if he should be going by his right name now. .*\nd then there was the, "big boss" who was still nameless. Valdez was just finishing his drink when a word from down the bar reached his ear and froze his hand halfway to his mouth. It- was a simple greeting from one of the men at the bar to another man who had just entered the saloon. "Hello, there, Train Carterl Long time no see. What brings you here to Gold Creek?" Instantly Michael Valdez' body stiffened. TrainI Train Carterl The man whose name was in the re- vealing letter still in X'aldez' poc- ket, the name that seemed to bt leapmg out of It to sear Michael Valdez' skin. Valdez' eyes raised slowly, and he scanned the faces in the back bar mirror, Coldly he picked out the cruel face that he knew must be the face of Train Carter, one of the men who had been the mur- derers of Valdez' mother. The nijin who had been hailed as Carter halted at the end of the bar. The bartender placed -a bottle and a glass before him, and Carter poured himself a man-sized drink. He leaned on the bar-rail, rested an tlluuv upon the mahogany, then picked up his filled glass and tossed down his drink. With an uncon- scious gesture that seemed instinc- tive he hunched i^p the big forty- five that sagged from one hip and swung the holster around to the front. • • * Michael Valdez put down his own glass, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and walked toward Train Carter. His face be- neath the black wig was set and masklike, his stride sure and pur- poseful, the gait of a man deliber- ately set for trouble. Men recognized that, too. There was an uneasy stir among those nearest Valdei. People nearest Carter and Valdex at the bar lost no time in getting out of a possible line of fire. For there was some- thing in the eye* of the Strang* vaquero that spelled death. Valdet strode down tht room un- til he was at the end of the bar. Carter was (tcin( him, watching him suspiciously, not knowing what it was all about, but his hand was hovering over the walnut butt of his pistol. Then coldly, calmly, Vatdw spoke.

Your Handwriting and Vou aux I^Amot, An interesting letter comes to me from one of dur Ontario read- ers and she writes in part: I never miss reading your interesting art- icles on handwriting analysis and I look forward to them each week with much interest. Although I am G9 years old and not able to get around like I used to, I would lik* to have my handwriting analysed so that I may know my faults and begin to correct them. * • * In reply to your request I may say that you are to be commended for your style of writing at such a late time of life for there is clearness and exactness with good control over emotional feelings shown in the script. As you point out in your letter' that a little in- sight into your character might have brought different results dur- ing your life, 1 think you are re- ferring to temper, the strongest of all your characteristics. This trait is indicated in your writing by the flying "t" bars which are heavy and spearlike, darting off into space without touching the stem of the letter "t". Fortunately the length of the bar is short, indi- cating that the temper is sliort lived. Vou are apparently aware of this and I might add that you do not hold a gnidge for very long, being ever ready to forgive and for- get after xonr temper has cooled down. 4! V »s Look at tlie strokes u liicli begin and end all your words and you will find another interesting trait of character in your writing. These strokes have what is commonly known to graphologists as a small "fish hook" and this sign is con- clusive evidence of your desire to hold on to ideals and purposes. It is indicative of a cha.racteristic that makes you set in your ways a^d opinions, as you do not ac- cept new ideas or principles readily hut must be convinced by exper- ience of their merits. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Is it correct for people to wear deep mourning for a child? A. It is not customary to do this.

Golden Text â€" Then said Jesus to them .gain, "peace be unto you; as my Father has se;.t me, even so send I you." â€" John 20: 21. Philip was one of the seven men closen to look after the daily mini- stration of the people of God. But he did not stop with doing this work. He went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them. A notable work was done and "there was great joy in that city". Then Philip was told by the angel of the Lord to "go to- ward the south of the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza". This is a desert road. This assignment wts certainly different from preaching in the citj of Sam- aria. But God never errs. Here was an Ethiopian of great authority returning from worship at Jerus^em. As he sat in his ch iot he was reading the Scrip- tures. Though we travel much more comfortably today by plane, train ancbus, it is not often that the Bible is being read. Magazines and books have i decided priority over the best Book. Philip explain- ed the Scripture and preached Jesus to the eunuch. He believed and was baptized in token of his faith to Jesus Christ as hi: Saviour. The 'Spirit of the Lord caught away Phili-- and the eunuch went on his way rejoicing. Jesus said, ".^s ray Father hath sent me, even so send I you". It is the responsibility wf every Christ- ian to bear personal witness of Jesus Christ. The individual wit- ness can be very effective. Jesus spoke personally to Nicodemus, the woman at the well, Zachaeus and others. Easier That War The class was having a genenl knowledge lesson.
