"Have you been in the barn loft?" demanded Weber. Her dem'al died at sight of what lay in the palm of his outhrust hand. It was a hairpin, one of the rubber kind she used. He stooped, grabbed up one of her shoes from where it lay beside the bed and spat out a curse as he dig- covered the sole was caked with moist mud. "Yes I" Ellen flung at him de- fiiantly. "I have been in the barn loft. I set that poor little Mexican peon free! And you set me free when you tried to do such a con- temptible thing as to kidnap him to try to get gold from his father!

Your Handwriting and You By Alex. S. Amott Roy Rogers' Handwriting Our readers should be especi- ally interested in this week's analy- sis as it is that of the handwriting of Roy Rogers, king of the cow- boys and famous motion picture star. If you have followed Roy's pic- ture exploits you will know that they feature especially his gallant- ry in protecting the weak and un- fortunate. His script is written with light, fine lines, a strong in- dication ^f a spiritual nature which tends toward idealism and nobility of thought. Independence is shown in the letter "d", revealing Roy's desire to do things according to his own inclinations rather than those of other peopleâ€" typical of the pioneering spirit. Extra large loops in his capital letters are also typical of the adventurous type of person, always willing to take bold steps. The smallness of the writing gives an appearance of concentration â€" a sign of power to focus attention on the more important issues. In some of the other letters, having decided loops with tight knots to close them, we see tenacity that ,will stick to a problem until it has been solved. On the whole Roy's writing is a good illustration of sincerity of purpose, really remarkable energy and a high-spirited personality.

Barclay Warrea. Daniel Stands By His Convictioni. Daniel 1:8-20. Golden Text: â€" But Daniel purpos- ed in his heart that h would not d«- file himself v ith the portion of th« king's meat, nor with the wia« which he retjuestcd of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not de- file himself. â€" rani..l 1:8. " Daniel has always been "a boy's hero". As a lad he was- taken a cap- tive in Jerusak-in .'.nd led off to Babylon, the capital city of a pagan empire. He was to b" fed with th« portion of the king'.- meat and with the wine which he drank as part of his preparation to appear before th« king. In such circumstances it would have bien easy to ignore the teachings of his youth concerning clean and unclean ata. But Can- iel purposed in his heart that h« would not defile himself. Yet h« was not offensive about it and court- eously requested that he and his companions be tester' for ten ays on a diet which would not be in conflict wilh his convictions. God blessed them physically, intellect- ually and spiritually for this noble stand. When they appeared before the king, he found t':at in all mat- ters of wisdom and understanding they were ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers in his realm. King \ebuchadnez2ar was am- azed â€" and convinced. For the bal- ance of their school days Daniel and his companic were permitted to continue their sir-nle diet. With the courage of convictions Dan- iel dared to "sta alone" and, even in the face of possible danger to himself, to do what he had been brought up to regard as right «id proper. The pledge of abslineuce from all that defiles was the safe course for those young visitor to Babylon, magnificent capital of the greatest empire then upon t' globe, there is no wiser course for those, young and old, livinp in the present eras, more than two thou^ -id years atcr.
