"If you'll give 'hem hack to nie and let me go." "You have no ohjg:tions!" El Caballero Rojo's laugh was a sar- castic snort. "Put those books on that cliair beside jou. Six-gun on top. Be careful. Sabe?" Clark Weber obeyed. He watched the velvet-dad man- stalk to the chair. Weber's every nerve and muscle were under rigid control, for lie knew that when lie moved h must be with the speed of light. He saw one gauntlctcd hand seize paper and the other move for the top ledger. "Now" he told liiniseli. Pete Haskell rode down Gold Creek's main street flanked by Luke Wallace and Tim Callahan, and with the cavalcade of ranchers be- hind tlicni They saw that the shade in Bartle's living quarter •was drawn, and that a light glowed behind it. Haskell pulled up his horse. "It was agreed that I speak to Bartle •lone," he reminded. "Yep." Wallace nodded. "I'll ride herd on the boys â€" but not far from tlie hank. Get on with it, Pete. Good luck â€" for Bartle's sake." The range veteran got from his horse and strode toward tlie bank, ^yes lowered and chin down.

That was the wisp of smoke curl- ing and fading about the ceiling. It came from a gun in the hand covered by a glittering gauntlet. Halfway down the stairs was the body of a man. Papers littered the steps. Even now the scarlet-mask- ed apparition was scooping them up â€" and at Haskell's elbow stood Luke Wallace, demanding to know why the cowman could not get in. Then Wallace saw! His hand swooped on his gun. "El Caballero I\ojo!" he yelped. "Wait!" Haskell conuiianded in an angry whisper. "Plenty import- ant, those papers, or he wouldn't expose himself like that to get them." "That's not Bartle on the stairs," rasi>ed Wallace. "I'm beginning to see things! This gent in the velvet and things is in cahoots with Bar- tle! He's the one who has been killing and burning in tlie valley, for Bartle, curse him!" "Quiet! Let's see what happens." "See, your Aunt Maria! Stop him! He's getting back upstairs â€" he's getting away!" Wallace whirled, ran to t!ic otiier ranchers, barking orders "I'orm a ring around the build- ing! A pair of you stand guard at each trail out of town. l{al Cabal- lero Kojo is in the bank!" It must have been a sixth sense that warned Michael Valdez of the closing jaws of a trap. For even as he hurriedly glanced at the ledger of the landowner he heard Pete Haskell's voice. Split seconds were precious time. And even as Luke Wallace ripiied out his orders, \alilcz went over the sill of the window he had left open. Clutching the edge of the purch roof, he swung himself into space and dropped to the ground. Bent almost double, looking more like a giant round ball than a man run- ning, he disappeared behind the stable in the rear of the bank. Two ranchers came pounding out of the street toward the rear of the bank, shouting as they saw the open window. Hastily vaulting into the saddle, Valdez turned the roan quietly, watdiing the two ranchers. (iuns in hand, they stood watching Bartle's open window, wailing for the intruder to emerge from it to the porcli roof where they could leed him lead. Swiftly Valdez was picturing the four ways out of Gold Creek for a man who must ride hard. Death lurked in all o' them. North would be the shortest way to safety. If lie could escape the bullets of this pair now within a stone's throw of him, he had an even chance to get out of town alive. \ rancher behind the bank whirl- ed about to face the stalls in the barn. To the other he whispered: "Hear somebody back tlurt?' "Thouglit I heardâ€"" .â- \ gun flew up. It cracked. Once â€"twiceâ€" again. The oilier rancher blazed four shots at a streaking rider who looked fantastically like something sailing wild in a gale. Only four flashing legs proclaimed it at least part horse, and the whole wraithlike object, dimly aglitter, disappeared behind another building as suddenly as it hat' come from be- hind the bank stable. A cry went up in the street. From the north two ranchers rode swiftly, guns ready, headed for the bank. In an alley three buildings away from Bartle's bank, Michael \aldez touched bis blue roan gently with bis heels. "North, pronto" he inultered. Gold Creek hummed behind him. Over his shoulder he saw riders irinirig the eddy at the bank door. Their angered yells still echoed in his ears when the lights that were still aglow in the town were blotted out by distance. And no threaten iiig thud of hoofs sounded behind him. Back in the cowtown Luke Wal- lace, who by virtue of having taken abrupt command had superseded I'ete Haskell as the guiding hand of the ranchers, had heard the guns bark behind the bank.

She has got herself engaged to a young man who is 2S. Her mother, she tells me, feels he is too old for her, and hopes .she will rccon- .sider h e r pro- nii>e. .\ mother knows her (laughler better than anyone else can. Perhaps this niotlur realizes thai her girl's settled in his ways to be compatible with any- one so young. She knows that for the past 10 years or so, he has been having fun v.itli various girls he knew; now, nearly 110, he is ready to settle down to tlie serious business of marriage. He wants his own home, his children, a wife who is understaiuliiig. This girl's mother probably feels lliat her daughter is not .sufiiciently mature to match him, mentally and temp- eramentally. I hope the girl will heed her. Years And Temperaments * Ordinarily, it is well thrit a * man be old.T than the girl he * marries. Most girls develop * earlier than young men do, and a * difference of five or even 10 years * between tluin it not, in my opin- * ion, too great. .V man Hearing 30 * should know what he wants. If * this man wants this girl, he should * be willing to wait until she is old * etiough to know what she's doing. * For most girls of 17 think * through their eiiiolions. They * fall in love, and so eager are they â- â€¢ for marriage tliat they cannot * weigh such mundane angles as * temperamental differences. They * know they enjoy being with a * certain boy or man, and they only * think how wonderful it would be * to be with him all the time. Stay With Crowd * It is almost impossible for girls * of this age to know their own * minds. Far wiser it is not to * enter into any engagement at all, * to date others too, stay with the * crowd, and know the experiences * which the next few years will * bring. They will develop, in per- * sonality and character, rapidly * during those years; at the end of * of them, they will have a bett r * chance of knowing what they * seek in marriage â€" besides just * being together. * So many girls who marry at * 16 or 17 regret it in a few years. * Housework is never done, babies * keep them tied down, they can't * keep up with the husbands they * adored such a little time ago. * They miss the good times they * used to have, and wish with all * their hearts they could have them * again. They mourn their lost * freedom. So they write me they * want a divorce I * I do not claim that no girl of * IT should marry. Occasionally * some of them are mature beyond * tkair years.

On Neheniiah's second return to Jerusalem Old Testanunt history closed. The thread is taken up again by Gospel writers more tlijui -400 vears later. ' * * * The history of the Jews during tliisc 400 years of silence is gleaned from other sources. For a century they continued under mild Persian rule. Then came the era of .Alex- ander the Crcat, to whom Jerusalem nil ckly surrendered. On his death the domain was divided. At first ludea was under the domination of the F.gyptian rulers and then later of the Syrian kings. One of these latter, Antiochus Epihanes, a proto- type of Hitler, massacred 40,000 Jews and deliled the temple. Revolt followed and the Jews gained their independence. Then the Roman Em- pire arose and they were again sub- jugated. This was the situation when Jesus vvas born. Malachi's Is the last voice of the Old Testament.

To "Becky": Don't be engaged yet. Take at least two more years to grow up. Then you won't be so apt to regret it.

I don't believe you do now. * * * Girls of 17 should be having fun â€"not tie themselves down with even a promise to marry any one young man. If you are impatient to be engaged, tell Anne Hirst why.

But Malachi was more impressed with the ministry of Messiah Hjhiself. He would purify the priests. He would be a witness against sorcerers, adulterers, false swearers and those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless. He would lift up the standard of righteous living. Malachi's anticipations were glori- ously fulfilled four centuries later. Jesus Christ was all that Malachi had said, â€" and more. And, best of all, He lives today and wills to live within our hearts.
