She ArriUes at
Her Destination

Some of what she had heard had
been good, but far more of it had been
not so good. But now she knew him
herself, had known him for day and
night She had talked to him, she had
seen his, kindness, his gentleness back
there in her ravaged home. She had
searched his face with clear-seeing eyes
that she believed had looked into his
soul, and she had found it clean of any
evil thing.
Perha after had completed this
strange urney she would know more
Of the strange saga of Ell Cabalero
Rojo. The priests at Corpus Christi
might tell her many things.
But whatever the outcome, whatever
she learned or did not learn, she knew
one thing right now, and from that
nothing on earth could sway her-she
must follow him wherever he went.
whatever he did. That firm thought
was like signpost with just one ar
row, an arrow showing her the only
trail her own life could take.
Juanita rode through Pasano Valley
as swiftly as she could, but once she
had passed it she set steady pace.
Star-eyed daisies and primroses gazed
up at her invitingly in other places,
an. here and there s rode by a jun
gle of j'niper and chaparral that looked
like sea of green, stretching away to
the horizon. But nothing tempted her
to oismount until, each night, she
found = camping spot where she ate a
cold meal and wrapped up in her
blankets to fall asleep under the stars.
On the afternoon of the third day of
her journey Juanita de Cuevas saw
tn, distant outlines of the mission. She
urged Pedro on to swifter pace.
Soft banks of white clouds hung mo-
tionless in the cardinal sky of just be-
fore dusk. In the rays of that setting

Juanita's fathers mount. 1t was a
skinny sofrel, but Valdez believed 1t
had possibilities once it was properly
fed. Juanita had a meal ready for
him, and ii was only shortly after noon
when her horse was ready for her trip
to the mission.
Valdez figured that it would be at
least a three-day ride for the girl. and
made preparation for that. Plenty of
supplies were pac&ed for the journey,
and saddle roll was made up which
contained everything for the girls
comfort during those three days in the
open.
Without comment. then, Ell Cahal-
lero Rojo fastened to e cantle of the
saddle the heavily laden saddlebags
containing the money he had taken
from Raymond Garvin the night before.
Juanita's eyes widened as she heard
the clink of coins.
"But what is this?" she demanded.
Il want you TO give these saddlebags
to Padre Vincente when you meet him.
He'll know what 20 do with them and
what they contain. Tell him he'll hear

Friends Separate
Il Second Time

Cattlemen, prospectors, lawmen, rn
rales, even outlaws - they came in
droves. And meals and bed were free
for the asking at any hour of the day
or night. And it had been from some
of the men who had come through those
hospitable portals that young Michael
Valdez had learned how to snoot, how
to use his rope, the craft of the woods
man, and a thousand different things
that had stood him in good stead when
he had himself become a wanderer.
Men whose guns we're their only shield
against a. troublous world had taught
him uncanny speed with weapons while
he was still in his teens, and though
he had always had natural way with
horses, he had learned how to handle
the most dangerous outlaw from other
men to whom horsehesh was life.
But now that seemed ages ago-in
another life. For on that day when the
young Michael Valdez had opened the
door of his home on his tragedy, he had
on the instant left behind his devil-may-
care life as young raquero and be-
come a mana man who had a rem
devious with destiny.
So deep was Michael Valdez in his
own musings that for moment he had
forgotten Juanita, had forgotten that
he was not alone, as was his custom.
He came to himself with a start when
he heard her insistent voice, as if she
might have asked a question several
times and had no answer.
when have done for you this thing
you wish me to do, senor," she was
saying a little plaintively, "then you
will tell me what more l can do for
you? We will ride together, no?"
Glimpsing her eager face, he hadn't
tn heart to tell her the truth-then.
There will be much riding for both
of us, of course, Juanita," he said gent
ly, AMI then he gave a. start and
jumped to his feet. "Madre de Dios"
he exclaimed. 1.-THE sun is long up, and
l must ride for your horse. l told you
it was important that you start for the
mission today"
Outside the cave he hurriedly sad

ovely young face smiling at him as she
waved her hand.

important But we will rest first"
He gestured Ler to the pine-bougt
cot, picked up a blanket from the
stump, took Ell Cielo's reins in the
other hand and stalked outside the
cave. He heard her call out a re-
monstrance, but paid no attention. He
had too many times slept with his sad
die for a pillow to mind sleeping in the
open.
When she awoke Ell Caballero Rojo
was making a meal over little fire
he had built in the center of the cave.
But he did not look like the Red Cav
alier now. for he had discarded his
gaudy raiment and wore the chdrTo
garb and the black wig in which she
had seen him first
He Strengthened up from the fire and
glanced over toward the pine-bough cot,
and grinned when saw her dark eyes
wide open, looking at him with sur

claimed. 1T is women's work" He found
himself unconsciously wondering what
she would look like in the lovely gar
ments of a girl, garments such as she
was born to wear.
As quickly he showed that thought
from him. What was he thinking of?
Ell Caballero Rojo had no business with |
such thoughts.
Juanita had the breakfast all pre-
pared speedily, and they sat down
cross-legged on the cave floor to eat it. |
While they ate she talked gravely |
about her father and mother and of
the life OF their little rancho.
Valdez did not give her confidence
for confidence by telling her of his own
home and youthful days, but listening
to her brought it all before his minds

'When l look into the mirror 1t

shone so brightly" She had written
in her diary.
A little red book spread apart un-
der Margaret's fingers.

Shanghai Spectators
Reaping Huge Profits
In Trading in Drugs
By Eddie CREIGHTON
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

Assoeioted Press Foreign Correspondent
SHANGHAI, Dec. 19.-The i'll and
dying in Shanghai may have to pay
fantastic prices for drugs which sell
at standard prices In the United
States.
Reasons are the ease of storing
and smuggling drugs, and the avid
legal and illegal trade in them, and
behind all these the governments
import restrictions aimed at con-
serving foreign exchange.
A vial of streptomycin selling for
81 retail in the United States whole
sales here for about 100000 in
Chinese currency Cor about $12 at
the official rate of exchange-still
higher on the black market).
Besides streptomycin, penicillin
and alleged cures and preventives
for impotency are popular items on
the smuggler's list and speculative
market.
Risks Involved.
There are risks. Smugglers have
no protection against conflscation
or loss. Spectators have to operate
carefully lest they upset their own
market by dumping too much scarce
medicine all at once.
The other day I watched a
Chinese operator at work. He had
10000 ampules Of drug that was
a great favorite on the market at
the time. If he had tried to sell it
all at once, he could have forced his
own market down by as much as
80 per cent. Instead, he played it!
cagy, selling 200 ampules at time,
to numerous small buyers-none of
whom knew that as a group they
had bought enough of that parti-
cular drug to stabilize the market
for six months.
Evening star., 1947-12-19

Here are some Of the arguments
he used on his Chinese friends" to
make them lose Is per cent within q
week-when the market realized the
drug no longer was scarce:
"Mr. Chang, a friend OF mine has
just brought in 200 ampules from
Hong Kong. He needs money, SO
he's getting rid of them cheap. Here
is an opportunity for you. :"
Arguments Offered.
"Mr. Shing, some time back a
member of my staff bought 200 am
pules to prevent his savings from
depreciating with the currency. He
wants to buy a motorcycle now and
is selling cheap. This is your
chance. ."
'Mr. Wong, hear your Office paid
you q three-month bonus. I know
you don't want your money to de-
preciate, so this is your chance to
Evening star., 1947-12-19

put 1t into something solid. A Ger
tain doctor needs cash and is selling
200 ampules. - ="
In this way he sold 5000 ampules
in one afternoon, with some buyers
begging him to sell them twice as
many as he offered.
Although his sales eventually
Evening star., 1947-12-19

forced down prices, such drops In
drugs are relatively rare.
AS long as people fall Ill In China,
and as long as the government per-
mits only limited quota of needed
medicines to enter, prices probably
will keep on going up.

quite a to-do about the Cham

the City administration on the
off street parking issue. If
the Blade weren't so darn
gleeful about the Chamber of
Commerce batting the admin
istration around and would
look into the issue itself, may
be it could arrive at couple
of different conclusions.
The story on this issue is as
follows. Many states allow
their cities to provide off
street parking facilities and
charge fees for parking there
to write off the investment
and maintain the facility. Cal
ifornia is a notable example.
The City of San Francisco has
built an underground parking
garage under downtown

facility has caught the atten-
ton of city planners every
where as an example of what
can be done to meet the park
