men thunder by in a muddy shower. A
lump of bitterness was in Valdez
throat as he tenderly laid the meaning
youth down.
II reckon you didn't figure that sofne
things can cost you too much"
The youth squeezed the hand of Ell
Caballero Rojo.
"Ain't costin' me too much. Nothing's
too much-if Teller can lend-hand to
help. My father-my brother
was il. :" He didn't finish.
Michael Valdez stood up and looked
down at the dead young man for long
time.
"Adios," he said in whisper.
He walked into the dawnlight with
slow, heavy steps. Then suddenly he
shook off the WEAKNESS and sadness,
for close and clear came the call of q
mountain lion. He answered speedily.
Juanita's ragged figure burst out of
cump of trees and she rushed to him,
looking at him anxiously. Valdez
braced himself against a rock, almost
slipped, but caught himself. The girl
grasped his arm.
"You are shot" she cried. "Oh you
are not"
tits nothing" Valdez said duly. 81
just"
But despite his efforts, despite all
his will power, he abruptly crumpled
to the ground, weakened by loss of
blood.
When Michael Valdez regained con-
seriousness, he looked about him in be-
wilderment. He was in the cave hide
out he and Juanita had found when
they had first come to the valley, lying
on the pine-bough cot. The sun was
streaming into the cave, and on the
little tree trunk used as a chair and
table was a glass jar filled with fresh
wild flowers. A small fire was burning
in the center of the cave, and the fra
grant aroma of coffee came to him.
His body felt drained of strength,
and then he saw that his wounds were
neatly bandaged, and realized that he
was in little pain now. 1t would not
be long before he would be himself
again.
He heard light step outside the
cave entrance, and a girl entered and
SMILED at him. For a moment he was
puzzled. She was beautiful girl, the
loveliest he had ever seen. She was
wearing a fresh white dress, and her
raven hair was drawn high and held
by tall Spanish comb.
Michael Valdez had never imagined
anyone so lovely. And it was moments
before he could take in the startling
fact that this beautiful girl and his
ragged Mexican peon companion, Juan,
were one and the same.
Then he grinned.
She came over to the cot and laid a
small, cool hand on his forehead.
"At last Ell Caballero Rojo has come
to life" she said, and smiled again
"And haven't you anything to say,
senor?"

"How did get here?" Valdez asked.
81 brought you," the girl said simply.
Then she added, with a touch of deep
grief in her tones, "The boy, senor--he
who played he was Ell Caballero Rojo
| tell sheriff he has been killed, and
where to find him, to be taken care Of"
For moments more Michael Valdez
said nothing, for he was thinking of the
difficulties Juanita must have gone
through to have succeeded in bringing
an unconscious man miles through a
hostile country, where men were riding
to seek his life.
AT last he did speak.
"Juanita," he said, there is just one
more thing l want you to do for me
then YOUR work with me will be fin
ished. | want you to get that money
7 took from Flash Conroy-it's in the
cave here-and take it to the Corpus
Christi Mission. And this time | want
YOU to stay there. Padre Vincente will
take care of you and your future"
Juanita looked down at him for
silent. speeches. minutes.
"And you?" she said finally. Your
work is done also? You, too, will come
to the mission?"
"Maybe." Valdez said, and slowly
shook his head. Maybe later-not now.
Because, Juanita my work is not liz
ished. It's finished here. Peace will
come to Deep Water Valley again, and
nv own private debts have been paid
Rut nv work will never be done so
long as there are people in the whole
wide West who are oppressed. I'm an
outlaw-I can't ever change that-but
7 can make up for many things by
helping others who need help. Ill be
all right again pronto. and then I'm
riding-to wherever folks need help.
Juanita's hand reached down to clasp
his tightly.
1--WE ride" she whispered firmly
And looking into her black eyes, see
inc there the determination and sacrl-
fetal purpose, Michael Valdez knew
that nothing he could ever say would
change Juanita de Cuevas' decision to
ride the danger trails at his side to
share his lot, whatever that might BE-
After long time he said softly;
1--WE ride first to the mission Juan
ita." He laughed happily. Padre VIM
cente will be surprised when he is
asked to perform marriage ceremony
for a man who said he never would
marry And there is a blind man down
there I believe will be mighty happy
for his son." -,
81 know" said Juanita softly. u
know blind MAJ will be much happy
7 have talk to him."
"You have" Valdez was vastly sur
prised. "Why, you never told me. You
talked to him-what did he say?
"He say to me, Follow your heart
little senorita.' Me, have follow you
Ell Caballero Rojo."

Milk customers don't pay off on
the quality Of milk as it is pro-
duced on the farm. It's quality at
the point Of sale that puts money
in the bank.
The dairy farmer, therefore, faces
a double task-to produce good milk

growth and eliminate souring and
off-favors.
Water alone is not a satisfactory
cooling agent, because only in rare
instances is its temperature lower
than 60 degrees. The addition Of
ice to water will help, but storage
difficulties and the work involved in
keeping the tank adequately sup
piled present certain obstacles to
its use. In addition, its cost, if pur-
chased, often is so high as to offset
the price received for satisfactorily
cooled milk.
Because Of this situation many
electric milk coolers (either Of the
tank or aeroator type) are being in
stalled on electrified farms. Such
coolers, according to the Pennsyl-
vania State college school Of agri-
culture, meet the farmers require
ments for they are designed to cool
fresh milk quickly, uniformly and
economically.
On the basis OF tests conducted
recently on 101 electrified New York
state farms, the cost of cooling milk
electrically averages from IL to 1875
cents per hundred pounds. The pow
er rate in the test area was cents
per kiloWatt hour of power, which
is about " cent lower than the ma
tional farm electricity rate.

Scoring; Cadets Are Hurt
By Loss Of Russell
By George Huber

George Washington University's
basketball team racked up win No
5 last night, sinking Virginia Mill
tary Institute by 59-40 score before
1900 at the Armory. The game was
even more one-sided than the Colo
malls 19-point margin indicates.
They had 81 edge in scoring most
of the way, with the Keydets pull
ing closer toward the end and slicing
10 points of their deficit in the final
three minutes against G. W.'s third
string players.
G. WIS big three, Captain Bill
Cantwell. Johnny Moffatt and May
nard (Sleepy) Haithcock, led the
way as usual last night. Cantwell
was the all-around boy, and the IL
points he contributed to G. W.'s
scoring total were only one less than
the 13 tossed in by Moffatt, the
games individual high man. Hath
cock contributed a steady brand
of floor work and nine points.
In becoming G.. WIS second South
ern Conference victim this season,
v. M. I. simply was outclassed. The
Keydets particularly had trouble
with tight Colonial defenses in the
first half and we're forced to shoot
at long range or not at all They
couldn't cope with the Colonials'
speed and teamwork, although G.. w.
lost some of its flnesse late in the
game.
Haithcock started the game with
a one-hander, and for a while G. w.
could do no wrong. v. M. I. was
limited to one field goal by Bill Rus
sell in the first 10 minutes, while
the Colonials ran up a 1876 margin
The pace qickened toward halftime,
with blond and terrific Moffatt toss
ing in three goals and Dave Shapiro
getting a pair to contribute to
G. WIS 36-l6 intermission lead.
1t was pretty much the same dur
ing the first 10 minutes of the final
half. Cantwell did most of his scor-
ing during that stretch with three
baskets, and Moffat came along with
another pair to increase G.. WIS
margin to 51-22 with 10 minutes re-
naming. After that Coach OTIS
Zahn of 6. w. substituted freely
and the various Colonial outfits on
the floor lacked some of the polish
of earlier combinations.
The visitors gradually cut down
G.. WIS edge, Bob Bell and John
Hodnett accounting for most of their
points. Hurting v. M. I. in the late
going was the absence of Russell,
who had four personals before the
half and who did not return to the
game.
