Sylvester's dia- mond has Leen stolen." Honey's in- terest tnlgiht have been that of any ordinary citizen discussing the lat- est atest event of the day, for the news had come over the radio broadcast at 6:00. "Have you auy clues yet?" ".Must we talk of business so ear- ly in the evening?" he inquired with a grin that told her there were other things more exciting to talk of. "I thought of a drive along the oceatt and then a bite to eat later." "That sounds very nice," she told him happily. "I hate also been thinking how nice it o unit] be if you would let me call you Honey." \Vhen he spoke h r name this time it had all the earmar:.s of an endearing term. "I still agree with you, Dan." She let her ,nen 10400 fondle his name just a tin} bit and he did not miss the inflection. • He said quickly, all seriousness: "Olt. Honey:" Just motoring slowly down the Pacific C.+a t, even though it was foggy and there was no moon, cast an air 01 romance for Honey. It was trey that she had promised to marry Joe, but no one knew just how she felt about him or whether she wou'd carry out her engage- ment "You know,' said Dan suddenly, breaking the sweet silence that had settled over them during the last few- minutes. "You are a mystery, Honey. You don't work -or do you:„ :a * it ;\ •oil laugh rippled deep in her throat. "Don't you call time work?" she lousy. "1 clo." I suppose so -for a woman." But he did not sound convinced. "I know what you mean, Dan. I'll say it for you. How do 1 make a living?" Ile tried to interrupt her but she silenced him with a gesture. "Please. 1 don't mind telling you the secret, A thoughtful grand- mother left me an adequate income. So you �<<e,Im ' independent. I do p what I please, when 1 please and answer to no 0^:." "How well do you know Joe Dan - burnt?" 1•115 tone was guarded care- fully, hut she understood his mean- ing clearly. "I mean what sort of person is he?" "I have known him for about nine months but not very well. You see, she explained honestly and did not mind telling him in the least, "Joe is a hard person to really know. He doesn't talk about himself much. But I'ui working to get better ac- quainted." "Then it is tr te," he said flatly. having a good inquired 1rivo- "You are engaged to him." It was not a question, but a statement a Id his voice rangwith disappointnte It. "Perhaps," 511e answered and 1 er manner was teasing. "I was hopi 1g this date was due to my attractive- ness, Don, but now I know I was wrong." "Honey!" He sounded hurt. He found her hand in the darkness of the car and drew it to his lips. "What other reason would snake me conte around if I did not like you?" Conscious of his shoulder touch- ing hers, she replied: "When we stop for that bite to eat you spoke of 1 -will tell you the real reason." There was laughter in her voice to hide the sentiment she felt in her heart. True to her promise, Honey fin- ished eating and then leaned her arms on the table. "You came to see me tonight, Dan, because you wanted to know something about Joe. I have been seen with him quite a lot lately and I know his reputation is question- able. So, naturally, you would leant to check on him, Right?" Her tone was sincere, but there was a smile on her face to tell that she did not resent his inquiry. "Maybe I hoped to gather some 'information about Danburne," he admitted honestly. "But you're for- getting a lovely, blue-eyed girl, a moonlight night and a man with a sailboat." When they were back in the car, on the way home, Honey asked casually: "Have you any idea who stole the Sylvester diamond, Dan? Any defi- nite clues?" "We know that it was a woman -probably a young woman." Hon- ey's heart jumped into her throat for a second and threatened to choke her with fright. "And we have one clue. Not much, but some- thing to make a start from."

Un- easiness rested heavily on her deli- cate shoulders after that and she was very glad 'when they drove up in front of her apartment hotel, When he insisted on going in with her, she was really scared. But that fear was short-lived. Inside the living room, he gath- ered her instantly into his arms, surprising her with the movement. "Honey -" and his voice was deep with passionate feeling. "I had to hold youin my arms. Feel the touch of your lips against mine." Then he kissed her, gently and lingeringly. Honey, f love you. I've loved you since that first night 1 took you sailing. I have fought it all these many weeks that I haven't seen you. Stayed away on purpose. But it is no use. I still love you." "I'm glad, Dan," she whispered and lifted her fate to be kissed again. "You see, I love you, too." There was another long and silent moment while he held her close in his arms. Wher he lifted his face from hers this time, he asked tensely: "And you will stop seeing Dan - burner' She smiled just the faintest bit and stepped away from him. "In just a little while, Dan. I will have to break the news to him a bit slowly." "But soon?" Dan insisted as he was about to go. Soon," she repeated and felt a little shaky at the future prospect. But she did not know at the moment that her promise to Dan would be fulfilled so quickly. (To be Continued) YOI TING u S. 0. Ariwtt• Certain questions are repeatedly asked by my correspondents and, in the interest of other readers, alt' swers to several that are frequent- ly receival are given hers. Q ues tion: What is the meaning of small writing? Answer: It means that the writer is capable of long periods of concentration, the smaller the writing, the greater the concentra- tion. Question: Why are my down - strokes of "y" and "g" straight, without loops? Answer: Why they are formed this way the analyst does not know, What . he does know, however, is that these signs reveal determination, the degree be- ing shown by the length and thick- ness of the strokes. The longer and thicker, the greater the deter- mination. Question: I never make a Com- plete word without breaks between the letters. What does this indic- ate in my character? Answer: The breaks between the body of words shows apprecia- tion of music. The writer may not • play an instrument but will have a fondness for music. Question: Is it possible to de- tect whether the writer is elate or female from the script? Answer: No. The analyst can- not definitely state whether he is analysing a man's or a woman's handwriting. This is due to the fact that writing is the act of plac- ing ideas on paper and, since men and women can think alike, it is difficult to tell the one handwriting from the other. 4906 SIZES 11-I?

Barclay Waren Prophecy In The Bible Amos 5:21-24; 7:10-15; Micah 4:I-4 Golden Text:- Ile hath shelved thee, O elan, what is good; and what cloth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy Goa - • 6 :8. Prophecy t. one of the strongest evidences that the Bible is inspir- ed. It has three functions: 1. To inform us of a future event that people should know about before it takes place. 2. To identify an event which has been forecast by prophecies. 3. To inform more gen- erally that God knows in advance what he intends to do. These con- siderations will save us from over- working the Scripture in an effort to secure a one hundred per cent understanding of its meaning. No prophecy. is -so completely understood as when it is being ful- filled or after its fulfillment. Ring Herod asked where Christ should be born and was answered by the scribes in the words of the prophet Micah, "And thou Bethlehem-". He sent the wise men to Bethlehem, Now we marvel at the prophecy of Micah given seven centuries before tie birth of jest's in Bethlehem. The prophets, were also teachers of righteousness' and were frequent- ly unpopular. Antos brought a message disparaging the religious feasts and offerings of the people. He was advised to leave the king's court at Bethel because he said the king would be slain and the peopte carried away captive. But Amos finished his prophesy. He fore- told the returnfrom captivity. How we long for the fulfillment of hlicab's words, "He shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shalt beat their swords into plough- shares, and their spears into prun- ing hooks: nation shall not lift up, sword against nation, neither shall they learnt war any more."
