her out of the boat at a deserted old

then. 1 -le tea, young ami tall,
slightly ,too -,.ed of shredder, and
veru sun -tainted.
'I will tai.e y -:nu to my iu,u,e,' he
told her and there was a softness to
his voice that betrayed culture. "I
know you're cold with those wet
clothes on. Mall lean you some of
hers. She i, u„ more than a mite
herself -just abottt like you." He
smiled don n et her and Honey
liked his fare i1:.'antly, so open and
'.,onest.
'1 really 9111 sneezing," she said
slnlply x11,1 ;t:,r^ed to fol1: e him
and discovered that her equillfbtium

end .of the tye, r,vel9u,,kiug the

Honey mareeled at the brightly
sobered fln•,cl':- ,urrouuding the
house, the r .cul attuo>phere every-
where that si.elled peace.
"\fa!" the yotntie ratan called and
there was a caress even when be
lifted. his voice to shout.
A little white-haired woman .ante

"Sakes, art!- ;tic cri.d and cattle
forward to meet tltent. "Who is
that with you: Why, she i• set as
a drowned kitten."
"1 certainly ant," smiled Honey
convincingly. ''1 have been in the
ocean and he fished me out." She
found that lightness came back to
her voice without much effort, "You
were fishing. weren't you;"
"Honest, 1 was Belling. 1 have
never caught ntte 4o big before, nor
half as pretty."
"Cottle in, young lade. Don't pay
any attention to that s011 of 1111115.
He likes to chatter." It was easy to
see that she adored him. "I'll give
you sonte dry things to put on be-
fore you catch pneumonia."
Inside the ltoue, Art reached to
take her coat off, but just then
Honey remembered the stone fast-
ened In her pocket, and she huddled
deeper into the wrap. After all the
dangers she had been through for
the diamond she was not going to
take a chance of losing it now.
"Not yet," she told hint with a
smile. and followed the woman into
the small bedroom.
"Art probably didn't think to in•
troduce himself," said her hostess.
"I am his mother, Mrs. Carey. He
is a nice boy but he forgets his
manners now and then." Mrs. Carey
looked at Honey inquiringly.
"I am so glad to know you. My
Mahle .is Honey -ah -Honey Roe."
She smiled with relief when she
saw that the woman did not notice
the hesitation over her name. She
hated to lie about anything, but
on the moment it seemed the wis-
est course to take. She was not
ready to advertise her true identity.
"That is a right pretty name."
Mr-. Carey pulled things from the
dresser drawers and put them on
the bed. "Kind of romantic,. too.
Well. dere is everything now. You
flurry- arid change,' and site left the
roost.
Honey slipped quickly out of her
wet things. And as she dressed, she
asked herself: "I wonder how far
we are from San Francisco? i must -
get there as soon as I ean."
The light woolen dress fitted per-
fectly. She took the diamond from
the fur coat and dropped it into
the pocket of the borrowed dress
whose skirt was rather full and
hid the sag to some extent where
the box weighted it down. When
she came out of the room, there
was a nice hot cup of coffee, toast
and preserves waiting for her. Art
was smoking his pipe and looking
out of the window. He turned as
she came in.
"I guess we should ride into
town and notify the authorities of
your safety," he suggested.
Honey shook her head quickly.
That was the one thing she did not
want.
"Please don't. 1 have no relatives
to inform and I hate to be bothered
by reporters. I would rather forget
the crash for a' while -if I can,
she added wistfully. "There is no
one to worry about whether I was
saved or not." Her heart cried;
"Except Dian, and he may hate you
by now for what he thinks you
are. A thief." A shudder passed
quickly over her
"You poor lamb," consoled Mrs.
Carey sympathetically, "We won't
mention it again. And if .any one
sees you here . . Well, I can al-
ways invent a daughter or an old
school chum.
"Or." drawled Art and his eyes
twinkled with fun, "I did know
some girls in school, uta. I could
have a visitor."
Right after lunch, which seemed
the best meal she had ever eaten,
the fog lifted and Honey went for a
walk along the rugged shore with
Art. The breakers pounding. hard
against the rocks, was calming to
Honey's over -wrought nerves and
she breathed deeply , of the salty
air. Aso they walked, she learned
that Art was a lawyer of profes-
sion but that he and his mother
were in California for his health.
And now that he was well again,
they would be going back to the
Middle Western town to take up
life where they left off.

LESSON
By Rev. R Barclay Warren
Letters In The Bible
Philippians 1:1-11; 4:8-9.
Golden Text: -These things have 1
written unto you that believe on the
name of the Son of God; that ye
tnay know that y. Have eternal life.
-1 John 5:13,
Twenty-one of the twenty-seven
book; of the New Testament aro
epistles or letters, most of then
written by Paul. Sometimes be-
cause: a person was about to matte
a journey to some church or
churches, or to 001115 place where a
friend was, Paul would send a letter
along, as he did to Titus in Crete.
Because the church at Philippi had
sent a present to Paul in Rotne,
Paul sent back a "thank -you" letter
by this sante messenger when he
returned -the lettrr to the Philip-
pians.
Paul's affection fur the churches
i especially evident in this lesson.
He was writing from a Roman
prison, and doubtless recalled his
prison experience when he first
visited. Philippi. Though he and
Silas had been beaten and their
feet fastened in the 'stocks, at mid-
night they prayed and sang praises
unto God. This sante dauntless
spirit possessed lhiu. now. He was
no whiner. He was praying with
joy, confident "that He which hath
begun a good work in you will
perfect it until the day of Jesus
Christ."
While one faces the fact of phya-
. lest illness it is indisputable that a
considerable proportion of ailments
arise from unhealthful thinking.
Worry is the greatest disease. Paul
gives us good advice, "Whatsoever
things are true, -honest, just, -
pure, -lovely, -of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think of these things."
