burne's coupe parked in front of the
house of a neighbor, Mrs. Rita.
CHAPTER IX
(Continued from last week,
She nodded and turned back to
her fishing. Maybe fate had led her
to this place, she mused, to find Art.
Perhaps he was the help she needed.
If she were arrested, a good law-
yer would be a necessity.
"Do we have to go over for din-
ner at Mrs. Riba's?" she finally
asked, hoping that he wou'd answer
in the negative.
"I am afraid so. Especially, since
it is for you. Don't you want to
go, Honey? She is a swell cook."
"So soon?" He removed his pipe
and knocked out the dead ashes.
Then he refilled it. "Yon know,
Honey, you are not the type of per-
son to run from trouble. And what-
ever is on your mind is sure get-
ting the best of you."
"How do you know so much?"
she demanded rather shortly, irri-
tated that he could read her so
well. "You haven't known me very
long." There was a tinge of anger
to her words.
He kept on. ignoring her sharp

thrust that h should be meddling
in her affairs. "When you forget
the boogie -bear nob• and then, your
eyes dance with life and you smile
and your hand is steady," he ex-
plained effortlessly. "Then it creeps
upon you, and fear lurks in your
eyes and you are jumpy, as if you
were dreadfully afraid of something
—like a man who iia, been threat-
ened with death and expects to be
knifed in the back at any moment."
She shuddered at how well he
analyzed her case.
"You sound like a doctor," she
told him, anger leaving her. Then
quite .deliberately. she lifted her
head and looked • straight into his
eyes. "I am afraid, Art, Afraid 1
shall be killed by a man."
"Killed?" The look he gave her
at first was one of disbelief. Slowly,
it gave way to a deeper feeling of
horror as he realized that she spoke
time truth. He was stirred as she
thought he could not be. He opened
his mouth to speak, but before he
could say anything, site implored;
"Please don't say anything now,
Art. Don't ask Inc questions. I.
can't talk, yet—and I don't want to
lie to you."
"But, Honey, if you are hi great
danger—"
"Please, Art, let's not talk of it.

guessed so closely to the truth. f.11t
it is my battle for a little while
longer. I don't want to bring grief
to another."
The joy of fi_'"inyr wed gone. Sir
they lingered at it until late. \\T len
they returned to the house, Mrs.
Carey told them that Mrs. Riba had
been over to say that her brother
was not feeling well and the dinner
was off. Honey smiled with instant
relief and sat down in the nearest
chair. •
"She asked me again," remarked
Mrs. Carey and she seemed a bit
put out "if your first name was
Honey and where you were from.
I made up a town, my dear. She
was very curious about getting your
exact description."
Honey dropped her lashes over
her eyes to hide what might be
there and got up and walked to the
window. Joe must suspect from
what little his sister had revealed
to him, she thought quickly, other-
wise, Mrs. Riba would not have
been so precise with details.
Art was saying, to his mother:
"Don't tell er anything. She is too
snoopy to suit me."
"I don't intend to," replied his
mother and threw up her head.
"She acted like she didn't believe
me when I said I had known you
a long time."
Honey turned and smiled at her
hostess and there was a wistfulness
about her pretty mouth.
"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Carey.
I'm sorry to have bothered you. I
am Leaving tomorrow."
"Oh, but my dear—" said Mrs.
Carey hastily. "You shouldn't. You
must rest a bit more."
"Never mind, Ma," interrupted
Art. "I'm driving her to Los An-
geles, myself. She has business
...there. Besides, I can see the city:
before I go back home."
Honey's .eyes thanked hint si-
lently.
Mrs. Carey turned smilingly to-
ward her kitchen.
"Well, one person hasn't a chance
in an argument against two."
"Especially when one is a law-
yer," Art added, grinning, and fol-
lowed her out of the room.
Left alone for a few minutes,
Honey was inclined to try to form-
ulate some definite plans in her
miud.for her future course. But her
thoughts kept reverting back to Joe,
wondering if he would make any
moves to find out about the guest
in the Carey household.
"I trust leave very early in the
morning," she decided. "Get away
from here before he is up. I'll take
my chances and try to see Dan as
soon as I get there."
With dinner over, Honey found
herself sitting in the living room,
listening to a funny experience that
Mrs. Carey was telling, about -the
time she went to Europe, and she
was laughing harder than Art, for
her hostess was a good storyteller.
• Suddenly her laugh broke off in
mid-air and she turned deathly pale.
But she . recovered herself so
quickly that the spell was over be-
fore either of her new friends de-
tected it. She continued to smile,
but her eyes watched time front win-
dow from under lowered lashes and
her hands were like chunks of ice
in her lap.

UNDAY SCII00L
LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
Jesus and the Preparatory
Ministry of John
Matthew 3:4-17,
Golden Text:— Repent ye: for
tate kingdom of heaven is at hand.
—Matt. 3:2,
Before Jesus entered upon his
ministry a great and picturesque
titian prepared his way. John, whose
mother was a cousin of Mary, was
a few months older than Jesus. He
came into the region of the Jordon
preaching and i\yptizing. He was
unique. Clothed in camel's hair,
supported by a leather girdle, his
food was wild honey and a species
of insects similar to grasshoppers.
He came in the spirit and power of
Elijah.
Great throngs went out from Jer-
usalem and the surrounding areas
to hear him, His preaching was as
rugged as his appearance. "Repent
ye, for the kingdom of heaven is .
at hand," be cried. Nor was he
content with a form of repentance.
"Bring forth therefore fruits meet
for repentance," he demanded of the
leading religionists of his day, warn-
ing that the axe was standing by
tate tree in readiness to hew down
that one that bore no fruit. Neither
dare they take refugee in the fact
that they were Abraham's descen-
dants for, said ile, "God is able of
these stones to raise up children
unto Abraham."
John wasa fearless preacher and
he had results. Perhaps we of this
day are too delicate, too careful not
to offend. Imagine us saying "0
generation of snakes."
The highlight of John's preach-
ing was the announcement that a
°greater person was coning; so
great that John was not worthy to
carry his shoes. He would baptize
with the Holy Spirit. It was a
memorable day when this great
One, Jesus Christ, appeared where
John was preaching. John at first
declined to baptize Jesus for He
had no sins to confess. However,
Jesus desired it. The opened
heavens and the descending Spirit
confirmed to John that this want
Indeed, . God's Son.
A great tribute to the effective-
ness of Jolul's ministry was the fact
that his own disciples on seeing
Jesus followed Him, He had suc-
cessfully pointed out the Lamb of
God. So should we be all our lives;
not exalting self but lifting up
Christ our Savior.
