Dan was lying there, his head wrapped in yards of bt,ndage. and his eyes were closed, He was very pale. "Dan," she breathed close to his car. His eyes came open instantly. "Honey!" he cried and reached a hand to touch the face so close to his. "Honey, darling!" The glad- ness in his voice warmed her heart as she kissed hint. The nurse spun around. "How did you get in?" she demanded sharply, threateningly. "Never mind," put in Dan. "Please leave us." The nurse looked uncer- tain. "Go on," he ordered firmly. "Get out," She went then. "Why did you come back, Honey? Why didn't you make good your escape?" His eyes caressed her while his voice scolded. "I was not running from you, Dan," she said slowly, and lifted his hand to her lips, "It was Joe. I was running from -him. But he is dead now." "Yes. In an auto accident. He tried to kill me before he died." She touched t h a bandage on her shoulder. Dan closed his eyes for a moment as if to shut out the thought. Honey took a deep breath, "Dan, look at me. Lct me tell you before they come and take me away," He turned bis eyes up to her and new hope was in their depths. "The woman who had the dia- mond was not the real Mrs. Syl- vester.", she stated with emphasis, sure of her ground. "The real \Irs. Aleximum wardrobe fur minimum sewing!

She put fingertips over his lips so he would not interrupt her again as she hurried on with her explana- tion. � . "'The ..yhescers lived in Europe. After Mr, Sylvester's death his wife moved to a mountain village, She was an invalid and soon became bedridden:. The nurse took up the position as widow and passed Mrs. Sylvester off as an aunt." Her voice was soft and vibrant with feeling as, she went on with her story, her hand gripping his firmly for strength. The pain in her shoulder did not stop, and neither of them saw the small circle of red that came through the bandage and kept getting larger. "Harry Sylvester was the black sheep of his family and when he left home as a young man, he took his mother's diamond, the most pre- cious thing she possessed. It broke her heart to lose it. So before Harry's wife died, she managed to get a letter posted to his mother, telling of the nurse's activities which she was unable to prevent. But his mother died before she could do anything to recover it. The .nurse did not know there were any living relatives and presumed iter schemes were safe." "And you, Honey?' He could not keep back the important question any longer, -Harry had a sister who died and left a child. I ant that child -Honey Sylvester Monroe. I promised grandmother just before she died that I would get the diamond back. But she did not want to go to court about it and let the world know that her son was a thief," Her voice was getting weaker but neither noticed and she went on, struggling against the pain in her shoulder, "When I stet Joe Danburne, I knew he was a jewel thief and it was through him I learned of the where- abouts of the stone. He was plan- ning to steal it. "That is the reason I was seen so much with him. I had to get the diamond." .A tear splashed against his hand as she added: "Grandmother has her diamond now, and nothing else matters if you forgive me. If I still have your Jove. Dan." "Honey!" Never had she heard her name spoken in such a loving voice, and her heart leaped with supreme happiness, 'Then he saw her shoulder and the blood soaked bandage. "Honey!" he cried in alarm and reached out quickly to pull her into his arms. The door opened in that instant to admit nurses and a doctor with Art at their heels. Honey had fainted, her bright head against Dan, his arms around her. The doctor picked tip the limp figure, but ire saw the question in Dati s eyes and was compelled to answer. "Not too serious, 1 Under- stand," he said kindly. "just weak- ness from los. of blood." "How sour will-" Dan began but tate doctor interrupted. "Sihe'll he line in a week,' he said.
