Writs. •
CHAPTER III,
Long after he had gone, Honey
sat .in deep meditation, and all the
thoughts that passed through her
mind were not happy ones. They
concerned the diamond, Joe and
Dan Brewster and were rather
jumbled. They did not mix well
together -s. stolen jewel, a thief,
and the district attorney.
Honey didn't know that Daniel
Brewster asked Sonny the same
question Joe did about the time she
came home; nor did she know of
the look of relief that crossed his
tense face. When he rang the door-
bell she was• waiting, heart beating
just a bit faster and eyes parkling
like twin jewels, expectantly.
"You are lovely, Honey Monroe,"
he declared warmly and his eyes
echoed his words "The most beau-
tiful creature in the world! Or have
I told you that before?"
* * *
"It must have been some other
girl," laughed Honey, color stealing
into her cheeks. "The eminent Mr.
Brewster has never paid compli-
ments to me before. At least, 1
don't recall any at the moment,"
she added, wrinkling her nose at
him.
"Then I've certainly been neglect•
ing my sworn duty."
"I suppose you'll be busier than
ever now since Mrs. Sylvester's dia-
mond has been stolen." Honey's in-
terest might have been that of any
ordinary citizen discussing the lat-
est event of the day, for the news
had come over the radio broadcast
at 6:30. "Have you any 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 ocean
and then a bite to eat later."
"That sounds very nice," she told
him happily.
"1 have also been thinking how
nice it would be if you would let
me call you Honey." When he
spoke her name this time it had all
the earmarks of an endearing term.
"I still agree with you, Dan." She
let her own voice fondle his name
just a tiny bit and he did not miss
the inflection.
He said quickly, all seriousness:
"Oh, Honey!"
Just motoring slowly down the
Pacific Coast, even though it was
foggy and there was no moon, cast
an air of romance for Honey. Et
was true that she had promised to
marry Joe, but no one knew just
how she felt about him or whether
she would 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 soft laugh rippled deep in her
throat.
"Don't you call having a good
time work?" she inquired frivo-
lousy, "I do."
"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 I make
a living?" He tried to interrupt her
but she silenced him with a gesture,
"Please. I don't mind telling you
the secret. A thoughtful grand-
mother left pie an adequate income.
So you see, I'm independent, I do
what I please, when I please and
answer to no 0"'t."
"How well do you know Joe Dan-
burne?" His tone was guarded care-
fully, hilt she understood his mean-
ing clearly. "I mean what sort of
person is he?"
"I have known hint for about nine
ntontlls 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'm working to get better ac-
quainted."
"Then it is true," he said flatly.
Answer to Last Week's Puzzle
"You are engaged to him." It was
not a question, but a statement and
his voice rang with disappointment.
"Perhaps," she answered and her
manner was teasing. "I was hoping
this date was due to my attractive
ness, Dan, but now 1 know I was
wrong."
' "Haney!" He sounded hurt. He
found her hand in the darkness of
the car and drew it to his lips.
"What other reason would make me
come around if 1 did not like you?"
Conscious of his shoulder touch-
ing hers, she replied:
"When we stop for that bite to
eat you spoke of I 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 inc 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 want
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 roan 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."
*
* *
What that clue was he did not
'offer to say and Honey hesitated
to ask for fear she might show too
much concern in the platter and
lay herself open for suspicion. 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 roomy he gath-
ered her instantly into his arms,
surprising her with the movement.
"Honey -" and his voice was
deep with passionate feeling. "1
had to hold you in my arms. Feel
the touch of your lips against
mine."
Then he kissed her, gently and
lingeringly.
'Honey, 1 love you. I've loved
you since that first night 1 took
you sailing. 1 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 face 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 -
burnt?"
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.

Prophecy In The Bible
Amos 5:21-24; 7:10-15; Micah 4:1-4
Golden Text:- He hath shewed thee,
O man, what is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee, but
to do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God? -
Micah 6:8.
Prophecy 1- 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
prc.phecies. 3. To inform more gen-
erally that God knows in advance
what he intends to do. These con-
siderations will saveusfrom 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 whin it is being ful-
filled or after its fulfillment, -.King
Herod asked where Cl.rist 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
tit birth of Jesus in Bethlehem!.
The prophets, were also teachers
of righteousness and were frequent-
ly unpopular. Amos 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 people
carried away captive. But Amos
finished his prophesy. He fore-
told
oratold the return from captivity.
How we long for the fulfillment
of Micah's words, "He shall judge
among many people, and rebuke
strong nations afar off; and they
shall beat their swords into plough-
shares, and their spears into prun-
ing hooks: nation shall not lift up
sword against nation. neither shall
they learn war any more."
Well?
Mistress: "l'm sorry you want
to leave, Mary. Are you going to
better yourself?"
Maid: "Oh, no, ma'am, I'm going
to be married."

Lowly Rhubarb
Goes High -Hat
Fruit and vegetables arc in con-
flict again. This time the former
is laying definite claim to rhubarb -
a claim' that a court has been, asked,
to sustain, After a long period of
controversy,the tomato, was- snatch-
ed from the vegetable fancily and set
up as a fruit. Then along came
the melon with a "me too" claim
to whatever aristocracy may be at-
tached to the fruit grou,,, and ap-
parently won out sufrreiently to, be
given a fruit rating by Mr. Webster.
Even: the nut has. gained recogni-
tion as a. hard -shelled, fruit, and one.
wonders what other desertions are
facing the vegetable family, , The
poor squash that may lie in friend,
ship. alongside the melon in the
garden apparently is destined to re-
main. a vegetable.

You were proud to show her off.

Well, she's 'ound out,
