Dan calls opportunely that eve- ning and he frankly advises Money not to associate with Danburne any more. and Honey agrees. Before they part the, confesss their love for each other. CHAPTER V When Dan Brewster had gone, Honey made sure that every win- dow and door of the apartment was closed and locked and the shades drawn tightly, Then, to make doubly sure she was alone, she looked under the bed and in all the closets. Sat- isfied at last that no one was lurk- ing in the rooms, to spy on her, she turned back the mattress on her bed quickly and found her suede bag just where she had put it earlier in the evening. She picked it up care- fully and turned it over, examining it thoroughly from the outside. But only for a moment did she contem- plate it thus; the inside was more alluring. Soon her eager fingers clutched the velvet box in a firm grap and she hugged it to her heart for just a second. - Installed comfortably in the mid- dle of the bed, she opened the case and stared at the jewel with fas- cinated eyes. "It's mine! Really mine!" she breathed, exquisite delight ie. her low voice. "Oh, you're beautful. No wonder Joe is burned up over your disappearance." The phone rang sharply and she jttnt ped. s She hid the box beneath her pil- low as the buzzer kept up an insist- ent ringing; the purse she threw in a far corner of the closet. Then she hurried to the telephone, won- dering who could be calling at that time of the night, "Hello!" she called, forcing sleepy tones into her wide-awake voice. "\fisc Monroe speaking," "Honey!" It was Joe and his voice rang sharp and startling. "I want to come up -now: I have to see , you." "You can't," she cried, alarmed by a sixth sense. "It's nearly 2 in the morning. You must be out of your mind, Joe, to think of such a thing. Whatever it is, it can wait until morning. There are such things as conventions, you know." "I'nt corning up, anyway." The tone he used trade her blood run slow. He sounded cold, ruthless and determined. "You can't," she insisted franti- eally. But he had already clicked the receiver in her ear. She moved in a frenzied haste. There was no time to dress, or to do much thinking, She threw a fur coat over her pajamas and grabbed up the velvet box and her purse. The back door led into the hall and that avenue of flight was out, Only the fire escape remained, sinister, scary thing that it was. As she was climbing out the kitchen window, the doorbell rang and kept ringing. "He'll kill me," she kept repeat- ing over and over, beside herself With terror. On the sidewalk, she glanced quickly around, but saw no one. $he darted around the corner and hailed a passing taxi, "I want a telephone book, please," She told the driver as he pulled away from the curb. He reached insidea compartment for what she wanted. Scanning down the B's, she finally carne to Daniel Brewster's name and op• posits it the address, This she• gave to the driver and sat huddled back in the corner of the dark cab until the car pulled up and stopped be- fore the white stucco apartment house. On entering she spotted the call- ing cards above the bells. She found the one she was looking for, on the second floor. She pushed the ring- er, hard and long; then, ehe ran up the carpeted stairs and paused ,at the top step to see which door was Sning to open to her summons. he heard footsteps in the apart- ment to her left and was' before the door, ready to dart in when Dan pulled it back. "Honey! What is it? Why are you here at this time of the nigh r- 71 am afraid," she told him and shivered visibly. "Why are you afraid, Honey? What has happened since I left you? It hasn't been very long." "I'm afraid Joe Manhunt* will kill me." "Kill you?" repeated Dan and she saw his eyes harden to flaming steel points. "Why?" He shot the ques- tion at her. but shedid not flinch. "Have you seen him? Told him about us already?" She shook her head quickly. "This is why.", She opened her bag and drew out the velvet box. She sprung the catch and the light fell on the diamond in all its beauty. a "The Sylvester diamond," she ex. plained simply. "The Syl.-" He caught his breath without finishing the word. He started to lift a hand,then let it fall back heavily at his side as though a weight pulled it down. The blood slowly drained from hie face. He stared at Honey and his eyes were sick. She held the box out to him and when he made no move to take it, she fell back in the chair and drop- ped it in her lap. She said slowly: "I know what you are thinking. That I am a thief." There was deep hurt in her voice, tears in her beautiful eyes. "I am not, Dan. I am not a thief." Still he said nothing as he stood there. He took a hard breath as though it were difficult for him to breathe under the circumstances. "Please believe me," she begged fervently. "I am not what you are thinking." "Why did you come here, Hon- ey?" he demanded savagelyat last. "Why did you bring me the stolen diamond? You know I'm the dis- tract attorney." "That's why I came to you, Dan. I intended to let you know about it. Only I wasn't quite ready. You won't understand that, of course," she said wistfully and lifted her eyes to him again and they were glazed with salty tears. "Joe will kill me for this." "Stop saying that!" he told her bluntly. "I think he knows now that I took the stone. He called just a few minutes ago and said he was come ing up. That is why I left. I couldn't see hint -I ant afraid of. him." e a. 9 "lionburne will never kilt you," he stated firmly and into his eyes crept the light she had seen there when he told her that he loved her. Her heart leaped happily. But then it sank with his next woods. "You know I will have to arrest you, Honey." Ilis voice was dull as if all life had left it. His broad shoulders sagged. She turned deathly pale and ,tood UP. "Because I brought tate diamond to you?" She shook her head. She put the box in his hand and his fingers closed over it automatically in a hard grasp. "Dan -I-" The doorbell rang sharply at that instant. Honey stifled a scream with the back of her hand. "It's Joel" she gasped, eyes filled with terror. "Oh, Dant He wilt kill me." "Here-" Dan thrust the box back into her hand. "Get into the bedroom and lock the door and don't come out -no matter what happens" He waited while she hastily picked up her purse: and ran. The bell rang again, this time de- mandingly and forebodingly. (Continued next week.) Answer to Lest Week's Puzzle A- b t 0 0 0 0 11 A 0 R i P P 13 C 1.

Red Pickled Cabbage A firm, crisp', tigh' red cabbage. Salt Spiced vinegar. -Remove the 'Coarse outer cab- bage leades. Cut in quarters and take away any tough parts of UNDAYSCII001.' LESSON By Rev. Barclay Warren Poetry in the Bible Psalm 24; Habakkuk 3:17-19 Golden Text: -He hath put a new song itt my mouth, even praise unto our God. Psalm 40:3. Wordsworth said; "All good poe- try is the spontaneous, overflow of powerful feelings." In the Old Testament Paslms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon, and lamentations as well as portions of other books are poetry. Poetry is meant to foster a feeling, a perception, a hope, a faith. Poetry is music in words: and music is poetry 'in sound. A comparison of the beat- ing of the tom-tom of the African and the songs and music of the Christians forcibly illustrates that the Christian religion has music. David in his song calls for clean hands. The external life must be right. But he also emphasizes "a pure heart." Religion that does not correct man's inner nature is a cheat. Jesus Christ exposed the sham of mere format religion and declared, "Ye must be born again" and "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The occasion for the writing of this Psalm was probably when the ark of covenant was being borne triumphantly into the city of Jer- usalem. The gates are poetically fancied as being too low for the King of glory to enter. The selection front Habakkuk illustrates the fact that the Christ- ian still has his song in the day of adversity. His happiness does not depend on materiae prosperity. He rejoices in• spite of trouble. He is a witness to the fact that God giveth songs in the night, stalk.
