When they pulled into the garage, Honey hop- ped out of the car promptly and ran ahead to the house. As it was very late, she went at once to her room, but not to bed. She knew now why Mrs. Riba's eyes had seemed so familiar; 'why they had disturbed her ever since early evening when she had met the woman, They were like Joe's. Mrs. Riba, of course, was the sister he had spoken of vaguely at times, but he had always given the impression that she lived in some foreign coun- try and that he seldom saw her. But that was like Joe -never let- ting one know anything definite about hila or his family. She had gone around with him for months, and yet, she knew nothing tangible of his' life; she could only guess, and up until recently, she had not done much of that. She had merely coasted along, intent on one thing -the diamond, and how to get her hands on it. * s * "Why did he have to come here of all places?" she demanded of the four walls, "Why couldn't his sister live in San Diego or New York?" She walked the floor treading lightly in her stocking feet so the others would not hear her. She must not fall into Joe's hands under any circumstances. The love he felt for her would not keep him . from being utterly cruel in •trying to force from her the whereabouts of the diamond., However, he would never get the stone; she was certain of that. She would die at his hands before she would tell him where it was. "He shall never have itl" she vowed to herself. "And he may not kill me until he does. But Joe knows ways of torturing his vic- tims that would be worse than death And I will be no exception." She athuddered•and it was not from the cold, damp air which blew in from the Pacific. It was stark, naked fear of the future that sent wave after wave of shivers over her slim body. Tears came to her eyes. "I don't want to die," she sobbed and fell on the bed. "I want to clear myself with Dan. He must know that I am not a thief and believe in me once again." * * 0. It was nearly dawn when she finally drifted into sleep, only to be awakened again by insistent knocking on her door.She opened sleepy eyes, then sat up 'startled. "Who is it?" she cried, heart pounding excitedly. "Let's go fishing," called Art cheerily. "Fishing?" she repeated as if she had never heard of the sport before. "Ohl Fishing." She relaxed. "Is it time to go now?" "Sure it is," he told her with an amused chuckle. "Get up, sleepy CROSSW PUZZLE ACROSS 1, Backward tendency 4. Runs 1, 9. Insect place 12. Macaw 10. And not 13.

Oh, Dan, my darling, I love youl I. will come soon -very need, I hope." * * * Art spoke just then. "Ma said Mrs. Riba invited us for dinner to- night, in your honor. She thinks w.: are sweethearts."

UNDAY ClUuL LESSON By Rev, R. Barclay Warren The Boyhood and Youth of Jesus Luke 2:39-52; Mark, 6:3ab. Golden : Text - Thechild„ grew, and waxed strong in 'spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. Luke 2:40. Fran infancy until thirty years ofage we have only one picture of Jesus. But that one tells us all'we need to kiiow. Jesus was a real boy, Joseph and Mary travelled for one day in the large caravan before they were alarmed abouthis absence, Can't we hear theme as- suring one another that he was with one of his chums and would join thein when camp was pitched?1 His evident humanity is further empha- sized by the question of his neigh- bours years later, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Jude., and, Simon? and are not this sisters here with us?" But Jesus was -different, too. To attend the Passover Feast, for the first time hac been a thrilling ex- perience for him as it was for all boys. He was now a "son of the law." But for him it had a deeper in ening His understanding aston- ished the teachers of the law. His answer to Joseph and Mary when they found him in the temple indi- cates a consciousness of a divine mission, "Did you not know that it is myduty to be engaged upon my Father's business?', * * * Jesus was an example even in boyhood. He went with Joseph and Mary and was always obedient to then. Much of our juvenile, delin- quency can be traced to the failure of children learning to honour their parents, The child who doesn't learn to obey his parents willgbe a problem in school and in the social order generally. The cruel parent is - the one who fails to train up the child in the way he should go. Jesus was sinless in boyhood. Tempted as others he yielded not H was the perfect life.

"1 don't have any brothers and sisters," answered the second lad, "but I'have three papas by my first mama and four mamas by my' last papal" Answer to This Week's Puzzle GETS VOICE BACK c ytapTOMS GO SpeaicsinWhispers ers Until ms" Helped by yoil eat tine lbccaraeso hoarmIspokealeetin LTMO DSlsetiustant rellearomboursestes.. 0ID8, St lW Oaccy n ban tY oat icritotioW he 0rstslgn of dissolve op9Ly0151 Io ..
