Returning to the Carey house, Hates sees Joe ,Dan- burne's coups parked In front of the house of a neighbor, Sirs. Ribs.. The next night she sees Jne peering at her through the 100111 window. CHAPTER X Honey's thoughts centered about Dan. Her one aim was to reach him as soon as possible -before Joe Danburne could get at her again, An inner feeling kept warning her that she would not have it, second chance at escape if Joe crossed her path again. Site wondered if she would have great difficulty in see- ing Dan. But regardless of the bar- riers she might encounter, she would have to manage in some way to get to him. It was imperative for- her to talk with him if he had regained consciousness„ and her rightful place was at his side. On the spur of the moment, she turned to the man at her side. "I have to reach the hospital in Los Angeles, Art," she told him, Iter voice urgent. "There is some one hurt itt it that I trust see." "Badly hurt?" he asked h a r gravely. "I don't know but I think so.;. She clasped her hands tightly to- gether and held them in her lap while her eyes focussed unseeing on the road ahead. "There was a fight. I don't know what happened, 1 was in another room. But I do know who was there and what sassed the fight." "I presume the person in ttie hos- pital is the man you love- the grandest fellow in the world?" guessed Art. "Yes," she murmured softly, "he ie the man I love," "And his assailant is the one you are afraid of?" Ills deductions were so correct that Honey wondered suddenly if he could be sotne kind of fortune- teller who could read people's minds. She had never known any- one like- hint in her life before. "Yes," "I think," said Art in matter-of- fact tones, "you need a lawyer very WILLIE WEATHER Says: Gee, look at all the beautiful snow! 1 think it'd be nice if T could save some. The question is, where shall I keep it? It would take up toot much room in the ice- box, 1 know! I'll put it in a snow SNOW AN cro badly. And if you can use nae or the role, I'd be only too glad to-do what I can for you." "I don't want to bother you with my troubles," she began sadly. "After all, I atn just a stranger. You owe me no considerations and I expect nolle." He -laughed softly. 'You are forgetting that I fished you out of the water and therefore i have a little say in the matter of your future." He spoke lightly but she knew he was sincere in wanting to help her. "_And' unless you have e another lawyer, I'll take over your interests front this moment on - or until everything that is worry- ing you is cleared -up." "You are very kind, Art Carey. And I may- need your help 'very badly before I get out of this mess. In a way, it is alt my fault. But it started with a promise I made long ago. If I had been a little more careful in my association, I could probably have avoided this. I just didn't think. It was too easy to follow the adventurous path that led to what 1 wanted." Art kept lifting his eyes to the rear view mirror as they sped along the ocean highway. A frown set- tled on his brow and after a while, he said: It .k m "1 think a car is following us, Honey. It's been back there for some time, and the distance between us never varies. At least, it hasn't since it caught up with us about an hour ago. He's had plenty of op- portunities to go around if he wanted to." There was a worried note in his voice that sent fear to Honey's heart. She half turned in her seat to glance balk at the lights -amber fog light right behind them. Cold shivers flew over her body as in- tuition told her it might be Joe Danburne following. "Let's go faster," site cried, alarmed. "Then if he keeps up with our car, I'll know that it is Joe." - "I ant pretty sure that it is Joe." he stated and his foot pressed the accelerator closer to the floor- boards, The machine surged for. ward. - "Once when the fog lifted back there, I noticed it to be the ca. at Mrs. Ribas, I guess he is the man you mean?" "Yes, Joe Danburne is the man ant very much afraid of. I was en- gaged to hint.'- - "I see." Honey knew that he did not see. He could not possibly khow about the Sylvester diamond. But if he thought it was jealousy on Toe's part that would save further ex- planations for the time being. She sat rigid as tate car gathered speed, eyes straining to watch the road in front 01 thein for approaching cars. She hoped fervently that the au- tomobile was not keeping up with them, but she would not let herself_ look behind to see. (Continued heat week.) SSWOR PUZZLE A i'„B 1. Chun S.

TO "HEARTSICK": I hope itt- deed that- by this time your wife has seen how wrong she was, and brought your boy back to you. (For some reason, your letter was de- layed. in reaching me.) Her conduct, as you describe it, is such as few husbands would put up with. In my opinion, you have been most patient and forgiving. She should remember that she is a mother as well as wife, and, not run around with the wrong crowd. as wild adolescents sometimes do. Site should behave with dignity, and set an example to her children. If she has not come home, why not let her alone for a while? She may wonder at that -and wonder, too, whether the free life she wanted is worth giving up a good husband and children for. Sometimes it takes a person a long while to real- ize -the value of what they so lightly sacrifice to free themselves of re- sponsibilities and seek again the carefree existence of their teen years. If you would like to let me know how things stand now, I shall be glad to hear. * Men judge us as we judge our- selves. If we behave like an "easy mark," they think of us so, and too many take advantage , of it. Anne Hirst can help you evaluate new friends. Address her 123 Eighteenth St., Newv Toronto, Ontario. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Where should the clergyman sit at the wedding breakfast table? A. At the table of the bride's par- ents, and at the left of the bride's mother. Q.

A, No; if a discussion is neces eery, step aside. 0, Is it all right for a girl to have married women for her brides- maids? A. Yes. If they are her oloaest friends, this is perfeedy alt right. Passers-by Maybe you haven't heard, the story of the airman who had to take to -his parachute while he was fly- ing at a height of almost 2,000 feet, owing to engine trouble. On the way down, he stet a little old lady floating up. "Hey," he. yelled "See anything of a Spitfire going down?" "Nope," replied the little old'lady, "you sae anything of a gag stove going SDP" A Mother's Appe,atl One of our western readers writes us on behalf of her little boy, who. - as she puts it - is "very sick' and can't get out to play with the other childrelt." - He gets much amusement from a toy moving picture projector - one which uses colored .'films!' that are actually some sort of transparent paper. Possibly owing to the• fact .that they come from the United States, she cant get any' new ones, and she wonders if any of our readers have some, which perhaps their owtt children are finished with, which she might have. The name of this filth is "Dura - color Animated Film" out out by the Durable Toy and Novelty Corp- oration, New York City, and the machine a Maple Leaf Projector - Model 400. If any of our readers can help, the mother's name and address are Mrs, T. Fara h er 77Regent ent St., Port Arthur, .Ontario. How To o It Otte day _ a young man came la great perplexity to the clergyman Dwight L. Moody, and said: "Mr. Moody, I want to reform and lead a better life. But I don't know how I can give up my undesirable com- panions. "That's not difficult, young man," replied the revivalist, smiling sym- pathetically upon his visitor. "Just live a good life and your undesirable companions will give you up." And So It Moves - . Under the heading "Fame's :Fleet - in,„; Breath," the New York Time! has published a curious but hearten- ing commentary ori our civilization. It is simply a list of persons who passed from the scene in 1948 -- persons persolts not ranlced among earth's great ones but made notable by , some unusual circumstance or ac•• cotuplishment. Among them we find, the inventor of modern automobile headlights, the author of "Sweet Adeline," the winner of the, first international bat - loon race, the creator of the dollar. ,. watch, the promoter of America's first zoning ordinance, the orig- inator of the present-day gumdrop, . the navigator of the first trans-At- lantic flight, the father of the curve ball in, baseball, the developer of installment- buying, and many oth, • ers whose fame sounds ''+ in a minor key today. • We omit the names, for even• those which once flickered briefly in headlines .are now, almost top known and •unhonored as those of the multitude whohave tnade whol- ly unpublicized contributions to tate record of our tines. Opinions will differ as to the value of the 'con>. trib,utious - on gumdrops and in- stallment buying, for instance. But by ingenuity or industry these men started something, most of it plain: ly useful to humanity. Their little cross section of achievement' re- minds us that theprocess is con. tinning - this is the way the world moves. Ill 1949 thousands of "or- dinary folk" ordinaryfolk" in all walks of life will be doing things in better ways, opening their thought to new light. The opportunity to participate in progress lies all around.
