CHAPTER XI
(Continued from last week)
"Out of circulation," she an-
swered truthfully, and was glad she
did not have to tell a lie to a man
who was about to die. "It will never
tempt anyone else again."
"In the ocean?" His voice was an
angry croak and Honey realized
that, had he been able to reach her,
he probably would have choked
the life from her ',tidy. Even know-
ing that he could not move to harm
her, she still had a wild desire to
push back from hint.
"That's as good an answer as
any." she told him.
He gave a rasping laugh that was
ugly to hear and she covered her
ears for a second to hsut it out.
Then he spoke again.
"Too bad your friend Brewster
couldn't know that you stole the
stone from Mrs. Sylvester. f am
sorry now I didn't tell him that
night before I hit hits over the
head."
"Ohl" Honey sucked in her
breath painfully as she understood
what bad happened to Dan in the
apartment. Then she said: "He
knows. I told him. I went there
to give hits the diamond." There
was pleasure in being able to adtnit
that knowledge to Joe even in his
critical condition.
There was a gasp from hits, both
of surprise and paid. He waited to
draw a deep breath and she heard
him struggle hard to get it. She
closed her eyes as bitter tears
spilled over her lashes. Joe had to.
few good points that she remem-
bered now as she sat there watching,
him -sending her beautiful flowers,
spending his Money freely, taking
her to all the nice places of enter-
tainment. And with pangs of re-
morse, she recalled that she had
giv:n hint nothing in return, except
a fere smiles, her company, and be-
ing engaged to him after a fashion.
She started to touch him, to add
comfort to his last minutes if she
could; then she jerked her hand
back quickly, remembering that Joe
was a dangerous man.
"Are you in great pain, Joe?" she
asked gently. "I am sorry, you
know." Ant. site was.
"Pain, h-!' he hissed from be-
trteen closed teeth, gritting back
the agony from within. Honey re-
coiled as if he had struck her, so
filled with hatred were the wotds.
"I'mdone for And you know it.
But you're a fool if you think you
can get away with double-crossing
Joe Danburne."
"How did you find out I took
the diamond, Joe?"
"By the only clue the police had."
"What was it?" Her heart stood
still with fright. 1f Joe had guessed,
the law might do the same thing.
For a long time he did not say
anything and Honey was beginning
to wonder If he were dead, when he
spoke again with new strength in
his voice.
"A 'black button with a chip out
of its side. I told you tate last time
you wore that black suit to lunch'
cion that one of the buttons had a
piece out of it. Aud you laughed
.cause I noticed such a mall da -
tall; You lost that button when
J'•ou Stole tate purse front Mrs. Syl-
t'ester, Honey. It pays to remem-
ber small things when you are deal -
in jewels. And all the time I
deal-
ing ought you were on the level."
"You won't understand, Joe, but
*sere le a'big difference in my rea-
ISSUE 8- 1949
son for taking the diamond and
yours," site said simply: "I'm not
a thief and never have been." She
steeled herself to go on. "I never
loved you. 1 had a purpose its mind
when I became engaged to you -
wanted to. get that diamond, and
through you the path was opened.
And so I strung along." She low-
ered her voice to impart the other
bit of. news she wanted to tell hint.
"You see, Joe, I love Dan Brew-
ster, and I have for a long time,
but he didn't know it."
"It doesn't matter now who you
love." He spoke just above a whis-
per and Honey had to lean forward
to catch his words. "You won't
live to marry anyone." His words
sounded final, as though he knew
it for certain.
Honey was out of his line of
focus, but she shook her head in de-
nial, not realizing that ire could not
see her.
"No, I'rt not going to die, Joe.
I'm not even hurt. The crash shook
me up a bit and knocked Inc •out
for a few minutes. But f am all
right now."
She could see Art's tall figure pac-
ing to and fro on the highway,
impatiently waiting for a motorist
to cone to their aid.
Joe took up his end of the conver-
sation as if he had not heard her
word of denial about her death.
"There were two things in the
world I wanted above all else be-
cause I love beauty. The Sylvester
diamond and you. I can't have the
diamond now. You saw to that. But
I can take you with nae." A gur-
gling sound escaped his throat. It
sounded like he was choking. Tears
came faster to Honey's eyes and she
wrung her hands helplessly as she
sat near him, watching.
He struggled hard for a breath
and got it. Then with great effort,
he moved his body slightly. His
head turned to face her and she was
glad of the darkness that hid what
might lie in his eyes at the moment.
« 4
As they faced each other there in
the darkness, a silence seemed to
settle over the earth and not a
sound came through the night. it
was so still that Honey could hear
her own heart thumping. When she
thought she could stand the quiet
no longer, Joe spoke.
"You are very beautiful, Honey.
But you are going to die," he said
and there was conviction in his tone.
"No, Joe. I'm all right," insisted
Honey.
"You're going to die," he repeated
and his voice was stroirger now.
And then suddenly he lifted an arm
and a gun swayed toward her at
close range. She tried to move, but
too late. There was an explosion
and a spurt of fire as Joe pulled
the trigged.
Honey slumped over in a heap on
th- ground as Art came running
up.

IINDAY SCIiOOI,
LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
•
The Standards Of The Kingdom
Matt. 5:1-12! 7:24-27.
Golden Text: Seek ye first the
kingdom of God, a!td his rig9hteous-
ness.-Matt. 6:33.
Most people will agree that no
three successive chapters in all the
Bible are as significant and import-
ant as Matthew 5-7. Here is the
manifesto of the King. He said, "I
came not to destroy the law, but to
fulfill it." He did not come to fulfill
the law as it had been misinter-
preted and applied by the Pharisees.
They had sought to keep the letter
of the law and still violate its true
meaning. Here Jesus restores the
-law to its proper meaning and gives
examples to illustrate what He
means. Love is the perfect fulfill-
ment of the perfect law.
The beatitudes with Iwhiclr ?the
manifesto opens affirm that those
who follow God's plan are happy.
The Greek word translated "bless-
ed" is in some versions translated
"happy." Front the time an indi-
vidual begins to tura away from sin
to God, he receives a pleasure of
happiness. This happiness increases
and is characteristic of the Chris-
tian's life, sustaining hint even when
reviled and falsely accused.
The sermon closes with a payable.
The person who hears and does the
sayings of Jesus is compared to a
man who built Ms house upon a
rock, The house withstands the
storm. But the one who hears and
fails to do the sayings of Jesus Is
like the man who built on sand. The
house collapses in the storm. Know-
ing the teaching of Jesus is not suffi-
cient. V i'e must obey.
He !who takes the way of the
hingdom is freed from worry. "Seek
ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you." "These
things" are those of which you have
need. Among the other precious
gems of truth in this sermon on the
mount isthe golden rule, "Therefore
all things whatsoever ye would that
then should do to you, de ye even so
to them."
WILLIE WEATHER Says:
I'm quite con-
cerned about my
son these days.
He's a very good
boy all spring,
summer and fall,
but as soon as
winter comes, he
starts to bite
people.
I guess that's
because there's a
r'a in the heir.

AN NE HIRST 1
"DEAR ANNE HIRST: Illy
daughter, 23, is separated from her
husband, and is living with rte. She
has a sweet little girl of four, T
don't know how
inuclt longer I
can stand her
conduct!
"Site has
never had the
responsibility of
taking care of
her child. All
she cares about
is having fun.
She' drinks, and stays out till three
or four in the morning, sometimes
does not come home at all. She
has even taken the baby with her!
"13er husband knows nothing of
this. He wants to go back with
her, but she won't consider it. She
wants to run around with other
men. .
"I've been a good mother, tried
to thane it as easy as possible for
her. She works during theaday, and
T keep the child, do iter laundry,
attd accept very little money for
everything.
"I've talked to her many tines,
told her how wrong site is, in a nice
way. I've even tried to force her
to behave, but to no avail. My hus-
band (her stepfather) doesn't ap-
prove, and there's a constant quar-
rel at our house all the time. Bet-
ween the two they are killing me
by degrees. I cannot sleep until
she gets home, and I cannot take
11 much longer, '
"Shall I tell her husband? IIe is
one of the finest men I ever knew.
I don't want to hurt my daughter,
for in spite of everything, I still
love I'v with all my heart. All I
want. n for her to lire a good life
and be a good mother.
A WORRIED MOTHER"
a Sours is a harsh decision .14
* make, and I sympathize with you

* To tell your daughter that she
* can no longer live with you unless
«
she behaves herself, and that 0
* she doesn't intend to she must
* take her child and live elsewhere,
* sounds the epitome of cruelty.
* Yet it may come to that. So long
* as she knows her child is cared

* life. Living alone with- the baby
* may awaken her to her respou-
* sibilities, and force her to become
* a stable and dependable moth,.
* No one can know until she tries

* If you think her husband.

* to approach her, however, in her
* present mood, would only alienate

* You cannot continue living like

make things too easy for her chil-
dren. For their own sakes, they
need to hold up their end and per-
forin the duties which fife has laid
upon then. Tf you need courage
