CHAPTER XII
(Continued from last week)
"Dead," said Art quietly. "inter-
nal injuries. He was dead when -I
got to you after he fired the gun.
I should never have left you alone
with him." He looked away for a
second. "I gues. he used the last
ounce of life he had to pull the
trigger. But don't worry, Honey,
he brought it on himself."
"I know," she said, but not with-
out some sadness. "Can you get
me a Los Angeles paper, Art?"
"Sure." He picked up his hat.
"And I'll see about a plane for
morning," He started for the door.
"Art-" He carne back to the
side of the bed. "I can't thank you
enough for everything you've done.
But I must pay for the damages
to your car."
"Nonsense. It was insured. And
the little cut on my head is some-
thing to remember a lovely girl by
when I turn her over to the man
she loves."
Honey smiled and there was hap-
piness shining in the depths of her
blue eyes.
There was no news in the paper
about the district attorney so Honey
had to wait until she arrived by
plane in Los Angeles to learn any-
thing about Dan Brewster.
An ambulance met them at the

airport and carried her to the 1 os-
pital, despite Honey's Insistence that
she felt well enough to ride in a
taxi. But Art overruled her objec-
tions. He was a Masterful person'
in his quiet sort of wax.
"They can't put me to bed," she
told Art firmly as the ambulance
made its way through the heavy
traffic. "I am going to the hospital
for another reason."
And she stubbornly refused to be
placed in a room when they arrived."
"When I have seen Mr. Brew-
ster I'll go to bcd, and not before."
she said emphatically, her blue eyes
snapping. "Please take me to him."
"He is not having company,' the
head nurse told her for the sixth
consecutive time. "You cannot see
hint.'
* * *
"I will see him. I have to," she
insisted.
"Official orders," the nurse' re-
plied briefly.
Art interveneu then. "Let them
take you to a roost, Honey. I'll
see the right persons and fix it for
you. It wilt save time."
Tears swam in her eyes, but she
permitted herself to be hauled
away. She was very angry and did
not mind letting her attendants
know it. Nothing they did for her
was, right.
Honey scowled at the nurse at-
tending her. Then she brightened.
She decided to try another ap-
proach to get what she wanted.
After all, she remembered from
past experiences, smiles were more
effective than words.
-"I know I'm being terrible. Please
forgive me." She gave the girl her
most charming smile and the nurse.
could not resist and smiled back at
her. "Do you know Mr. Brewster?"
"He's its No. 240," the nurse said
innocently. "He's doing nicely. He
has been rational since yesterday
morning but he won't talk about
what happened to hint, except to
say he was hit over the head with
something. Everybody thinks he is
worrying about the affair. He looks
so sad all the time and never smiles.
He doesn't even put forth any effort
to get well."
* 0 t:
Honey turned her face so the
nurse could not see her eyes, "l
front need you for a while. I am
all right now."
Shortly, the girl left her atone.
Honey repeated "240,' and slipped
from her bed. She was careful of
her wounded shoulder as she walked
slowly to the door. The hall was
deserted at the moment so she
turned down it in search of the
number she wanted. It was not
far from her room.

"What am 1 to do with my fiance,
Anne Hirst?" asks a distraught
young man, "She keeps postponing
our marriage because she feels she
has to help her
married sister.
That sister has
three daughters,
and my girl has
been contribut-
ing part. of her
salary to them
for years
(We've been
engaged f o r
seven.) Recently when one daughter
graduated, she gave her a good
watch (I helped pay for it) and
she keeps on providing luxuries they
otherwise wouldn't have. I grow
impatient" n
It seems that the mother of these
daughters does not approve of the
situation. She wants her sister to
marry. And she feels her girls
would be better off without so
much indulgence.
"Last year, for instance," contin-
ues the young man, "I had a chance
to get s car. I wanted a roadster
just for us two, but it ended in
my buying a sedan so we could
take her family driving with us!"
DOWN TO EARTH
* This fiancee is too sure of her
* young man. For years she has
* kept hint dangling. He has been
* at her beck and call, falling in
* with any plan she concocts-
* which usually includes her sister's
* family. The whole setup suits her
* perfectly. She is playing Lady
* Bountiful to her nieces, and she
* enjoys their gratitude. Her fiance
* trots beside her, too weak to pro-
* test spending money he should be
* saving for their marriage. And
* the marriage continues to be post-
* poned.
* 1 know his type, Amiable, ken-
* Brous, easy-going, hating an argu-
* ment more than anything in the
* world. Complacent iu whatever
* part he is expected to play in this
* little drama, but growing more
* and more restive as the years
* pass by and marriage seems
* further and further to retreat from
* from hint.
* If he wants to marry this girl
* at all, he had better put his foot
* down. Tell her he is tired of play-
* ing second fiddle to her bow and
* set Easter, or June 1st,say, as
* the wedding date, If she isn't
* ready by 'then, he is through.
* The shock will stop her in her
* tracks. Suddenly she will realize
* that she is not dealing with the
* spineless creature she's known.
* She is dealing with a man, a man

Mistakes Some
People Made
I -bought a "bargain" farm. Since
I knew nothing about farming, it
sounded dirt cheap to me. But when
I finished remodeling the old house,
and still had a Karn to build and
land that had to be fed before it
would produce,; I now know it
would have been cheaper to have
bought a good farm especially since
.1 had the stoney.,
Buying a home after only a su-
perficial examination' was our cost
licst' mistake. New wallpaper and
paint covered such. common 'de-
preciation ' as leaky roof, rotting
woodwork around the kitchen, sink
and decaying foundation. After in-
vesting all our money in the house,
we were unable to make these need-
ed repairs. N. D. M.
Neglecting my ` daughter'3 teeth
was My' worst mistake. I put. off
taking her to the dentist in her
early childhood, and now she is 20'
and is already wearing false teeth!
_Mrs. J. M.
I felt I could spare neither the
time nor the expense to terrace my.
good farm, Now I am old, and it
is sad to look at ditches and gullies
ori land that once grew fine cotton.
J.G.S.
I carelessly burned tyash- too
close to our car, forgetting that et
car contains gasoline. J. L. J.
Not keeping upthe buildings on
out farm when they began weak-
ening was my biggest mistake. The
result is that now all buildings need
repair""'4't cliice; and the expense is
too great to have it done. Z, V. G.
We should have set out many
more fruit trees : and grapes than
we did, when we moved to our
new farm. We have been here 15.
years, and still do not have an ade-
quatc'orchard. . J. ft. A.
I put off buying farm equipment,
depending on the promise ofneigh-
bors to lend me equipment to plow,
gather grain, lespedeza,press hay,
etc. But just wben I needed it mdst
they were using it. I lost enough
to have bought the machinery I
needed. 11. M. A.
Parson's Poser
The vicar was addressing the Sun-
day school' children. After several
minutes he 'asked: "And.' now is
there any boy or girl who would lilte
to ask me a question?" .
For a moment there was silence
and •then a shrill voice piped out:
"Please, sir, why, did the angels
walk. up and down Jacob's ladder
when*they had wings?"
"All, I see," said the vicar. ."Now
would any boy or girl. like to answer
that question?" • '
