CHAPTER XI
(Continued from last week)
"Honey!" Art cried. There was
no answer.
Art Carey tace went white in
the utter darkness as he fell on his
knees beside the huddled figure of
the girl. In hurried panic he turned
her over on her back, and as his
hand touched the shoulder of her
coat he felt the warm wetness of
blood, It was a shock, that slip-
pery warmth, but there was en-
couragement in the position of the
wound. Art felt his heart pound
heavily* with relief, and he thought
abstractedly that it must have stoo-
ped altogether during that moment
after he found her.
But there was nothing he could
do, and the realization swept over
him sickeningly. He looked up
front Honey's still form. and he saw
Joe Danburne, Something burned
inside him as he got to his, feet
and moved heavily, with narrowed
styes, towards the man who had
cried to kill this girl. But Joe Dan-
burne did not move, did not look
up as Art stood towering over him.
And the toe that Art put roughly
against Danburne's chest to turn
Brim over stopped abruptly, and
®!takingly withdrew, Joe Danburne
was dead.
It was at that moment that Art
heard the sound of an approaching
ear, and he turned and ran to the
middle of the road. It wouldn't be
hard to attract the attention of the
driver; the wrecks of the two cars

were a hulk of black, twisted metal
and agonized bands of weaving
chromium, standing an ugly sentinel
to doom up before approaching
headlights.
He heard the rubbery bite of tires
as the brakes of the car were ap-
plied, and thea a matt was running
toward hits. He followed Art to
where the tyvo bodies lay, Honey's
limp butwarm and breathing; Dan-
bnrne's cold and still. There was
a town just a few miles farther on,
and a hospital. Honey would be
all right...
* * *
CHAPTER XII •
The sickly smell of ether was the
first thing honey became conscious
of. •Though she had never been un-
fortunate enough to come in con-
tact with it before, one guess was
enough to tell her what it was and
that site must be in a hospital.
There was no noise, just absolute
quiet.
She opened one eye slowly and
then the other. Art was standing at
the foot of the bed, very pale and a
small bandage across one temple.
She shifted her eyes without mov-
ing her head on the pillow and saw
two nurses and a doctor itt a white
coat, all looking at her hopefully.
She smiled and Art moved around
to the side of the bed and took her
hand in his.
Feel better?" he asked her with
grave concern in itis voice as he
looked down upon her.
"Did I get shot?" she asked him
instead of answereing his question,
her eyes demanding the truth.
Art nodded his head and the doc-
tor came forward.
"In the shoulder, young lady,"
said the physician. "You will be all
right" There was assurance in his
manner and tone. "You were mighty
lucky. The bullet left a clean hole
and went on out. There was no
,probing to be done."
* * *
Relief swept across her face. "Can
I travel?" She had to get to Dan
and every second was precious.
Front the events in the past two
days, it was beginning to look as
if she would never get to tell Dan
what she wanted him to know.
"Today?" she added eagerly,
"Well, no---" lie began, his gray
head shaking slowly, but she inter-
rupted.
"I must," Tears threatened to
cone to the surface but she pushed
them back stubbornly. "I have to
get to Los Angeles without delay.
Arc we far from there?"
"A matter of 200 miles, Miss
Monroe." He studied her thought
fully and she did not lower her be-
seeching eyes from his; they pleaded
with him to understand. "You
might leave tomorrow in a plane,"
he suggested after a minute or two.
"It wouldn't be such sstrain that
way."
When the doctor and nurses with-
drew from"the room, Honey asked
after Joe.

Can't We Be Friends, Little Girl? -Mary Janet Mueller, 25

they're such friends as a St. Bernard dog and a Sicilian donkey.

I ant writing this piece_ today for
all those teen-agers who have writ-
ten ole during the past few weeks,
telling me how
much they' re-
sent the disci-
pline their par-
ents are impos-
ing on them.
They admit
they did wrong,
but they don't
like the nature
of their pun-
ishment, and every one of htem
complains, "I've learned my lesson.
How much longer must I submit
to this."
One girl, deprived of a boy friend,
ran away from hone, and caused
her mother heartbreaking anxiety
until she was found and brought
back.
Another one got into some trouble
(she doesn't specify what) and now
is violently opposed to being "treat-
ed like a child."
A third was skipping school and
spending her time at the movies,
A fourth was discovered seeing a
married than, and resents being
guarded: I'll never make that mis-
take again!"
* Sometimes the girls themselves
* wonder. It doesn't occur toihem
* that without the wise training of
* their parents they would be flung
* into a sorry world utterly unpre-
pared for the unknown dangers
* that confront them there.
* Deprived of their parents',
* knowledge of the world, cheated
* of their love and understanding,
* these girls would have no inkling
* of how to choose proper friends,
* no acquaintance with the pro-

ro-.* tecting customs Which rule so-

* line, in loyalty, good sportsman-
* ship nor any of the graces which
* now endear theta to their friends.
* Yet whets they break the rutes
* their, patents have imposed, they
* feel entirely competent to pre-
* scribe the nature and the period of
* their penalty!
* They seem to feel their. parents
* impose punishment to vent their
* personal anger, or to "get even,"
*....or just to show their authority.
*-They- do not realize how much
* easier it would be to let them
* have their own way. They do
* not sense that they must be pro-

* or lack of judgment.
* It is often difficult for a parent

* understanding of the girl's nature,
* and a great deal of love and deter-

be good sports if they use their
heads. Anne Hirst understands, and
will try to explain why parents be-
have as they do if you write her.

Lord Relpt Those
Some of the world's greatest'
minds have discoursed on the power
of. prayer, but we Iike this sum-
ming up a readier sends:
His grandfather and father were
plowing their field when a terrible
lightning storm broke. Grandfather
ran for the farmhouse, looked back
and saw his son staring skyward.
"Hey," he yelled, "what are you

"Studio Shopping"
Has Its Problems
Being a studio shopper is nice
work is you can get it, and about
half the women in Los Angeles ap-
pear to be trying.
Almost every time Shopper Dor-
othy Steppling says, "Charge it to
Twentieth Century -Fox," the cus-
tomers in earshot, as well as the
clerk waiting on her, all say; "Ooh,
what an interesting job you have,
how can I get one like it?"
The line for the job forms on
the right, if tate ladies can stand
on their feet that long. There are
less than a dozen shoppers all told
apd they love being paid to buy
gobs of merchandise at somebody
else's expense.
Shoppers buy everything an
' actress -wears front the skin out, or
the materials with which the ward-
robe department can make the
clothes. That includes everything
frons anti-perspiyltnt shields to hat
trimmings "a cow can eat." Winnie
Martin, Paramounnt's buyer, once
actually filled such a 'request, with
carrots, lettuce and turnips eculp-
tared to •loolt like flowers.
Targets for Today
The • shopper starts out in the
morning with a list of items to buy
that day, along with samples of
fabrics and colors to be matched.
One 'day recently, Dorothy Step
pling had to get these:
A pale blue scarf with white
polka dots the size of a quarter;
white suede pumps, size 3/C, for
June Haver (this was In winter
time); twenty yards of apple green
chiffgn and ten' yards of velvet in
the exact same shaded navy blue
tennis shoes, the kind nuns would
wear, for "Come to the Stable";
short white suede gloves, size, 6%;
blank cord bag with round tor-
toise shell opening big enough for
Anne Baxter's hand to fit in; heart -
shaped pin that looks like diamonds
but can be rhinestones; men's black
gaiters to fit Olga San Juan; three
yards of green ostrich boa; six blue
roses to 'match sample; pick up
belt made to match glove, for Susan
Haywar0.

The Burden
I knew a young artist who had a
genius for picking out another'0
weakness or affectation.
One night thls young Ulan had n
dream, He saw himself on a bar-
ren 'road, struggling beneath a
heavy burden. He cried out as ha
strove to support it: "What is thin
weight that 1 must carry? Whp
'must I carry it?"
From somewhere he seemed to .,
hear: "It is the weight of the faulttt
you have found in others. 'Why dos
y,01A complain? ° You discovered
them -should they not. belong ;ata
you now?"
