CHAPTER SV When Dan Brewster had gone, Honey made sure that every win- dow and door of the apartment was closed and locked and the shades drawn tightly. Then, to make doubly sure she was alone, she looked under the bed and in all the closets. Sat- isfied at last that no one was lurk- ing in the rooms, to spy on her, she turned back the mattress on her bed quickly and found her suede bag just where she had put it earlier in the evening. She picked it up care- fully and turned it over, examining it thoroughly from the outside. But only for a moment did she contem- plate it thus; the inside was more alluring. Soon her eager fingers clutched the velvet box in a firm grasp and she hugged it to her heart for just a second. Installed comfortably in the mid- dle of the bed, she opened the case and stared at the jewel with fas- cinated eyes. "It's mine! Really millet" she breathed, exquisite delight in her low voice.

Then' she hurried to the telephone, won- dering who could be calling at that time of the night. "Hello!" she called, forcing sleepy tones into her wide-awake voice. "Miss Monroe speaking." "Honey!" It was Joe and his voice rang sharp and startling. "I want to come up --now! ! have to see you." "You can't," she cried, alarmed by a sixth sense. "It's nearly 2 in the morning. You must be out of your mind, Joe, to think of such a thing. 'Whatever it is, it can wait until morning. Tlfere are such things as coni'entions, you know." "I'm coining up, anyway." The tone he used made her blood run slow. He sounded cold, ruthless and determined. "You can't," she insisted franti- &tally. But he had already clicked .the receiver in her ear. She moved in a frenzied haste. There was no thne to dress, or to do much thinking. She threw a fur coat over her pajamas and grabbed up the velvet box and her purse. The back door led into the hall and that avenue of flight was out. Only the fire escape remained, sinister, scary thing that it was. As she was climbing out the kitchen window, the doorbell rang and kept ringing. "He'll kill mne," she kept repeat- ing over and over, beide herself with terror.

This she gave to the driver and sat huddled back in the corner of the dark cab until the car pulled up and stopped be- fore the white stucco apartment house. On entering she spotted the call- ing cards above the 'belis. She found the one she was looking for, on the second floor, She pushed the ring- er, hard and long; then, she ran up the carpeted stairs and paused at the top step to see which door was going to open to her sut:anions. She heard footsteps in the apart- ment to her left and was before the door, ready to dart in when Dan pulled it baelt'. "Honey! What is it' Why are you here It this time of the night?" "I am afraid," she told him and shivered visibly. "Why •are you afraid, Honey? What has happened since I left you? It hasn't been very long." "I'm afraid Joe Dianburne will kill rue." "Dill you?" repeated Dan and she saw his eyes harden to flaming steel points. "Why?" He shot the ques- tion at 'her but she did not flinch. "Have you seen him? Told him about us already?" She shook her head quickly. "This is why." 'She opened her bag and drew out the velvet box. She sprung the catch and the light fell on the diamond in all its beauty. s: * 4• "The Sylvester diamond," she ex- plained simply. "The Syl-" He caught his breath without finishing the word. He started to lift a hand, then let it fall back heavily at his side as though a weight pulled it down.. The blood slowly drained from his face. He stared at Honey and his eyes were sick. She held the box out to hint and when he made no move to take it, she fell back in the chair and drop- ped it in her lap. She said slowly: "1 know what you are thinking. That I am a thief." There was deep hurt in her voice, tears in her beautiful eyes. "I am not, Dan. I ani not a thief." Still he said nothing as he stood there.

"Joe will kill me for this." "Stop saying that!" he told her bluntly. "I think he knows now that 1 took the stone. He called just a few minutes ago and said he was coin- ing tip.

Psalm 40:3. °Wordsworth said, "All good poe- try is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." In the Old Testament Paslms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon and lamentations as well as portions of other books are poetry. Poetry is meant to foster a feeling, a perception, a hope, a faith. Poetry is music in words: and music is poetry in sound. A comparison of the beat- ing of the tom-tom of the African and the songs and music of the Christians forcibly illustrates that the Christian religion has music. David in his song calls for clean hands. The external life mast be right. But he also emphasizes "a pure heart." Religion that does not correct Irian's, inner nature is a _ cheat. Jesus Christ 'exposed the sham of mere formal religion and declared, "Ye must he born again" and "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The occasion for the writing of this Psalm was probably when the ark of covenant was being borne triumphantly into the city of Jer- usalem. The gates are poetically fancied as being too low for the King of glory to enter. The selection from Habakkuk illustrates the fact that the Christ- ian still has his song in the day of adversity. His happiness does not depend on material prosperity. He rejoices in spite of trouble. He is a witness to the fact that God giveth songs in the night. ,ws° stalk, Cut acros into floe shreds with a sharp knife.
