pushes her into the bedroom and then goes
to see who is there.
CHAPTER V.
(Continued from last week)
She punched the light switch and
flooded the living room. There was
naked evidence that Joe had been
in the place. Using a skeleton key
was a snap for him, she knew.
The empty suede bag lay dis•
marded on the divan, its contents
scattered over the room, thrown by
irate hands. Dresser drawers had
been pulled out and the closet was
empty- —, all her lovely clothes
durriped on the floor in a heap;
hats and shoes were everywhere.
There was nothing in the bedroom
left untouched. Even the mattress
lay on the floor.
Honey didn't wait to pick up any
of the things, however. She hardly
gave them a thought after the first
glance. She dressed hurriedly and
packed a suitcase and left. She ran
down the steps to the second floor
and paused to listen, and hearing
no footsteps, she continued her
flight. Outside ir the chilly night
air that swept in from the Pacific,
she made her way quickly along the
sidewalk, staying close to the build-
ings • and watching carefully all
cars that drew near. Joe might be
in any one of thein. Finally, seeing

that one was an empty cab, she
hailed the driver as he was about
to pass her. He backed' up and she
got in.
At the railway station he let her
out and she went in to buy a tick-
et for San Francisco. But before
the man could get it for her, she
changed her mind and ducked out
of the depot and had another cab
take her to the airport. It had only
taken a second as she stood before
the ticket window to realize that Joe
would go by air and be waiting for
her when she arrived in San Fran-
cisco, and that was the very last
thing she wanted to happen.
*
She was just ir °tittle to buy the
remaining vacancy and catch the
northbound plane. She had never
been in the air before but such a
minor detail did not bother her
now. She was willing and glad to
fly at the moment. Not until the
twin motors roared and the• ship
moved swiftly from the ground, did
she relax and take a good breath.
Honey smiled at her fellow pas-
sengers before settling herself com-
fortably to do a bit of thinking.
She leaned back and closed her lids
over tired and sleepy eyes.
"Honey Monroe," she told herself
with firm conviction, "you almost
grabbed off too much when you
took over the Sylvester diamond.
After all, life is worth more than
any jewel in the world—even that
one. But a promise is a promise,"
she argued with herself and sighed
wearily. "I wonder what happened
in Dan's apartment? If Joe gets
arrested, I will be safe—I hope 1
will be safe," she altered, remem-
bering that Dan had said something
about arresting her for stealing the
diamond.
* *
"But if Joe gets away," she
thought; and her heart froze at the
possibility, "my life won't be worth
2 cents. He will hunt sue down.
Nothing will stop him until he finds
me. But if I make San Francisco
. in safety, he won't get the diamond
—ever."
However, destiny ruled`that Hon-
ey should not arrive at her port
of haven so soon—so easily. The
air liner started bucking strong head
winds soon after taking off and the
fog wag- unusuany nex'c a- ong- the
of the way for the pilots, and then
they lost the radio beam they'were
traveling on. Ai- if that were not
enough trouble in itself, something
went wrong with the _motors, mak-
ing a forced -sin -Mg imperative.
"Buckle your safety- belts," in=.
structed the pretty.hostess on the
ship, hurrying from one. passenger'
to the next and waiting to make
sure that,tte orde'x:was,earried.out.,-
"Emergency landing."
Second's tie'ked by 'while •tire • pas-
sengers looked at each other, -trying
to smile, yet with fear lurking in
their eves."- •' - • ..
Then tiles: •liglttsi:: (vent; . nit, and
some one screemed.
Suddenly, Honey's heart stood '
still as a thought shot through her •
mind. The' diamond, She 'had for'
gotten it in the •exciteinent• of,fasten-
ing her safety belt. Quickly , she
grabbed the small parcel front her
purse and dropped the precious box
into her coat pocket.
"Perhaps 1 should have -faced'
Joe," she thought grimly as a naw
fear of disaster enveloped her. "If
the ship cracks' up, I will die arty •
way." •She shuddered at her
thoughts. -
At that moment there was a ter-
rific splash of water as the big liner
struck the ocean instead of land.
Honey fell forward, hitting her head
on the seat in front of her.

them all at once, of course. But
in her years of housekeeping she
• will wash them all eventually.
Two and a half million dishes
are about what the average home-

easy job.
