CHAPTER VL Honey did not know where she was and sibs hated to open her eyes to find out. But her whole body ached and she was cold and very wet and lying in a most uncomfort- able position with her head resting on something hard -not a pillow, to be sure. As her senses returned to normal, she bee:une aware of motion and a chug -chug -ging noise like a small boat would snake. She waited several minutes, trying in vain to identify some familiar sound, thea she opened her eyes slowly. Pea-souje fog was the first tiling She saw above her. She lowered the line of her vision and made out the form of a mat: near by. He was gazing out to sea and sat very still, hunched over in deep thought, a pipe between his lips. "Where ane 1?" she called, teeth chattering, and lifting her head from its hard resting place. Her voice startled the man and he turned quickly to face her. "Thank goodness you're alive." There was downright relief in his voice. "I was afraid .. , ." He did not finish the sentence. It was then that realization of what had happened to her came back to her mind. The air liner had crashed, She shuddered like she had a chjll. "Are -are the others-?" She could not go on with her question, but he guessed what she was trying to ask. "I only found you," he said and his voice was gentle and soothing. "Are you all right?" "Yes." At least she felt no pain and presumed she was not hurt. * * There was no more conversation until they made land. He helped her out of the boat at a deserted old wharf in the cove. She looked at him then. He was young and tall, slightly stooped of shoulders and very sun-tanned. "I will take you to my house," he told her and there was a softness to his voice that Betrayed culture: know you're cold with those wet clothes on. Ma'll loan you some of hers. She is no more than a mite herself -just about like you." He smiled down at her and Honey liked his face instantly, so open and honest. "I really ant freezing," she said simply and started to follow him and discovered that her equilifbrium. was not what it used to be. He took her arm and she leaned on • his strength as they climbed the rocky cliffs to a little house sitting at the end of the trail, overlooking the ocean below. Even in the fog, Honey marveled at the brightly colored flowers surrounding the house, the restful atmosphere every- where that spelled peace. "Mal" the young man called and there was a caress even when he lifted his voice to shout. A little white-haired woman carne to the door in an-w*er to his sum- mons. "Sakes, Art!" she cri,.d and carte forward to meet them. "Who is that with you? Why, she is wet as a drowned kitten." "I certainly am." 'snuled Honey convincingly. "I have been in the ocean and he fished me out." She found that lightness came back to her voice without much effort. "You were fishing, weren't you?" "Honest, I was fishing. I have never caught one so big before, nor half as pretty." "Colne in, young lady. Don't pay any attention to that son of mine. He likes to chatter." It was easy to see that she adored him, "I'll give you some dry things to put on be- fore you catch. pneumonia." Inside the house, Art reached to take . her coat off, but just then Honey remembered the stone fast- ened in her pocket, and she huddled deeper into the wrap. After all the dangers she had been through for the diamond she was not going to take a chance of losing it now. "Not yet." she told him with a smile, and followed the woman into the small bedroom, "Art probably didn't think to in- troduce himself," said her hostess. "I am his mother, Mrs. Carey. He is a nice boy but he forgets his manners now and then." Mrs. Carey looked at Honey inquiringly. "I am so glad to know you. My name is Honey -ah -Honey Roe." She smiled with relief when she saw that the woman did not notice the hesitation over her name. She hated to lie about anything, but on the moment it seemed the wis- est course to take. Site was not ready to advertise her true identity. "That is a right pretty name." Mrs. Carey pulled things from the dresser drawers and put them on the bed. "Kind of romantic, too. Well, here is everything now. You hurry and change," and she left the room. Honey slipped quickly out of her wet things. And as she dressed, she asked herself: "I wonder how far we are from San Francisco? I must get there as soon as I can." * * . The light woolen dress fitted per- fectly. She took the diamond from the fur coat and dropped it into the pocket of the borrowed dress whose skirt was rather full and hid the sag to some extent where the box weighted it down. When she came out of the room, there was a nice hot cup of coffee, toast and preserves waiting for her. Art was smoking his pipe and looking out of the window. He turned as she came in. "I guess we should ride into town and notify the authorities of your safety," he suggested. Honey shook her head quickly. That was the one thing she did not • want. uPlease'don'E I have rib relatives to inform and I hate to' be bothered by reporters. I would rattier forget the crash for a while -if I can, she added wistfully. "There is no one to worry about whether I was saved or not," Her heart cried: "Except Llan, and he niay hate you by now for what he thinks you are. A thief." A shudder passed quickly over her. "You poor lamb," consoled Mrs. Carey sympathetically. "W'y'e won't mention it again. And if any one sees you here ... Well, I can al- ways invent a daughter or an old school chum. "Or," drawled Art and his eyes twinkled with fun, "I did know some girls in school. ina. I could have a visitor." Right after lunch, which seemed the best meal she had es-er eaten, the fog lifted and Honey went for a walk along the rugged shore with Art. The breakers pounding hard against the rocks, was calming to Honey's over -wrought neri'es and she breathed deeply of the salty air. As they walked, she learned that Art was a lawyer of profes- sion but that he and his mother were in California for his health. And now that he was. well again, they would be going .back to the Middle Western town to take up life where they left off. (Continued next week.) CR�/jJiSQ SWORD W t^J A Z L E ACROSS 1.

Golden Text:--Tllese things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.' -1 John. 5:13. Twenty-one of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are epistles or letters, most of them written by Paul. Sometimes be- cause a person was about to make a journey to some church or churches, or to some place where a friend was, Paul would send a letter along, as he did to Titus in Crete. Because the church at Philippi had sent a present to Paul in Rome, Paul sent back a "thank -you" letter by this same messenger when he returned -the letter to the Philip- pians. Paul's affection for the' churches is especially evident in this lesson. He was writing from a Roman prison, and doubtless recalled his prison experience when he first visited Philippi. Though he and Silas had been beaten and their feet fastened in the stocks, at mid- night they prayed and sang praises unto God. This same dauntless spirit possessed him now. He was no whiner. 'He was praying with joy, confident "that He which hath begun a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ." 'While one. faces the fact of phys- ical illness it is 'indisputable that a considerable proportion of ailments arise from unhealthful thinking. Worry is the greatest disease. Paul gives us good advice, "Whatsoever things are true, -honest, -just, - pure, -lovely, -of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things." .ANDY I ' 'S A power emery -wheel is the last - est cutting tool one can use for sharpening dull edges. lacking this grinder, a thick blade can be res diced to ysable 511911r In ra i,il work with a file, taking off the ex- cess metal until it is titin enuuete Then it is brought to n keen cut- ting edge on a whetstone.
