She gives them the she name nd Art Honey Roe, but g the that newspaper ohne when name is listed among the victims. CHAPTER VL i Continued from last week) "I'll sure be glad to get back, too," he added. "Loafing is fine for a time but then you get fed up with it" He took out his pipe and filled it." "I've had my say. Now, let's hear about you," he suggested and lit his pipe. Honey's brow clouded, "There isn't much to tell," she faltered. "I am an orphan since my grand- mother died several years ago. I live. by myself and do as 1 please and have a very good time. Even walking with Art, and lis- tening to his soft, interesting voice could not erase Dan from her mind. She kept remembering that he thought of her as a thief and would have her arrested when he found she was still alive. His love would not interfere with' what he deemed justice. "A penny for your thoughts. They must be interesting to take you so far away," said her companion, re- calling her to the present. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "They aren't for sale." "Ah, a man then. When a girl is secretive abbout what she is think- ing, it's always a man." "I won't argue the point," she laughed, "because lawyers have a way of winning their points." "We sure try hard." Honey rode into the village with Art for the mail in the late after- noon. It seemed she had known him always and not just since early morning. While he assorted and opened his letters, he handed her the paper to read. The headlines, •of course, were all about the crash. There among the list of victims was her name, Honey Monroe of Los Angeles. She looked up to see Art Carey reading the sante list over her shoulder. Surprise crossed his face and he lifted his eyes and met hers square- ly.. There was a hint of inquiry in ;wx#her 4e the of his.: but"he Said' :lent -s,;. irng. Honey lowered her gaze quick- ly and continued to read the other captions on the front page while a flush of guilt burned her cheeks. A moment later, slie caught her breath and a sob rose to her throat as her eyes fell or an item near the bottom of the page. CHAPTER VII With .hands that shook uncon- trollably, Honey folded the evening . paper carefully, trying to pretend that all was well when her whole world was about to crumble, and handed it back to Art. That last article she had read was about Dan- iel Brewster. He was in the hos- pital, the paper said, hovering be- tween life and death. His assailant was unknown and there seemed to be a cloak of mystery surrounding the affair. The police, it said were inclined to believe that a woman was involved, since the bedroom door was locked from the inside and escape had been made by sheets over' the balcony, and the knots were nbt the kind usually made by Then. The smile she tried to give Art was a mere shadow and her lips trembled, but she held back the Wrief that wanted to come out. hen she could speak without giv= ing herself away, she said lightly: "Newspapers do get things and names wrong; now and then. don't they?" "Do they;" be asked stiffly, and she knew instantly that he was wondering why she had lied about her nalile. "I wonder?„ Her heart cried out in agony to go to Dan, but common sense told her to stay under cover until he was well enough to talk to her. That was her only chance. of security. As for Joe, ,she reasoned, he would see her name among the crash victims and would cease to look fa: her. She WA so deep in her own thoughts that she jumped when Art spoke to her. "You wouldn't care to explain some things, Honey?" "I'd like to, yes -but 1 can't," she told him earnestly, feeling ter- rible that he had caught Iter in a falsehood when he and his mother had taken her in so gladly and without asking questions. "Please believe me, Art." she implored. "And your name really is Honey Monroe?" he kept on with determi- nation seeking the truth anyway. CROSSWO each' PUZZLE eyes:, "Ma thinks you are on the level," he reminded her unrelentlessly, pipe between his teeth. She flinched and lowered her head in shame. `Tears stung at the back of her eyes. hotly. "I know," she whispered. "I am awfully sorry." "Yon are afraid of something, he continued as if reasoning things out for her. "I have seen it in your eyes all• day. And just now some- thing in the paper made you catch your breath for a moment and it tore at your heart." "Does nothing escape you?" she asked him softly. He did not answer her question, just ignored her interruption. "You want to hide for some reason. All right." There was firm decision in his voice. He picked up the paper and threw it out of the car. "We lost the paper when ,Iiia asks for it, The wind got it." "Thank you," she said chokingly, and the tears spilled over the lashes this time and she did not try to stop there for a moment. He put a hand over hers gently, comfortingly. "You will tell me some time all about tt, Honey, and,, until .thttlt nss all'right, _"I"ou need a friend and I ate it. Now we will forget troubles for a while." He lifted his voice to a more cheerful note. "'Would you like to go fishing tomorrow?" "Olt, Art!" she said forcing a.. • ghost of a smile. "I'd love to go fishing. And I could kiss you for being so nice." * * He laughed and there was a bit of amusement in it. "You may have to do it sooned than you expect," and be pointer, up to the cottage as he pulled the car to a stop before the garage. "There stands the curious neighbor. 1 don't • know what story Ma has told Mrs. Riba, but we'll have to stand by it." Honey stepped out of the car and unconsciously dropped her hand in the dress pocket and felt the velvet box. Its presence had been for- gotten momentarily, and feeling it now was a distinct shock and it brought her heart right into her throat. Her mission had not been accomplished and she was reminded once again to be cautious. "Wait." She put a detaining hand on Art's aria as he started to move toward the house. "How far are we from San. Francisco?"' "About 80 miles or more, I guess. Why?" (Continued next week.) ACROSS 6 Cragg frill 2, Twitching 4. Print i;. Discern 12. East Inllan tree 13. Engine 14. Pastry, IN.

Barclay Warren GOOD NEWS IN THE BIELE Luke 2:1-14 Golden Text: Fear not; for, bes hold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. -Luke 2:10. It is a very old story; but it is still news. It is olcl news, but it is good news. For one day at least it takes the headlines from the latest murder. Its soleninn cheer seems to permeate the atmosphere of factory and home. It is solemn because sacred. The child born in Bethle- hem's manger was Immanuel, God with us. The Divine One took flesh •and was made in the likeness of men. It is cheer because it is good tidings to all men; to Jew and Gen- tile, rich and poor, high and low. He brought salvation for all. This was the child for which forty centuries had waited, When :man fell, the promise was given that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head. The sacrifices pointed to the Lamb of. God who would take away the sin of the world. The prophets foresaw Him. They joined in telling the place and time of His birth, His lineage, the manner of His Ministry. They de- picted in amazing detail His suffer- ing, death and resurrection. Now, after nineteen centudies, we look back t6 this event as the greatest of all time. We set our. calendar by it. Let us enjoy to the full the spirit ofi•Christmas. As in war opposing armies have made a truce for Christ- mas Day, so let us relax from the war of nerves. Let us praise God as the choir of angels over the hill- side and the wondering shepherds. Let us bring our homage as the wise leen from the East. The south warrnth of the Christmas Spirit can help to dispel the cold war. Sin divivdes us, but Christ unites us. He removes the divisive factor, sin, from all those who will let Him. 0 that all the peoples of the world would hear anew the song and let it reecho in their souls, "Glory to God in .the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
