"Dan, Dan, me darling-" she whispered softly to inrself, her lips moving silent!y to form his name, 'please live. my dearest. Please get well and keep on loving me. Don't let all this !sake any difference to you. I am not a thief. You will see when I explain it all. I didn't have time last night to tell you. Oh, Dan! 1 love you so and I want to come to you -hut I am afraid." She stumbled but quickly re- gained her balance and went on. "Wonder what Joe did to you? Bright news for midwinter living!

Print plainly PATTERN' NUMBER, your NAME en4 ADDRESS. He wouldn't fight fair, or he clever would have had .a chance with you. Joe never takes an unnecessary . risk." A sob caught in her throat and she swallowed hard. "It is all my fault," she thought contritely. "I am the one to blame for you being in the hospital hurt. I should not have carried my trouble to you," She paused to listen suddenly and it seemed that the silence of the resting place . was broken by the whispers of one who lay there. Honey's ear seemed to catch a soft, sweet tone and it kept saying triumphantly: "Honey, Honey -you did it! You are a very brave girl and I aril proud of you. I knew you wouldn't fail me. And now you have made me happy again and I can rest in peace." e * * Honey answered back in a low murmur: "Yes. I got it. I kept rrty promise," And there was elation and pride in het- reply to the un- seen voice. At last she came to the spot she was looking for, recognizing it by the tall, thin marker. She touched the small, carved wings at the top of the stone and let her hand slide along its contour, lovingly, as if she were caressing some one she loved very dearly. Then she knelt down quickly before the gray slab of granite whose inscription she could not read in the darkness, but she kne'ty the words by memory; she had composed then! herself. She lifted up her face to the foggy heavens above her and her lips moved in a little prayer, but the words were so low and deep in her throat that only -a whisper escaped through her lips. As she finished, there was a slight noise be- hind her, like a stealthy step. Her heart ' cane • right - into her throat and the blood in her veins ran cold. Ever so slowly she moved her head by using everY ounce of courage she had in lliere,body, until she could see back of her. Then she wheeled violently about to face her foe. "Meow" said a little kitten at her heels and rubbed up against her leg. Honey choked back the hysterical sob that rose to her lips and put a hand over her quivering heart. She waited and in a moment she was calm again and the little black kit- ten walked slowly off. She turned back to the grave and started digging with the tool Art had given her. It was not a big -cavity that she dug -just a place about 4 inches by 6. Satisfied, she sat back on her heels and took the jewel box from her pocket. . She opened it and placed hely .soft lips against the cool, hard surface of the stone for a second. "You . are horse at test," she breathed against it. She moved it up against her tear -wet- cheek. "Make her happy. You will never be dis- turbed and she can sleep in peace, too." (Continued next week,) sD� , a`T§,jSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1, Street urchin 6.
