CHAPTER VIII
(Continued from last week)
She took the diamond into the
palm of her hand for a minute,
cradling it lovingly and admired it.
Though she could not see. its radi-
ance in the darkness, just the touch
of it was all she desired. Then she
put it back in the dainty box and
closed the lid.
Carefully, she placed the velvet
ease at the bottom of the hole. A
tear or two fell on the top of it,
dampening the soft velvet; not tears
of regret but happy ones. Then
gently she pushed the earth back
into place, patting it firmly with
her bare hands and spreading the
grass over the place in the shadow
of the stone marker. She left no
telltale mark that the ground had
been disturbed, and there were no
witnesses among the sleeping to
give her away. The Sylvester dia-
mond lay concealed beneath the sod,
its secret kept by those still forms
who shared the earth with it.
* *
Honey rose unsteadily to her feet
and stumbled blindly toward the
gates. The walk back seemed end-
less, for she was tired and exhausted
from lack of sleep and the cloak of
sadness hung closely about her
shoulders,; Weighing her down. She
had no idea how long she had been
gone, but when she reached the wall
where she had climbed over, there
stood Art, his hat in his hand, wait-
ing for her.
"Thanks, Art," she sighed wear-
ily and fell against him for lack of
strength to stand up.
He put a protecting arm about
her shoulders, giving her the

strength that she needed so badly
at the moment. '
"Forget it, Honey. I ani glad I
could do something for you." He
lifted her to the top of the wall and
scrambled up after her. "I bought
some sandwiches while I _ waited.
We can eat them on the way back.
There's a cherry pie, too You
know, we forgot to stop for a bite
corning up," he reminded her.
"I guess that is why I feel so
faint," she said as they drove off.
• "I feel all caved in."
Honey knew that Art must be
• wondering why she had gone to the
old cemetery at night; but when he
didn't mention the subject a flood
of relief swept over her.
Art said suddenly with a crooked
twist to his mouth: "If I weren't
already engaged to the sweetest lit-
tle girl in the world I would fall in
love with you, Honey Monroe:"
* * *
"And," countered Honey with a
bit of coquetry in her manner, "if
the grandest man in the world did
not love me and I didn't love him
I'd do my best to see that you did
fall for nue, Art Carey. And plenty.
hard, too."
"Well," grinned Art as he pulled
the car to a stop before an all-night
cafe, "the way I see it, then, we
will just have to be the best of
friends."
"I guess you're right." She 'got
out of the car and was glad to
stretch her tired body. "You can
always remember me as a funny
fish you pulled out of the water."
She laughted deep in her throat at
an amused thought which crossed.
her .mind at that moment. "Just
think of the manifieent tale ydta
can tell- them back home about
catching a mermaid in the ocean."
"That's an idea," he exclaimed
heartily as they sat down at the
counter and ordered coffee. Then:
"One that breathed, talked and
walked. What a storyl With red -
hair and beautiful ... "
* ' * *
When they were on their way
once more, Honey turned to him
with deep interest glowing in her
eyes.
"Tell me, Art -is the girl of your
dreams back home?"
"Yes, she is." At once he was
inspired for further detail of the
girl he loved. "She has black curly
hair and a funny turned -up nose
with little freckles across the
bridge of it. She teaches school -
second grade. We haveamade plans
to marry as soon as I get back."
"Then that's why you are so anx-
ious to get home," summed up
Honey. "I'll bet she is counting the
days, too,"
He glanced at her. "What about
you?"
"There wasn't time for plans,"
she told him sadly. "Things hap-
pened so quickly after we found
out about our love, that, well ..."
She just left the sentence hanging
in midair for him to draw .his own
conclusions.
When they turned off the main
highway and headed for home, Art
remarked in surprise:
"Looks like Mrs. Riba has com-
pany. There's a big car parked in
front of her house."
Honey turned to look at the
house they were passing.
"Yes, she has."
Rifht after she uttered the words
her heart almos4 stopped beating
and a tight grip of fear caught at
her throat. The car lair", '1 of
of Mrs. Riba".: was Joe 1')au'burne's
coupe.

Social Rules
* MY ANSWER is simple.
* ' You have asked for ostracism,
* because you have followed a be-
* havior pattern which is not con-
* doned by the majority, who, after
* all, set the rules of social living.
* It makes no difference whether
* the rules are, in, your thinking,
* right or wrong. You both have
* offended those rules, and you must
* suffer the consequences you have
* invited.
* I expect you feel you are being
* very modern in your defiant stand.
* The truth is, you two are playing
* at marriage, refusing to accept its
* obligation to carry out the vows
* you made. As there is nee such
* thing as free love, so there is No
* free marriage: All you are doing
* is to Shock everybody who consi-
* dersrinart°iage a sacred respon-
* sibility.
* ;Either disregard this ostracism
* that annoys you, or behave like a
* serious couple who revere the
* standards which the civilized
* world has established.

Golden Text -When the fulness

The promise was given to our
first parents that the seed of the
woman would bruise the serpent's
head. But the promised seed was
not given for four thousand 'years.
Meanwhile He was prefigured in
type by sacrifices and shadows of
the lam, Prophets foretold the place
and manner of His birth, described
His ministry, His sufferings and
His •death. "But when the fulness
of time was come, God sent forth
His Son."
God is always on time; `""The Ro-

The language of the Greeks whose

the consolation of Israel. Many
others were dissatisfied with the re-

longed' for a rich experience in God.

Failure
At Christmas Tests
No Bar
To Trying Finals
The Honourable Dana -Porter,
Minister of Education, issued a
statement today with feferenee to
examinations in the secondary
schools.
The Principals of secondary
schools have great responsibilities in
fixing the programme of studies to
be undertaken by the pupils. This
is particularly so for those enrolled
in Grade XIII. Frequently, secon-
dary school principals advise pupils
to discontinue certain subjects as
the result of their'failure to pass the
Christmas tests. The Minister
points out that, in spite of this ad-
vice, no candidate can be prevented
from writing the departmental ex-
aminations. No failure on Christ-
mas test. in Grade XIII denies the
pupil the right to compete for Up-
per School standing. Thus, if the
pupil and his parents are deter-
mined to ignore the principal's ad-
vice to discontinue certain subjects,
the principal still has the responsi-
bility of doing the best he can for
the'pupil. This, however, may only
be done so long as it does not result
in injustice to other pupils of the
school.
It is- possible that. there may rie
an incentive, in some eases for prin-
cipals to encourage discontinuance
of certain subjects, Thus a greater
proportion of those competing front
his school for Upper School stand-
ing will be successful in the. exam-
inations. In order to counteract this
possible tendency,. a change is being
made in one of the forms to be sub-
mitted by secondary school princi-
pals to the Department of Educa-
tion. This form will indicate the
number of pupils in Grade XIII
who have discontinued subjects dur-
ing the academic year. 'This record•
is of great significance in' the inter-
pretation of the examination record
of the school.
The Minister has is.ued a letter
to the Principals of Secondary
Schools to clarify their responsibil-
ities in this whole matter. The Min-
ister points out in this letter that
the principals chief co lcern must
be the welfare of the individual:
pupil, Frequently, this responsibility
can best be discharged after a frank
consultation with the.. pupil's par-
ents.
