CHAPTER XI (Continued from last week) "Out of circulation," she an- swered truthfully, and was glad she did not have to tell a he to a man who was about to die. "It will never tempt anyone else again." "In the ocean?" His voice was an angry croak and Honey realized that, had he been able to reach her, he probably would have choked the life from her '+ody. Even know- ing that he could not move to harm her, she still had a wild desire to push back from him. "That's as good an answer as any," she told him. He gave a rasping laugh that was ugly to hear and she covered her ears for a second to lasut • it out. Then he spoke again. "Too bad your friend Brewster couldn't know that you stole the stone from Mrs. Sylvester. I am sorry now I didn't telt him that night before I hit him civet' the head." * * "Ohl" Honey sucked in her breath painfully as she understood what had happened to Dan in the apartment. Then she said: "He knows. I told him. I went there to give him the diamond." There was pleasure in being able to admit that knowledge to Joe even in his critical condition. There was a gasp from him, both of surprise and pain. He waited to draw a deep breath and she heard him struggle hard to get it. She closed her eyes as bitter tears spilled over her lashes. Joe had a few good points that she remem- bered now as she sat there watching him -sending her beautiful flowers, spending his money freely, taking her to all the nice places of enter- tainment. And with pangs of re- morse, she recalled that she had given him nothing in return, except a few smiles. her company, and be- ing engaged to him after a fashion. She started td touch him, to add comfort to his last minutes if she could; then she jerked her hand back quickly, remembering that Joe was a dangerous man. "Are you in great pain, Joe?" she asked gently. "I am sorry, you know." An;, she was. "Pain, h----1' he hissed from be- tt<cen closed teeth, gritting back the agony from within. Honey re- coiled as if he had struck her, so filled with hatred were the words. "I'm done for and you know it. Bet you're a fool if yott think yon • can get away with double-crossing Joe Danburne." "How did you find. out I took the diamond, Joe?" By the only clue the police had." "What was it?" Her heart stood. still with fright. If Joe had guessed, the law might do the same thing. For a long time he did not say anything and Honey was beginning to wonder if he were dead, when he spoke again: with new strength in his voice. "A black button with a chip out of its side. I told you the last time .you wore that black suit to hutch - On that one of the buttons had a piece out of It. And you laughed because I noticed such a small de- fai1. You lost that button when you stole tie purse front Mrs, Syl- "ester, Honey. It pays to retnean•. boar small things when you are deal- tg lis jewels. And all the time 1 Nought you were on the level." "You won't understand, Joe, but tiers is a bag difference in my rea- I8SUE 8 -. 1949 son for taking the diamond and yours," she said simply. "I'm not a thief and never have been." She steeled herself to go on. "I never loved you. 1 had a purpose in mind when I became engaged to you - 1 wanted to get that diamond, and through you the path was opened. And so I strung along." She low- ered her voice to impart the other bit of news she wanted to tell him. "You see, Joe, I love Dan Brew- ster, and I have for a long time, but tie didn't know it." "It doesn't matter now who you love." He spoke just above a whis- per and Honey had to lean forward to catch his words. "You won't live to marry anyone." His words sounded final, as though he knew is for certain. * k Honey was out of his Iine of focus. but she shook her head in de- nial, not realizing that he could not see her. "No, I'm not going to die, Joe. I'm not even hurt. The crash shook me up a bit and knocked mise out for a few minutes. But T am all right now." She could see Art's tali figure pac- ing to and fro on the highway, impatiently waiting for a motorist to come to their aid. Joe took up his end of the conver- sation as if he had not heard her word of denial about her death. "There were two things in the world i wanted above all else be- cause I love beauty. The Sylvester diamond and you. I can't have the diamond now. You saw to that. But I can take you with me." A gur- gling sound escaped his throat. It sounded like he was choking. Tears came faster to Honey's eyes and she wrung her hands helplessly as she sat near him, watching. He struggled hard for a breath and got it. Then with great effort, he moved his body slightly. His head turned to face her and she was glad of the darkness that hid what might lie in his eyes at the moment. e 4' As they faced each other there in the darkness, a silence seemed to settle over the earth and not a sound came through the night. It was so still that Honey could hear her own heart thumping. When she thought she could stand the quiet no longer, Joe spoke. "You are very beautiful, Honey. But you are going to die," he said and there was conviction in his tone. "No, Joe. I'm all right," insisted Honey. "You're going to die," he repeated and his voice was stronger now. And then suddenly he lifted au arm and a gun swayed toward her at close range. She tried to move, but too late. There was an explosion and a spurt of fire as Joe pulled the trigged. Honey slumped over in a heap on tit. ground as. Art carne running up.

I1MAY SCIIOOL jjSSIN By Rev. R. Barclay Warren The Standards Of The Kingdom Matt. 5:1-12! 7:24-27. Golden Text: Seek ye first the kingdom of God. and his righteous- ness. -Matt, 6:33. Most people will agree that rto three successive chapters in all the Bible are as significant and. import- ant as Matthew 5-7. Here is the manifesto of the King. He said, "I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it." He did not come to fulfill the law as it had been misinter- preted and applied by the Pharisees. They had sought to keep the letter of the law and still violate its true meaning. Here Jesus restores the law to its proper meaning add -gives examples to illustrate what He means, Love is the perfect fulfill- ment of the perfect law•. • The beatitudes with )which ithe manifesto opens affirm that those who follow God's plan are happy. The Greek word translated "bless- ed" is in some versions translated "happy." From the time an indi- vidual begins to turn away fi•.om sin to God, he receives a measure -of .:ihappiness. This happiness•ipet'eases slid is- characteristic of the Christi .. Bali's life, sustaining slim e"? t,.ealsi:is• reviled and falsely accused. The sermon closes with a parable. The person who hears and does the sayings of Jesus is compared to a man who built his house upon a rock. The house withstands the storax. -But the one wino hears. and fails to' do the sayings of Jesus is like the man who buiWon sand. The house 'collapses in the :Storni, Know- ing the teaching of Jesus is not suffi- cient. We must obey] lie 'who takes the way or the Kingdom is freed from worry. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added tanto you." "These ' things" are those of which you have need. Among the other precious gents of truth in this sermon on the mount is the golden rule, "Therefore all things whatscever ye would that oxen should do to you, de ye even so to them."
