A sob caught in her. throat and she swallowed hard. "It is all - tny 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: * 8 * "Honey, Honey -you did it! You are a very brave girl and I am proud of you. I knew you wouldn't fail me. And now you have made me happy again and I can rest in peace." Honey answered back in a low murmur: "Yes, 1 got it. I kept my promise." And there was elation and pride in her 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 knew the words by memory; she had composed them 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 came 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 her body, until she could see back of her. Then she wheeled violently about to face her foe: * * * "ivleow" 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. Site 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, site sat back on her heels and took the jewel box from her pocket, She opened it and placed her soft lips against the cool, hard surface of the stone for a second. "You are home at last," 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,) CROSSWORD PUZZLE 3,•giect 31, Grow eon.poa- 9, hick sionate • 'P a thing 14. Fire worshiper 1L. Replants 35.

JINDAYSCHOOL LEssO Sources Of Our Knowledge Of Jesus Luke 1:1-4; John 20:30-31; 21:25; I Corinthians 15:3-5; I John Golden Text -But these are writ ten, that ye might believe that Jesus • is the Christ, the Son of God; attd that believing ye might have life through His name. -I John 20:11. In studying the life of any figure in history it is important to be as- sured of the reliability, of the sources of information, .Tlte sources con- cerning the life and times of Jesus are the Gospels and a few references in the Epistles. Matthew and John as apostles Were eye -witnesses of the events which they record. It is believed that Mark gained much of his information from his uncle Peter who also was an apostle and an eye- witness. Luke, the physician, be- came a follower after the events of the life of Christ had taken place but he went back to original sources for his information. He journeyed with Paul to whom Jesus appeared on the way to Damascus. These men - did not assume to relate all that was known of Jesus, John says, "There are also many other things which Jesus did." The writings of these then con- cerning Jesus were received by the early church of which many had also been eye -witnesses, Copies of the manuscripts were made 'and distributed throughout the church m the succeeding centuries. They were called "Holy Scriptures" or "Holy Writings," not only because they were believed to be true but also because they were held to be written , under Divine inspiration. A titled gentleman of the last cen- book proving that Jesus was an imposter. .I3e examined the sources. In reading them he became changed. He not only believed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God, but he received life, eternal life, through His name. We challenge the un- believer to thoughtfully read the story of Jesus as recorded in .the Gospels.. How Can I? by Anne Ashley Q. I•Iow can I clean and whiten piano keys? , A. Try rubbing the juice of a lemon oval the keys. Q, How can I prevent the form; ation of icing, or turning back to • sugar, when snaking syrup? A. When the syrup is coming to a boil, add one-third teaspoon cream of tartar to every two cups of sugar used, and this trouble will . be avoided. . Q. How can I prevent the bottom crust of a fruit pie from becoming soggy ftom the juice? A. By brushing the bottom crust with the white of an egg before the fruit is added. • Q. FIow can I decorate a plain flower pot to snake it more attrac- tive? A. Wrap the pot with crepe paper, but before doing this, cover the pot with about two thicknesses of oiled paper; this will prevent discolored marks from water that may overflow. - Q. What is a good home remedy for a throbbing headache? A. A throbbing ht 21d'athe is often relieved by drinking the juice of half a lemon in fresh' water. Follow with the other half in about thirty ' minutes. Also rub sliced lemon over the temples and brow, Q, How can I treat wet shoes t0 :prevent them from cracking? A, Stuff the :hoes tightly with paper, then lei them dry vary. slowly. ' A Prince Of The Realm Is Christened. --With Iter son, Prince Charles Arthur George, the Princess Elizabeth poses for photo- graphers immediately following the christening ceremonies in Buckingham Palace. The Heck Of It The late loin Earrymore was out strolling with a fellow actor when they passed the Lambs Club, They noticed the flag stood at half-mast. Barryntore's companion turned to go into the club, - Barrytnore laid a stand on his arm 'and said, "Where are you going?" "In4ide to find out who's dead," was the reply, "It'd not worth tate trouble," said Barryme,re. "You'll be disappoint.' ed: it's never the right one." The Black Book A wise clergyman kept on his desk a notebook labeled "Com- plaints." When one of his people began to criticize another's doings,' he would say, "I'll just write it down so I can take it up with the board," The sight of the complaint book and the ready pen had its effect. The clergyman kept the book for forty years, opened it hundreds of times, and never had occasion to write a line in it.
