CHAPTER VIII (Continued Erom 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 case 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 holy 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 shoulder, giving her the Have these on hand for frosty weather( A pair of crochet -quickies, these gloves take only TWO ounces of knitting w orsted!

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 (mow, we forgot to stop for a bite coming up," he reminded her, "I guess that is why f 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 me, Art Carey. And plenty hard, too." "Well," grinned Art as he pulled the car -to a stop before an all-night eafe, "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 magnificent tale you 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 story! 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 have made plans to marry as soots as 1 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?" 5 * * "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 housd." Honey turned to look at the house they were passing. "Yes, she has." Right after she uttered the words her heart almost stopped beating ' and a tight grip of fear caught at her throat. The car parktd in front of Mrs. Riba's was Joe Danburne's coupe. (Continued next week.)

Barclay Warren The World In Which Jesus Lived Galatians 4:4a; Luke 2:1-7;. Matthew 22:15, 16, 23a, Golden Text—When the fulness of the time was conte, God sent forth His Son.—Galatians 4:4. 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 law. Prophets foretold the plate and manner of His birth, described His ministry, Isis sufferings and His death. "But when the fulness of tiine was conte, God sent forth His Son," God is always on time. The Ro- mans controlled the, world. Tse famous roads which they built pri- marily for military and govern- mental purposes soon resounded to the marching feet of the soldiers of, Christ who went everywhere preaching the Gospel. There was free access to all lands. The language of the Greeks whose empire preceded the Roman was almost universal. The Old 'Testa- ment had been translated into Greek acid the New•Testantcut with the possible exception of Matthew was written in this most exact of all languages. It was the vehicle for the sending forth of the written word. The Jew's had lost their national independence. The nation was res- tive under the Roman yoke. A few devout souls as Simeon waited for the consolation of Israel. Many others were dissatisfied with the re- ligious formalism of their day and longed for a rich experience in God. The strict legalism of the Pharisees had become a burden too grievious 'to be borne, The Saducees, op the other (land, a group of wealthy aris- tocrats and priestly liability, had no message for the need of the people. They had rejected the authority of the Old Te h Testament except s c pts cPen- tateuch and did not believe in tate resurrection. The Herodians, very similar, contented themselves with theRoman ruleas lou asthe 1 S 'Hercule were even puppet rulers.. It was a time of great need and g yet of golden opportunity when God's Son came The lessons for these six months will tell the story of His matchless life, it is the most thrilling story ear had ever beer'' ing to be a concert artist, it isn't It never' grows old Failure At ]Christmas Tests No Bar To Trying Finals The Ilonourable Dana Porter, Minister of Education, issued a statement today with reference 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. departntetitalex- 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, tnay only be done so long as it does not result in injustice to other pupils of the school. of certain subjects, Thus a greater proportion of those competing from his school for Upper School etand- hag 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 - milted 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- . It is possible that ,there may be an incentive in some cases for prin- cipals to encourage discontinuance pretation bf 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 pointe- out in thi's letter that the printipals chief concern must be the welfare of the individual pupil. Frequently, this responsibility can beat be discharged after a frank consultation with the pupil's par- ents. • Books of Bible Listed in Rhyme J The following listing of the Books of the Bible, put into rhyme as an aid to memory, is reprinted here by request. Books of the Old Testament In Genesis, the world was made By God's Almighty hand; In Exodus, the Hebrews marched To gain the promised land. Leviticus contains the law, Holy and just and good; Numbers records the tribes.enrolled All sons of Abraham's blood. Moses in Deuteronomy Recounts God's mighty deeds; Brave Joshua, into Canaan's land • The hosts of Israel leads. In Judges, their rebellion oft Provoked the Lord to smite, But Ruth records the faith of one Well pleasing in His sight. In First and Second Samuel Of Jesse's son we read. Ten tripes, in First and Second icings Revolted from his seed. The First and Second 'Chronicles See Judah captive led, But Ezra leads a remgant back By princely Cyrus' aid. The city walls of Zion, Nehimiah builds again, 'While Esther saves her people From the plots of wicked men. In Job we read how faith can live Beneath affliction's rod, And David's Psalms t.re precious songs For every child of God. The Proverbs like a goodly string Of Choicest pearls appear; Ecclesiastes teaches men How vain are all things here. The mystic Song of Solomon Exalts sweet Sharon's rose, Whilst Christ, the Saviour and the King, The rapt Isaiah shows The warning Jeremiah The apostate Israel scorns, His plaintive Lamentations Their awful downfe ll mourns. Ezekiel tells, in wondrous words, eOf dazzling mysteries: Whilst Kings and empires yet to conic, Daniel in vision Sees. Of judgment and of mercy too, Hosea loves to tell, Joel describes the blessed days When God with man shall dwell. Among Telcoa's herdsmen Amos received his call, Whilst Obadiah prophesies Of Edom's final fall Jonah displays a wondrous type Of Christ, our risen Lord. Micah pronounces Judah lost— Lost, but again restored. Nahum declared on Nineveh Just judgments shall be poured. A view of Chaldea's coming doom, Habakkuk's visions give. And Zephaniah warns the Jews To turn, repent and live; Haggai wrote to those who saw The temple built again, And Zechariah prophesied Of Christ's triumphant reign. Malachi was the last who touched The high prophetic chord; Its final notes sublimely show The coming of the Lord. Books of the New Testament Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Tell what by Jesus was said and done; Acts both of the Apostles tell And how the Holy Spirit fell• Romans, Corinthians and Galatians Hard by Ephesians take their sta- tions; Then the Philippians hand in hand With the Colossians take their stand ByThessalonlans; each and all Claim for their author great St, Paul; Who next writes twice to Timothy, Then Titus and Philemon see; While Hebrews the last letter claims, Next comes the Epistle of St. James While Peter, John, and good St. Jude With Revelation both conclude. ®w COLDS affect Your KIDNEYS The kidneys are very delicate organs, easily affected—especially by a cold.
