"I ant still sorry." and she meant every ward of it. She felt -1,e could never forgive herself if •anmething happened to him because he be- friended her. "I ant glad." and !mi, voice sounded eager. He slowed the car down, for driv- ing was much too hazardous for such speed in the soupy weather they were encountering along the way. Neither spoke for some min- utes. Every nerve in Honey's body was on edge and she kept saying to herself: "Please don't let anything happen to me until after 1 see Dan!" Art's voice carte low as if he feared he might be heard by the man behind thein. "\Vatch for the next highway marker -and tell me the minute we pass it, Then I will know just where 1 ata. There is a chance we may be able 'to shake Mr. Dan- burne, "If only we could," she breathed prayerfully. She wiped the tear mist from her eyes so she could see clearly and turned her head to keep a close vigil for the sign. But she never had a real opportunity to look for it. As if divining their intentions, the car behind shot around suddenly and slowed abruptly in front of then, Too -late, Art realized Joe's aim. There was a terrific crash as the two cars came together. Honey was engulfed in blackness. CHAPTER XI' "Vou.littie fool! Vou little fool!" Honey heard the voice repeating the words over and over is a mono- tone and it was like the beat of a tont-tom, hammering away at her brain, recalling her to the conscious world. She did not need to open imer eyes and look to know that it was Joe who spoke. Though he had never heard hum use quite that tone of speech before. it was defin- itely Joe Danburue berating her. She kept quiet and waited, her heart beating a tattoo against her ribs. Maybe the would think she was dead, she thought hopefully; , and go away. But he didn't, He seemed bent on expounding Ids opinion of her, regardless of whe- ther she was dead or alive. "Vou fooll" he went on relent- lessly- "You cheap, little double- crosser." * * 0 Finally. Honey could stand the cramped position she was lying in no longer, or the irritation of the words that flowed on and on, upset- ting her nerves. She moved her body slightly and discovered that site was on the hard ground. She opened her eyes to the darkness that enveloped the earth and moved her head to look around, expecting to see Joe hovering over her, ready to kill her at the first sign of life, To her amazement, joe's long foram wan stretched on the ground near her. He was not moving. Only a voice issued from his still body. She shivered in the cold as she remem- bered the crash of the two cars. But before she could give it much thought, she heard footsteps and saw Art coming forward to kneel by her side. He touched her gently on the arm, "Are you hurt, Honey?" he asked solicitously, seeing that she was conscious. "I think I'm all right," she whis- pered, moving each limb separately to see If any bones were broken. There was no pain and everything seemed intact. "Nothing wrong. And you?" "Just a scratch on the head," he told imer, dismissing it as nothing. "What about Joe?" she lifted her hand to point to Danburue. "Is he hurt? He lies so still." "Very badly," he told her in low tones and his voice implied more than his words. "1 think it's in- ternal. He wants to talk with you, I believe. At least, he's been talk- ' ing at you for some time. Some- thing is really on lois mind." He started to rise. "VII go watch for someone to conte along and pick us up. We've got to get hint to a hos- pital and both cars are ruined," He left them alone. Honey sat up, feeling a bit dizzy ' at first from her recent shakeup. In a moment. however, her head cl ared and she felt all right. "Joe?" she called softly and crawled a little closer to the still form, "foe—how do you feel?" "Honey—you fool!" His voice reached out to slap her, "Were you trying to double-cross Mme? You took the diamond from Mrs, Syl- vester. What did you do with it? 'Where. is it now?" (Continued next week) 'Ross' / a o iPUZZLE RD AC1108*3 8. Arliebn or 1. Nuts s. Parrot O. Insult d2.

When the wedding iiwitatiotls have been sent out and there is a sudden death in one of the families, should the Wedding be postponed? A, Not necessarily, although usually, if an elaborate wedding has been planned, the arrangements are changed to a quiet wedding, recall- ing all invitations except those to members of the immediate families. 0, When setting a table, should the prongs of the forks point up- ward or downward? A. They should always point upward. , Q, What should one do if he gets food in his mouth that is too hot to swallow? A. Get the food down somehow, and then take a swallow of water. Never, under any circumstances, take water while you have food in your mouth, Q. When a person is making an introduction, should he add a word or two of comment?

Politeness As the eulmfnatiug extravagance of a wonderful honeymoon, the young husband rented a sailboat for an all -day cruise on the bay. While he put a firm hand on the tiller, he put his wife to tending the sheet. Everything went well until a sudden puff of wind appeared. "Let go the sheet!" Ire ordered brusquely. But his wife held tight and stared straight ahead. "Let go that sheet!" he shouted again, al- though by that time it was too late. "Why didn't you let go the sheet when I told you to, dear?" he ask- ed as they clung to the upturned bottom of the boat. "I would have if you hadn't shouted so," she sobbed. "You ought to speak more kindly to your wife Conscience: The timing which hurts when everything else feels good. Early Medicine It was the full of the moor'. Stea Ithily, the savage crept through tite matted jungle to a 'clearing where the dead Mint lay. A. once• mighty warrior, he reposed in cert. entoniul solitude. A strange green, mold, created of !teat and moisture and decaying human flesh, spread over the dead man's skull and fore- head. !tastily the mold was scraped oft and carried by the panting native runner to a but where another tan lay dying, pierced by poisoned spears, At his side, in full regalia, was the tribal Medicine Matt, Thin amateur healer smeared the mold into the gaping wounds on the (1Y- ing man's forehead, The patient recovered, and tite Medicine Man was honored throughout the tribe. Mold of different origins and un- der different names now serves modern medicine, . All the world knows or the amazing powers of Penicillin and Tyrothricin. For through modern research, mold., fungus and strange bacterial growths have thus developed, from the crude forms once used by the savage in superstitious ignorance.
