CHAPTER A
Conth,oe,1 from last

Then he !hued his eye: to the rears

"The car is kr'(•piug up," az in-
formed her. and his tone leis no
doubt but i',.tt the motorist !,eiind
therm (r a, trailing intentiuually.
"It is foe then. ' I'lu terribly
sorry to `•.lar; involved you is Ellis
affair, :Art, There is Mora '8 it
thanyou can guess."
"A little excitement is •ooa for
toe, Holten. I haven't had any in
nearly two years."
"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?"

Modern Etiquette
by Roberta • Lee
Q. 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?
' A, Yes; if the comment he makes
will enable the two persons to -be-
gin as friendly conversation, he
should not noes the opportunity to

Any man who doesn't try, intel-
ligently, to keep his wife happy
doesn't deserve a good wife.
Sometimes he only needs a hint
to change, Anne Hirst has given
that hint to many a careless hus-
band. Write her at Box 1, 123

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

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.
Tribute
While rehearsing Beethoven's
Ninth Symphony, the musicians re-
sponded with a particular seusitiv'
i(Y to Toscanini s every wish and.
desire, What resulted was a per.
formance that moved the rites, of
the orchestra to a spontaneous ova-
tion, They rose 'to their feet and
cheered the little man who bad just
given them such a new and wonder-
ful insight into the music, Desper-
ately, Toscanini tried to stop theta,
waving his arms wildly, shouting
to them. Finally, when tint ovation
subsided, he said in a broken voice:,
"It isn't ole, amen—it's Beethoven!"
