CHAPTER VIII
(Continued from 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 t'•e dainty box and
closed the lid.
Carefully, s . ,aced the velvet
case at the bottom of the hole. A
tear or two fel ;tit the top of it,
dampening the soft velvet; not tears
of regret but happy ones. Then
gently she pushed the earth back
into place, patt:n3 it firmly with
her bare hands and spreading the
grass over the pia,: 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 beneat he sod,
its secret kept by those sr( 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 Itow long she had been
gone, but when site reached the wall
where she had climbed over, there
stood Art, bis 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 shoulders, giving her the

strength that she needed so badly
at the moment.
"Forget it, Honey. I an glad I
could do something for you." 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
know, we -forgot to stop for a bite
coming up," he reminded her.
"I guess that is why I 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, Horsey Monroe:"
* *
"And," countered Honey with a
bit of coquetry in her manner, "11
the grandest man in the world did
not love me and I didn't love him
I'd do my best to eee 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 ,
cafe, "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. "Duet
think of the magnificent tale yon
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 gloating 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 soon .as I get back."
"Then that's why you are so anx-
ious to get home," sunlined up
Honey. 'I'll bet she is counting the
days, too."
He glanced at her. "What about
you?"
"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 ntaia
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 house."
Roney turned to look at the
house they were passing.
"Yes, she has."
Right after she uttered the words
her heart almost stopped heating
and a. tight grip of fear caught at
her. throat, The car parktd ill molt
of Mrs. Riba's was Joe Danburne'e
coupe.

Social Rules
* MY ANSWER is simple,
+ You have asked for ostracism,
* because you have followed a be-
* havior pattern which is not con-
* doned by the majority, who, after
* all, set the rules of social living,
* It makes no difference whether
* the rules are, in your thinking,
* right or wrong. You both have
* offended those rules, and you must
* suffer the consequences you have
* invited,
* I expect you feel you are being
*/Very modern in your defiant stand,
* The truth is, you two are playing
* at marriage, refusing to accept its
* obligation to carry out the vows
* you made. As there is no such
* thing as free love, so there is no
* free marriage. All you are doing
* is to shock everybody who consi-
* dere marriage a sacred respon
* sibility.
* Either disregard this ostracism
* that annoys you, or behave like a
* serious couple who revere the
* standards which the civilized
* world has established,

UNiAY SCIIOOI,
LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
The World In Which
Jesus Lived
Galatians 4:4a; Luke 2:1-7;
Matthew 22:15, 16, 238.
Golden Text -When the fulness
of the time was Come, 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 place
and manner of His birth, described
His ministry, His sufferings and
His death. "But when the fulness
of time was come, God sent forth
His Son."
God is always on time. The Ro-
mans controlled the world. The
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 and the New Testament 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 Jews 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 grieviout
to be borne, The Saducees, on the
other hand, a group of wealthy aris-
tocrats and priestly nobility, had no
message for the need of the people.
They had rejected the authority of
the Old Testament except the Pen-
tateuch and did not believe in the
resurrection. The Herodiane, very
similar, contented themselves with
the Roman rule as long as the
lerods were even puppet rulers.
It was a time of great need and'
yet of golden opportunity when
God's Son came, The lessons for
these six months will tell the story
of Hle matchless life, It Is the most
thrilling story ear had ever heard.
It never grows old.
Failure. At Christmas Tests
No Bar To Trying Finals
The Honourable Dna 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 enrblled
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 departmental, ex-
aminations. No failure on Christ-
mas teat in Grade 'XIII deities 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, may only
be done so long as it does not result
in injustice to other pupils of the
school.
It is possible that there may be
an ificentive in some cases for prin-
cipals to encourage discontinuance
of certain subjects. Thus a greater
proportion of those competing from
his school for iJpper School stand-
ing avill be successful in the exam-
inations; In order to counteract tide
possible tendency,'a change is being
made in one of the forms to be sub-
mitted 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-
pretation of the examination record'
of the school
The Minister has is..ued a, letter
to the 5Principals of Secondary
Schools to 'clarify their responsibil-
ities its this whole matter.' The Min-
ister points out in this leiter that
the principals chief cn..cern must
be the welfare of` the individual
pupil. Frequently, this responsibility
can best be discharged after a frank
consultation with the pupil's par -
stirs,
