Rita, CHAPTER IX (Continued from last week) She nodded and turned back to her fishing. Maybe fate had led her to this place, she mused, to find. Art. Perhaps he was the help she needed. If she were arrested, a good law- yer would be a necessity. "Do we have to go over for din: ner at Mrs. Riba's?" she finally asked, hoping that he would answer M the negative. "I am afraid moo. Especially, since it is for you. Don't you avant to go, Honey? She is a swell cook." "So soon?" He removed his pipe and knocked out the dead ashes. Then he refilled it. "You know, Honey, you are not the type of per- son to run from trouble. And what- ever is on your mind is sure get- ting the best of you." "How do yoth know so much?" she demanded rather shortly, irri- tated that he could read her so well. "You haven't known me very long." There was a tinge of anger to her words. He kept on, ignoring her sharp thrust that he should be meddling in her affairs. "When you forget the boogie -bear now and then, your eyes dance with life and you smile and your hand is steady," he ex- plained effortlessly. "Then it creeps -upon you, and fear lurks in your eyes and you are jumpy, as if you were dreadfully afraid of something -like a man who has been threat- ened with death and expects to be knifed in the back at any moment." She shuddered at how well he analyzed her case. • "You sound like a doctor," she told him, anger leaving her. Then quite deliberately, she lifted her head and looked straight into his eyes. "I am afraid, Art. Afraid I shall be killed by a man." "Killed?" The look he gave her at first was one of disbelief. Slowly, it gave way to a deeper feeling of horror as he realized that she spoke the truth. He was stirred as she thatlght he 'could not be. ,He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, she implored: "Please don't say anything now, Art. Don't asst me questions. I can't talk, yet -and I don't want to lie to you." "But, Honey, if you are in great danger-" "Please, Art, let's not talk of it. I merely told you because you guessed so closely to the truth. But it is my battle for a little while longer. I don't want to bring grief to another." The joy of fishing was gone, but they lingered at it - until late. Whes they ` returned to the house, Mrs. Mrs. told them that M s. Riba had been over to say that her brother was not feeling well and the dinner was off. Honey smiled with instant. relief and sat down in the nearest chair. ' "She asked me again," remarked Mrs. Carey and she seemed a bit put out "if your first name- was Honey and where you were from. I made up a town, my dear. She was very curious about getting your exact description." Honey dropped her lashes over her eyes to - hide what might be there and got up and walked to the window. Joe must suspect from what little his sister had revealed to him, she thought quickly, other- wise, Mrs. Riba would not have been so precise With details. Art was saying to his mother: "Don't tell er anything. She is too snoopy to suit me." "I don't intend tor 'replied his mother and- threw up her head. "She acted like she didn't believe me when I said I had known you a long time." Honey turned and smiled at her hostess and there was a wistfulness about her pretty mouth. "It doesn't matter, Mrs. Carey. I'm sorry to have bothered you. I am leaving tomorrow." "Oh, but my dear-" said Mrs. Carey hastily. "You shouldn't. You must rest a bit more." "Never mind, Ma," interrupted Art. "I'm driving her to Los An- geles, myself. She has business there. Besides, I can see the city before I go back hone." Honey's, eyes thanked him si- lently, Mrs. Carey turned smilingly to- ward her kitchen, "Well, one person hasn't a chance in an argument against two." "Especially when one is a law- yer," Art added, grinning, and fol- lowed her out of the room. Left alone for a few minutes, Honey was inclined to' try to form- ulate some definite plans in her mind for her future course. But her thoughts kept reverting back to Joe, wondering if he would make any , moves to find out about the guest in the Carey household. - "I trust leave very early in the morning," she decided. "Get away from here before he is up. .1'11 take my chances and try to sec Dan as soon as I get there." With dinner over, Honey 'found herself sitting in the living room, listening to a funny experience that Mrs. Carey was telling, about the time she went to Europe, and she was laughing harder than Art, for her hostess was a good story -teller. Suddenly her laugh broke off in mid-air and she turned deathly pale. But she recovered herself so quickly that the spell was over be- fore either of her new friends de- tected it. She continued to smile, but her eyes watched the front win- dow from under lowered lashes and her hands were like chunks of ice in Iter lap.

Preparatory Ministry of John Matthew 3:4-17. Golden Text: = Repent ye:' for the kingdomofheaven is at hand. --Matt. 3:2. Before Jesus entered upon his ministry a great and picturesque man prepared his way. -John, whose mother was a cousin of Mary, was a few months older than Jesus. He came into the region of the Jordon preaching and baptizing. He was unique. Clothed in earners hair, supported by a leather girdle, his food was wild honey .and a species of insects similar to grasshoppers. He came in the spirit and power of Elijah, Great throngs went out from Jer- usalem, and the surrounding areas to hear him. His preaching was as rugged as his appearance. "Repent ye, for the kingdom of heavenis at hand," he cried, Nor was he content with a form of repentance. "Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance," he demanded of the leading religionists of his day, warn- ing that theaxe was standing by the tree in readiness to hew down that one that bore no fruit. Neither dare they take refuge in the fact that they were Abraham's descen- dents.' for, said he, "God is able. of these stones to raise- up children unto Abraham." John was"Da fearless preacher and he had results, "Perhaps we of this day are too -delicate, too careful not to offend. Imagine us saying "0 generation of snakes." The highlight of John's preach- ing was the announcement that a greater person was coming; so great that John was not worthy to Carry his shoes. He would baptize with the Holy Spirit. It ,was a memorable day when this great One, Jesus Christ, appeared where.. Jahn here - Jahn was preaching. John at first declined to baptize Jesus for 'He had no sins to confess. However, Jesus' desired ht. ` The opened heavens and the descending Spirit confirmed to John that this was, indeed, God's Son. A great tribute to the effective- ness of John's ministry was the facl that his own disciples on seeing'. Jesus followed Him. He had sue, cessfully pointed out bhe Lamb of God. So should we be all our lives; not exalting self but lifting ' up ..---Christ our Savior.
