The Story Thus Far; Honey Monroe takes
the Sylvester Diamond from the handbag
of a woman in a Los Angeles department
More, and in an effort to keep Joe Dan-
burne, profes;2onal thief with whom she
is associated, from taking it from her,
she goes to Dan Brewster, state's attorne'.
She and Dan are in love and she intends
to Justify her posesss:on of the stone but
has no chance, being forced to escape
from Dan's apartment when Joe calls
there. The plane she boards for San
Frf.neisco crashes in the fog and she
is reecued by Art Carey, young lawyer
who lives with his mother near the scene.
Her fictitious name, Honey Roe. is dis-
covered by Art but he agrees to keep
hei4secret. He takes her to a cemetery
near San Francisco, at her request, and
there she buries he diamond. Returning
to the Carey house, Honey sees Joe Dan-
burne's coupe parked in front of the
house of a neighbor, Mrs. Riba. The
next night she sees 1oe peering at her
through the front window.
CHAPTER X
Joe Danburne's dark and hand-
some face was plainly framed in the
big glass window that Honey faced
as she sat there in the cozy living
room. Astonishment was written
all over his countenance, mingled
with relief as he saw her. But then,
instantly, his face was masked by
cruelty and passion as he looked
through the window. Icy shivers
ran up and down Honey's spine. She
did not want hila to know that
she had seen him, or that she knew
he was anywhere around. Ignor-
ance on her part might postpone
the showdown that would surely
come when he knew his presence
was discovered.
• So she sat there, trying to act
highly interested. in Mrs. Carey's
tale, which was no longer funny to
her. Blood rushed through her
veins at double quick time, and her
temples pounded like sledgeham-
mers. She expected almost momen-
tarily to see Joe lift a hand and
fire, gun at" her'point blank, so
enraged were his eyes for a while;
they were black with cold fury.
Then slowly as she watched out
the corner of her eyes she saw a
slow wicked gleam cross his face.
She knew without a doubt that
plans that included her were form-
ing in his mind.
After minutes of staring through
the window, which seemed hours to
Honey as she went through mental
and physical agony, Joe turned and
disappeared into the blackness. She
forced herself to sit calmly and wait
until she was certain that he was
no longer watching, then she stood.
'trembling violently.
"You have a chill, child," ex-
claimed Mrs. Carey in amazement.
"My dear, you are ill."
"1 — I must leave. Now 1" she
gasped in hoarse whispers. There
was no denying the haste in • her
tone, nor the frantic appeal in the

eyes that she lifted pleadingly to
Art. "Please."
"I'll take you," Art spoke quickly.
But as he walked to the window
his steps were slow as if nothing
were wrong. He pulled down the .
shade. After that his movements
were rapid. He hurried to Honey's
side. "Somebody was looking in at
the window?" he asked.
She nodded her head.
"Yes," she told him, trying hard
to bring calmness back into her
excited voice. "I must get away
quickly. 011, please—I can't wait
another minute, it might already
be too late."
* * *
Art turned without a word and
went out the back door. He re- -.
turned almost instantly.
"There is no one around
We'll leave at once."
Mrs. Carey stood •wide-eyed and
sal'' nothing until Honey was ready
to go. Then she put motherly arms
about her and kissed her affec-
tionately and there were tears in
the older woman's eyes.
"I am sorry, my dear, that you
have to go." Sincere regret was in
her voice and matched the senti-
ment in her eyes. "I am sure it
must be urgent or you would stay
until morning. I shall worry about
you."
Honey returned t h e embrace
warmly: She had become very at-
tached to the Careys in the short
time she had been in their home
and she hated to part from them.
* *
"Thank you for being so kind to
me, Mrs. Care's=. I shall nertver for-
get it. I do have to go, though. You
will understand some day. And
please do not worry. I shall be all
right."
Honey and Art crept silently out
of the house and only the noise of
the motor as it was started told of
their departure.
Miles flew by quickly and silence
seemed to be the best companion
for a long time. Art gave his atten-
tion to the task of keeping on the
foggy highway. He did not even
take time out for lighting up his
faithful pipe.

Relativity
Question: If an automobile is
going fifty miles an hour and there
is an insect inside that` can fly at
five miles an hour ,how fast is it
going if it flies from the back to
the front of the car? Answer: This
depends upon your frame of re-
ference. To an observer on the
ground, the insect's speed would be
the speed of the car plus that of
the insect, or fifty-five miles an
hour. If it flew from front to back,
it would be the difference between
the two speeds, or forty-five miles
an hour. However, relative to the
car itself and to an observer in it,
the insect's speed would be just
five miles per hour.

Would you like some nice, fresh
string beans straight from the gard-
en? All right then, better drop in
some day and have dinner with us
and that is just what you will get.
Come to think of it, you had better
let us know over night when you are
coming so I can get a carton from
the locker. Yes, I admit that is
where the beans are stored — and
are they ever gpod! Do you re-
member, away back in August, we
were experimenting with green
string beans? According to my
frozen -food cook book, beans for
the locker should be scalded,
bleached and then packed in weak
brine. After doing several cartons
that way someone told me, tlr4't.ie
only purpose of the scalding and
brine -packing :method was to pre-
serve the colour — actually the
beans would keep just as well if put
in plain.
answered — "You managed pretty
well without it for about twenty
years."
Having got thus far I had to stop
there was business to see to
down town. Last night I got
everything ready — bank book,
shopping list and application form
filled in for niy driver's permit. Then
I got my nice new purse that was
sent to ine from England — and
there I was, already to go. I went
to the Post Office and then to the
bank and in each case had occa-
sion to use only a little small
change. The drugstore was my next
port of call. What I bought came
to nearly two dollars. I fumbled
around in my purse for my wallet
— and it just wasn't there!
Every woman knows how hard it
is to get used to a new purse so I
thought it being a little awkward I
must have taken out the wallet
while hunting for something else
Well, I am always ready to try an
easier way of doing things, so after
that Cicely and I picked our beans,
washed them, cut them diagonally
into small pieces and packed the
cartons just as tight as we could
get them. Result 4•- a pint of beans
for two cents —Zile price of quick
freezing. Not oi'l'y that but they
were produce from the garden that
would otherwise' lave been wasted.
You know how ifils with beans — '
they are so prolific it's impossible to
keep pace with them for the table.
So there you are'-- just 'thought I
would tell you the result of our ex-
periment as you iilight life to try
that way yourself s. metiiner Believe
me, it is much &r than fussing
around with boiling water and brine
I meant to have tried fresh green
peas that way but we ate them all
— there were none for the locker.
Here is another experiment — it
is not my own —,j=ust one that was
handed on to me. A'certain party
was given about a bushel of yellow
corn on the cob. Not garden corn—
just straight field corn, like farmers
grow for the cows. The lady in
question cooked a few cobs but it
was ro tough her family couldn't eat
it. Being a frugal body she hated
throwing so much good food away
so she tried an experiment too, All
she did was slice off the corn into
cartons just as you would for can-
ning, sent it down to the locket --
and forgot about it. This winter she
took a carton home, cooked the
corn as usual — and it was as nice
and tender as any she had ever
tasted. The only explanation they
could give her at the locker was the
process of freezing had probably
broken down the tough fibres of
the corn.
Maybe I should add, that as far as
our beans were concerned I cooked
thein fifteen minutes in my pressure
cooker. Alt, that priceless pressures
cooker! I was telling Partner the
other day I don't believe I could
keep house without it. Man -like he
