She hasn't time , to explain why she took the stone before .toe Danburne, professional thief whom she has known several months, I'llanes to Dan's apartment and she Is `toned to escape. The plane she takes to San Francisco crashes en route and she Is rescued by Art Carey. who lives with his mother near the scene. Her presence there is discovered by Dan• burne and she persuades Art to drive her back to Los Angeles. They are fol• lowed by Danburne and whet: he tries to stop theta their cars collide and Honey is knocked unconscious. CHAPTER XI (Continued from last week) "Honey!" Art cried. There was no answer. Art Carey's lace went white in the utter darkness as he fell on his knees beside the huddled figure of the girl. In hurried panic he turned her over on her back, and as his hand touched the shoulder of her coat he felt the warm wetness of blood. It was a shock, that slip- pery warmth, but there was en- couragement in the position of the wound. Art felt his heart pound heavily, with relief, and he thought abstractedly that it must have stop- ped altogether during that moment after he found her. But there was nothing he could do, and the realization swept over him sickeningly. He looked up from Honey's still form and he saw Joe Danburne. Something burned inside him as he got to his feet and moved heavily, with narrowed eyes, towards the man who had tried to kill this girl. But Joe Dan- burne did not move, did not look up as Art stood towering over him. And the toe that Art put roughly against Danburne's chest to turn Heim over stopped abruptly, •and shakingly withdrew. Joe Danburne was dead. It was at that moment that Art heard the sound of an approaching car, and he turned and ran to the middle of the road. It wouldn't be hard to attract the attention of the driver; the wrecks of the two cars 4824 SIZES 12--20 30.42 ANNE ADAMS Swallowtail peplum to round your hips gracefully -scallops and back -interest bots!

He heard the rubbery bite of tires as the brakes of the car were ap- plied, and then a man was running toward him. He followed Art to where the two bodies lay, Honey's limp but warns and breathing; Dan- burne's cold and still. There was a town just a few miles farther on, and a hospital. Honey Would be all right... . * * CHAPTER XIX The sickly smell of ether was the first thing Honey became conscious of. Though she had never been no - fortunate enough to come in con- tact with it before, one guess was enough to tell her what it was and that she must be in a hospital. There was no noise, just absolute quiet. .., She opened one eye slowly and then the other. Art was standing at the foot of the bed, very pale and a small bandage across one temple. She shifted her eyes without mov- ing her head on the pillow and saw two nurses and a. doctor in a white coat, all looking at her hopefully. She smiled and Art moved around to the side of the bed and took her hand in his. "Feel better?" he asked her with grave concern in his voice as he looked down upon her. "Did I get shot?" she asked him instead of answereing his question, her eyes demanding the truth. Art nodded his head and the doc- tor came forward. "In the shoulder, young lady," said the physician. "You will be all right." There was assurance in his manner and tone. "You were mighty lucky. The bullet left a clean hole and went on out. There was no probing to be done." * * * Relief swept across her face. "Can I travel?" She had to get to Dan and every second was precious. From the events in the past two days, it was beginning to look as if she would never get to tell Dan what she wanted him to know. "Today?" she added eagerly. • "Well, no-" he began, his gray head shaking slowly, but she inter- rupted. "I must" Tears threatened to come to the surface but she pushed them back stubbornly. "I have to get to Los Angeles without delay. Are we far from there?" "4 matter of 200 miles, Miss Monroe." He studied her thought- fully and she did not lower her be- seeching eyes from his; they pleaded with him to understand. "You might leave tomorrow in a plane," he suggested after a minute or two. "It wouldn't be such a strain that way." 'c rhea the doctor and nurses with- drew from the room, Honey asked after Joe. (Concluded next week) Can't We Be Friends, Little Girl? -Mary Janet Mueller, 2/ years old, makes new friends cautiously - especially when they're such friends as a St. Bernard dog and a Sicilian donkey. The trio became acquainted at a recent Sportsman's Show, like the one shortly to be held at the Coliseum in Toronto. I a n writing this pieee today for all those teen-agers who have writ- ten me during the past few weeks, telling ale how much they re- sent the disci- pline their par- ents are impos- ing on them. They admit they did wrong, but they don't like the nature of their pun- ishment, and every one of ,tem complains, "I've learned My lesson. How much longer must I submit to this." • One girl, deprived of a boy friend, ran away from home, and caused her mother heartbreaking anxiety until she was found and brought back. Another one got into some trouble (she doesn't specify,what) and now is violently opposed to being "treat- ed like a child." A third was skipping school and spending" her time at the movies. A fourth was discovered seeing a married man, and resents being guarded; "I'll never make that mis- take again!" * Sometimes the girls themselves * wonder.

Lord Helpt Those Some of the ' world's greatest minds have discoursed on the power of prayer, but we like -this sum- ming up a reader sends: His grandfather and father were plowing their field when a terrible lightning storm broke.

Almost every time Shopper Dor- othy Steppling says,. "Charge it to Twentieth Century -Fox," the cus- tomers in earshot, as well as the clerk waiting on her, all say; "Ooh, what an interesting job you have, how can I get one like it?" The line for the job forms on the right, if the ladies can stand on their feet that long. There are less than a dozen shoppers all told and they love being paid to buy gobs of merchandise at somebody else's expense. Shoppers buy everything an actress wears from the skin out, or the materials with which the ward- robe department can snake the clothes. Thal 'ilal.es everything from anti-perspirant shields to hat trimmings "a cow can eat." Winnie Martin, Paramount's buyer, once actually filled such a request, with carrots, lettuce and turnips sculp- tured to look like flowers. Targets for Today The shopper starts out in the morning with a list of items to buy that day, along with samples of fabrics and colors to be matched. One day recently, Dorothy Step - piing had to get these: A pale blue scarf with white polka dots the size of a quarter; white suede pumps, size 35C, for June Haver (this was in winter tittle); twenty yards of apple green chiffon and ten yards of velvet in the exact same shade; navy blue tennis shoes, the kind nuns would wear, for "Come to the Stable"; short white suede gloves, size 61%; black cord bag with round tor- toise shell opening big enough for Anne Baxter's hand to fit in; heart- , shaped pin that looks like diamonds but can be rhinestones; men's black gaiters to fit Olga San Juan; three yards of green ostrich boa; six blue roses to match sample; pick up / belt made to ms I ee ;else se for 'Susan Ha}ts,^.rtI. Iat. 9 - 1949 Modern J'' tfgir+I'e'U' 'e by Roberta Lee Q. is there any difference between a wedding invitation and a wedding announcement? A. Yes, there is quite a difference. Should you receive a wedding invita- tion, it means that the bride and bridegroom will be pleased to have you attend, and this requires a gift of some kind. Should you receive an announcement, it means that for some reason you have not been in- vited to attend, and naturally a gift is not obligatory. Q. Where should the date be writ- ten on 0 social letter or note? A. The date should be written at the left of the signature, on the last page of the letter or note. Q. Is breakfast bacon correctly eaten with the fingers? A. No; with the fork. Q. What should be done when a marriage engagement is broken af- ter the wedding presents have been received? A. The girl should return all pres- ents to the senders at once, with notes of explanation. Q. Is it good farm, when intro- ducing two persons, to say, "This is my friend, Mr. Wilson"? A. No; this would imply that the other person is not a friend. Q. Where should the monograms be placed on breakfast and luncheon napkins? A. In a coiner of the napkin, and, of course, the napkin should be folded in such a way as to display the monogram.

From somewhere he seemed to !tear: "It is the weight of the faultts you have found in others, Why do you complain? You discovered them -should they not belong to you now?" Maurice Maeterlinck.
