Sat- isficd-at last that no one was lurk: ing in the rooms, to spy on her, she turned back the mattress on her bed quickly and found lier suede bag just where she had put it carligr in the evening. She picked it up care- examining it thoroughly from the outside. But only for a moment did she contem- plate it thus; the inside was more alluring. Scon her cager fingers "clutched the velvet box in a firm grasp and she hugged it to her heart for just a sccond. Installed comfortably in the mid- dle of the bed, she opened the case drawn tightly. and "stared at the jewel with fas- cinated eyes. "It's mine!

There was no sine to dress; or to do much thinking, %he threw a fur coat over her pijamas and grabbed up the velvet box and her purse. The back door led into the hall and that avehue of flight was out. Only the fire escape rethained, sinister, scary thing that it was." As she was climbing out the kitchen window, the doorbell rang and kept ringing. "He'll kill me," she. kept repeat- ing over and over, beside herself with terror. ~ On' the sidewalk, _she glanced quickly around, but saw no one. She darted around the corner and hailed a passing taxi. "I want a telephone book; please," she told the driver as he pulle d away from the curb. He reached inside a compartment for what she wanted. Scanning down the B's, she finally came to Daniel Brewster's name and op. posite it the address. This she gave "to. the driver and sat huddled back in the corner of the dark cab until thé cat pulled up and stopped 'be- fore the white stucco apartment house. On entering she spotted the call- ing cards above the bells, She found the one she was looking for, on the secorid floor, She pushed the ring- «er, hard and-long; then, she ran up the carpeted dtairs and paused at the top step to see which door was going lo open to her sumpions, Slee heard footsteps in the apart- ent to her. left and was before the . door,, ready to dart in when Dan pulled it back. "Hones! What is it? Why are you here at this time of the night?" "l am afraid," she told him and shivered visibly, "Why are you afraid, Honey? What hag happened since R left you? It hasn't been very long." "I m afraid Joe Dn 1burne will kill me." "Kill you?" repeated Dan and she saw his eyes harden to flaming steel points. "Why?" He shot the ques- tion at her but she did not flinch, "Have you seen him? Tald him about us already?" She shook her head quickly. "This is why." She opened her bag and drew out the velvet box. She sprung the catch and the light fell on the diamond in all its beauty. « * = "The Sylvester diamond," she ex plained simply. . "The Syl--" He caught his breath without finishing the word. He started to lift a hand, then let it fall back heavily at his side as though a weight pulled it down. The blood slowly drained from his face. He stared at Honey and his eyes were sick, She held the box out to him and when he made no move to take it, she fell back in the chair and drop- ped it in her lap. She said slowly: "I know. what "you are thinking. That I am a thief." There was deep hurt in her voice, tears in her beautiful eyes: "I am not, Dan. I am not a thief." Still he said nothing as he stood there. He took a hard breath as though it were difficult for him to breathe under the circumstances. "Please believe me," she begged fervently, "I am not what you are thinking." "Why did you come here, Hon- cy?" he demanded savagely at last. "Why did you bring me the stolen diamond? You know I'm the dis- trict attorney." "That's why I came to you, Dan. I intended to let you know about it. Oaly 1 wasn't quite ready. You won't understand that, of course," she said wistfully and lifted her eyes to him again and they were glazed with salty tears.

Bi Warren Poetry in the Bible Psalm 24; Habakkuk 3:17-19 Qolden Text:--He hath put a new song. in my mouth, even praise unto our God. Psalm 40:3, Wordsworth said, "All good poe- try is .the spontaneous overflow of feelings." In the Old Testament Paslms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon and lamentations as well as portions of other books are poetry. Poetry is meant to foster a feeling, a perception, a 'hope, 3 faith. Poetry is music in" words: and music is poetry in sound. A- comparisui of the heat- ing of the tomitom ot the African and the songs 'and music of thé Christians forcibly illustrates - that the Christian -eligion has music. David in his song calls for clean hands. The external life must be right. But he also emphasizes "a pure heart." Religion that does not correct man's inner nature is a cheat. Jesus Christ exposed the sham of mere formal religion and declared, "Ye must be born again" and "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The occasion for the writing of this Psalm -was probably when the' ark of covenant was being borne triumphantly into the city of Jer- usalem. The gates are poetically fancied as being=too low for the King of glory to enter. The selection from Habakkuk illustrates the fact that the Christ- fan still has his song in the day of adversity. His happiness does not depend- on material prosperity. He rejoices inspite of trouble. He . is a witness to the fact that God 4 ginte Andrews. stalk; Cut acros into fine shreds with a sharp knife.
