Honey did not know where she was and she hated to open hier eyes to find out. But her whole body ached and she was cold and very wet and lying in a most uncomfort- able position with her head resting on something hard--not a pillow, to be sure. As her senses returned to normal, she became aware of motion and a chugchug-ging noise like a small. boat would make. She waited several minutes, trying in vain to identify some familiar sound, then she opened hier'eyes slowly, Pea-soup fog was the first thing She lowered the -- line of her vision and made out the form of a man fear by, He was gazing out to seq and'sat very still, hunched over in deep thought, a pipe between Los lips, : "Where am #7 she called, teeth chattering, and lifting her head from its hard Jrestin go place, Her voice start od the man and he turned ei to face her.

Inside the, house, Art reached to take her coat off, Honey remembered the stone fast ened jn her pocket, and she huddled deeper into the wrap. After all the dangers she had been through for the diamond 'she was not going to take a chance of losing it now. "Not yet," -she told him with a smile, and followed the woman into the small bedroom. "Art probably dido't think to in troduce himself," said her hostess. "I am his mother, Mrs. Carey. He is a nice boy but he forgets his manners now and then." Mrs. Carey looked at Honey inquiringly. "I .am so glad to know you. My name is Honey--ah--Honcy Roe." She smiled with relief when she saw that the-wonian did not notice the hesitation over her name. She hated to lie about anything, but on the moment it seemed the wis- est course to take. She was not ready to advertise her true identity. "That is a right pretty name." Mrs. Carey pulled things from the dresser drawers and put them on the bed. "Kind of romantic, too. Well, here is everything now. You hurry and change," and she left the room. Honey slipped quickly out of her wet things. And as she dressed, she asked herself: "1 wonder how far we are from San Francisco? | must get there as soon as | can." * v .

Twenty-one of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are epistles or. letters, most of them written by Paul. Sometimes 'be- cause a person was about to make a journey to some church or churches, or to some place where & friend was, Paul would send letter along, as he did to Titus in Crete. Because the church at Philippi had sent a present to Paul in Rome, Paul sent back a "thank-you" letter by this same messenger when he returned--the letter to the Philip- pians. Paul's affection for" the dein «is especially evident in this lesson. He was writing from a Roman prison, and doubtless recalled his prison experience when he first visited Philippi. Though he and Silas had--been beaten and their feet fastened in the stocks, at mid-- night they prayed and sang praises This same dauntless no whiner, He was praying with joy, confident "that He which hath "begun a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. ge While one faces the fact of phys: ical illness it is indisputable that a considerable proportion of ailments arise 'from unhealthful thinking. Worry is the greatest disease. Paul gives us good advice, "Whatsoever things are true,--honest,--just,~ pure,--lovely,--of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things."
