The nurse looked uncer- Sylvester died and the woman im- personating: her was her nurse." "How do you know, Honey?" She put fingertips over his lips as she hurried on with her explana- tion." "The Sylvesters lived in Lurope. After Mr. Sylvester's death his wife moved to a mountain village. She was an invalid and soon became bedridden. The nurse took up the position as widow and passed Mrs. "Sylvester off as an aunt." Her voice was soft and vibrant with feeling as she went on with her' story, her hand gripping his firmly for strength. The pain in her shoulder did not stop, and neither of them saw the small circle of red that came through the bandage and kept getting larger. "Harry Sylvester was the black sheep of his family and when he left home as a young man, he took his mother's diamond, the most pre- .cigus thing she possessed. It broke her heart to lose it. So before Harry's wife died, she managed to get a letter posted to his mother, telling of the nurse's activities which she was unable to prevent. But could do anything to recover it. The nurse did not know there were any living relatives and presumed her schemes were safe." "And you, Honey? He could not keep back the important Guestion any longer. "Harry had a sister who died and left a child. I am that child--Honey Sylvester' Monroe. I promised grandmother just before she died that I would get the diamond back. But she did not want to go to court about it and let the world know that her son was a thief." Her voice was getting weaker but neither noticed and she went on, struggling against the pain in her shoulder. "When I met Jot Danburne, I knew he was a jewel thief and it was through him 1 learned of the where- abouts of the stone. He was plan- ning to steal it. "That is the reason I was seen so much with him. I had to get the diagnond." A tear splashed against his bid as she added: "Grandmother has her diamond now, and nothing else matters if you forgive me. If I still have your love, Dan." . "Honey!" Never had she heard her name spoken in such a loving voice, and her heart leaped with supreme happiness, Then he saw her shoulder and the blood soaked bandage. "Honey!" he cried in alarm and reached out quickly to pull her into his arms, The door opened in that instant to admit nurses and a doctor with Art at' their heels. Honey | had fainted, her bright head against Dan, his arms around her. The doctor picked up the limp figure, but he saw the question in Dan's eyes and was compelled to answer. "Not too serious, I under- stand," he said kindly. "Just weak- ness from loss of blood." "How soon will" Dan began but the doctor interrupted. "She'll be fine in a week,' he said. "I was going to say how soon could we be married," Dan said, "but that ansivers my question." Art smiled and walked over to introduce himself to Dan. (The End) The small one was being a pest.
