"It will never tempt anyone else again." "In tlie ocean?" His voice was an angry croak and Honey realized that, had he been able to reacli her, he probably would have choked the life from her "^ody. Even know- ing that he could not move to harm her, she still had a wild desire to push back from him. "That's as good an answer as «ny." she told him. He gave a rasping laugh that wa« ugly to hear and she covered her ears for a second to hsut it out. Then he spoke again. "Too bad your friend Brewster couldn't know that you ttole tlie itone from Mrs. Sylvester. 1 am lorry now I didn't tell him that night before I hit him over the head." • * « â- Oil!" Honey sucked ia her brcatli painfully as she understood what had happened to Dan in the apartment. Then she said: "H» knows. I told him. I went there to give him the diamond." There was pleasure in being able to admit that knowledge to Joe even in his critical condition. There was a gasp from him, both of surprise and pain. He waited to draw a deep breatli and she heard him struggle hard to get it. She closed her eyes as bitter teari spilled over her lashes. Joe had a few good points that she remem- bered now 35 she sat there watching him â€" sending her beautiful flowers, spending his money freely, taking her to all the nice places of enter- tainment. -And vvitli pangs of re- morse, she recalled tliat she had giv?n him nothing in return, e.xcept a few smiles, her company, and be- ing engaged to him after a fashion. .*^;ie started to touch him, to add comfort to his last minutes if she coujd; then she jerked her hand back quickly, remembering that Joe was a dangerous man. • « • "Are you in great pain, Joe?" she asked gently. "I am sorry, you know." Ant. she was. "Pain, h !' he hissed from be- tween closed teeth, gritting back the agony from within. Honey re- coiled as if he had struck her, io filled with hatred were the words. "I'm done for 'nd you know it. Bit you're a fool if you think you can get away with double-crossing Joe Danburne." "How did you find out I took the diamond, Joe?" "lly the only clue the police had." "What was it?" Her heart stood still with fright. If Joe had guessed, the law tnight do the same thing. For a long time he did not say anything and Honey wa^ beginning to wonder if he were dead, when he spoke again with new sirongth in his voice. • • • "A black button with a chip out of its side. I told you the last lime you wore t'lat black suit Io luiuir •on that one of the buttons had a piece out of it. And you laughed because I noticed such a small de- tail. You lost that budon when you stole the purse from Mrs. Syl- vester, Honey. It pays to remein her smp.Il things when you are deal- ing in jewels. And all the time 1 thought you were on the level." "You won't understand, Joe. bet •here Is a h'ta; difTrrrnce in ni.i rea- son (or taking the diamond and" yours," she said simply. "I'm not a thief and never have been." She steeled herself to go on. "I never loved you. 1 had a purpose in mind when I became engaged to you â€" I wanted to get that diamond, and through you the path was opened. And so I strung along." She low- ered her voice to impart the other bit of news she wanted to tell him. "You sec. Joe, I love Dan Brew- ster, and I have for a long time, but he didn't know it." "It doesn't matter now wlio you love." He spoke just above a whis- per and Honey had to lean forward to catch his words. "Y'ou won't live to marry anyone."' His words sounded final, as though he knew it for certain. Honey was out of his line of focus, but she shook her head in de- nial, not realizing that he could not see her. "No, I'm not going to die. jot. I'm not even hurt. The cra'-ii shook me up a bit and knocked nie out for a few minutes. But I am all right now." She could see Art's tall figure pac- ing to and fro on the highway, impatiently waiting for a motorist to come to their aid. Joe took up his end of the conver- sation as if he had not lieard her word of denial about her death. "There were two things in the world I wanted above all cKe be- cause 1 love beauty. The Sylvester diamond and you. 1 can't liave the diamond now. You saw to that. But I can take you with me." .\ gur- gling sound escaped his throat. It sounded like lie was choking, 'fears came faster to Honey's eyes and she wrung her hands helplessly as she sat near him, watching. He struggled hard for a breath and got it. Then with great effort, he moved his body slightly. Mis head turned to face her and she was glad of the darkness that hid what might lie in liis eyes at the ninnient. • * « .^s they faced each other there in the darkness, a silence seemed to settle over the earth and not a sound came through the night, (t was so still that Honey could hear her own heart thumping. When she thought she could stand the quiet no longer, Joe spoke. "You are very beautiful, Honey. But you are going to die," he said and there was conviction in his tone. "No, Joe. I'm all right," insisted Honey. "You're gulng to die," lie repeated and his voice was stronger now. And then suddenly he lifted an arm and a gun swayed toward her at close range. She tried to move, but too late. There was an explosion and a spurt of fire as ]oe pulled the trigged. Honey slumped over in a heap on th ground as Art came running up.

R. Barclay Warren The Standards Of The Kingdom Matt. 5:1-12! 7:24-27. Golden Text: Seek ye first the kingdom of God. and his righteous- ness. â€" Matt. C<:33. Most people will agree that no three successive chapters in all the Bible are as signilicant and import- ant as Matthew 5-7. Here is the manifesto of the King. He said, "I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it." He did not come to fulfill the law as it had been misinter- preted and apidied by the Pharisees. They had sought to keep the letter of the law and still violate its true meaning. Here Jesus restores the law- to its proper meaning and gives examples to illustrate what He means. Love is the perfect fulfill- ment of the perfect law. The beatitudes with |which [the manifesto oixn- affirm that those who follow tiod's plan are happy. The Greek word translated "bless- ed" is in some versions translated "happj." TroMi the time an indi- vidual begins to tuin away fmui sin to God, he receives a measure of happiness. This happiness increases and is characteristic of the Chris- tian's life, sustaining him even wheu reviled and fahely accused. The scrniun closes witli a parable. The person w ho hears and does the sayings of Jesus is compared to a man who built his house upon a rock. The house withstands the storm. Hut the one who hears and fails to do the sayings of Jesii^ is like the man who built on sand. The house collapses in the storm. Know- ing the teaching of Jesus is not siiflfi- cicut. We nuist obey. lie |who takes the way oi the Kingdom is freed from worry. "Seek ye first tlie kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." "llKse things" are those of which you have need. .'\inoug the other precious gems of truth in this sermon on the mount is the .golden rule, "Therefore all things whatscevcr ye would that men should do to you. de ye even so to thrill." WILLIE WEATHER Says: I'm quite con- cerned about my son these days. He's a very good boy all spring, summer and fall, but as soon as winter conies. He starts to bite people.
