At the railway station*he let her out and she went in to buy a tick- et for San Francisco. But before the man could get it for her, she changed her mind and ducked out of the depot and had another cab take her to the airport. It had' only taken a second as she stood before the ticket window, to realize that Joe would go by air 'and be waiting for . her when she arrived in San Fran- cisco, and that was the very last thing she wanted to happen. * . . She was just ir time to buy the remaining vacancy and catch the northbound plane. She had never been in the air before but such a minor detail did not now.<She was willing and glad to fly at the moment. Not until the twin motors roared and 'the ship moved swiftly from the ground, did she relax and take a good breath. Honey smiled at her fellow pas- sengers before settling herself com- fortably to do a bit of thinking. She leaned back and closed her lids over tired and sleepy eyes. "Honey Monro," with firm eonviction, ; grabbed off too much took over the Sylvester diamond. After all, life 'is worth more than any jewel in the world--even that one. But a promise is a promise," she argued with herself and sighed wearily. "I wonder what happened in Dan's apartment? If Joe 'gets arrested, | will be safe--I[ hope 1 will be safe," she altered, bering that Dan had said something about arresting her for stealing the diamond. * + 'eo "But if Joe gets away," she thought, and her heart froze at the pessibility, "my life won't be worth 2 cents. He will hunt me down. Nothing will stop him until he finds me. But if I make San Francisco in safety, he won't get the diamond --ever. However, destiny ruled that Hon- ey should not arrive "at her port of haven so soon--so easily. The air liner started bucking strong head avinds soon after taking off and the fog was unusually heavy along the - coast. It was a fight every mile of the way {for the pilots, and then "they lost the radio beam they were 'traveling on. As if that were not enough trouble in itself, something went wrong with the motors, mak- ing a forced landing imperative. "Buckle your safety belts," in- structed the pretty hostess on the - ship, hurrying from one passenger to the next and waiting to make sure that the order was carried out. "Emergency landing." Seconds ticked by while the pas- sengers looked at each other, trying 'to smile," yer] with fear lurking in their ey es. * * * - Then the lights went out and some one screamed. Suddenly, Honey's - heart stood still as a thought shot through her mind. The diamond. She had for- gotten it in the excitement of fasten« ing her safety belt. Quickly she grabbed the small parcel from her purse and dropped the precious box into her coat pocket. "Perliaps I should have faced Joe," she thought grimly as a new fear of disaster enveloped - her, "If the ship cracks up, I will die any- way." She shuddered at her thoughts. ~~ At that moment there was a ter- rific splash of water as the big liner struck the ocean instead of land. Honey fell forward, hitting her head on the séat in front of her. (Continged next week.) de CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 4. Act i Ma rot .B. Avooation 9. Fish eggn i Ruben" 12. Crooked (dlal,) g* 18.
