Now, let's hear about you," and lit his pipe. . Honey's brow clouded.

"A penny tor your thoughts, must be interesting to take you 'so far away." said her companion, re- calling her to the present. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "They aren't for sale." « "Ah, a man then. When a girl is secretive abbout what she is think- ing, it's always=a man." "1 won't argue =the point," laughed, "because liwyers have a way of winning "their points." © "We sure try hard." Honey rode into the village with Art for the mail in the late after- noon. It scemed she had known him always and not just since carly morning. While he assorted and opened his letters, he handed 'her the paper to read. The headlines, of course, were ali about the crash.. arrested There among the list of victims was her "name, [loney Monroe of Los Angeles. She-looked up to sce Art Carcy reading the same list qver her shoulder. 3 Surprise crossed his face and he lifted his eves and met hers square- ly. There was a-hint of inquiry in the depths~of his but he said noth- ing. Honey lowered her gaze quick- ly and continued to read the other captions on the front page while a flush of guilt burned her cheeks. A moment later, she, caught her breath and a sob rose to her throat as her eyes fell or in item near the "bottom of the page. . CHAPTER VII ~ With . hands that ~ shook uncon- trollably, Honey folded the evening paper carciully, trying to pretend that all was well when her whole was about to crumble, and handed it back to Art. That last article she had read was about Dan- icl Brewster. He was in the hos- "+ pital, the paper said, hovering be- tween life and' death. His assailant was unknown and there scemed to be a cloak of mystery surrounding inclined to believe that a "was involved, siice the bedroom door was locked from the inside and escape had been made by sheets over . the balcony, and the knots ~were not the kind "usually made 'by men, EE 4 Tlie smile she tried to give Art was a A shadow trembled, but she held back the grief that wanted to come out, . When she could speak without giv- ing herself away, she said lightly: "Newspapers do get things and he snggested? I'hey she . and her lips- » names wrong now .and then, don't they?" : Ty "Do they?" he asked stiffly, and she knew instantly that he was her name. "I wonder?" - Her heart cried out in agony to gO to Dan, but common sense told her to stay under cover until he was well énough to talk to her. That. was her only chance of security. As for Joe, she reasoned, he would see her name among the crash victimg and would cease to look for her. She was -so deep in her own thoughts that she jumped when Art spoke to her. : "You wouldn't care some things, Honey?" "I'd like to, yes--but [I can't" she told him earnestly, feeling ter- rible that he had caught her in a falsehdod when he and his mother had taken her in so gladly and without asking questions. "Please believe me, Art," she implored. N * * * to explain "And your name really is Honey Monroe?" he kept on with determi- nation seeking the truth anyway. "Yes." . "Ma 'thinks you are on the level," he reminded lier. unrelentlessly, pipe between his teeth. \ She flinched and lowered her head in shame. Tears stung at the back of her 'eyes hotly. "I know," she" whispered. "I am awfully sorry." "You are afraid of something,' he continued as if reasoning things _out for her. "I have seen it in your eyes all day. And just now some- thing in the paper made you catch your breath for a moment and it tore at your heart." "Does nothing escape you?" she asked him softly. } just ignored her interruption. "You want to hide for some reason. All right." There was firm decision in his voice. He, picked up the paper: and threw it out of the car. "We lost the paper 'when Ma asks for it. - The wind got it." "Thank you," she said chokingly, .and the tears spilled over the lashes this time and she did not try to stop them for a moment. He put a hand over. hers gently, comfortingly. AT "You will tell me some time -all about it, Honey, and until then, it is all right. You need a friend and I am it. Now we will forget troubles , for 'a while." He lifted his voice to a more cheerful note. "Would you like .to go fishing tomorrow?" "Oh, Art!" she said forcing, a ghost of a smile. "I'd love to go * Lo * ~ .He laughed and there was a bit of amusement in it. : "You may have to do it sooned than you expect," and he pointed up "to the cottage. as he pulled the car to a stop before the garage.

Its presence had been for- gotten momentarily, and feeling it now. was a distinct shock and it brought her heart right into her throat. Her mission-had not been "accomplished and she was reminded once again to be cautious. "Wait." She put a detaining hand "on Art's arm as he started to move toward the house.

Its solemn cheer seems to permeate the atmosphere of factory and home. . [It is solemn because : sacred. The child born in Bethle- hem's manger was Immanuel, God with us. The Divine One took flesh and was made in the likeness of men. [tis cheer because it is good tidings to all men; to Jew and Gen- tile, rich and poor, high and low. He. brought salvatiosi for all.

Now, after nineteen centudies, we look back to this event as the greatest of all time... We set our calendar by Let us enjoy to the full the spirit of Christmas. As in war opposing armies liave made a truce for Christ- mas Day, so let us relax from the war of nerves. Let us praise God as the choir of angels over the hill- side and the wondering shepherds.
