DIAMOND By BLANCHE ROBERTS 5) Hopi The Story thus Par: Honey the Sylvester Monroe takes _Diamond from a woman's handbag in a los Angeles department store and that evening confesses the theft to Dan Brewster, state's atworney, with whow she is in love She bLasn't time to* explain why ele took the stone ' Joe Danburne, professioual thief she has Known several -montha, to Dan's apartment and she As 1 escape The vpiane® she takes Franco crashes en route and to San she is rescued by Art Carey, who lives with hls mothers near the scene. Her prescrjre there t's discovered by Dane burne and she persuades Art to drive her buck to [os Anueles. They are fol towed by Danbucne and when he tries to stop them their cars collide and floney is knocked. uncansctong CHAPTER XI (Continued from last week) "Out or, circulation," she an- swerced truthiully, and was glad she did not hove to tell « lie to a man who was ahout to die. "lr will never tempt anyone else again." . "Inthe aeean?" His voice was an "angry croak and Honey realized that, had he heen able to reach her, he probably would 'have choked the life from her "ody. 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 any," she told him. He gave ugly to hear and she a rasping laugh that was % covered her ears for a second. to hsut it out. ~TI'hen he spoke again. "Too bad-vyour friend Brewster _couldn't know that you stole the stone from Mrs, Sylvester. 1 am sorry now 1 didn't tell him that night before 1 hit him over the head." ) + * * "Oh!" Honey sucked: in her _breath painfully as she understood what had happened to Dan in the apartment. Then she said: "He knows. 1 told him. I went there to give hini the diamond." There was pleasure in heing 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 breath and she heard him struggle hard to get it. She closed her cies .as bitter tears spilled over her lashes. Joe had a few good points that she remem: bered now as she sat there watching him--sending her beautiful flowers, spending his wicuev freely, taking her to all the nice places of enter" tainment. And with pangs of re- morse, she recalled that she had given him nothing in return, except a few smiles, her company, and be- ing engaged to him after a fashion. She started to touch him, to add comfort to his last minutes if she could; 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." Ani "Pain, h------"" h¢ hissed from be- tween closed teeth, gritting back the agony from within. Honey re- coiled as if hie had struck her, so filled with hatred were the words; "I'm done for nd you know -it. Brt 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?" "By the only clue the police had." "What was it?" "Her heart stood still with fright." If Joe had guessed, the law might do the same thing. For a long time he did not say anything and Homey was beginning to wonder if he were dead, when fie ~spoke again with new strength in his voice. i * * * "A black button with a chip out of its side. I told youthe last time you wore that black suit to lunch: eon that one of the buttons had a plece out of it. And you laughed because I noticed such a small de- tail. You lost that button when she was. you stole {fie purse from Mrs, Syl- vester, Honey, It pays to remem: ber small things when you are deal- ing in jewels, And all the time | thought you were on the level."

His ~ and there was conviction in his tone. and his voice was stronger now. and a gun swayed toward her at close range. She tried to move, but and a spurt of fire as Joe -pulled a ho son for 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. I had a purpose in mind when I became engaged to you--, [ wanted to get that diamond, and through you the path was opened. And so 1 strung along." She low- ered her voice to impart the other bit of news she wanted to tell him. "You sce, Joe, I love Dan Brew- ster, and 1 have for a long time, but he didn't know "it." "It doesn't matter now who you love." He spoke just above a whis- per and [Honey had to lean forward to catch his wotds. "You won't anyone." His words sounded final, as though he knew it for certain. i * * Honey: was out of his line of focus, but she shook her head in de- nial, not realizing that hé could not see her. "No, Fm not going to die, Joe. I'm not even hurt. The crash shook me up a bit and knocked me out for a few minutes. But T am all right now." : She could sce 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 coiiver- sation as if he had not heard her word of denial about her death. "There were two things in the world I wanted above, all else be- cause I love beauty. The Sylvester diamond and you. I can't have the diamond now.. You saw to that. But - I can take you with me." A gur- gling 'sound escaped his throat. It sounded like he was choking. Tears 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, head turned to face her and she was glad of the darkness that hid what might lie in his eyes at the moment. * L = . As they faced each other there in the darkness, a silence scemed to settle over the earth and not a sound came through the night. It 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 "No, Joe. Honey. "You're going to die," he repeated I'm all right," insisted And then suddenly he lifted an arm too late. There was an explosion the trigged. Honey slumped over in a heap on th. ground as Art came running up. (Continued next week) Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Wilen a hostess is being intro duced to a man, should she rise? A.

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 tightcous- ness.--Matt, 6:35. Most people will agree. that no three' successive chapters in all the "Bible are 'as significant 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 misiter- preted and applied 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 meats, Loye is the perfect fulfill- ment of the perfect law. "The -beatitudes vith which [the 'manifesto opens affirm that those who follow God's plan are happy. The Greek word translated "bless- ed" isin some versions translated From the time an indi- vidual begins to turn away from sin to God, he receives'a measure of happiness. This happiness increases and is characterigtic of the Chris- tian's life, sustainitg him even whe reviled and falsely accused. The sermon closes with a parabie. The person who hears and does the sayings of Jesus is compared to a man "who built his house upon a rock. The house withstands the storm. But the one who hears and fails to do the sayings of Jesus is - like the man who built on sand. The house collapses in the storm. Know- ing the'teaching of Jesus is not suffi- . cient. We niust obey. He [who takes the way of the 'Kingdom is freed from: worry. "Scek -. ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness -and all these - things "These things" are those of which you have need, Among the other precious gents of truth in this sermon on the mount is the golden rule, "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, de ye even so wet to them. | ANNE HIRST | Your Family Counselor "DEAR ANNE (IIRST: My daughter, 23, is separated from 'her husband, and is living with me. She has a sweet little girl of four. | : don't know how much longer I can stand her conduct! "She has "never had the responsibility of taking her child. All is having fun. She diinns, and stays out till three or four in the mor ning, sometimes does not come home at all. She has even taken the baby with her! "Her husband knows nothing of this. He wants to,go back with her, but she won't consider it. She wants to run around with other meri. : - - ' "I've been a gov Hotty tried to make it as easy as possible for her. She works during the day, and I keep the child, do her laundry, and accept very little money for everything. "I've talked to her many times, told her how wrong she is, in a nice way. I've even tried to force lier to behave, but to no avail. My hus- band (her stepfather) doesn't .ap- prove, and there's a constant quar- rel at our house all the time. Bet- ween the two they are killing me by degrees. I cannot sleep until she gets home, and 1 cannot take it- much longer. "Shall-T tell her husband? He is one of the finest men [ ever knew. I don't want to hurt my daughter, for-in spite 'of everything, I still love her with all my heart.

Yours is a harsh "decision to make, and I sympathize with you deeply. To tell your daughter that she can no longer live with yoit unless she behaves herself, and that if she doesn't intend to she must take her child and live elsewhere, sounds the epitome of cruelty. Yet it may come to that. So long as she knows her child is cared for, she feels free to live her own life. Living alone with the baby may awaken her to her respon-- sibilities, and force her to become a' stable and depentiable mothe No one can know until she tries it. "If you think 'her husband, through his knowledge of her as his wife, can help vou with any suggestions, you might talk things over with him. For him to approach her, however, in her-. present mood, would only alienate her further. : You cannot continue living like this. You are not so young any more that you can stand all this anxiety with impunity. The con- stant turmoil in your home takes its toll--and what would happen to you all if you break down? I think you should tell her, firmly, that you will have to make a change unless she calms down. It will be .hard to do, but it may be the best thing for her in the long run. * - aa * * Sometimes a loving mother. can make things too easy for her chil- dren.
