 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER III
 Honey Lou went marching along in the chilly darkness.
 Her head was up and her hands were clenched at her sides.
 She was blazing with anger. Honest anger that made her heart race and her breath come in little sobbing jerks.
 She was hurt. too. Terribly hurt. To think that man would

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
MAGIC OF PLASTIC SURGERY
 REPLACES SCARRING KNIFE

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine
 During the World war the mu- tllating injuries suffered by many of the men were assuaged through the development of new features in surgical technique.
 Whereas formerly it was consid- cred sufficient merely to sew up a wound, to amputate shattered limb or to save life regardless Of appearance. surgeons then began to consider operations with a view to the most presentable appear ance possible after repair.
 The technique itself Is difficult but the war yielded a few masters in the medical service of each of the warning nations.
 Stitching and Filling In
 Tn addition to making wounds more slightly by fine stitching, methods were evolved for filling in defects by transplanting tissues from points elsewhere in the body.
 For instance. a wound under the eye was repaired by moving some head or the check. This was left attached to its original blood sup ply until new vessels had come in and then the original attachment or pedicle was removed. In one instance tissue taken from the upper part of the chest l filled in the side Of the face. Here | mutilations were made slightly and at least 6 tolerable existence given 1 to men whose lives otherwise might have been an agony of sen- sitivencss.
 Transplanting Muscles In one case a man whose arm was lost at the shoulder had not even enough of a stump to attach an artificial limb.
 By transplanting muscles and tendons from nelghboring parts surgeons were able 10 make a stump that served well for the at tachment of an artificial limb with which the man was able to earn a | livelihood.
 The economic aspects of the sit | uation are, of course, even more important than those relating wholly to the patients appearance

of home. He had neighbor he didn't like. That neighbor had a habit of sitting on Danny's roof and snapping his bill, and talking to himself loud enough for Danny to hear him. and somehow Danny didn't like to hear him. His talk would run something like this:
 There's nothing I like better than e fat meadow mouse. No, If I had q fat meadow mouse there wouldn't be q thing in the world I would envy anybody. l don't know of any thing that tastes better than a fat meadow mouse. 1 have tried all sorts of things, but give me a meadow mouse every time. If l thought there was one around here I would stay all night"
 Now Danny would lie in his little nest right underneath the old log on which the speaker was sitting. and Danny would shiver and shake clear to the end of his little short tail. He used to curl up and hold on to the end Of his tail sometimes. so as to be sure he didn't rustic in the grass. You see, that ncighbor sit ting on his roof was Short-ear the owl. Danny didn't like him. Danny was fairly acquainted with Hooty the Great Horned Owl and Spooky the Screech owl, but Short-ear was a new member of the owl family, fo l., l Danny didn't like him. For that matter, Danny didn't like any mem Der of the Owl family. But he par ticularly objected 10 Short ear, be- cause the latter spent so much time sitting on that old log under which Danny had his nest. Hooty and Spooly perch in trees. Danny says this Is where respectable birds ought to perch; but Short-ear is found on or close to the ground. For this reason he is sometimes called the Marsh Owl.
 That fellow talks just as 1T he didn't know I could hear him" " thought Danny to himself. "It gives me the cold creeps 10 hear him tell how good a fat meadow mouse would taste. He knows perfectly well I'm under here. It Is getting SO I don't dare go out except in the day time. Just like all the other owls. that fellow doesn't make any noise when he flies, and I feel il in my bones that sooner or later I'm going to furnish him that dinner he's talking about all the time, un- less l get out of here. think I'll go straight back 10 the Green Meadows and Nanny Meadow Mouse"
 And then, for the first time fl struck Danny that he hadn't the slightest idea where the Green Mead ows were. or how he could possibly got there.

Elegance in the matter of fabric and silhouette, combined with elab- crate trimmings, are the paramount features of the present luxurious evening mode. Evening gowns are frequently entirely trimmed with sequins and sparkling embroidery. while wraps strike an even more sumptuous note owing to the lavish use of beads and glittering stitch ing.
 A beguling instance of this use of decorative detail is the evening coat sketched today. This Is of supple black velvet, richly orna- mented with chain stitching in green, blue, wine red and Chinese yellow. This embroidery, in pat tern suggestive of a Japanese flower design, covers the entire garment, being broken here and there with Oriental motifs of fine gold braid. The gold note appears again in the border of gold cloth which edges the shirred collar and revers.
 Wide dolman sleeves and a full bloused back are further desirable features of this stunning wrap.
 Chain stitching in brilliant colors covers the entire surface of this black velvet evening wrap. In place Of fur is a high, shirred col lar edged with n band of gold cloth.

pack" Jack said to himself with a grin of admiration as he sped along in the darkness - alone with his problem.
 It was eight o'clock when Honey Lou unlocked the door of the little Arbor street flat.
 The yellow lamp slowed on the table in the sitting room. But the rest of the flat was dark and empty. Mrs Huntley never wasted electric light or anything else. She couldn't afford to.
 Honey Lou switched on light in the little bedroom that she and Margret shared.
 On the fashioned dresser that had belonged to Great grandmother Huntley was little folded note. Honey Lou Read it. "Mothcr and have gone to "The Duchessa' with Steve Mayhew," ," | Margret had written. "We'll be sitting down in front where we always sit. Come on over as soon as you've had your supper. It's on ! the back of the stove. M."
 "The Duchessa" was the neigh borhood picture house where the family spent one or two evenings every week.
 But no movie for me to- night" said Honey Lou to herself as she took off her damp shoes and slipped her cold feet into pink house slippers. i've had all tn excitement want tonight - in my own life!" She was sitting there on the | edge of the old hand-carved wal nut bed when the doorbell down. stairs rang sharply through the 1 evening quiet.
 Honey Lou did not move. She sat there, scowling Q little in a troubled way, and wondered who could be downstairs ringing the ! bell.
 probably it's Aunt Lucy she decided. 'Ill just let her ring"
 Aunt Lucy Nio llloAiN' p'SN~A She was a gentle soul who had plenty of money and no family to spend it on.
 Honey Lou was very fond Of her 1 and of Uncle Henry, too. But she did not want to sec them tonight.
 She did not want to see anybody She ! wanted to go out into the kitchen and drink some nice hot milk and then go straight to bed ! Straight to sleep and to forsetful' ness of the thing that had hap pened to her an hour ago.
 She went softly out into the liv' ing room to turn out the yellow lamp.
 It was then tl,at she heard foot steps coming swiftly up the stairs A knock came on the panels of tht

dare to lay his hands upon her and kiss her that way, AS if she belonged to him.
 The look that she threw over her shoulder, into the darkness behind her, was half resentful and half wistful.
 The black and nickel car had turned and was coming slowly toward her. Its headlights sent a stream of dazzling whiteness along the road.
 Tn another minute the car Itself was beside her. It stopped.
 Honey Lou stopped, too.
 The glare of the headlights showed her to Jack Wallack for the lovely, hurt thing that she was at that moment - the big, golden brown eyes glinting with tears and the sensitive mouth dropping and unsmiling.
 I'm sorry. Really I'm sorry, v his voice came from tn e gloom be- hind the headlights. Please come back into the car - I promise to take you straight home"
 Honey Lou heard him open the door of the roadster. But she shook her head.
 There was a solid lump in her throat, and it was hard for her to speak.
 "Nix!" she said to him in . etranpled voice. wouldn't get into your car again if you stood there waiting for me all night! You may be able to kiss other girls, but you cant kiss ME like that and get away with it. I'll have you know!"
 And once more she started off into the darkness. This time the gleaming black car parsed her with rush and roar-2nd Vanshed into the December night.
 Honey Lou stood stock still in the lonely road and watched 1t until it was clear out of sight.
 "You may be able to kiss other girls" Honey Lou had sald 10 JACK Wallack.
 And, of course, he had kissed other girls. Lots of other girls. He had never had any trouble in doing 1t, either. Sometimes it had seemed to young Jack Wallack l that 1t was almost too easy.
 For he had money and he was moro than commonly good to look upon. Tall, broad -shouldered and blond with eyes that were very blue in his tanned face. Restless 1 unsatisfied eyes.
 He was the kind of man whom women adore, and yet who is q mans man.
 All women liked him. Some Of | them not wisely and some far toe l well.

"I don't know whether I will or not. Did it strike you, John Mere dith, that was the kind of girl who would stand for promiscuous betting immediately you met me?"
 T don't know what you mean by petting-I have never kissed a girl before in my life, and you. Judy, only struck me as the sweetest wo- man in all the world.
 Judy, forgive me. couldn't help it. Dear girl, l love you--I more than love you'll oh, the English i language is so inadequate to express what I feel for you"
 He came forward again; ] tried to push him away, but he was stronger than I thought, and he drew me into | q little alcove beside where we were standing and pulled me down beside him on a divan; again his mouth sought mine.
