A LL right jow?" The arm re
iRxei. Anne steadied herself against the
ether arm, the band of which seemed
to have loosened Its hold on a
cable. She looked at the band, saw
the cruel red welt across the palm,
the broken skin between th-i 'numb
and Brat finger.
And then sbe looked up Into a
5 r on zed face, topped by a shock of
wind-tossed hair. Looked up Into
yes so Intensely blue they seemed
nnbelleveable. Disturbing eyes, she
decided In the scant fraction of a
second it took her to steady herself.
"Sure you're all right?" Again
the young fisherman spoke to Anne.
"Quite," she answered, then im
pulsively "kUioksis."

"Labor trouble?" Luke Farns
worth turned to Neuman. "Know
anything about It, John?"-
Anne, unobserved, watched the
three men breathlessly. Her father
physically big, bis strongly cut fea
tures showing the mark of years o'
well-earned authority; Rob Crocker,
with tbe well groomed appearance
of the successful young business
man; and John Neuman, youngest ol
tbe three, but with a look of man
hood about him.
Rob turned irom looking at Neu
man contemptuously. "You don't
suppose the Finn would tell you the
truth, do you?" he snapped.
Anne tensed. Sbe admired Rob's
courage in facing a man so superior
In physical strength, and yet was It
courage to taunt a flshorman. depen
dent upon selling his catch to their
canneries?
"What do you mean?" barked
Farnsworth.
Mr. Crocker means," Neuman
answered, choslng his words care
fully," that If he Injures me with
you, first, then he'll be safe If I
chose to tell the truth, the whole
truth." He started to turn away,
then added, "you needn't worry, Mr.
Crocker."
STATE ON TOUR

t Smiling und affable Rexford O, Tug-
ed In Portland Monday, . expressed
confidence President Roosevelt would
be re-elected and polltey parried
questions as to the continuance of
the new deal policies by asking "did
you ever hear of the supreme court?"
Tugwell arrived 8undy from Ban
Francisco after a trip Vo Mexico City
and said he would leave here to
night for southern California.
In commenting on a question as to
the permanence of present executive
policies, Tugwell In a pre-arranged
press cdnference said:
"There are some things outside the
control of the new eal. Did you
ever hear of the lupreme court?
away from us tomorrow ... No one
can commit congress, you know."
Tugwell said he was making his
present trip merely to establish def
inite and friendly relations with the !
11 regional resettlement offices, andj
conferred here with Walter A. Duffy, i
regional administrator for Oregon, !
Washington and Idaho. !

"Sure you're all right?" asked the fisherman.
"Ai ansllst," he responded, quickly.
"I say, man, that was quick think
ing." Luke Farnsworth was on the
float with thorn, his voice broken,
his face blanched. "I I'm deeply
Indebted. Why John, I didn't recog
nize you, might have known you'd
do a thing like that, Not many young
men capable of reasoning such a
rescue In a split second, would have
the strength to carry It through.
"Anne,' this Is John Neuman, John,
my daughter."
"John Neuman?" Anne looked up.
To think sbe could have forgotten
him. "Of course," she aald, "you
were half-back for the Aggies, and I
danced with -you at Multnomah, two
years ago."
"And you wore a yellow dress
. with a lot of shiny thlngamabobs."
"Imagine your remembering that."
Anne found It difficult to meet the
steady scrutiny of bis eyes.
"Imagine my forgetting It," he
countered, gravely.
"Anne," Interposed Luke Farns
worth," do you appreciate the fact
that this young man saved your
life; have you thanked him?"
"She has," Neuman repllod. "and
In my own language. She speaks
Finnish like a native."
. "1 once had a Finnish nurse,"
Anns explained.
WITH tbe advent of the Ahtt, and
the news that Neuman had res
cued the cannery owner's daughter,
a crowd had gathered on the wharf
above them. Anne, seeking relief
from the blue eyes studying her ao
respectfully, glanced up, then start
ed in surprise. Looking down at ber,
stern disapproval on his handsome
face, was Hob Crocker, her fiance,
tvhom she thought was In Portlnnd.
"Dad," she pulled at bis alcove,
"there's Rob."
She wondered It she had Imagined
I nervous jerk at her words. Luke
Farnsworth looked up. "What are
rou doing hero?" he barked at the
man on the wharf.
llob Crocker dropped lightly to
tbe float and without looking at
Anne, faced her father. "I heard
there was labor trouble brewing
here. You neither loft word of your

tude spoke again In Finnish "jn

"You are welcome, Miss Farns
worth, and goodbye to you."
"John," Luke Farnsworth halted
blm, "Just a moment. I'd like to talk
to you In the office. Rob," be turned
to Crocker who stood watching him
Intently, "take Anne through the
canneries."
Crocker hesitated a moment,
eyed tbe two walking away with a
look of consternation, thon turned
to Anne and grasped her arm poa
sesslvely. When they wore out of car
shot he turned with a flashing smile
which quickly dispelled her growing
suspicion that Rob might have an
unpleasant aide, heretofore, unno
ticed. "Nice trip?" he asked.
"Heavenly," she answered.
"Glad to see me hero?" he qulned.
"I was until you barked at Mr.
Neuman, after ho'd saved my life."
"Saved your nothing," Rob de
rided. "1 could see everything from
the wharf. You'd have struck the
float all right, and even If you'd
dropped In you'd have swam out, a
fish like you."
"Rob," Anne's voice was low,
troubled, "I don't understand your
attitude. I should think you'd be
grateful."
Anne turned to him. It seemed this
dark hatred, dark eyed man, with
his flashing white teeth, and small
closo cropped moustache, was a
stronger, some oldor man who
looked down at her from his fifteen
years seniority, rather than the lov
able comrade she was to marry.
"I happen to know that what John
Neuman did down there was done
not In an attempt to save your life,
but to make it appear he had. He
wants to put your father under auch
heavy obligation that he'll have to
meet Neuman's demands In the row
he's hatched up."
"What la the row?" Anne asked.

Eugene V. Debs, foremost Amert- in prison he ran on the 1930 Social-
can Socialist lcadnr of his time, and
five-time candidate for the presi
dency of the United States, con
ducted hla last campaign behind the
bars of the federal penitentiary In
Leavenworth, Kansas, serving sen
tence there for war-time violation
of the espionage act because of his
pacifist activities.
Deba was the Socialist nominee In
the presidential elections of 1900.
1904, 1008 and 1913. He declined the
nomination In 1016, but after he was
1st ticket. The prisoner-candidate
polled more than 919,000 votes
throughout the country.
Strange as It seems, the man who
defeated Debs for the presidency,
Warren O. Harding, ordered his re
lease from the penitentiary with
full pardon less than a year after
he took office.
Under special conditions, and In
close proximity to a transmitting
device, the human arms may serve
as a radio antennae, picking up
enough electrical energy from the air
to light an electric light bulb. Ex
perlments proving this have been
conducted at Schnectady. N. Y. The
arms are held In a loop, outstretch
ed from the body, and with an elec
tric light bulb In the hands ao that
one hand forms one contact while
the other completes the circuit.
Energy transmitted from a loop an
tennae beow the arms Is picked up
by the arms and carried through
the bulb, causing It to light.
