PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKU, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24. 1935. i HIGH COURAGE lgH-t-(H. ..by Jeanne SYNOPSIS: Anne Farnsworth feelj tns mystery behind her a flier's sudden trio to hit Astoria Ash canneries but t not able to fienelrate if. She t further die urbed vhen her fiance, Rob Crock er, insults a Finnish boy uiho res euet her from the river, and obtects to her talking to Tecla Sorki, her old nurse. At the Astoria hotel Anne's mother asks whether Rob thanked John Neuman. her rescuer. Chapter Four HINT FROM MOTHER "N TO, mother, be didn't." admitted Anne. "He Insisted Neuman merely made a gesture to put Dad under obligation to him. What do you think?" "I could be arrested (or what J think ... of Rob," Mrs. Farnsworth confessed, laughing. "1 don't believe John Neuman had time to Identify our boat or you. He saw the' need for action and acted; 1 understand he's like that" "Well, Rob was Jealous, mother. Anne hastened to defend her Dance "He seemed to object to Neuman's putting bis arms about me. I sup pose 1 should be proud that be thinks that much of me, shouldn't I?" "That's for you to decide," Mrs. Farnsworth evaded. "Well ... 1 sup pose we should dress for dinner." "Mother, you're looking forward to this family dinner about as much as I am," accused Anne. "Rob says the Parleys are going to be there." "They would be." murmured the woman, with her whimsical laugh "There are times when 1 rejoice that my relatives are as distant In kin as they are In geography. As much as I love Luke, the two his brother and sister married are all the In-laws 1 can stand in one life time. Not that I'd lot him know,' she hastened to say, "Lee Is still his funny little brother and Mabel, In spite of ber girth, a little slstor to be eared for." "I wonder wby Rob has never tak en me to see bis mother and father,' Anne mused. "They don't live so far away; live oi. a farm in the south era part of the State, be says. I'd like to know them; maybe I'd un derstand blm better." "Daughter," Mrs. Farnsworth rose and came over to Anne, "what do you mean by that? Do you feel you don't know Rob well enough to go on with your marriage?" It seemed to Anne that her mother's voice was tinged with hope. "No, not that." she hastened to say, "only I believe that, know ing a person's parents and child hood, you can tell better how they will react to certain trials. 1 never know how Rob will act In a crisis, like today, for Instance." "Anne," Mrs. Farnsworth leaned over her daughtor, dark eyes trou bled. "Why not postpone your mar riage to Rob until next winter? Will you do that, dear?" A NNE studied her mother In con sternatlon. Put off hex wedding with the bridesmaids chosen, the new home they would occupy nearly completed? "Mother, why do you ask?" "Oh," Mrs. Farnsworth's mood seemed to change, "Just the desire of a silly old hen with a lone duck ling," she explained. "I do want you to be as happy as Dad and 1 have been, and if you feel any uncertainty at all, 1 want you to know we wouldn't mind making plausible ex cuses for you." Anne laughed In sheer relief. "Don't worry, I'm not uncortaln." "Then we'd bettor drens. I had Yvonne pack that new coral velvet. Charlotte Is piqued If we don't dress for her dinners and Jealous If we do, so we might as well give her something to be Jealous about." Anne came flushed and rosy from her hath tn And Mn. PnrniiTOnrlh had gone to the otbor room. Method ically the girl brushed her long, rolden brown hair, plaited It. then after slipping Into the coral velvet, bound the braids about ber head. 8he studied her Image In the mir ror. Impersonally. In spite of what her mother had said, she wasn't pretty. Her eyea wero a nice rich brown, but they were set too far apart and her brows wore too black tor such pale brown hair. Fortunately she had perfect teeth, (or her mouth was generously pro portioned. Rhe leaned forward, sur veyed the creamy tone of her skin. It wouldn't be long before It was rosy tan, two or three days In the open . . . Neuman was bronzed, and his eyes were sea blue, no, sailor blue. v A blast of wind struck the build ing and rattled the windows, then walled off around tin eaves. The storm was coming In, Haying the panes with long streaks of rain. CLEANUP SOUGHT PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 34. (AP) Chief of Polic Harry Nile mdy mil d upon the city to clean up Port land'. shantytown districts where he aald several ahootlni, two iMay.nB and numerous drunken ftchts have occurred. Mayor Joseph Carson referred the matter to the city council. To ease the housing situation of unemployed during the deprrssion. drifters and down -and -outers were permitted to erect makeshift shirk about the base of Hoss island bridge and near Oceanic terminal nlonst the Willamette river, They now have beoome not only unsanitary, but s constant source of troubl. to poijee, Ciuef NUf said. 53 Bowman. ANNE walked to the windows ana looked out The river was smothered In darkness. Lights on the wharves flickered blue, and the nearby electric signs smouldered In red and unearthly greens. "Makes me think of one of Tecla's stories." she mused, "one of those weird nights that blow In on sea coast towns. Yes?" she spoke aloud, as someone rattled the door knob. "Oh, Dad. hello." she greeted, opening the door, "and Tecla, come In." "Mother dressed?" asked Farns worth, abruptly, "Yes, Luke." Mrs. Farnsworth, In a dress as silver aa her hair, came from the Inner room. What's wrong, dear?" she asked, apprehen sively.

Oo down and meet him and go on to Lee's with him. And, daughter, it won't be necessary to mention to him, or the others, that Tecla Is here with us, will it?" "No, Dad," she faltered, "not II you don't want It known." "Good girl, run along now. 1 wish to goodness we didn't have to stop for that meal but I suppose Char lotte would have a tit If we didn't. ," The closed door cut off the ex planation which must have followed these words. Anne threw a long fur cape over her shouldors, discovered a florist's box on the night stand, paused to fasten a spray of gardenias along the lower line of her frock's square nook, and then went Into the hall. . More mystery from which both she end Rob were excluded, and In which -Tecla Sorkl. a comparative stranger, was Included. Sho stopped from the elevator, a regal young figure, chin up. no hint of trouble showing tn her eyes, as she walked the few steps to meet Hob. She felt attain a thrill of pride In his distinguished appearance. "We're going on alone," she told him. after thanking him for the gar denlns. "Why? Oh. I suppose Dad Is having his usual wrangle with his tie. They'll call a cab, so we needn't wait."

Yet, strange as It seems, not a note of music was played or sung at the funeral of the music master. Not even his Requiem that he work ed on during the last days of his Ufa was heard.

Mozart, during his last illness, was visited by a stranger who declined to give his name, but who asked the composer to write a requiem. Later the stranger came again, but the piece was not completed. Mo zart, by this time, had become ob sessed with the idea that the stranger was a messenger of death and that the order for a requiem was a warning that his own death was close at hand. During the last few days of his life, Mozart wrote some' of the best music of his career Into KIO '. 1 AJOt H nKTT 3FLL . 1 nwmm. 1 . r. '.. ' 1 1 1 I I - eix.". " V . .
