Ash canneries but t not able to
fienelrate if. She t further die
urbed vhen her fiance, Rob Crock

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

Chief of Polic Harry Nile mdy mil

aald several ahootlni, two iMay.nB

Mayor Joseph Carson referred the
matter to the city council.
To ease the housing situation of

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. W '

Anne studied her Image In the
mirror.
Tecla wants to talk to us," he
answered. "Anne, Rob's due In the
lobby In a few moments. 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."

Mozart, prodigy, genius, master of
harmony and composition, lived and
died for his music to him little
else was Important from the time
he was a toddling child of two until.
33 years later, exhausted Hnd debt-
ridden, he died In his shabby home,
attended by his wife who didn't
bother to mark his final resting
place, and friends who let a rain
storm, keep them from hts graveside.
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. It Is about the com-

position of this Requiem that one
of the strangest stories of musical
history Is told.
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
