soon moved np the ahrub-llned
Jrlveway to the bouse where Anne
had spent the early yn of her
life and upon which she now looked
with affectionate Interest.
Sharlee was at the door to meet
them, bracelets, necklaces, dangling
tar-rlngs and curls fluttering and
langllng with her animation.
"Where's your mother?" de
manded Mrs. Charlotte Farnsworth,
appearing from an Inner room, her
perpetual look of discontent more
deeply etched on her almost mascu
line features than ever,
Anne explained that she had been
letalned by her father, who was late
In getting In from the cannery.
"Lee got In early enough," Mrs.
Tarnsworth countered. "I don't see
Sharlee was at the

ihould know by this time that Lee's
capable of managing affairs down
here, Portland too for that matter,
and without Interference."
Anne was saved the embarrass
ment of a reply by the sudden
switching of the conversation.
"Beautiful cape," observed Mrs.
Farnsworth, grudgingly, "must have
eost a fortune. MUna" a slim, pale
blond girl came In from another
room, smiled shyly at Anne, and
took the cape.
J'Anne, you do wear the plainest
clothes." she went on as the smartly
designed coral frock was revealed,
"and with all the money you have to
spendl But then, plain girl, plain
clothes. Let's go In the living room.
I left a platter ot hart i'omvres, on
the table beside Mabel, and at the
rate she was sampling there won't be
one left. That woman could eat her
way through a cracker factory."
Anne smothered a smile, and fol

"Lee Just Insisted 1 take It," she
apologized under the condemning

Anne, pretty dress. My but you're
thin. Ought to cat more. But then,
girls in love, eh, Tom? Remember
how thin I was before we were mar
ried?" A NNB, Hps twitching, caught the
sardonic look Tom Farley cast
his wlfo, before turning his atten

Farnsworths arrive." he observed
blttngly. then turned to Lee, who had
answered the telephone and was now
looking at them with a bewildered
expression which sat Incongruously
on his fat, pleasant face.
"Luke called." he explained, "snys
he's leaving for Portland right after
dinner, wnnt's to use my car."
Anne listened to her undo In fresh
consternation. What had happened
to cause Luke to rush back to Port

which they soon realized she could
not answer.
Nor did they gain more satisfac
tion after the arrival of the Luke
Farnsworths.
"Going on business," was Luke's
terse reply to the storm of queries,
and with that, they had to be satis
fied. The dinner wasn't pleasant af
fair. Luke, obviously upset over
something, paid scant attention to
the remarks addressed to him, and
Luclnda, trying to defend or medi
ate, seemed as distrait as be. Anne,
observing them, was uncomfortable,
and when she caught an occasional
glimpse of Rob, seated on the same
side of the table but below her, she
found he was studying her parents
with a grim, suspicious air.
Only Sharlee seemed at ease. Shar
lee and MUna. Sharlee's high laugh
echoed above the monotone of talk
and occasionally ber rapid staccato
chatter caused the others to pause
and listen.
Anne won her aunt's displeasure
by conversing with MUna as she
served, and was relieved when the
dinner was over and tbey were al
lowed to repair to the living room.

oned, "and boys, Lee. Tom and you.

door to meet them.
HB waited until the tnm were
seated and Anne perched on his
chair, then he began. She listened
with growing wonder at his obvious
displeasure.
"Anne," he said, "I'm sorry I
haven't taught you something about
the business wblch provides you
with your livelihood. Vou'd under
stand betten wbat I'm about to speak
of to tbe boys. However" he turned
to them, "I'm not pleased with the
way things are being bandied down
here.
"You all know my views on flsh
traps. You know I'll consent to buy
from them only after the supply of
fered by the fishermen has been ex
hausted. And yet I come down here
and learn that you are working with
the trap owners, giving them pref
erence over tbe fishermen.
"Now, Anne, this Is the way things
are handled among the cannery men.
Each cannery either owns Us own
boats wblch are used by speclflo
groups of fishermen, or they cater to
groups who serve them and no one
else. These fishermen depend upon
the canneries to buy their haul, as
much as the canneries depend upon
the fishermen.
"The Farnsworth Fisheries have
always dealt with the Finns. 1 lived
among these people as a boy and
learned to appreciate their Integrity
and dependability.
"I've prided myself upon match
lug these qualttlea.
"Now, Anne, there are certain sea
sons when the run ot fish la greater
than others. There are also closed
seasons, a time allowed the flsh to
pass unmolested up the river to their
spawning grounds. During this
closed season, the fishermen mend
their nets and their boots, and our
cannerlea put the equipment Into
perfect running order.
"We are nearlng a closed season.
During the past tew years there has
been a shortage ot flsh, and every
thing points to a record spring run.
The spring run, you see, Is tho great
est of the year.
"Sometimes, during a record run,
the canneries are over-taxed."
