HAPPY FAMILY
TPHE drlva was ataort The car
eoon moved up the shrub-lined
driveway to the house where Anne
had epent the early jean ot her
life and upon which aha now looked
with affectionate Interest.
Sharlee was at the door to meet
them, bracelets, necklaces, dangling
ear-rings and curls fluttering and
langllng with her animation.
"Where's your mother7" de
manded Mrs. Charlotte Farnsworth,
ippearlng from an Inner room, her
perpetual look ot discontent more
leeply etched on her almost mascu
line features than ever.
Anne explained that she had heen
letained by her father, who was late
In getting In from the cannery.
"Lee got In early enough," Mrs.
Farnsworth countered. "I don't see
Sharlee was at the
hat Luke thought ha had to do. He
ihould know by thla time that Lee's
eapable of managing affaire down
here, Portland too for that matter,
and without Interference."
Anne was saved the embarrass
ment ot a roply by the sudden
switching of the conversation.
"Beautiful cape," observed Mrs.
Farnsworth, grudgingly, "must have
cost a fortune. Milna" a slim, pale
blond girl came In from another
room, smiled shyly at Anne, and
took the cape.
J'Anne, you do wear tbe plainest
slothes," she went on aa the smartly
designed coral frock was revealed,
"and with all the money you have to
apendl But then, plain girl, plain
clothes. Let's go In the living room.
I left a platter ot hori d'oeuvro, on
the tablo beside Mabel, and at tbe
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
lowed her aunt In to where Mabel

Farnsworth and faintly resembling
ber own father, vaa nibbling on tbe
last toasted oblong.
"Lee Just Insisted I take It," she
apologized undor the condemning
Ken of her sister-in-law. "Hello,
Anne, pretty dress. My but you're
thin. Ought to cat more. But then,
girls in love, eh, Tomt Remember
how thin I was before we were mar
ried?" A NNB, lips twitching, caught the
sardonic look Tom Farley cast
his wlfo, before turning his atten
tion t her. "1 supposo we'll have to
wait dinner until the millionaire
Farnsworths arrive." he observed
bltlngly, then turned to Lee, who had
answered the telrphone and was now
looking at them with a bewildered
expression which sat Incongruously
on his fat. pleasant face.
"Luke called," he explained, "says
he's leaving for Portland right aftor
dinner, wont's to use my cnr."
Anne listened to ber uncle In fresh
consternation. What had happened
to cause Luke to rush back to Port
land in such a storm?
The others wondered thi same
thing and piled Anne with questions

which they soon realized ah could
not answer.
Nor did they gain more satisfac
tion after the arrival ot the Luke
Farnsworths.
"Going on business," waa Luke's
terse reply to the storm of queries,
and with that, they had to be satis
fied.
The dinner wasn't a pleasant af
fair. Luke, obviously upset over
something, paid scant attention to
the remarks addressed to Dim, and
Luclnda, trying to defend or medi
ate, seemed as distrait aa he. 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, ahe
found he was studying her parents
with a grim, suspicious air.
Only Sharlee seemed at ease. Shar
lee and Milna. Bbarlee's high laugh
echoed above the monotone ot talk
and occasionally her rapid staccato
chatter caused the others to pause
and listen.
Anne wen her aunt's displeasure
by conversing with MUna as she
served, and was relieved when the
dinner waa over and they were al
lowed to repair to the living room.
"Anne," Luke Farnsworth beck
oned, "and boys, Lee, Tom and you.
Rob. I want to talk to you all In the
library."
door to meet them.
HE waited until the men were
seated and Anne perched on his
chair, then he began. She listened
with growing wonder at his obvious
displeasure.
"Anne," ho said, "I'm sorry I
haven't taught you something about
the business which provides you
with your livelihood. You'd under
stand better what I'm about to speak
of to the boys. However" he turned
to them, "I'm not pleased with the
way things are being handled down
here.
"You all know my vlewa on fish
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 the fishermen.
"Now, Anne, this Is the way things
are handled among the cannery men.
Each cannery either owns Ita own
boats which are used by specific.
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 aa the canneries depend upon
the fishermen.
'The Farnsworth Fisheries have
always dealt with the Finns. 1 lived
among these people aa a boy and
learned to appreciate their Integrity
and dependability.
"I've prided myself upon match
ing these qualities.
"Now, Anne, there are certain sea
sons when the run ot fish is greater
than others. There are also closed
seasons, a time allowed the fish to
pass unmolested up the river to their
spawning grounds. During this
closed season, the fishermen mend
their nets and their boats, and our
canneries put the equipment Into
perfect running order.
"We are nearlng a closed season.
During the past tew years there has
been a shortage ot fish, and every
thing points to a record spring run.
The spring run, you see, Is the great
est of the year.
"Sometimes, during a record run,
the canneries are over taxed."

Blesbroeck, discoverer of the new
comer, who has computed the comet's
path.
"At present.' Van Blesboreck said.
"Its distance from the sun la almost
double the distance between the earth
and the sun. but on Dec. 0 It will be
only one and one-fourth as great."
The Bleaboerck comet, the professor
admitted. Is somewhat unorthodox as
comets go. Instead of keeping Its tall
conveniently pointed away from the
sun, It makes the appendage describe
a 90degree angle with the line Join
ing the comet and the sun.
But you'd never know ' it, Bles
broeck said, In effect. "Ita brightness
