"I won't stand for it!" Luke Farns

went on, "Lee, you know my views.

Anne stood by helplessly as

For once she agreed with Farley. II
explained Rob's feeling towards
Neuman on the wharves . . . and yet,
what was there In what her father
had said to arouse such anger In
Rob?
"Daddy," she looked up at him,
"please, I lore you both so much."
Farnswortb looked down and the
grim lines of bis face relaxed. "You
love us both," he repeated, "all right.
Goodnight Rob, Tom, thanks for the
car, Lee. Come on Anne, see mother
and me out to the car."
LUCINDA was waiting and the
three scurried through the rain
to the shelter of the car. "Don't like
to leave you troubled, like this Anne
child," Farnswortb said, "you'll
have to trust your old dad a little
longer. We'll talk more about this
when you reach home, and remem
ber Anne, say nothing to the others
about Tecla's visit."
"I won't, and Dad," she confided.
"I do trust you, and your Judgment,
even above Rob'e."
"Thanks dear, that sounds good to
an old man."
"Oh, I wish you'd take me with
you," she cried In sudden panic, as
Sharlee dancing.

the windows of the car. "Dad you will
be careful."
"Silly girl," her mother chlded,
"Imagine telling an Oregontan to

Anne kissed them both, clung to
them, releasing ber bold reluctantly,
then at her mother's warning not to
spot her gown, rushed back through
the rain to the veranda.
She saw her mother's profile, as
her father switched on the Ignition,
saw her father's arm chin as be bent
forward to release the brake. Rain
drenched shruobery sprang Into In
dividual shapes .s the headlights all
verod too darkness. The car moved
on until only the ruby tall light
twinkled behind like a malevolent
eye.
Anne stood a moment listening to
the receding sound of the motor. A
walling wind tore In from the water,
then faded to a soft rustle among the '
firs. "Ghosts of dead ships, swishing
their seaweed shrouds," thought
Anne, and shuddered. "I'm getting
morbid," she whispered, "better talk
to Rob."
Slio went Into the house to find
Rob and Shnrlee again dnnclng to
radio muslo. She encountered Mllna
Sorkl, putting on her coat In the side
hall.
".Mllna, If you'll wait, Rob and I
will drive you home."
Rob seemed more than willing to
go, and diplomatically persuaded
Shnrlee not to accompany them.
They made the drive quickly,
Mllna shyly answoring questions
apked by Anne. Rob concentrating
his attention upon driving In the
storm. Down through town they

a barrier between Astoria and the
Finnish settlement of Union Town.
