Luke Farntworth hot- had a violent Quarrel totth hit relative who at tist him there, hat delivered hit ultimatum, and with hit wife hat ttarted to drive back to Portland in a ttorm. Both ht and hit wife are killed; now Anne it rising to face another lonely day, with only the thouaht of her flanc4, Rob Crocker, to lustain her. Wo Chapter Eight MUTINY BELOW 8TAIR8 THAT would ah have dona with- "out Rob? Except for that drat moment when Sharlee'a hysterical voice had broken the newa ot the tragedy In ao cruel a fashion, he bad atood beside her. The; had rushed to Westpert, where the doctor In whose office Luke waa lying told them It was a matter of tiiomenta. Those moments had stretched Into hours aa Luke fought to live and longed to die. And then when the local attorney whom he bad de manded be sent to him came from be hind the closed doors, Anne with Bob beside her, went In to ait with dry eyea and courageous smile as he passed on to Join Luclnda. There bad been the double funeral and then the trying trip to Portland, to the house whlcb she had left with them; and there had been Rob, be side her, bla Arm arm about her shoulders, or gripping her arm, or Just by bis presence, assuring her of his understanding. Slowly the lash fringed barrier lifted, and the dark eyes saw a wide window silvered with the slant ot rain. SUhouet'ed before thla waa a basket of pussy-willows and the tight-budded sprays of Japonlca, and clinging to the stems were pale yel- low butterflies, poised as though for .flight. "Your bath, Mlsa Anne," prompted Tvonne, "and there la a telegram on the night stand. Perhaps, Meestalr Crocker comes back from Astoria, today. The florist boy said thees waa the last order be have left" Anne nodded. The three days Rob had been away had aeemed an eternity. But then she waa glad she had him to depend npon to care for her Interests. She wished Luke might know the valiant waj he bad stepped In and shouldered her re ponslbllltles; perhaps then be would rest more easily. Anne reached a too-slim hand with Its blazing solitaire for the yellow envelope, but took a picture from the stand. Instead Rob's photograph. She looked at the high forehead with Its crown of batr so black and - aleek It aeemed painted thereon, at the eyes with their characteristic narrowing when focused on any thing, at the lips, straight. Arm. He'd be able to handle the trouble at the cannery, all right She didn't know the nature of It because he had aald he didn't wrnt her worried. Per haps the wire would give her news of conditions, down there. She hoped Neuman wasn't Involved. Eyea still blurred by the deter mined pressure of lids. Anne read the telegram. Anne dear everything1 peaceful here now will leave for home early be with you aoon after you read thla atop only one more month and we will never be aeparated where 1 to you will go 1 will take your caree and try to make up In aome measure for your loia atoo ail my love Rob. ONE more month. Ann read the phrase over again. They would be married then, not at the Impres sive ceremony her mother had planned, but quietly. And then they would move to the cosier comfort of the new home on tbe heights and Rob would take charge of her Interests In the canneries. She swung out ot bed, slipped Into tbe quilted robe Yvonne held, stretched white feet for the quilted mules, and let her maid pin the tawny braids high on her head. "What dress. Miss Anne?" Instead of her heretofore listless "anything," Anne studied a moment Rob would be in town by noon at least He must be tired of tbe black she bad worn for the past three weeks. She would Ilk to wear tbe canary yellow wool her mother bad bought Just before they left on tbe trip. Luclnda would want bar to, but the relatives. Anne shuddered. Closed In her own suite ot rooms. It seemed that even there the horde which had descended npon the house pfter th funeral penetrated her privacy. Swathed In crepe, tiptoeing about th rooms, whispering and condol lng, they seemed to revel In their grief. "The dark grey wool, Yvonne," ah answered In compromise. She could pin a spray of Japonic on the pocket lapel. "Miss Anne," Yvonne was standing before her, black eyea shining with Indignation. "Mtaa Sbarle say I am .j uu tier nair. is tuees ui a neces sity?" A smile twisted the corners ot Anne's mouth and a twinkle ap peared In th ueptha of her brown eyes, "Don't you want to?" "NonF Th reply waa emphatic, "And Miss Anne, I wish now to know. Are these people to stay her moch longer?" "Why?" The amlle was visible now. "For thees reason. If they ara to stay on, I weesh to give notice." "Yvonne," Anne was startled, "you wouldn't leave me, would you?" She couldn't tell her maid ah waa as eager as anyone to aee Charlotte and Tom Farley depart for their respec tive homes, to say nothing of Sharlee. "I would not weesh to, but Miss Anna" She seemed to hesiUt. then went on reluctantly aa though hiding something she was too loyal to reveal. "They say they are not to go and Miss Sharlee, ah tell m last, night that ah would lira me ton being what ah call 'fresh' If It were 1 not that 1 do her hair bettalr than tbe beauty parlor." A tiny furrow appeared on Anne'a brow. "They're probably only wait lng the reading of the will. That: takes place tomorrow." YVONNE'S lips set In a straight! line. "You weesh to breakfast with them?" she asked, after a mo- ment "I certainly don't wish to," Aon admitted, and again aha shuddered j at th vision of altting at th long silent table with Button, his disap proving nose In th air, serving the doleful, black-clad relatives. "Then," Yvonne's quick smile twinkled, "perhaps I should breeng the tray to you?" "Will you do that?" Anne asked, aa It she were conniving with a fel low culprit "Weeth plalaure," agreed Yvonne, and hurried away. Idling in th fragrant bath water, Anne thought of tbe relatives and wondered at their peculiar assump tion ot possession. They treated ber aa It she were a tolerated guest She'd been too dulled with grief to car or remonstrate at first, but now, with th servants who had been in the family since she waa a child being Imposed upon. It would be well to come to a definite understanding with them. Well, one th will waa read and they knew bow much of th Luk Famaworth money wss theirs, they would be content to go home. Or If not she could tactfully close the house and run up to Mt Hood for a rest before her marriage. She dressed and found Yvonne ready with the breakfast tray spread before the open hearth Ore. When she bad done Justice to the meal, which bore evidences of the servants' affection from the bowl of hyacinths, supplied by Buttons, to ber favorite omelet made by Maggie, she found Yvonne studying her with a queer expression. "What la It Yvonne, what's worry ing your "We would wish to speak with you, all tbe aervants -it once, please." 'Of course, Yvonne, have them up , wait take tbe telephone call, please." Yvonne answered the telephone, then plugged It in near Anne and handed It to her. "Th: is Anne sneaking." "toisa Anne, this Is Judge Kel logg." Anne's face cleared of lu worry. Judge Kellogg waa a constant visitor st her borne In tbe old daya before Tom Farley married Mabel, and took over much of the Arm's legal business. 'My dear, 1 must see you right away. Can you come to my office im mediately?" Rob Crocker will be her shortly and ha" "No, 1 must see you flrit alone There Is something you should know before confronting your relatives or anyone. Can you slip away without their knowing where you are going?" '1 . . . well I could. Something I should know?" "Yea, Anne, something 1 know Luke would want me to tell yon privately. Something, my dear, whlcb will take every ounce ot coup age you possess -o face." Anne handed the telephone back to Yvonne, then turned to the other servant who bad entered. There was Buttons, a pathetic smile on his homely face: Maggie, pulling from her climb np the back stairs, and Mra Harney, black gown rustling. "What la this, mutiny?" she aaked lightly, trying to hide the apprehen sion Judge Kellogg's words hsd roused. fCopytigAf. if it, by Jeanne Bowmanl Anne makes e brave best ef s ba situation, Monday.

DIRECT AID FOR F PORTLAND, Oit. 39. (P) Farm families In Oregon, Washington and Idaho requiring direct aid during the winter month, will be cared tor by the Federal Resettlement administra tion under plana announced today by Walter A. Duffy, regional director. These families have been assigned to the rehabilitation division of the resettlement administration, begin nlnjt, November I. and will be provid ed with subsistence until plans can be developed to place them on a self supporting basis. Federal estimates show 175,000 ru ral families falling into this category, Duffy said. With the 350.000 families on the current rehabilitation rolls, the new load will increase the total to 635.000. "Existing state relief agencies will function as central application bu reaus," Duffy said, "to assign relief clients to the federal agencies. Only those rural families which can even tually be placed on a permanently self-sustaining basis will be assigned to the rural rehabilitation division. Families not accepted for rehabilita tion will continue to be cared for by other state and federal agencies." The rehabilitation program Involves a- farm program for each family, and a loan program to cover capital ex penditures such ss seed, equipment, stock, taxes and other necessary ex pense. 4 BUCKINGHAM'S HOME-MADE CANDY, Whip Cream Fudge.

When money wss needed for projects' deemed worthy by the state, permission was given to conduct one. Harvard uni versity got two buildings that way. Holworthy Hall on the north side of the Yard at Harvard university was built In 1813 from the proceeds of such a lottery. It was named for Sir Matthew Holworthy whose mm w 'flit . mi m bequest of 96,000 made In la to, was the largest single gift received by the college in the seventeenth century.

With only 3.000 soldiers and 160 knights, John marched out to meet the en emy and when the fight waa over, the routed Bulgarians were counting dead in 45 of their 48 squadrons Civilians and soldiers alike caught the spirit of their leader's actions and to complete the victory they swarmed over the enemy warships, capturing 35 of them.
