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.

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

NEIGHBORHOOD FOOTBALL

Lotteries frowned on, forbidden
and outlawed today were once a
very respectable way to raise money
in the United States. 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. Another building at Har
vard. 8 to ugh ton Hall, just north oi
Holden Chapel, was built seven
years earlier, most of the money
for It coming from another state
authorized tottery.
Aged and virtually retired, a man
notorious for his love for esse and
Ins m Ion. John of Brienne was
roused to action when a horde ot
100,000 Bulgarians marched on Con
stantinople and 300 enemy warships
Jammed the adjacent waters. 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.
