PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1935. Id HIGH COURAGE, BYHOPSIB: Jnn yamsworth has found the ineolence of her relatives almost as hard to bear ae the sudden and trapio death ot her parents. Sow Juno Kellogg, an old family friend, has told her that the is not the daughter of the Farnsworths, but the daughter of an unknown mother not even adopted. Unnhle to prove adoption, she ufll not inherit the large Farns. worth fortune. And Tom Farley, en of the relatives plans further persecution. Chapter 11 CAMPAIGN PLAN 17URTHER persecution? Anne stared at Ansel Kellogg In bewll' derment. "But what else can he do?' he asked. "He had planned to break all of this to you tomorrow at the reading of that part of the will ready to be made public. He had planned, I be Here, to do It In so cruel a fashion you would try to retaliate. "There Is a provision, made by Luke, that should any person con test the will, that person will be cut eft from any participation In the es tate. You wouldn't know that. He would. "And then there was the public- lty he Intended to hare directed to wards the clouding ot your name, er lack ot name. "Aside from that, he Intends to try to keep you from taking one article from your home. I can fore stall him there. I want you to make list ot everything you own from fur coats to bath soap, all monies you have spent on the house, on anything or anyone other than yourself. Will you do that?" "But there Is so much, you know mother and Dad wore both Inter ested In my new home and were constantly buying things and stor ing them In the house because our new home wasn't ready for them. I k n o w," she said, suddenly, "Yvonne, can list my clothing and personal things, and Harney . . . say," she began with sudden Il lumination, "this Is why Mrs. Farns worth fired Mrs. Harney this morning." She explained to, the Judge. "Ot course," he agreed, "Charlotte and Tom would be working together. By getting Mrs. Harney out of the way. they could question your right to things and should she appear tor you they could say she was do ing It In retaliation for being dis charged. "Well, we'll Hi that little game." be declared In triumph. "You have Mrs. Harney coma to see me." "She's down-stairs now." "Send her up. Then you'd better go on home and have Yvonne pack your clothes, and in the meantime I II try to figure out a place for you to stay. "You won't have to appear at the reading of the will, tomorrow. I'll represent you, that will save you from some of their deviltry. "Now, feeling all right? Think you'll be able to get home alone?" Anne nodded. "You've been a fine brave girl, Anne," Judge Kellogg told her In parting, "Luke would have been proud of you." Anne carried this thought with her. To have Luke proud ot her had always been her ambition. She cherished the thought no less now. She felt that he and Luclnda would have told her themselves had they not been sure their secret would never be revealed, and had they lived Tom Farley would have kept silent. ANNE drove methodically. She stopped at the red lights, went Into gear on the amber and released her clutch on the green, and all the time her mind tried to assimilate what she had learned In Judge Kel logg's office. A traffic officer, seeing the sleek black car pass with a pretty girl at the wheel, talking aloud to her self, looked at a nearby clock. Too arly In the morning for Intoil esnts; she must be angry. His wife talked to herself when she was In a temper: nevertheless he watched the car until It was out of sight. "I am not the daughter of Luke and Luclnda. I am not adopted. Tom Farley wants me to challenge the will, but why need he? If 1 do not belong to these parents, I'm not kin, and therefore I won't receive a share. He wants to disgrace me publicly. "Why? So I can't fight, I sup pose." She turned Into her own driveway, looked up at the big house which had been her home. Already It had taken on the look of an other's. And then she saw Rob's car In the driveway. ..ob. He would take care ot her. Hs would And her real parents, give her a name, and once she belonged to him, Tom Farley would be afraid to do anything. Tom waa a little afraid of Rob, she'd always thought She parked her car, and rushed up the steps, and Into the house. Rob waa In the library. He arose from a seat near the Are and Anne sped to him, found herself engulfed In tweed -clad arms. The blessed safety of them. "Let's get out of here ao we can talk," she said, and looked up at blm as If wanting visible assurance of his presence. "We'll go up to the house," he agreed, "this place has a thousand eyes and two thousand ears. Sharlee entertained me until she saw you coming. She thinks she's an animat ed mystery story. She kept saying, what a surprise you're In for.' Do you know what she means?" "Yes," answered Anne, as Rob tucked her under a robe In his car. "I'll tell you when we reach . . . home." Fine." He started the car and as they drove along he talked of the canneries. "Tom Farley tried to get hold of me a couple of times. He was at Westport, but I didn't know that until I phoned the office from the house there. Wonder what he wanted? Ho aald It waa Im portant. But then he thinks any thing he does or says is Important. "Anne, I'll be mighty glad when I can run thlnga my way. They're still raising caln down there about the ftsh-traps." Rob, you know what father said about that." "I know. But Anne, you'r'e going to trust my Judgment, aren't you? Wouldn't you think me crazy If I tried to go Into a motor race with a horse and buggy? Same Idea, when you re in a competitive business you have to use modern methods. Well, here we are." HE PARKED the car but made no move, and Anne, sitting beside blm, looked down on the house, white against the fir trees. Lonely looking thla day. A hammer was pounding somewhere Inside, echoing dismally. "Anne," Rob spoke cautiously, "wouldn't you feel more at home In the big house? You know we could sell this easily because It's a modest size and It won't be so easy to dispose ot the other place. It's bit old fashioned and all, and you'd like to keep the old servants with you, wouldn't you?" He had thrown his arm about her, and Anne, weary and heartsick, was curled Into tho nest It made, trying to find the strength she would need to face this last trial. 'About tho first thing I'd do," he went on, "Is run that crowd out. They act like they own the place." "They do," csmo In Anne's quiet voice. "They what?" "They own the place. Father, Luke Farnsworlh loft It to Uncle, to Lee and Mabel." Well, what do you know about that" Rob's voice was flat. He wait ed a moment, then, "perhapa It'a ust as well, I'd like to move down to Astoria for a whllo. Our house won't he dried out enough to live n for two or three months and that would give me time to stralghton things out at the canneries. I like Leo, but he's lazy and things are slack as the deuce. I'm going to have to Jump Into the har ness and work like the dickens It your Interests are to he taken care of properly." Rob," Anne looked up at him, anxious to catch each shading ot expression as he listened to what she had to say, "they are not my Interests." "What do you mean?" "Luke left the canneries and the rent of his Interests as an estate." "Anne, what are you saying?" Rob had token his arm from her houlders and had turned to look at her In Incredulous surprise. I am to receive only my usual allowance of one hundred dollara month." "There's something wrong, some place, Anne. Your father told me soon after we were engaged that he wanted me to lenrn the business thoroughly because If anything ever ppened to him, you would be left with the entire responsibility of the canneries. "He said he'd already made out his will, leaving you the only heir." He changed the will," the girl interposed. "He changed It while you and I were walling to see him. If you'll remember, that man who came out as we went In waa an at- ornry." (Copyright, list, by Jeanne Roumitl Ann tuttalnt, tomorrow, a itllt won blow.

And the one thing that Inspired them to ad venture more than anything else was a single book "The Book of Marco Polo." Thla book, strange as It seems, waa written In prison while Marco Polo waa a captive In Genoa, during the war between Venice and Genoa In the late 13th century. In It he told of hla amazing adventures In the Orient, of strange men and animals. of wealth ajid apices, end Mie .splendor of the court of Kublal Khan. Many thought the book w.-ia pure fabrica tion but a sufficient number of ad vent ure-mlndcd men took It seriously enough to change the map of the world. It waa this book that drove the Portuguese Into unknown waters around the Cape of Good Hope to ward Hindustan. Tales of Indian wealth set many expeditions In mo tion a trend that was climaxed near ly two centuries later when Colum bus net out westward across the ocean In hope of finding a short passage to the East.

In early days, so that people unfamiliar with figures could use it without confusion. The pasteboard bills contained sketches of pigs, calves, roosters and other animals each having a definite value In dol lars and cents.
