stared at Ansel Kellogg In bewll'

he asked.
"He had planned to break all of
this to you tomorrow at the reading

made public. He had planned, I be

"There Is a provision, made by
Luke, that should any person con

would.

"She's down-stairs now."
"Send her up. Then you'd better
go on home and have Yvonne pack

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."
