Judge Kellogg, that the is not the daughter of the wealthy Fame worths, and that thereore the can not thare in their large estate, un der the provisions of Luke Farns- north's wlli. Anne does not know who she Is ; shs anticipates comfort from Rob Crocker, her fiance and peneral manager o the Farnsworth canneries, however. She is telling htm the situation, sitting in his cor . tn front of the house they have ' built. ! " Chapter 11 CAD IN ACTION i"f TTHY, ha can't do a thing like j that," began Rob, belligerent Hr. "We'll take that to court. It won't hard to prove that accident lm ipalred hii reason. Why Anne, no father who adored his daughter as ILuke seemed to adore you would leave his own flesh and blood with nothing but a hundred dollars a month when he bad millions.'' i "I know Rob, but this was differ nt, Too see," she hesitated, because he herself did not clearly see what lay behind Luke's sudden desire to change his will, "you see, dear, I'm not bis daughter. I'm not even legally adopted. Rob," the sob she bad suppressed throughout the en tire morning burst In her throat, "Hob, I don't know who I am. Just nobody." ; Fumbling In her bag for a hand kerchief, shoulders shaking with sobs, she waited for the comforting arms. Startled Into calm by their absence she dried her eyes and looked at him. He was staring straight ahead, a baffled, bewildered zpresslon on his face. ' "Rob!" she cried, "don't, don't look like that." "It's been a shock," he muttered, "I ... I don't know what to say." Sbe must be understanding, must not crowd him with the questions, with the demands for reassurance of his love, which came rushing to her 'lips. i She must . . . perhaps If she thought of something else. He was 'lighting a clgaret Sbe heard the click of the lighter as It snapped lck n place. She would think of the house. She looked towards It. A carpen ter had appeared at the windows of 'the breakfast room. She thought of the curtains she had chosen tor them golden yellow, so that always the illght filtering through would seem like sunlight; so that always they would start the day off "Rob," she could be silent no longer, "say something, anything." "I don't know what to say," he re peated, then turned ,to her sternly. "Anne, you've known this all along. Tou've let me believe you were their daughter. "Rob, I didn't. I didn't know, didn't nave any Idea of such a thing until this morning." "So this is what Sharlee meant," he mused, "Lord, what a break!" Bit .terness now. He tossed the clgaret I away, reached for another, Ignored .the lighter, delved for a match struck It viciously, then crumpled I the slm under tense fingo-s. "What a brMk, he repeated. , "Rut Rob, I don't cf.re as long as i I have you. The oilier doosn't mat ter. Reraomb' 'now you've always said you r,sned I was poor so you conlq really care for me? "Care for you," he gave a short Isugh, "on three hundred a month. after what you've been used to? Good heavens Anne, have you any Idea what It costs to run a home?1 "But I'll have my allowance and I can cook, Rob. Maggie's been teaching me for years. And Mrs. Harney has taught me all about housekeeping, mothor Insisted should know so I could manage ser vants properly.' CHE talked In feverish haste and hated herself for doing so. Wss she trying to force Rob Into marry Ing her? He didn't seem to want her. Rut he must, she couldn't lose this lsst hold on happiness. "Rob. Rob. listen. I think Dad did this to give ns a chance to start out in married life the way he and" '"Oh no. he didn't." Rob was bit terlv angry, "I know what he did and I know why he did It. Wen. we'll see . . . tried with his last breath." Anne sat back In the upholstered seat, eat straight, chin firm above the sliver fox, only her eyes show ing the ansnlsh of the moment. If they were not to be married, what was to become of her? She couldn't live on at home. Aunt Charlotte would make that Impossi ble. Where could she go to live? Terror of the unknown before her he began to tremble. She mustn't break down before him. Mn hated women who cried.

(API An assassin's fire today critically wounded Premier Wang Chlng-Wel generally regarded as pro-Japanese leader, and one other official of the Chines nationalist government, at a meeting of Chinese leaders consider ing Japans advance In north China, Chang Cht, former president of the JudJdaj Yuan, was Injured slightly, I'd like to go home now, please, she said softly. Rob didn't answer. He started the motor, backed away, then with a savage meshing of gears sent the car hurtling down the steep hills to the great grey house which spelled a monument to all his hopes. I won't come In, he said as he helped Anne to alight. But I'll see you tonight?" the sud den doubt, caused Anne's roles to falter. 1 don't know Anne," be answered, frankly. "This has about knocked me for a goal. I'll telephone." She watched as he turned to the car. Not a word of sympathy for her. He went down the driveway and dis appeared around the turn without waving. Sbe mustn't cry. Sharlee would be watching from behind the curtains. Glad you're home, Miss Anne"; Buttons greeted her warmly as he opened the door. "Thank you. Buttons." Her voice trembled. "Will you come up to my room In half an hour and bring Mag gie, and If Mrs. Harney comes In tell her I want to see her, also." Realization of their Impending troubles made ber own of less Im portance for the moment. She must put off the luxury of tears until she had forewarned them of the change. Yvonne was watting for her, a vel vet lounging robe and slippers warmed, a hearth fire crackling. Maggie s sending up a tray. She says she has made the scones you like. And Mrs. Harney came In a moment ago and very mad about something. She has already had the bad words with Mrs. Farnsworth." Yvonne smiled In memory of the fray. "Mrs. Harney has such excel lent language weeth which to silence that woman." THE tray arrived with Maggie pro tnstlnff Vrtlllhlv hehlnd It. "Wnn't be bossed about by that woman. Miss Anne, she had the unhounded nerve to be tellln' me, Maggie Kearny, that I was not to bring this here, that you could come down for your meals. And I up and told her you'd have your meala whereiver you saw fit, that I'd carry tblra to the top of a flag pole It you took to sit In' there." Anne smiled at the , thought of Maggie scaling a flag-pole. "Thank you Maggie, but don't quarrel with them." "I won't be needn' to," Maggie de clared, "It's quarrelln' between thlnv selves thoy are. Mrs. Farloy, she wanted thlm scones, she said to make you toast she was that fond of scones, and Mrs. Farnsworth told her she looked like a Poland China already and she wouldn't be havin' the cook warkln' overtime tryln' to fill her up when It couldn't he did, and while they scrapped, I made away with the scones." Because Maggie was watching, Maggie who had made the scone and fought for their safe arrival, Anne ate them dutifully, wondering with each mouthful If the next would pass the painful constriction of her throat. The scalding tea made It possible, and when the cook had relaxed her vigilance, Anne turned to Buttons and Mrs. Harney who had come in. They gathered about her, wonder and worry In their faces, only Mrs. Harney realizing, In pnrt, what was coming. Anne told them of Luke Fnrns worth's will, snd of the smnl! part she played in It. "I wanted to tell you right away so you wouldn't Jeopardize your posi tions," she said. "It Isn't always easy to find employment and I'm sure, ss soon as I am away from here, you can got along with the two women." There was silence for a moment when she concluded, then Buttons spoke. "That wasn't like Luke Farns worth," he said. "Dlvll a bit like him," agreed Mag gie, "and his own daughter, too." "I'm not his own daughter, Mag gie," began Anne, then was surprised to see the big woman heave up from the chair she had taken and. arms akimbo, stride towards her. "Walt, Magglo!" The woman stopped before the authority In Anne'a voice. "I know what you think, you saw mo brought home from the hospital." She went on to explain and. as she talked, Maggie's anger at what she thought sn attempt to disinherit Anne died away and with Mrs. Har ney she nodded. "I remember the time," she said at length. "I remember the very time of her learnln'. Sick she was for a while, then she turned to you like she'd smother you with love to make up for the few days she'd neglected you. So that was It."
