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

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

Good heavens Anne, have you any

"But I'll have my allowance and
I can cook, Rob. Maggie's been

CHE talked In feverish haste and
hated herself for doing so. Wss

Rut he must, she couldn't lose this

"Rob. Rob. listen. I think Dad did

'"Oh no. he didn't." Rob was bit

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

CHINESE PREMIER
SHOT BY ASSASSIN
IN RADICALS PLOT
Copyright, 103S. by the Associated
Press
NANKING. China. Nov. a. (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."

Strange as It seems, the most co-

way to put out a sulphur fire la by
smothering It this can be done with
dirt, If necessary, but It . Is more

Pensacola, Florida, was In the
hands of the Spanish in 1710 when
the French stormed the fort and
captured the city. Not many weeks
later the Spanish returned and took
the city by force from the French,

had been driven out again by the
French In whose hands It remained
until a treaty of peace was drawn
up between the two warring powers.
