PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGOX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1935. MS HIGH COURAGE, (Str..py.toa Bowman, SYNOPSIS: Anne rarnstoorth has learned that because her toeter parent!, Luke and Lucinda Fame vorth, nave failed to adopt her, she mill not inherit their large estate. Her "relatives'4 plan to drive her from the Famsworth house, and Rob Crocker, her fiance, has been turprtsingly cool and uncommuHt cative just when ehe needed him most. But she hopes that tonight he will be himself. Chapter 14 ROB'S VISIT nUT If she was to aea Rob tonight - aha must relax or che'd look wretched. Anne lay on the sofa and waited for aleep. She had slept only fitfully since, that first dreadful night. Now she dozed, tossed, dozed again. When she awakened the storm had stopped. She arose, went to the wide window and looked out The sun had broken through the western clouds and was sending the last shafts of light east, to where Mt Hood's snow covered peak gleamed lemon-yellow. She looked down at the city roofs, shining with their late drenching at the curving line of the river, visible here and there where the wharves were low. And then she looked down at her own yard which sloped to a ravine, and caught sight of a familiar car on the drlvoway which rimmed tne r. vine. Rob's car. He was there and ehe had left orders not to be dis turbed. He hadn't waited to telephone. He had rushed to her. Quickly she brushed her hair, wound It In pin- wheels over her ears, slipped Into a grey dinner frock and hurried out on the long balcony which circled the hall, Rob was just leaving. She started to call to him, but noticed be was talking to her uncle. Anne stepped to the railing, then caught sight of Sharlee. She couldn't call with that girl listening avidly to every word. "I am sure you can explain this to i Anne." ' The girl on the balcony straight ened. Was he leaving without having seen her? "I feci like a rotter about It, but Mr, famsworth, It's better to be honest. It's as though I'd fallen In love with one person, then found that person didn't exist. Under- atand?" Lee Famsworth nodded his head heavily. "Reckon you mean you felt knowln' her blood kin, you'd know her. Not knowln' them made her strange-like." "That's It That's It exactly. Tell her I'll write her as soon as I reach Chicago, and when I return I'll look her up and we'll know whether or not It's best to go on." He was going away; going to Chi cago and ha wasn't taking her. Ho was leaving her to face everything alone. He waa going without even aaylng goodbye. "Rob." She whispered the nam In an Incredulous tone. "Rob!" she muffled the heart-broken cry with her hands as Sharlee stopped forward, passed an arm possessively through Rob's, and wont with him through the door. ANNE stepped back into the ahadowa ot the tipper hall. She heard the door click, heard Lee Tarnsworth go Into the library, and beard the clink of brass as he pulled the portieres to. She felt cold, numb, wondered If she bad strength enough to reach her room, to turn the key In the door. "Miss Anne!" Yvonne, who had lipped Into an ell ot the upper hall when Anne came out on the balcony, rushed forward, "Oh, Miss Anne." Later Anne remembered being pro pelled Into her room, Yvonne rub bing her feet, Mrs. Harney bustling In to hold her head and smooth the hair back from her brow, Buttons standing Inside the closed door al ternately Insisting that Maggie go below and complete dinner prepara tions, or asking Harney If there wasn't something, anything, he could do. "You're coming home with us, lamb." Mrs. Harney, Informed her. "Duttons and I've talked It over. Ro tweon us we've money enough for one ot those little chicken ranches out beyond Mt. Scott, so we're mar ryln' and we'll look after you." And when the others had gone be low. Yvonne came forward with her suggestion. "1 did not tell you, Miss Anne, but Laucette D'Orsay, she It Is who is cousin to my papa, haa ask me to come to Hollywood. She says I can quickly find work with her. We will go. I will work for her until she can find the way to make you the star." "That's dear of you Yvonne, but I , couldn't let you do that I'm glad, though, that your cousin can help you find a nice position." Even Maggie lumbered up after dinner was safely served. She brought with her a thumbed brown bank book, showing the sum total of her savings. "Yours to use. Miss Anne. I'd never're had thlm It Mister Luke hadn't started this. My sister Nora's a widow and that anxious tor me to be livln with her these past few years, so I won't be needln' It" Warmed by their love and relieved to Dad each one with a ready haven, Anne faced the realization of Rob Crocker's actions. She could have forgiven him anything but having discussed his feeling for her with an other person, and before Sharlee. The burning humility ot that waa something she couldn't overlook. And he wouldn't face her; couldn't face her. He wasn't man enough. I should be glad I've found him out in time. He said 'It'a better to be honest' Well, I can be honest too. He tell In love with the heir to Luke Farnaworth fortune and wbenyhe found I wasn't the heir ... oh Rob " She bad been atandlng at the win dow, looking down on the city. misted with twilight, sparkling with night lights. Now she swung around into the room. "I've got to get out of here. I can't stand It any longer." There was a light knock at the door. She opened It and found But tons, a truly comical look ot concern on his face. "Mrs. Famsworth says you are to come down and have dinner with the others; that there are to be no more meals sent up here. But Miss Anne, If you want them they'll be served here." "I don't, Buttons, I couldn't eat another meal here. I'm going out. When Yvonne finishes her dinner have her come up, will you?" AS SOON as Buttons closed the door, Anne went to her desk. She'd need her bank book. Yvonne could burn her personal letters and save the tew rocelpts she had filed there; Harney would have the most important ones. There were notes to pen to her six best friends, girls who were to have been her bridesmaids. She owed It to them to tell thorn what had happened. iirlet notes they were, and Anne wrote them with her lips sot In a firm, straight lino "find I am only the foster daughter ot Luke and Luclnda Famsworth, and as such, do not share In the will. Under the cir cumstances I have decided to break my engagement with Robert Crocker. Forgive the brevity of this, I will write you later when I know more of my future." Yvonne came In and Anne turned to her. "Pack my overnight bag, and one ot the larger ones. A couple ol street dresses and hats and lingerie. Then my trunks, and Yvonne, there are several evening frocks you're admired; keep those for yourself. Better get them out ot the house to night." Anne dressed In a warm atrcet suit, then sat down to write her last note, this time to Judge Kellogg. In her moment of longing to escape shi had decided upon her course. Dear Judge: I'm sllpplns awar from here tonight, but please do .not worry about Ina. 1 feel niv old nurse, Teds Sorkl, of Astoria, knows something about me. I nm frolng to be,' ami I am depending upon you to keep my whereabout a eecret. Vou are the only poraon left whom I can trust. I'lenee aend frr my trunks and keep them uith the noxes yon have t-iltf llurney to park. The list of trunks and the key are endowed. I Will aend ,'or them a soon aa I know where 1 will aettle. Kneloaed. also, la the ring Robert Crocker gave me. rienae return It to him for me. 1 have not acen hint to talk to alnce 1 told him what you told me.

I will promise to do nothing definite without first consulting vnn. I also promise to do nothing that T.uke and l.uolmla would he ashmned to have me do. Sincerely, Anne. "Yvonno," she turned from hei desk, "please take this box, which contains a lettor to Judge Kellogg, to his home as soon as I leave thi house. I want theso other letters mailed special delivery. In this envelope Is a check which will cover your fare to Hollywood and give you enough to live on until your cousin finds work for you. Send me your address through Judgi Kellogg."
