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

without first consulting vnn. I also

"Yvonno," she turned from hei
desk, "please take this box, which

house. I want theso other letters

In this envelope Is a check which
