PJGE TEX 3JEDF0RD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OTJEG OX, THURSDAY, NOYErBER 7, 1935. HIGH COURAGE. 8YNOP8IB: Anne Parnsworth has left the great houee in fort land which had been her, to find her old nurse, Tecla Sorkt, in As- torlo. Pot Anne has learned that the it not the heir of Luke and Lucinda Farnsworth, and that ehe eannot inherit their large estate. Tier "relatives" and her fiance hat-e deserted her. Bhe does not even knout her own name. Note John jicuman, a Finn who has done her a oreat service, has overtaken her ear to nive her the cap of her gas tank, which she had lost. Chapter 18 TECLA SORKI TTIS foes cleared of ths oil which J-ti.i? AitmivA htm nt thA service station. John Neuman stood boalde Anne's car studying her strained, pale countenance, plainly revealed in tha reflection ot lights from the dial board. "Miss Farnsworth," he began lowly, aa though reaching an Im portant decision, "could you do me a, great favor? 1 have to reach home tonight and Dick's car has de veloped Internal complications. It (works fine while we're near help, but when we reach the lone high way. It stops. If It wouldn't Incon venience, you" "Oh, It wouldn't." Anne didn't wait for bis explanation. She wondered If the relief she felt at having human companionship over the grade was through three thousand dollars worth ot net." High courage. Anne found her In terest diverted. She realized they had topped the ridge and were roll ing smoothly down the western side. She watched John Neuraan's bands on the wheel, big bands, sun browned, square tipped, capable handa. Occasionally she glanced up snd saw his profile In the reflection ot lights from the dial board. Strength In every line. She liked the way bis eyebrows swept up and out like the arched wings ot a sea-gull, and the way his hair reached back from a near center part In the same fashion, as though the brows bad set the pattern. Anne relaxed, eased back In the seat, ripped the small hat from her head and loosened the braids so they fell across ber shoulders school-girl fashion. SHE had learned lots about John Neuman In the last hour. She had glimpsed the effort It had cost him to go through school, though apparently he didn't consider It an effort. Summers on the water, winters In school, sometimes a lapse ot a year between terms, as he went north with the Alaskan packing fleet., "This summer I'm out to earn v ' 'jtfii z " J Pitt's i" h l l?t'S if Ay, I 9 ill ' iftt ' . ; ' v t Anne found she couldn't wait. evident In tbe tone ot her voice. Bhe felt she should feel resentment to ' wards this roan who bad caused trouble between Luke and Rob. But Luke had admired John, and Lu clnda had liked him. Perhaps Rob bad been wrong. "That's mighty nice of you," he returned, then told the boy in the jether car to go on, after retrieving his bag. j Turning to Anne, he laughed boy itshly. "Say, would you think It nervy ef me It I aaked to drive? I've never Owned a boat like this ... my she's a (beauty. Would you trust me at the iWheel?" i Anne took stlU-trembllng bands from the wheel and moved to tbe op posite corner of the seat. She found he was chilled through and reached for a robe to tuck about ber. John Neuman crnwlod undor the wheel, examined the controls, then put tbe gears Into place softly and easily and they slid away. "What a car!" he exclaimed In ad miration. "Look at her climb. Some time I'm going to have a trawler like this. I'll call her the Aalotar, sea nymph, that means, and she'll take the waves like this." He talked on as they whirled up the grade. The road seemed to drop behind like an unwound ribbon. The curves became shorter, sharper. He lowed the car's speed, taking each one easily, surely. ANNE tensed. These were the curves; which were the long ones, which the short? Which would be the third, the one where the "brush Is all flattened, and the little Br broken off?" She didn't want to know. 8he had to know! Had I.u clnda looked out on the darkness that moment ot her life, like she. Anne, was looking? ' "That curve!" The words epurtcd from her lips. "Which one Is It, the one that Dad" "Oh, we passed that long ago," John Neuman answered easily, winging the car sharply as the yel low eyes of a belated car speeding east rounded a cut In the cliff. "As I was saying, there wo were, storm riding In from the sea and not a chance to make the channel. We thought of culling our purso solne, but It takes high courage to hack money tor my own boat," he said, as they sighted the blue street lights ot Astoria on a nearby hill, "and after that . . . well, who knows. I'm am bitious In a way." He atopped, sud denly contrite. "Here I've talked a blue streak about myself and haven't even al lowed you the courtesy of one word. I suppose you're going to the hotel?" Anne couldn't toll him she under stood why he had "talked a blue streak," and bo she said, "I've been Interested In very word, It's made me forgot . . . other things. About the hotel I'm . . . I'm not going there. I want to go to Tecla Sorkl's. Do you know where she lives?" There waa no curiosity In his glanco or his answer. "Of course." "I don't want anyone to know I'm there. Do you suppose eho'U have room for me to spend the night?" "There's always room for a guest In a Union Town home," he an swered, and added, "would you like me to put your car In Dick Jo kuuncn's garage?" "If you would," she answered gratefully. She blessed him for ask ing no questions. They sped on through a sudden shower Into As toria, through Astoria and over the hill to tho main atreet of Union Town. It might have heen that other night, Anne mused as she saw figures scurrying Into doorways out of the rain. Neuman drove the car up the steep street and turned Into the shelf like street Anne remembered, drawing up before the wooden stair wny. "You'll want my coat." Neuman remarked, and unrolled a white slicker, which had heen strapped to his one bag. "Ifetler wait hero until I waken Tecla." But Anne found she couldn't wait. She heard Neuman pounding on the door, hcord a window open and a voire sny something In Finnish, then heard the window close. Slipping out of the car qulet'y she hurried up the steps, saw lights ap pear In the front windows and then a single light flare above the narrow stoop.

TO DEVELOP HUGE MONTREAL (UP) Canada, with Its almost limitless undeveloped gold and other mineral deposits, Is tn a strategic position to lead the world out of the depression, Robert Hunter. Santa Barbara, Cat., economist and sociologist, believes. Interviewed during a visit here. Hunter declared the Dominion could attain a standard of prosperity aa yet undreamed of provided that no un foreseen government obstacles are Imposed The problem, he said, waa to get these resources, especially gold, out of the ground, and the Canadian gov ernment should offer every Induce ment to foreign capital to come Into the country. "If you can get 100,000.000 a vearl of outside money to be spent In this country for exploration purposes, and another $100,000,000 to be used In de velopment of the deposits discovered, you would solve the unemployment problem In this country In no time.' he asserted. "And you would have 10 to 15 years In which to repay the In v fitment, which would have cost you nothing in the meantime." German state railway officials are proud of their record In transporting 1.700.000 persons to Nurnberg for the annual nazl convention, using 1,042 special trains..

It was she who almost singlehandcd fought the long battle for recogni tion of Thanksgiving day as an Amer ican holiday, and she raised the money for Bunker Hill monument. The movement to make Mt. Vernon a national shrine had lapsed to ob scurity when Mrs. Hale rescued it. In civic activities she was a successful advocate of elementary education, day nurseries, public playgrounds, civic health, and law against child labor. She sponsored the first medical mis sionaries, organized the Seaman's Aid society nil these things she did. and still had time to write a score of books and 100 poems, among them one of the best known in tha country "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
