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.

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

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..

Sarah Josephs Hale la America's
own "first lady of achievement."
Crowded Into her busy career, which
was not started well until she was
past 40 and a widow, were activities
which were to be the foundations of
many of our Institutions and customs
of today.
She campaigned for Intellectual ad
vancement of women and fought to
give them property rights, physical
training, better pay. Instruction In
domestic science, snd positions as
teachers In schools. Vaasnr college
owes its foundation In part to Mrs.
Hale.
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."
Hydrogen ts lighter than air. and
when It Is "poured" Into a container
the container Is Inverted. As the hy
drogen enters It rises to the top, dis
placing the air. A more practical
method Is by displacement of water.
In this way the container ts first
filled with water, then inverted while
the opening ts held under water. Hy
drogen la bubbled up through the
water Into the inverted container,
and aa it rises displaces the water.
