HIGH COURAGE UJmT Bowman,, BYHUP818: Horn that A . f'arnatcorth Ao found refuge t, the home ol her old Finnish ni.it Tecla Sorkl. near Astoria, she teelt safe from her "relatives." fhes last are apparently the heirs c Luke and Luoinda Famstoortl Anne has learned that she is their daughter alter all, and thtt she was not even adopted. Instinc telle her that Teela knows at lean part of the secret; now Tecla has asked if she may tell John Aeu man Anne's story. Chapter II NEW PLAN ANNE looked at the man stand ing before her and aurprlsed something In his eyes she had never seen In Rob's during the weeks of her bereavement, a tender com passion without pity. "I'd like to tell him," she agreed, wondorlng at the sadden trust she was placing In this stranger. "Always, we tell John," Tecla de clared. Anne remembered Tom Farley's ridicule of the fishermen's trust In John Neuman. She realized now that It was not because ha was college man, and spoke both the language of the fisherman and of the cannery owner, but because there was a sympathetic wisdom about him which Invited confidence and trust. "I need advice, Mr. Neuman.' Anne continued. "You need food, first," Interposed Tecla, and ladled the flsb stew Into heavy crockery bowls, cut thick slices of home made bread, disap peared Into a dark closet to return wltb a Jar of buckle-berry Jam. Anne surveyed her bowl wltb ap prehension, as she sat down at the table In response to Tecla's order. She dipped a spoon Into the savory mess, toyed with cubes of red sal mon, onions and potatoes which floated about In the creamy liquid. then tasted It. "Why . . . It's good," she ex claimed with such surprise that both John and Tecla laughed aloud. "You think Tecla, give you some thing not good?" Heartened by the food, Anne turned to the fresh ordeal of retell ing her story. But somehow, wltb the attentive John as listener, her troubles seemed of less and less Im portance. "And so," she concluded, "now that I know that I'm neither the daughter nor the heir of Luke Farns worth I want to hide away until I can decide what I'll do with my fu ture." "And this man, this Rob Crocker, what will he think of your running awny?" "Mr. Crocker understands," Anne said tonelessly, "he . . . that Is, we are not going to be married." "But " Neuman was Interrupted by Tecla, who spat out a word. Weeks later, Anne was to find that phrase in the little English Finnish dictionary she was studying, nut by then some of the heartache had been numbed by time and she knew Tecla had been right when she classified Robert Crocker as a "gold-digger." "But of course Farley and the Farnsworths are going to want to know whore you are," observed Neuman, after a pause. "They'll probably start a search for you If you don't tell them something." t hope not," Anne said, "and I don't believe they will. They're go ing so glad to be rid of me with cm-t demnndlng sny more of their wormly goods that they'll leave me alone." "T DON'T agree with you," be coun tered, frankly. "I believe they are going to want to know wears you are so they can watch you. You don't know the entire contents of the will. Of course they believe they can cut you off from a dauRhter's share, pro viding you haven't been adopted as a daughtor." "What do you mean?" queried Tecla with Interest "When people adopt a child, they go before a Judge, and papers are drawn up." "You sec. Tecla," Anne, explained further. "Tom Farley says there are no papers and none can be found, so It can't be proved that I'm legally adopted. Of course that won't mat ter for five 'years, and within that time I may be able to learn some thing more about my parents." "So," murmured Tecla. "Not that I care for the money," Anne hastened to say, "and If I have to fight for It. I don't want any of It. Now all I want to do Is rest and for get about everything that's hsp pened. But If you think they'll Iran me here I'd better go away." "No," Neuroin answered, too bur- "No, you're going to be safei , -era than almost anywhere else. ; Tecla you bad a brother south, or , rait or somewhere, didn't you?" "Yes." answered Tecla, "he Is far , iway, why?" "Couldn't you Intimate that Anne, here, was his daughter? Our people would probably know It wasn't true, but should anyone ask questions, they'd Identify Anne that way. "We're clannish people," be ex plained, apologetically, "but It you'll study our history you'll understand. From earliest times we were so sur rounded by enemies we learned to trust only our own people and to build np fortifications of silence against outsiders. They'll protect you wltb these. "Now the Lee Farnsworths, I understand, have moved to Port land and I imagine the Tom Farleys will spend their time there, also. Do yon know many Astoria people?" "No, I've scarcely been here since I wss a child. "Then we have only your car to consider. Of course they could trace that The woman at the service sta tion bad an Inkling of wbo you were when you screamed. She'd gladly tell everything with elaborations." He thought a moment ."How does this sound? You say you were born in Crescent City. Wouldn't It be the natural thing for you to go there In an effort to trace your parents? Then suppose I drive your car down there right away, to night, or rather this morning, as It's past midnight now. I have a friend in the garage business there. He can either leave It in bis garage, or drive It back to Portland over the Inland route. "In this way, If the car has been traced they will believe you drove along tbe coast road to Crescent City) and dlnapeared frjm there." A NNEJ didn't need words to ex- press her belief In the plan. She leaned back In her chair, suddenly tired. This man who had saved her from the river by his quick think Ing, would handle this new dllemms wltb equal skill. She need worry about nothing for a time. "Better you go to bed." observed the watchful Tecla. end hurried away to prepare her room. I don't know how I'll ever thank you," Anne ventured, as she accom panled John to the door, "and I dc so need to be free of those people.' You can thank me by not worry Ing while I'm away." returned John Then be smiled, caught her hand Ir a firm clasp, and hurried down tht stairs. Anne stood at the door a moment looking down on Union Town, scat' tered lights blinking In the dark ness. A far away clock chimed th hour of two. At two o'clock last night she had been lying In her bed reading to fill the empty hours. But she had not been altogethei unhappy. Rob and security la) ahead.

"Sleep well," echoed Anne, to her self. As If she could ever again sleep at all. Bits of sentences, spoken that day (or was It the pre vious day) spun through her con sciousness.

The First Federal Savings and Loan association of Med. ford, Robert E- Kyle, secretary, was one of the first to apply for such funds. Recently they were granted their application, and the requisition was number one, for the entire United States, while this distinction Is no particular honor. It Is unusual, and the company officials are quite well pleased.

'11(1' Strange as it seems, Orvllle Wright, the first man who ever flew an air plane, cannot now legally fly one he Is prevented by federal law which de clares that no person without a licence may fly. And Orvllle Wright does not have a pilot's license or student's permit of any kind. Nor, according to the registration section of the Bureau of Air Commerce In the Department of Commerce, la there any record of Orvllle Wright' ever having had any kind of a flying license. When the Wrights were doing their first flying and for more than 20 years afterwards there were no fed eral regulations oh flying. If you could fly you were a pilots-no tests, no permits, no qualification were necessary. If your ship could get off the ground, you could use It at your own discretion there wss no inspec tion for airworthiness. Thus Orvllle Wright's pilot days were over before there was any such thing as a pilot's license and today It Is against the law for him to oper ate the -very machine he and his brother Invented.
