It reminded her of a camping trip

child's laugh sounded, to be hushed
abruptly. When she opened her eyes
again, an oblong of sunlight lay
across the plain pine floor, like a yel
low rug.
She arose and went to the window
and looked out. Tbe storm bad blown
over. Dolow, the roofs of Union
Town wero steaming in the warmth
of the early spring sun. Beyond, the
bay and the far waters of the Pa
cific were glinting, tossing foam,
capped waves.
rno wind was chill, so Anne
closed tbe window. She pawed
through her bag for a robe and had
donned It when Mllna rapped at the
floor.
"Coffee," she Announced, coming
in wttn a tin tray in ber band.
"Thank you, Mllna." Anne smiled
at her then, pouring cold water Into
a china bowl, gasped as she rinsed
her face In it. She thought of
yvonne and tbe warm bathroom:
thought of her again as she brushed
her long hair, honey-brown in the

but you'd look like . . oh. like Joan
Crawford, mnyhe."
"XJEVUR know myself," repeated
i( Anno, "tha'.'a an Idea."
She crawled back Into bed and
accepted tbe '.ray, and as she sipped
the hot black liquid, Mllna talked.
"We've got a name tor you," she
began.
"A name for met" questioned
Anne, and 'hen the remembered.
"What Is It?"
"Your name." Mllna said, hugging
her knees as she sat at the other
end of the bed," Is Nlkkl Nollsen.

It was so different from the other.
Perhaps she would bob her hair, let
it bleach out the way It would natur
ally. Only Yvonne knew the trouble
she took to keep It dark, because
Luclnda Farnsworth's hair had been
dark. Sunshine and wind turned It
tawny gold.
'I'll cut It for you," Mllna, offered.
"Mom says you'd better not go down
to town for a few days yet, and we
could get Violet Jokuunen to give
you a permanent If you could afford

LATER Anne sat before a mirror,
a sheet draped around her shoul

Clip, clip. Anne felt .that her past
life was being cut from her. Clip,
clip. She felt a frantic desire to stay
Mtlna's hand. She was acting too
hastily.
"You look better already," de
clared Mllna, stepping back and sur
veying her. "I left It kind of long but
the curl will take It up. And If you'll
let me 111 your brows like mine"
Later that day, after the obliging
Violet bad ministered to her, Anne
turned again to the mirror and
stared In surprise. An elfin face
peered out from a mass of curls; the
straight black, heavy 1-ows had
given away to thin bait arches.
She was pretty now, aa Sbarlea
had been pretty, but she had lost
that distinctiveness which had set
her apart from the average girl.
And aha was glad. A new face and
a new name, at this time, meant
more of a chance for peace.
Tbe children came In from school,
surveyed ber, decided the was all
right, and chatted with her half In
English, half In Finnish, much to her
bewilderment. But she learned much
of the household Into which she had
forced her way.
There were signs of rigid econ
omy, explained by Mllna In ber
frank manner. "Pa Just up and left;
left ma with the house and all the
kids and until we were old enough to
help she had a pretty hard time.
Aunt Lllsa'a salary helps. Both the
big boys, George and Orvl. are boat
pullers. They'd like to have a boat
of their own, then Len could help
when he's cut of school. In that way,
with me working In the cannery.
Mom could stay at home. But," and
she hunched her shoulders In a fu
tile gesture, "we won't ever get
enough to buy a boat and an outfit."
"Do they cost so much?" Anne re
membered a little of what Luke bad
said that night In Lee's library.
Oh they could start on five hun
dred. The cooperative cannery
would let them start with that, then
take the payments out of their haul."
