old nurse's numerous family. Anna
hns learned that she is not even the

brows and assttmed the Finnish
name of Nikkl Nielsen. Tecla's boys
have a areat ambition to own a
fishing boat.
Chapter 20
THE PAPER8
ANNE thought of this later as the
boys came In from the after
noon drift Two stalwart young
men, one of whom she remembered
as a tow-headed little boy, her own
age. the older as an occasional visi
tor at her home.
Orvi greeted ber shyly, Quick
recognition showing In his eyes.
George stomped about the kitchen
in his heavy boots, swaggering a
little to cover bis embarrassment.
Then they disappeared to reappear
later with hair sleek, faces shining
with soap and water.
And then came Tecla and Aunt
Lilsa, from the cannery.
Anne looked at the latter with
some trepidation. The woman was
gaunt, angular, with sharp features.
She surveyed Anne with a penetrat
ing gaze, and then she smiled.
From that moment on she had
Anne's devotion. Her sharp "Well,
Nlkkl Nielsen," only brought a smile
to the girl's face.
"Well, Aunt LUsa," ba retorted.
"Glad you're here child." greeted
the woman, "party tonight" She
dumped an armload of parcels on
the table, saving one to carry
away. "Have to give you a Finnish
welcome."
Mflna had opened a pasteboard
box and from tt had extracted a
frosted cake with Welcome lettered
on In pink candy.
Anne's eyes flushed with tears.
These strangers could do such
thoughtful things for ber, open their
crowded home to another, spend
their carefully garnered money to
show their pleasure at having her.
And up In Portland she caught at
her thoughts as If they had been
things, and thrust them behind her.
Nlkkl Nielsen was from California,
Dot Portland.
After dinner neighbors dropped
In to sample the cake, have coffee
and greet, with shy reserve Tecla's
brother's daughter. They spoke but
tittle English and Nlkkl spoke but
little Finnish. However their looks
were eloquent and when she went to
her room that night Anne felt
warmed by the unquestioning man
ner In which she bad been accepted
as one of them.
After Mllna bad brushed tbe new
curls and Tecla had arranged the
hm water bottle to her own satisfac
tion Llifla appeared, the package
Bliu had previously carried to ber
room In her arm. "Brought yon the
Portland papers," she said In ber
hard, uncompromising voice. "Might
as well know the worst"
Anna thanked her, and after the
door had closed behind all of them
she turned to the package, ripped
It open, and sat wltb apprehension,
eagerness and fear fighting" for su
premacy, LUsa had said she might
as well "know the worst"
SHE turned to tbe first nowapaper.
On the front page she found a
lay-out of pictures. Her own occu
pied the center and1 grouped about It
were pictures of Luke, Luclnda, Rob
Crocker and Sharlee, all Inset In a
large photographto reproduction of
the Farnsworth a Portland home.
Across the top ran a streamer:
"Debutante loses parents, fiance,
and fortune." Below this In smaller
print "Judge Kellogg deplores al
leged misinterpretation of will." And
In yet smaller print, "Servanta tell
couragoous way girl faces triple
tragedy."
It seemed queer to sit here, miles
fTom the pictured home, and read of
the principals in that sory. Familiar
faces, familiar names and yet It
didn't seem they belonged to her.
She read the story, went back and
read It over again. Kindness, un
derstanding and fairness In every
line.
Anne Farnsworth, popular debit
tint riaiitfliter of the lata Luke
nd Uiicltida Karnaworth, learned
today that ahe wai not their real
daughter, that ahe had not been
lejtnlty adopted, and that the for
tune believed left to her had he en
disposed of In a contrary manner.
film also learned or decided, ac
cording to Vvonne Cuiton, her
personal main, that aha would not
marry Robert Crocker, manager of
the Farnnworth Klahertee.
Thin knowledge, coming, to hei
within the span of a few ahorl
hours, waa accepted without tear
or recrimination, according to
Judge Kellogg, and to the Kama
worth servants.
According to the Judge. Luke
Fnrnawortti. fatally Injured In the
automobile wreck which claimed
hi a wire, lived long enough to
write a new will, which Instead of
laviP t,. ntlre estate to Anna
ran-- - did a previous will.

leaves Lee Farnsworth. a brother.
In control of the Farnsworth bual
neaa: leaves the Portland home to
Lee Farnsworth and to a alster,
Mabel Farley: and leaves Anna
Farnaworth an allowance of ona
hundred dollars a month, to ba
drawn from the estate.
At the end of five years, a division
of the estate will take place, at
which time Immediate members of
the family will receive an equal
hare.
According to Thomaa Farley,
brother-in-law of the late Luke
Farnaworth, and legal advisor of
the r matnlng members of the
family, Anne Farnaworth wiU not
hare In thla division.
Mr. Farley declares that the fir)
has never been accepted as either
a daughter or adopted daughter of
the Luke Farnaworths, that ha
knowa no attempt waa mad to
make her their legal ward.
Mr. Farley snys that ha waa
called In during the early houra of
the girl's life to draw up papers for
her adoption, but that her mother
died before these could ba com
pleted and Luke Farnaworth didn't
consider It of enough Importance
to search for relatives of the de
ceased woman. At no time, de
clares Mr. Farley, has the girl been
considered more than a ward of
the kindly couple.
Judge Ansel Kellogg, close friend
of the family, tells a different
story. He Insists that tbe Luke
Farnswortha looked upon Anne as
their daughter bo completely they
probably overlooked the fact that
others might not take the same
view. Kellogg says he believes Luke
Farnaworth changed his will at the
last moment because of trouble at
the canneries, which he did not be
lieve should be left to a young
woman Anna Farnaworth's age to
handle.
Other friends of tha Luke Farni
worthe concur In this view.
Asked If there would be a con
teat of the will, Judge Kellogg eald
there would not be, that Miss
Farnaworth said without bltter
nesfi that the money wna Luke
Farnswortha, to do with aa ha be
lieved best.
A second story brought a start on
surprise. Anne glanced at tbe head
Ing, then hurried to read tbe story
So Judge Kellogg had run Intc
trouble, and won, In his first rounl
with Tom Farley and CharlotH
Farnsworth.
Judgo Ansel Kellogg, upon try
ing to take from tha Luke Farns
worth home the personal effects of
Anna Farnaworth, popular deb
utante, now In retirement, waa
forced to use tha court order he
had obtained the previous day,
expecting It would be necessary.
Upon receiving word from Mrs.
Elizabeth Harney, until recently
housekeeper at tha Farnaworth
home, that aha was being kept
from turning the private property
of Miss Farnnworth over to dray
men calling for the same. Judge
Ansel KelloRg, accompanied by an
officer, called at the home and
forced tha present owners to re
linquish It.
Lxpectlng such a difficulty. Judge
Kellogg yesterday ordered Mrs.
Harney to list all clothes, furni
ture, linens and other things, pur
chased by the Luko Farnaworth's
for the home their foster daughter
expected to occupy aa the hrlde of
Robert Crocker. Ha also procured
depositions from sales people who
sold many of tha Items to tha
Farnswortha and who were ready
to awoar they had been purchased
for Mlna Farnsworth.
Judge Kellogg was also prepared
to asHlat Yvonne Ctixzon remove
trunks from her former mistress's
rooms without their being searched
by the present Inmates of the borne.
Anne laid the newspaper down.
"Oh I'd much rather have done
without them," she whispered.
"Thoy'll be like ghosts. There wasn't
a thing I hadn't dreamed over. Out
bless the Judge anyway, for fighting
for me.'
ONE) more story remained to be
read. Anne looked at It with
distaste, and yet, as Aunt LUsa had
said, she might aa well know the
worst. She road, and as ahe read,
fresh pain scared tbe wound Rob
Crocker had left In her heart.
Chin up, eyes dry, little Anno
Farnsworth, popular debutante, ac
customed to love and every luxury,
went alone Into a new world last
night
According to hor maid, Vvonne
Cutson, aha was deprived of even
the solace of knowing the parents
for whom aha had so sincerely
grelved were her own; aha was
taunted hy thoso who might have
shielded hor as being nameless; yet,
assured only of the comparatively
small allowance ahe had here-to-fore
used as pin money, aba faced
the future bravely.
Only the love and loyalty ot tha
servants who had aorved her, and
her foster parenta since her baby
hood, waa there to help her on her
way, for the man to whom stia had
been engaged until that afternoon
was en route to Chicago, on an un
expected business trip.
According to Sharlee Farns
worth. daughter of Luka Fame
worth's brother, Lee, Robert
Crocker, shocked at learning the
girl lo whom ha was engaged was
not the girl ha had thought her
(namely the real daughter of the
late Luka Farnsworths). left the
city on a short hunea trio, ask
ing her father to tell her ot tils de
parture and to tell her that they
would discuss the advisability of
Eolng on with their marriage, upon
la return.
According to Tvonne Cusxon,
Mlna Farnsworth, overhearing the
mesiMKC, doclded to release him
Immediately. This la continued by
letters received ny tne gins wno
were to have acted aa Miss Farna
worth's bridesmaids, to whom aha
wrote telling of her decision.
F.ach of the girls has tried to
reach their friend through Judge
Kflloift, offering their friendship
and the shelter of their respective
homr until such a time aa she
should decide upon her future.
The servants also, according to
Mlxa Cuxkoh, offered her their life
aavlng and their service, all of
which she declined saying she was
going Into retirement until aha had
completely recovered from the
hfk. of the loss of her foster par
