SYNOPSIS: Anne Farneworth loet parente, fortune and lance in on grand cataetrophe when Luke end Luctnda Farneworth died with out having formally adopted her. She ie driven from home by her ' "relativee," and takee ehelter Kith ' Tecla Sorki, her old nuree. and othere of the Ftnnteh eettlement of Union Town. Vow the and "Aunt hiiea," Tecla'e eleter-in-law, are about to rent a email house from Teola and put tt into ehape for a home. They are exploring the empty place, now dilapidated and dirty. Chapter 21 NEWS FROM PORTLAND A ND we could hare a fireplace." Anne'i Interest waa awaken- tag; ihe walked Into the kitchen. "Llles, the view, I can see the bar and every ship that comes Into the rlrer from here." . "Can't eat view," came tie prac tical rejoinder. They continued their tour, found two bedrooms on the south side. Each gravitated to their choice, and chattering like magpies, made way to the front of the house. Anne lipped easily through the window, stood on the front veranda and looked up the short flight of steps to the street, thence to a forest of young firs emerald green under the beat of the spring sun, thrusting their tips into the deep blue of the ky. She could live here. She could work about the house, wear herself out physically and perhaps And some peace for her spirit in the re laxation which must follow. She had always thought she'd like to garden, she'd even tried a little. But the gar dener at her home had objected to her "messing" among his conven tional plots and she had given up. ' "It'll take soap and water, lye and disinfectant," Lllsa was saying from behind her. "Then we can start thinking of paint and lumber and wall paper. And then there'll be fur niture to buy and . . . Nlkki!" her rolce arose to a screech.- Anne turned quickly. Lllsa was half way out of the window, her feet on the front veranda, her head, with Its top knot pitched forward over one ye, staring out of a broken window Vane. Anno looked at the feet, blgh button shoes ending In black cotton stockings, then at the face." Not at Be, you owl," she . cried as Anne fought to keep from shrieking with laughter, "there in front of you." - Ann wheeled to the side and found herself face to face with John Neuman. "OOW do you do, I ah " -I Anne laughed at the ezpres llon on Neuman's face, as she turned to htm. She knew be was seeing a girl In a faded bouse frock, a tangle of curls, whipped about by a frisky wind, and that he had expected to lee a smartly gowned young wom an with long smooth braids. "The young lady's name Is Nlkkl Nielsen," said Lllsa, sharply. Anne saw the blue eyes twinkle, "Of course," he apologized, "nice to meet you, Miss Nielsen, yon resem ble a girl t once met, Ferhapa you'd bo willing to listen to a message I have for that girl." "I ... I'd be delighted," answered Anne, but the laughter had disap peared from her face. "My friend drove your car on to Portland, after I had telephoned Judge Kellogg. He arrived Just as the draymen were leaving your things at the Judge's house, so as soon aa they had left, Kellogg hired a truck and had Clem take them on back with him. I brought them along with me." "Tou mean they are here, now?" asked Anne In surprise. - "Judge Kellogg seemed to think you'd have less trouble taking them now than later. No one knows ret that you are not In Portland." "I convinced him over the tele phone that you'd be staying on here tor a few months." Neuman went on to explain. "You will be, won't youT" "She will be." stated Lllsa, posi tively. "We're going to take this shanty and make a home of It" Anne looked at the ramshackle bouse, lookod out on the water, out to the curving arm of Cape Disap pointment. Did she really want to settle hereT She looked at John Neuman; tall, sturdy, dependable, he too stood looking out on the water. She studied the sun-bronzed, lean (ace, the Immobility of his expression, and then he turned towards her end she caught the full force of his per sonality In the direct gate of his sailor-blue eyes. "Yes." she agreed, disturbed at the feeling of excitement which awakened her from the lethargy ol the past few days, "yes." she repeat ed. "I am going to stay." HAVING made her decision, Anne Joined Lllsa In telling John of their plans for the house. He lis tened Intently, then suggested they have an old country house-raising. "Closed season Is due In, next week, and most of us will have time on our hands. We'll all pitch In, tsar out and build In, and by the time the season's over you'll be settled In your home." Anne alsi discussed buying a gll- netter for the Sorkl boys. Again John listened, then after a tew mo ments of thought he spoke. "That wouM rob you of too much of your money. You're so accus tomed to having all you need, you may not appreciate Its value. Re member, there may be no more com ing, except for your monthly allow ance, and then they may be able to 2- 4 fx i til': A 3n Vi ' "A Jlr sly is j- 4Vtl lWk&rBSL i "Yes," Anne aoreed, "I am aolng to atsy" stop that at the final settling of tb will. "However," he paused and looked out on the water to whore the Heel was coming In from the mornlni drift, "you might risk the five hun dred on it You'd have better luck with the boys, too. You can tell them you'd like to Invest It In something, so that should you lose everything else, you'd still have the right to a share of their catch." "I'd like that," and now Anne'i eyes were shining, "and sometimes I could go out with them, couldn't 1?" "I'm sure you could, they mlghl even hire you as boat puller." "Whatover that Is," murmured Anne. "You'll learn," observed Lllsa, "and now let's get down to the house snd And the keys. I'd like to start working on the place right away." "We'll wait here," said Neuman, and Lllsa, after giving him a straight, bard look, stalked away. "I've a letter here for you, from Judge Kellogg," John said as soon as he heard a bang of a door, Indi cating Lltsa's arrival at the other house, "and If you'll excuse me, I'll try that window Lllia stuck In, and If I get through, take a look at the house." Anne took the letter he handed her, and hunVtJ down the hill to her wind-sheltered took. (Copyright. ttH. by Jeanne Bou-mani Anne raalliea, tomorrow, th. moaning of tho word "frlond."

PRESIDENT FAVORS BELOW 6 PER CENT WASHINGTON, Not. 14 (AP) The opinion that Interest rates on borrowed mur.ey should be slashed below fi per cent came today from President Roosevelt.

Asked If he had any specific rate In mind, the president said he certainly want ed to see it below 8 per cent. There was no direct Intimation that he expected to do anything to force lower charges, but his hearers gained the distinct Impression he thought the rates used by govern ment agencies should bring a further reduction.
