PAGE TWELVE Hi HIGH COURAGES: by. Jaann SYNOPSIS: If Anne Farnaworth afi been legally adopted by her 'uurenta," aha would have inher ited their larne fortune. Ae it worked out, however. Anna's rela- tivet drove her from home after the Farnawortha' audrten deatha. Sfia ia now with the family of her old nurae. trrla fiorki, in Union Town, planning to try to find out who ahe really fa. and what eurioua plan had been in Istk Farnau-orth'a mind when ha wrote a will which apparently hue rut hie toater douohter out of any share in hie wealth. Chapter 24 BREAKERS AHEAD A NNE awakened earl)' the next morning, but even then found the two older boys Just tearing, and with them John Neuman. "NIkkl," he eald, "will yon run up to the bouse with me a moment?" Together they climbed the stair way, to stand at the top, wind whisking about them, tuning the flra behind them to a whispering orches tra, billowing clouds until they floated along the horizon like bal loons. "1 forgot to tell yon I'd stored your things in our basement, and sent the truck on to Portland. I imagined we'd have more room than Tecla, and 1 knew the house wasn't ready for tbcm, yet." "That was nlci of, you," Anne as lured him, and waited. He badn't 111 her up to tell her Just this. "Nikkl. I talked to the fishermen 't night. 1 don't like to bother you so soon, but do you happen to know whether Luke Fornsworth reached a decision on the fish traps?" Anne was able to answer this promptly. "As far as be was con cerned, there was no decision to make. He didn't know nntil he reached Astoria, that there was a change In his method of running things. "Ho talked to Uncle Lee, Tom Far ley and Rob pretty straight. He said he'd always kept faith with the men who'd worked with him, and always would. Why, what has happened?" "Crocker cama down a few days ago. I believe he returned the morn ing before you came hero." Anne nodded, and a abarp pain cut through her at the memory of the day of his return, proving she was still able to suffer st mention of his name. "He said he was now in charge of things and he Intemlnd running them in the modern way. That whoever brought his haul to the welgh-ln first would make the sale, trap or fishermen. "However, the men say they're forced to wait until the trap barges are cleared, even though the fisher i men are there first. "It doesn't matter so much now, as the cannery can use everything brought In, but with a good run I'm afraid there'll be trouble." "But John," Anne seemed as un- - conscious of calling him by his first ' name as be bad been of calling her NIkkl. "Knowing this so far In ad vance, can't they sell to other can neries?" "That Isn't so easy. We've more ' fishermen than nwessary, about like every other line of business. Of ' course the number of boats is con- trolled by t'ae government, but even ' at that, without proper distribu tion of boats serving designated can - nerles, some fishermen would have . to suffer. "Naturally none of the men work , trig in harmony with other canneries . Is going to step out nnd give the old Farnsworth fishers their place." ' Suddenly Anne remembered the letter from Judge Kellogg. He said there had been something In the wl'l concerning the fish traps. Surely, awlth Luko'a views on the subject. It would have been an order to give the Iflshermon preference. " JOHN." she said, "tell them to rest easy. Don't you see. Rob thought he was going to control things for me and that was what gave him the authority he used on 'that trip. Since then he has learned Cncle Lee Is in charge, and Uncle Lee Is working under written orders left by father, by Luke." "I hope you're right, because" " Tou mean you're afraid of trouble between the fishermen and Tom and Rob and Uncle Lee?" She felt John was biding the real cause of the disturbance. "Yes, I am." he answered, "and I wish it would either happen before t leave for Alaska, or bold up until I return. The fishermen will be the ones to suffer because they have no legal right to Interfere." , "Then you don't believe thej will .obey the Instructions Luke left?" ' John looked down kt her. "Know Ing them. NIkkl, I'm afraid that un .less there Is penalty attached to their defying these Instructions, 'they'll ignore them. Lee will be will KILL INDICTMENTS KLAMATH FAMA, No?. 16.

Bowmio, ing to take the word of the other two men and" be shrugged his shoulders and tossed his handa out, palma up. "I wonder," mused Anne softly, "I wonder if Luke anticipated trouble with Rob Crocker, before bis death?" "I've wondered that loo. Well. I must burry, or that brother of mine will lire me. I hope I'll see you this evening, but tomorrow I'll be over to help with the house." "That's nice of you," Annt answered, wishing he would tell her mors of conditions among tbe fisher men. Then she looked up at him and smiled. "Only, I'm afraid I'm learn ing to depend upon you too much, John." John, who had started down the steps, paused and looked back. "Not too much to please me, NIkkl," he re torted, "I wlsb . , , but it wishes were fishes " "Rob and Tom would invent a new kind of flshtrap to beat us out of them," she chuckled, and was glad to learn she could laugh at the men who bad caused her so much heart ache. Tbe laughed served a second purpose. It covered the confusion his words had brought her. She stood awhile, looking down at the tall figure In sweater and high boota striding down the street; stood until the figure bad crossed the high way, walked down tbe wharves and disappeared over the side. ANNE spent the morning wrltlni to Judge Kellogg. She sent him a signed blank check, asking him te withdraw the money from her home bank and deposit in another under the name of NIkkl Nielsen, encloslna the new signature. She told bim in detail of her plana, then asked him to please try to review tbe will, espe cially that part dealing with cannery operations. Llisa returned from town sooo after lunch with samples of every thing from wall paper to roof palnl and Anne, surprised at her sudden Interest, forgot the past for several blissful hours. Togother they went to the old house, opened the door with their own key and looked upon It with possessive eyes. This they would do, and this. The big room would be papered in buff to brighten the many grey days. The windows would be curtained In dull plaid crash. The kitchen would be done in yellow and black. Anne chose pale rose and sli ver for her room and LUsa, after changing her mind twenty times, de cided upon a papor that carried tbe entire solar spectrum, "With plain green net window curtains, though, I'll probably feel like a flab In aspic." But cleaning came Brat, to make way for the house-raising next day. This was a new experience to Anne, and b; sundown, she discovered an amazing number of muscles shi badn't realized she possessed, "The bath will steam out tht aches," Lllsa prophesied as the made ready to go to the Finnish batb house, each with a basket contain' Ing feather soft towels, soap, powdei and fresh clothing. Arm In arm they started dowr tbe twilight smothered street Tc Anne, who had stayed close by the bouse since bcr arrival, there was t feeling of adventure in going even to Union Town. There was llttl danger of meeting anyone she knew or of anyone recognizing the curly haired girl In one of Mllna'a old coats, and yet the rush of cars alont the blgbway which cut through thi business section confused her. She drew back Into the shelter ol Lilsa's sbsdow as a coupe pulled up close to the curb, laughed at bei thought that the car was Rob's, then set her lips In a stralght-ltne to bold the cry that rushed to them. The car was Rob's, and seated b aide blm, ber face clearly revealed by the match Rob was holding foi herclgaret. wasSLarlee Farnsworth. The match went out. Sbarlee snuggled Into the curve of Rob's arm and they drove away. And Anne, still silent, followed Tecla. Milne and Lllsa into the steam baths. Anne bad heard of Finnish baths. She knew there were steam rooms wbere one sat upon wooden benches, while Icy water played upon boi rocks until the room was smothered In steam, and scented with the aroma of cedar boughs, softened by steam and water to brush like fiber. At Tecls's Insistence she sat on the lowest tier where the steam, to which she wss unaccustomed, would not stifle her. But she was stifled. Sharlee In Rob Crocker's car: In Kob Crocker's arms?
