A neat boat with a small cabin was chafing at the line holding It to the piling. She was not the one the boys had Brat thought of, but a better one. painted white on the outside snd seaigreen on the Inside. "Come on down. It's good you got on slacks, no place for dresses get ting tied roun' your ankles." he said, as he helped her over the side. George, already down the ladder, dropped lightly Into the boat and held It steady for Anne, and a mo Dieot later John and Mllns Joined them. The line was cast off. and the new gllnetter started out on Its trial trip to the drifts. Anne, braced against the bow. watched their progress and felt again the exhilaration she had felt that day aboard the Antl. Sky and sea were larkspur blue. The sun moving west was gilding horizon clouds and wave-froth with old gold She swung around and looked back towards Union Town and her new home. Above the patchwork of Its many colored bouses reared the dark line of firs, and beyond these, mounds of hills like plum colored velvet, topped by Saddle Hack - mountain. Its pommel carrying a white cloud rider. "How do you like It?" . A nee looked up. John was stand ing beside ber. He seemed a part of bis background, his eyes the blue of the sky and water, bis skin and hair the bronze of the clouds. "I love It," she answered. "You don't mind the wavesT It's pretty rough today." "It's like a swing." she began, then paused at the look on John's (ace. "What's wrong?" "I'm going to risk spoiling the lit tle fun you've had," he began, frown lllR.. "You mean there's fresh trouble; the men back there on the wharves are angry about something new?" t "It Isn't new, but they're growing tired waiting lor me to gather proof to give to the authorities. Nlkkl, will you help me?" "Surely, If 1 can." "Nlkkl," he squared licr around hands on her shoulders. "Do you know that Rob Crocker Is owner of th three llsk traps eorvlng the Farnsworth Kisherles?" "Owner?" she repeated. "Yes. the man whose money bought the flab traps and Is psylng the pseudo-owners to run them as their own." A NNE looked at John Neuman In blank astonishment, then slowly an overwhelming comprehension came to ber and In It, she felt she had solved the mystery which had sent Luke Farnsworth driving to bis death. "I didn't know." she answered, "but, John, I do bolleve you're right. It explains everything. "What do you mean?" Anne looked up at him. He had trusted her In telling her this about the man she had loved: ehe wontd trust him. "1 believe Luxe received word ot this. He wouldn't condemn a man without proof and as that man was to be his son-in-law. he came down In person to find It. He brought me along so I would know, also.' The storm kept htm from going out to the traps where he probably Intend ed forcing the men there to tell the truth. "Hob's sppearance In Astoria fur ther established his guilt, because Dsd was shocked to find him there There was no real labor trouble at the time, was there?" "No. atler the men heard your father waa In town they got up a petition, and Tecla took It to him ' "Oh. John, how could be do that. P". I mean, go against father's wishes to take more money tor him self?" SEES COOS BAY IL PERIL Ifl PACT MARSHFIELD, Ore.. Nov. !. (API Abe W. Mulr, who said he spoke for JO.O00 lodging and sawmill workers of the Paclllc northwest, predicted In austrlal stagnation for Coos Bay and southwestern Oregon unless the mm ber trade agreement between the United States and Canada la snnullrd Mulr. executive committee member jf the lumber unions of the north west, addressed Business men and union workers here yesterday. The west coast, he declared, will mffer under what he described as an ttempt by the federal government to bolster the economical fortunes of the Industrial east. He said he waa indeavorltig to enlist the support of fmployers' Interest represented by the West Coast Lumbermen's association. "Men iu queer tilings. Nlkkl. " "And that's why Rob spoke ss n did when I told him about l.uke 11I. Ho grew angry at Dad. said he s.-new why l:e bad changed and he'd show him." "Try to forget this, Nlkkl." John advised, seeing her eyes fllL "I wouldn't have worried you If I hadn't ttrought we might avert an open fight. You stay on In your new house with Mfsa. I wouldn't put anything past Farley, and as loaf as he doesn't know where you are, he can't harm you." "Harm me?" queried Anne, In sur prise, "but why should he do me any physical harm? That's what yon mean, Isn't It?" "I don't know why he should. Nlkkl, and none of us will know un til we have heard the final reading of Luke's will, and be knows you won't Interfere with his wife's share . . . you see the fewer the kin, the larger the share." "But, John, I can't sit quietly at home taking care of myself if I could be doing something to avert this trouble." I don't know what you could do," he assured her, "that we're not try Ing to do. If we can prove collusion between the trap owners snd Crock er, with Intent to defraud the gov ernment. then we can prosecute, but It's bard work doing that. The com mission accepted our report. Invest! gated and declared everything bad been conducted legally. I appreciate that. They can do nothing without proof and I don't know how we'll get IL" "Maybe I could help TIKKI," there was alarm In John's voice, "don't try, please don't try. Can't you trust me? Won't you promise to take care of yourself while Pm away?" I . . . why . . ." Anne's cheeks were flooded with color. John's quick cry had sprung from bis heart. It was persona, snd yet, Anne rea soned, he might feel that way about any defenseless woman. I'll promise not to do anything without first giving It long thought," she compromised, then spoke quick ly, "What Is that?" "That's the boat song from the Kalevala, tbe national epic of the Finnish people," explained John. "Sing it In English," Anne asked. And John, looking toward the set ting sun, sang: And the boat with red he painted. And adorned the prow with gilding. And with sliver, overlaid It- Anne, listening, forgot ber girl hood, forgot Luke and Luclnda. for got everything excepting this man who stood before her unaware or her admiration. It, seemed In this mo ment, that the spirit of the man who sang and her own spirit were fused with that of the country of which he sang And upon the sua he steered It O'er the blue and plashing bil lows The. sun slipped into the Pacific like a golden disk, turning tbe hori zon clouds to rose and amber. Twl light moved in from the sea and the new boat paused In Its rhythmic chugging until the net was cast, the top line floating in a rounded L. Buoy lights were set twinkling and everywhere Anne looked It seemed as If fishermen had loosed a horde of fireflies to float sparkling on the waves. "Come and get it," sounded Mllna't voice from the cabin, breaking the enchanted spell of the evening. They crowded Into the little gal ley, to balance bowls of steaming hot stew on uncertain knees, to spresd biscuit wltb berry Jam and to drink heavy cups full of coffee. Then, still talking and laughing, they went back on deck. Anne, wrapped now In John's great coat, sat In calm contentment, listen ing to the slap of waves on tbe boat's sides, tbe muted voices of the men and, occasionally, a shout of laughter or song from s nearby boat This was peace, and with It an undercurrent of pleasurable excite, ment. She looked out to where a liner moved across the bar, her stately sides punctuated with round yellow lights from her portholes. Poor Luke he hadn't even had the solace of his belief In ber. And be waa right. She would have mar rled Rob. unknowing, unsuspecting his real nature. Luke, without time to plan, had had to turn to the one person he could trust, that he thought he could trust. Lee Farns worth. Suddenly Anne stood up. Lee Farnsworth) Perhaps there was s way out of this trouhle after all, and she could go back to her new home and rest in peace, her work acconv pllshed.
