"Come on down. It's good you got

as he helped her over the side.

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

back towards Union Town and her

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.

Dsd was shocked to find him there
There was no real labor trouble at
the time, was there?"
"No. atler the men heard your

"Oh. John, how could be do that.

Abe W. Mulr, who said he spoke for

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

s.-new why l:e bad changed and he'd

"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

between the trap owners snd Crock

that. They can do nothing without

"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-

who stood before her unaware or her
admiration. It, seemed In this mo

with that of the country of which he

And upon the sua he steered It
O'er the blue and plashing bil

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.

moved across the bar, her stately
sides punctuated with round yellow
lights from her portholes.
Poor Luke he hadn't even had

his real nature. Luke, without time
to plan, had had to turn to the one

thought he could trust. Lee Farns

way out of this trouhle after all, and
