Her "relatives" have turned her nut. and the it living on a email allowance among the die gruntled Finnish fishermen 'Wio terve the Farneworth Canneries. Chanter 27 FIRST 8TEP A NNE thought of hor foster uncle, Lee Farosworth. She went back In memory to ber earliest recognl tlon of him as part of her world. She had never known him to do an UD' fair, unjust act She had never known him to be unkind. His only fault bad been his good-natured, easy going disposition. But he had stood by her that one time. He had defied Charlotte, at what must have been considerable cost to his peace of mind. Perhaps If be realized what was going on he - would light to see that Luke's wishes were carried out. "How can I reach him. without re- reallng my whereabouts," she pon dcred. "I don't want to risk seeing him. though I would If H were nec - essary." And then she decided she could " write to Judge Kellogg, who, having read the will, could approach him nu the ground of the canneries' failure . . tp obey the terms. It would save her writing direct, for she wasn't sure the letter wouldn't be waylaid so he would never receive It. Satisfied with her decision, she looked up. John wns standing near, watching hor. "Feel bettor?" he 1 asked. Anno nodded and just then a call , came from George. It was time to haul In the catch and John sprang j -Into action. Even Mllna, who had , been curled up on the galley bench asleep, stood by. Anne watched entranced us tbe net was hauled In, the steady glare of the boat's searchlight playing on the fish as they came flipping over the side. A giant cblnook flopped out of tbe not and Orvl uttered a cry of triumph. A good omen for ihe boat. It was all of thirty pounds. George tossed a flat flounder back Into the water. "Plap" It went and Anne laughed as aba Imagined It ' cutting the lower waters like a blade in Its rush to reach the shadowy ' security of the bottom. There was a sturgeon, too, to be taken borne nud baked by Tecla. II was a good haul; a goot', omen. S.uislled, they put back to towu. iiiisi-cl Into a wharf from whare Anne, '-huddled In John's coat, could soe the' Karnsworth Fisheries,' tbe silver letters of the sign gleaming out be. neatb the wharf lights. She thought of another time when she had looked up at the long green buildings. So much had happened In the short span of time between; so many things which Luke bad given the best of bis 1Kb to perfect were being undone. And she was helpless to Interfere, ber hands literally tied by tbe will Luke had left. And yet Anne felt that there was . something yet to come, some crisis tor her to meet Standing In the prow of the boat, her face lifted to the cool, night wind, she wondered If she would have the courage, the high courage, to meet It "pHAT night she lay In her narrow bod and thought of th things John had told her. Somehow she could not doubt him. It clarified the mystery of Luke's actions, It or plsined Rob's reaction to her loss of the estate. And she thought of John's concern over some possible danger to her. Foolish that but plenslng. He had asked her to trust him. She did, though she wonderod how she could trust anyone after the wny hor Inv pllclt faith In Rob had been shut tered. Anne awakened the next morning with the realization that she had been at the Sorkla an entire week, and that she was that morning to unpack the things sent down from Portland. After hurrying through broakfaat and the housework, she and Mltnn rushed up to the cottage where John had left the boxes, barrels and trunks, opened and ready for them Anne had one moment of panto as she saw the crowded room and real Izod that here wore things which would definitely tie her to memories of the past There waa the great codar chest with its neatly packed layers of lin AHEAD- I Vl hundred snd Iwntv CCC -orkrs .t , LMI UUcLi 1 U MtlSWS- "1 .'rmi I .

And there were odds and ends of furniture. Smoking stands, coffee tables, book and wall shelves, a radio, and one deep chair with an ottoman to match. Anne looked at tbe chair and wished she might do away with It It was to have been a birthday pres ent to Rob. When she had bought It she had Imagined she could see him; dark head against the cushioned rest herself sitting on tbe ottomad looking up at blm. That was It always with Rob she was looking "up." He had demanded It and because of bis years of sen iority she had given It Never bad they met on common ground such as she and John were meeting on dally. But why compare Rob and John? She wasn't In love with John. She would give the chair to Lllsa, surely the sight of Lllsa's top-knot sliding back and forth would serve as an antidote for any unhapplness she might have at seeing it In the room. Lllsa was delighted when Anne presented it to her tbat noon. She was delighted with everything. She marched from room to room with pencil and pad. M Anne sat writing a letter to Judge Kellogg, whlcb Lllsa would take Into town to mall The letter oft, Anne relaxed. Un cle Lee would arise to this chal lenge. The fishermen would be treat ed fairly and she . . . well, somehow the days would pass. TUB days did pass. Closed season came on and the boys were tree to help with the new homo, and "the boys" Included John. Not that be was there too oftei, for there seemed always to be someone call ing him to attend to this or that. Hut It was often enough to make the house seem lonely without blm And the days passed without bear Ing from Lee Farnsworth. Judge Kellogg wrote ouco, and eagerly Anne took his letter to her room to scan It Dear Anne: 1 saw tee, yesterday.

Poor Lee, hla con cern over you waa pathetic. I told tilm you were settlnu along na well as could he expected. I could have heen kinder hut I thought your plea would hnve more weight If he felt everything wasn't rlRht. I told him, I had received a re port that Crocker owned the trapa. lie didn't ecem angry, but Inalsted I waa mlatakon, thnt the report douhtleHa came from Crocker's en emies. I alao told him of the trnp preference and he snld he would call Knrley In and prove thnt un true, na Fnrley wna In charge and would know whnt wna going on. However, he rnnnented to make a secret tnveatlantlon and upon thle vou will have to pin vour hopes. There was more hut Anne paid little attention lo It. She would wait, she decided, and give Lee time for his Investigation. Than If things didn't change, she would act. How she didn't know, time tn worry about thnt Inter. It seetned lo Anne sho had never been on as many picnics: that these Finnish people made a picnic of everything. There were trips to a deserted quarry for old stone with whlcb to build the fireplace; there were picnics Inland for plants foi their rock garden: and there were picnics along the bench to gather drift-wood whlcb must be stacked and dried and cut Sometimes Anne wuudered at the happiness of these people with their simple pleasure, wondered, and grew radiantly happy with them. "If-only I didn't have to go away,' John said to Anne the Sunday be fore he sailed. They were aboard the boat, heading for a picnic in a cove up the river. "1 wish I hadn't slgnod on, and yet I'm going to need the money. I'm going to buy that trawler hocattse I want to work for mysolf." Anne smiled at him, unable to put Into words the desolation she felt at his going. They beached tho boat on smooth sand, built a fire tor the Inevitable coffee, thon sat In the sun talking while the younger children scurried along the beach picking up shells, making sand houses tor the waves to wash down, wandering Inland for spring flowers. Tecla and John's mother, a tall. red-haired Irish woman, sought the shade of a treo for their knitting and gossip. Lllsa soon Joined them, leav ing John and Anne alone. For a long time the two lay strotched In the sand In the shelter of a rock, listening to the slap of tiny waves.
