PAGE EIC.nT J HIGH COURAGE jHt-l-ytiy. Jeanm SYNOPSIS: Anna rarnsworiu tf now Nikki Nielsen, a member oj the fishing colony at Union Town, instead of one ot Portland' lead ing debutante. Many strange things have conspired to reduo. her to her present state or is It being "reduced" to have earned the lore of such a man as John Neumant At any rate Anne hopes to find out what has caused Tom Parley to turn on her so viciously, and what the trouble is in the Farnsworth canneries. She is working on the boat she has bought for the Borki boys, and living with LUsa, their aunt. Chapter 30 FARLEY MAKES TROUBLE A NNB only sensed the growing unrest at first, for John bad warned everyone that she was to be kept from knowing the truth of things If possible, for her own lafety. At first she was concerned only with delight In her growing koowl sdge and Increasing strength. Her Urn body was rounding, her skin becoming a dusky gold, cheeks and lips flushed with scarlet. The mop of curls, cut short so they could be pushed under her cap, were the color of sage honey. And then, as she found bed of an evening less attractive, she be gan to notice a change In Lllsa. She would come in worn out In spirit as well as In body. "Lllsa." pled Anne one Sunday, "won't you tell me what's wrong?" "1 don't know," the woman ad mitted, "of course we have more work with this run, but It's some thing else, something In the air. Things aren't harmonious like they were when Mr. Luke was alive." "What things, Lllsa?" "Oh, i don't know, Tom Farley's relatives, the place Is running over with them and they all want to boss. If 1 hadn't worked there seventeen years I'd try to And another Job." Tom Farley. At the mention of that name, Anne retreated to her corner overlooking the Pad tic, while memories of the pa&t rushed over her. Lee hadn't told Judge Kellogg of the outcome of bis In vestigation, though she'd beard nothing much from the fishermen. She sensed trouble, rather than knew of It, Farley was unquestion ably working with Rob Crocker, and the two wouldn't give up easily. She went to work the next morn ing In thoughtful mood. A grey day, a, silver grey day, she doclded, as they started out on a sea as smooth and shining as an aluminum tray. She watched the world turn from grey to blue as a gentle rain blew up. This would be good for her garden and she wanted It a blaze of colors whpn John returned. When John returned. Her days re volved about that thought On the late drift, after supper was over and the little galley cleaned, she sat outside thinking of him. Some day they would sit thus, watching net buoys bobbing like scarlet blobs on the water, watch ing other boats, catching the first glimpse of the Cape light. And then her revery was In terrupted. George had jumped to bis feet and wns looking off towards As toria. "Look at that fool," he shouted to Orvl, pointing to a small cruiser ducking In front of a big freighter, tooting derisively. "He must be drunk." The boat careened, seemed to sight the "Nlkkl" Idling on ber drift, and darted towards them. George Jumped to the roof of the cabin and hoenn waving and shout Ing. Orvl turned on the searchlight and directed It towards the buoy lights. BUT on the cruiser came. Anne looked at George, he was stand ing still now, like a stMue. Orvl, too, seemed numb; only the men In the nearby gllnetters were sounding sirens, tooting whistles. The boat cut In between two buoy lights. Stopped. "On purpose, be did It!" cried Orvl, suddenly articulate, as the buoy lights were dronched. And now to the din was added the sound of cursing aboard the boat "He's tangled his propeller In our nets," Orvl walled, and then he broke Into Finnish and Anne, under standing, longed to Join him. A man came out on the tiny deck reeled drunkenly, then steadied himself and swnre belligerently at the crew of the N'lkkt: at all fish ermen who cluttered up the way and thought they owned the whole Pa cific. Oi vi, stricken, looked at him. "One thousand dnllars," he walled as the man swung over the stern to slnfih at the water with a blade, "our net, he can't do that to our net" Other voices Joined from nearby boats and Anne caught occasional, words.

The powerful engine of the boat started Its hum, strangled, stopped. It started again, choked. Time after time the performance was repeated, then suddenly It started towards thi gilnetter. Paralyzed, Anne watched until It came close. Horrified she faced tba man who bad slashed the net Tom Farley, sobered now, stared at her In amazed recognition. The gilnetter tipped with the wash of their wave as they veered by, and Anne sank to the floor of the boat There was no use of staying long on the river. Anne looked at the dangling net as George drew It slow ly In. The great gash slashed In It bad released the fish. Only a tew were entangled In what was left "Like silk. It was," murmured OrvL They turned back to Union Town with scarcely a word spoken be tween them. George broke the silence once. And I thought this would be ma's last summer at the cannery," be said. When they bad tied up to the wharf, Anne spoke. "Come up to my house, we'll pass yours quietly so Tecla won't hear." But Tecla did bear. She had sat watching the lone boat putting back from the drift and like every other woman with a man on the water, sbe wondered what was wrong. There Is trouble," she said, open ing the rear door and confronting them as they started up the stairs. "Yes," answered the boys. LIISA heard the tramp of feet and met them at the door. She took one look at their faces, then hurried them In, fiercely cheerful, her top knot riding her head like the comb of a fighting cock. Coffee we'll have, and I've cheese left to dip In It" She turned to Orvl, "take the crepe off your face! and build a fire; Nlkkl's cold." ' "I'm not," faltered Anne, and shivered with nervousness. Your spirit is; an open fire warms the heart" Listening to their tale. Lllsa cut squares of the leathery curd choese as If she were cutting squares from the hides of the vandals who had ruined the net She plopped them Into the steaming coffee. "Drink, then talk," she snapped. The fire crackled merrily, boots were pulled off and wool stockinged feet stretched towards the blaze. The fishermen three, heartened by the steaming beverage, found their gloom lifting. "We could mend the net," George decided, "but it would take till the end of the season." "Don't worry, boys," Anne was trying to remember how much money was left In her account "We'll buy a new one." "It would be better to sue, and make them buy It for us," Orvl said In protest "We couldn't sue Tom Farley," Anne countered. "Farley!" Tecla sat up straight "Wns he there?" "He was the one who slashed the net," "N'lkki,' Tecla leaned forward, "He saw you? He knew who you were?" "Yes," answered Anne, "he recog nized me." Tecla leaned bark, a look of fatal istic resignation on her face. "I t'lnk Farley, he come tojrou boys to pay," she said. "What?" they all cried. In unison. "Yes." she answered wearily, "he come to make the offer, but he come to see Nlkkl." And Anno felt this was true. Hav ing lAitn her In the Rnrkl hrothAra boat, be would try to learn ber ! whereabouts. Knowing she was not In a sanitarium, but rather with the people he was Intont upon harming, he would want to know why she wss there and what she was doing. "I wish John was here." blurted Orvl. John. Anne's heart quickened Its beat at the name. "Maybe you'd better go, Nlkkl," Tecla suggested. "Go whore?" she asked. "To safety," Tecla answered. "nut, Tecla," shs protested, "he can't do anything to me. I've done no wrong and surely he can't molest me In my own home." "She's right," Lllsa confirmed, and the top knot nodded emphatically, "she's every right in the world to he here. We've good locks or the door and I'd like to see the color of the man's hair who'd try to hurt her when I was around."
