TiIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1935. PAGE six Rv r.LUYAS WILLIAMS CHANGING CLOTHES HIGH COURAGE, STRANGE AS IT SEEMS By JOHN HIX Tor farther proof address the author, Inclosing a. stamped envelope for reply. Eeg. V. 8. Pat Off. -f.-.by jleann Bowman,, 8YNni'HJ&: Aa Nikkt Nielaeu, Anne Famaworth is living among the fishermen at Union Town, try ing to learn eomethina about her own past, to find out what it wrong between the flahermen and the Famaworth canneries, and to de termine whst hey course ahal be aa to her lost share of the Fama worth fortune. Now Tom Farley, her worst enemy and the man at present in control of the canneries, has ruined a net belonging to the Snrki brothers, Anne'a prntectnra. The rlnn has met to see what shall be done. Chapter SI STORM 8IGNAL "T ET'S forget Tom Farley," she begged, "let's laugh at him. I'll buy a new net, and next winter after you've mended your old one we'll try to sell It." Relieved, and with Anne's check tor a new net in their hands, the boys went back to the house, and Anne turned to Tecla. "There's a letter In your room, Nikkl," she Bald. There were two, enclosed in one envelope from Judge Kellogg's of fice. Anne opened the one in his hand writing first. Dear Anne, by tha time you receive this I'll be on my way to the first vacation I've had In ten years. Jennie's doctor decided there was nothing wrong with her bui nerves and advised a sea trip, so we're heading south to San fcran- dicUons oi storms to be encoun tered, calms that would keep tht ship drifting, fogs that would bind their speed, but she laughed. Jobs was coming, that was all she needed to know. No doubt In her mind noi her heart what that meant. What if It would take two weeks, a fort night. When he did arrive, she'd bi ready with her answer. Let Tom Farley find her. He did. Tecla was right. Jim Far ley, his youngest brother, called at the Sorkl home next morning, and finding no one home, climbed the steps to Nlkkl's house. But Nikkl wasn't home ... to him. From a vantage point behind the breakfast room curtains, she watched blm ascend, listened to bis futile knock Ing at the door, heard him tip-toeing across the porch to look Into the liv ing room window. He went next to the Hannula home to be met at the door by a woman who smiled and replied to every question with, "1 don't know." Every door that opened to him gave the same answer, tor word had gone out the previous night which sealed the lips of the Finnish people against one whom they recognized as a common enemy. Farley waited a day for the Sorkl brothers to put In their claim, then he struck. Anne was home, Tecla having decided It best she stay under The "Star of Lapland" elsco, from where we'll embark on the first of the month lor a. South American crufae. I'm satisfied you're getting along all right. That snap-snot you sent wns evidence enough; never saw you look finer. My partner, Jack HU1, will, take eare of your affairs while I'm awny, forwarding your allowance, and directing any mall that comes In hero. Well, he a good girl and take eare of yourself. I'll see you around the holidays. Can't you plan to slip tin to Portland and have Thanks giving dinner with un? Jonny Joins me In this. She r eg rots you couldn't have made your home with us, and hoping this finds you oheerful, Affectionately Ansel Kellog. Anne laid the Utter down, a queer linking feeling taking possession of her. Another mnlnstny gone. One , that she needed. The second letter came from Jack HIU. with an enclosure. Anna read Hill's brief note saying the en closed had arrived after Kollogg's departure, and he tolt she was In terested. Anne looked at the letter; 11 was from Log Famaworth, brief and bit ing. I beg to tsll you that 1 have carried out the secret Investiga tion HUBtrcntcd, and have found nothing to support ycur charges. I believe they were Instigated by enemies of the two young men, and ask you to inform those parties that further Interference by act or Insinuation will be handled by law. Very truly yours, I-es Karnsworlh. "Uncle Lee didn't write that," Anne murmured, "It isn't like him. He'd ramble, and explain hts ex planations. That sounds like Rob." ELL, alio sighed, It was usoIcb, hope from correction In that quarter. She walked out Into the other room. There wns someone at the door. Lllsa opened It and Molly Nctimnn entered, red hair gleaming, blue eyes dnnclng. "Nikkl, they've hnd a radiogram at the Union. The 'Star of Lap land' sails In the morning for home." "That means John's coming" "Yeh," commented Lllsa dourly, "but do you know how long before he'll get here In that old sailing hip?" Anne listened to Lllsa's dire pro- cover tor awhile. Lon, the youngest Sorkl boy, had taken hor place aboard the Nikkl, and Bho, Irked by hor confinement, wsb sitting at the western window looking out to wards the Pacific. John was on the Pacific, and now that great oxpanso of water hold personal concern for hor. SHE saw Lllsa, turn from the stroot to the Sorkl steps and from the Sorkl stops to their own, but she didn't march up In her old arrogant fashion. Sho came a step at a tlmo, looking suddenly old. Hor high, bofentherod hat passed the front window slowly, the door opened nn Inch at a time, and Lllsa entered, a bewildered look upon hor face, . "Lllsa, what's happoned?" Anne cried In alarm. "Nikkl," she said In a stunned tone, "I have tioen llrcd from Farm worth Fishorlos. 1, who have worked there for sovontoon yonrs havo been given two wook's pay and t'old to got out, 1 can't linnglno what 1 did that was wrong," "Oh Liisn," Anne throw hor arms about her, "you did nothing but tnke me In, sholtor mo when thoy wore trying to hurt mo." Hut Llbn wnsn't to be so com fortrd. "No," sho Insisted, "they've beon wanting to got rid of me for a long tlmo. Things haven't been hnndlod right thero. 1 used to bo glvon the production sheets to tally with Ihs dnlly department reports. Now, I'm summing up reports from pToduc. tlon shoots alone." "Nikkl," she looked up, her grey eyes solemn, "I think they're keep ing two sets of books. I believe the Parleys and Crocker are bleeding the cnnnorlos for themselves." "1 know Lllsa. llowover, It Farley hadn't found I wns living with you he wouldn't have been afraid to keep you. He'd have had you star on to provldo him with that one set of books which appear to be right. "We'll got along, there'll be other Jobs." (Copyright, 19SS. by Jeanni Botrman) Ann.
