PAGE EIGHT 5EEDF0RD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1935. HIGH COURAGE M MIG1 .by JeaoDf BYXOHtjlS: Anne eamsuvii-i knows now that shs is the Innocent victim ot the crooked work ot Tom Farley, Rob Crocker and hit crew ot wreckers. The Parley erowd is wrecking the Farnsworth cannery business alter having somehow euchred Anne out ot her interest in it. Now the Parleys are beginning to vent their svlte on the Finns who have taken Anne to their heart, and given her her new name of Jtikki But Anne ie eagerly await ing the return ot John tfeumnn trnm Alaska; he will be able to help her. Chapter 3! SUMMONS TO DUTY NNE scarcely left the window that day. She had promised to ratt until John'i return before try ing to do anything herself. And she waited, curled .40 on the window eat, looking went. Below her Union Town seemed Dung down-htll like a tattered quilt, houses of grey and red and bright blue for blocks, roadways for stitch tng and for a border the square river front hotels and dark red canneries. She looked beyond these, her gaze moving like a brush across the seven mile stretch of water at the bar from the dull blue of North Head to the wind whipped expanse of Young's Bay. "See her yet?" came In moderately Interested tones from LUsa who. In from the new Job she had taken, was seated In her chair reading. "Not yet," Anne reported. She strained her eyes tor the first glimpse of the ship carrying John. She wanted to see him and yet, she wondered. "Listen to this," came derisively from LUsa as she read from her book, " 'a cold wind blew irom the north, cutting through Elaine's furs, but at Bill's touch 'ho was warm. Ice fringed the edge of her parka,' what's a parka?" "Fur hood of a coat," "Humph! 'the Ice fringed edge of her parka, but when his Hps touched hers " "There he Is!" Anne Jumped to her feet. "He?" LUsa was on her feet rush lng towards the window, "what, who, where, what are you talking about?" "The . , . the boat. I mean the 'Star ot Lapland.' See the tug's going out." "I wonder It MUna will come live with me," came the Irrelevent re sponse from LUba, ".Vlina " "When a sensible girl like yon, Nlkkl Nielsen, calls a boat 'he,' then It's time for her rtfom-mate to look for another one. Now lot me get back to that bonk and see If BUI melts the Ice on the parka." Anne wasn't listening. She had drawn as close to the window as was physically possible. She felt as If a thin line were stretched between her and the ship out there. She watched the miniature tug wallowing In a grotesque attempt to reach the ship; watched the ship. LUsa closed the book with a bang of disgust and stalked to the kitchen. And then Just aa the aun, bidden behind a grey expanse of clouds, sent a thin band of yellow light along the horizon, the "Star ot Lap land" swung up-channel, out ot the Pacific Into the Columbia river. "She's across!" cried Anne. "Did I hear you say sho?" Inquired LUsa. "Then maybe we can eat. Here, 1 found one of those pesky avo cado things tor you In town; do you eat the rind or gnaw on the seed?" A NNE left the window reluctantly. 1 She went Into the breakfast nook, curled up on the window seat, and obediently dipped a spoon Into the green boat of the avocado be cause LUsa hsd troubled to buy It for her. Aside from that, she could force only blark coffee past the lump In her throat. Surely, she mused, returning to her post, she had never felt like this about Rob's coming. She was like a lamp, a drab, prosaic thing until It was IlKhtod. John was coming and she felt like a living lamp. The storm whjch had been hover ing over the ocean struck. The rain fell auainst the pane In crystal drops, turned to scarlet and gold by reflec tion ot the open fire LUsa hsd started. Below her houses burst Into radi ance. In the Eskolt kitchen the high white light rovcaled Mrs. Eskola rushing around, putting fresh coffee In the big pot. stirring the Are In the kitchen stove, stirring the pot of stew. Perhaps someclsy, thought Anne, she would do this for John. Now his mother and Molly would be hurry ing about, preparing for him and his father. John would go home first. She pressed her face to the window watching for figures to emerge from STATE JOB INSURANCE PAL EM, Ore.. Nov. 36. ( AP D. A.

But no, th man was too short. Ha was square and stocky, and his arms were tilled with bundles. A shout ot welcome sounded from the Eskola bouse, at the father mounted, his now silent children trooping behind. The door opened, then closed on their bushed happiness, A moment later it opened again to release a small boy who ran to the top of the steps below Anna's window. "Nlkkl . . . Miss Nlkkl!" Anns threw up her window. "John, he says he will come later. He had to atop by town after the pay off." "Thanks," called Anne. "Sure," shouted the small boy and dashed back as though afraid ot missing one word of his father's ad ventures. Minutes ticked along. Slow old clock, It rambled so aimlessly. Eight o'clock, what could be keeping John? Surely he had had time to finish his business and his dinner. Eight-thirty. Anne discarded the paper. LUsa deeply engrossed In a new story, looked up. "You give me the fldglts," she announced. "Sorry." Anne caught her breath. Footsteps were coming, hurrying. Sbould she rush to the door or wait? Sbe rushed to the door, threw it wide and saw Orvl standing there in oil skins and sou'wester. "Nlkkl," he panted, "Hell's broken loose on the Farnsworth wharves. John says you're to come at once. He says you're the only one who can keep our people from " "From violence, he says," came from George, who followed, breath ing hard. ANNE waited for nothing more. She dashed o her room. A white figure would catch' attention quicker. The men had seen her that day on the float, when the "Ahtl" bad docked. She wodll don Luke's favor ite "rigging." which she hadn't worn since. White slacka, white sweater, the blue seaman's Jacket, white shoes and white beret. Like a slim ghost sbe Joined the boys, who were trying to explain to LUsa. "Coma on." she cried, "you can explain on the way, where do we go?" Orvl stopped short as they rounded the house. He pointed down. Riding llghta were showing on the river, the fleet was moving out "We may be too late. They've left the wharves, they're on, their way to wreck the fish trap." There was no time for words as they rushed down hill througb the rain, scurried across the highway and down the wharves. Orvl dropped Into the boat and was warming the engine by the time Anne had made the perilous doscent. George took the helm, and Orvl Joined Anne. "This Is what's happened," he ex plained. "Crocker waa made general manager down here. He put J Ira Far ley In as part time checker. The fel lows got suspicious ot bis checking. They found out that a couple ot trap barges were making too many hauls day to be truo. Farley always checked this. And then the other night Hon- nula came In on his trawler. It was foggy and he got off course. He cast anchor while he tried to get his bearings and found out he was nearly alongside the abandoned fish trap. In Blind cove, a queer place you don't see from the drifts or the sein ing grounds. "Well, one of his crew heard voices, then hoard a boat pull up. Haunula doused his riding light and listened. He heard loading, and fol lowed the boat when It started off. It waa a cruiser, and It headed for one of the other traps where It shifted the load to the trap barge, then headed for the Farnsworth can-norles.- "Well, Hannula's a pretty decent fellow. Instead of coming back and spilling everything and starting a fight, or turning things over to the commission, be bonped the train and went to Portland He went right to Lee Farnsworth and told him every thing. Farnsworth said he was sick and tired of hearing complaints, that they'd better start checking other canneries. "Hannula didn't get sore, be tried to explain that they were bootleg ging salmon, and that unless some one were there while they were operating, they probably wouldn't be able to notice It In daylight They could rig the seines up so they'd drop below the waterllne In daylight, and the place would look abandoned to anybody who happened by."

Strange as It seems, butter proved to be the most useful commodity stored aboard the Mayflower when she and her sister ship set out from Holland to America by way of Eng land. At Southampton butter was used to pay 100 pounds of port dues and when the company arrived In America they made friends with the Indians by giving them quantities of butter.
