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

Ah, there was son-eone. 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."

speaker said as follows:
"The Corinthian letter from which
we take our text waa addressed di

that time Corfnth waa known for its
splendor, grandeur and beauty.
"At that time, much aa the trend
