Anne hca been cheated of her ehare in the eannerlee by Tom Farley and hie gang, but aha hoa been oeked to help by John Seuman, and ehe loves John and wilt do whatever he eaya. The Sorkl boys are telling her hiw one of the fishermen eaught Farley's gang 61 otlepotng ealmon, but could not oereuade Lee Fame worth ot the tart. Chapter 33 SHOT IN THE DARK "TTB couldn't convince Farm ll worth, however, and when Han nula returned and told the crew, they decided It was time to take action The; told some of the fellowi who've been losing money all aummer and decided to go Into action. They went to the canneries Brst, to get Farley. They were going to torce blm to go to the traps with them. They missed him. "John came In about that time, but they were beyond stopping. He tried to reason with them. Seems he's trying to protect the canneries, for some reason. "Then he sent us after you. Nlkkl, he said that you owned the can nerles." "That I do?" questioned Anne, be wildered. "Yes, that's exactly what he said, and he said to tell you that he was ready to prove It" Anne shook her bead. "He's mis taken, but maybe I can pretend long enough and convincingly enough to check them before they get Into trouble." "John said you must, that If they harm anyone they'll be the ones to suffer, not the guilty ones." The engine faltered, and Orvl went back to Join George. Anne stepped outside Into the wind. The rain had stopped but huge wavos dashed over the bow, and sent her hurrying back to the cabin. She thought of other storms, of the one the night of Luclnda's death. And then the waves grew less rough, the wind seemed to die away, they were coming Into the cove. Anne stepped out again. She saw the flicker of many lights. They were In a maze ot Ashing boats, gll setters, trawlers, and a cruiser was nosing the piling of an old wharf, the wharf that held the nsb trap building. Anne looked at the cruiser and closed her eyes In quick pain. The "Aha" What was It doing there. "Got Into this." Orvl threw a nib her coat about her. He went back to tne pilot house, and they ma neuvered their way through the boats to a spot near the "AMI." A bargo was nearby. Its surface gloaming with Ub catch ot ash. They'd grown bold, this night ot storm, with every other boat oft the water during tbe closed hours. A cruiser was near It, nondescript, but familiar, the one which had cut across the Sorkl not. And the mob spirit was there. Voices rising In angor, then sink ing to a low mutter more ominous than anger. Unthinking, unhoedlng, that single voiced monotone would follow tho lead ot the most reckless. A searchlight from the "Ahtl" flashed on, outlining the Dsn trap end buildings. Anne recognized them. It was on the beach near them that John bad thrust her be hind the thicket when he heard voices. But what should she doT The plat form of the trap wharf would make a stage. She would go there. The "Ahtl" was In the way, but she could climb over that. She started, reached the edge ot the "Nlkkl," then paused. Someone called "Anne." She turned back. Something whizzed past her face. Simultaneous ly she heard the report of a gun. She swung towards the "Ahtl" and gasped In horror. Oa the bow of the host, waiting to step to the wharf ladder, stood Lee Farnsworth. Uehlnd him black hillside, before him the maze of boats. He looked SDout, an expres sion of ludicrous as'onishment on his face. Anna gave a half-arllcnlate cry. That looked had changed to pain. The fat figure slumped, fell forward sprawling over the edge of the "AMI." OTUNNED silence hung over the scene for a moment, then a cry rang out "Get the man who fired that snot!" Tom Farley's voice. It came from behind Anns. She felt a boat bump the one she was In, there cams s peculiar thud she couldn't Identify then pandemonium broke loose. Engines started, but riding lights flashed off as though they'd been doused by a universal wave, and in the darkness came a high sharp com mand. L DOT MAIM LOA HILO, Hawaii. Nov. 3d. ( AP A form of !ara ennea from 200 to 600 feet high sprang up along the, alupea of Miiuna Loa volcano today. skyward by powerful under' piound activity, Frupilon of the volcano, which hriMii 1M TMiraday night, continued ri-M'i'M. and there waa a poaai hi:;tv the activity may be prolonged !r;'!r:iri!ely. Dr. Thomaa A. JacRar. tyu ; rni. nt vo!cnolcn!(t, recalled thi.: fuiptk.na during the twentieth rcn":ry ueuaKy have not lhted more than three weeks, hut before that acme of thrm went on for a year. The fc'.rmma of molten rork, flow lrf at an eftUmaie4 apcod ot a& "Dive us a light to carry him back, to tbe cabin." A single light focussed on the scene, Anna turned to see from whence It came. In a boat to the left and behind her, stood John Neuman. It was bis searchlight. Now all the cruiser's lights were gleaming. The big motor was puls ing, and then, searchlight ahead, tt sbot out Into tbe river, leaving churning waters behind. The mass ot boats disintegrated. disappearing Into the darkness, un til only two remained. One nosed steadily towards them. John N'euman's voice came cau tiously from this, as It moved abreast. "Get Nlkkl out of this," ha ordered Orvl, "beach her if you have to, then put back to tbe wharf with out her." And then his boat was gone. Tbey headed into the night, and Anne, shocked and horrified, sat face In her hands. Uncle Lee shot. Was he dead? Poor Uncle Lee. What was be doing down bere? Had he decid ed Hannula was telling the truth, and come down to see for himself? The "Nlkkl" circled the lights ot Astoria and Union Town. "Too rough to beach her," Orvl said, "let's put her off at Hunters' Wharf." After what seemed hours to Anne they put into a deserted wharf south of Union Town. Anne made ber un steady way down tbe narrow wet plank to tbe mainland, and tbe boat moved away to return to Its home berth. Uncle Lee shot The awlsb ot her wet shoes made a chant ot It Uncle Lee shot She should be with him. not out here, sneaking home like a criminal. Why bad John Insisted upon this? Protecting ber, she knew, trying to hide her Identity, to protect It, now that revealing It could not check the violence he feared. Overhead the reflection of lights on the clouds grew lurid as she ap proached town. She found the end of the dirt road leading to her front door, and followed It wearily until she reached the shingle cottage. She opened the door. Lllsa was gone. Exhausted she sank Into a chair be fore the dying Ore. u NCLB LEE. Luke had loved him could do no wrong. Good natured Uncle Lee, bis only crime was be lief In everyone. Wearily she went to her room, then stopped. Footsteps were com ing, running. "Nlkkl, Nlkkl!" It was Mima. "Nlkkl," sbe burst Into tbe room, "the police have arrested George and Orvl for shooting Lee Farnsworth." "That Isn't true!" Anne stared at the girl. "It is true, they're taken them to Jail." "I didn't mean that part, I moan they didn't shoot blm, they couldn't have. Orvl was tending the engine and George was In the pilot bouse." "But Nlkkl," cried Mllna. "they found the gun In their boat" Anne stared at Mllna In horror. That boat, bumping theirs, that thud. It took Anne a full moment to di gest what Mllna had told her. There was only one thing to do. Sho pulled her wet beret back over her curls as she recognized it She would go to the police, reveal her Identity, and assure the authori ties that the boys had nothing to do with the shooting; that they were present only because tt was believed she might do something to check the violence of the men. "Where are you going?" Mllna asked In alarm as Anne started pull ing the slicker Orvl had given her back over ber shoulders. "To the police to tell them the truth." "No," Mllna objected, "Ma says you're to stay here and not let any one know you're here." "I couldn't do that,'' Anne an swered, turning off the lights. "I must go down there and clear George and Orvl at once. Maybe. Mllna, you'd better stay here In case any one wants me. Where Is Lllsa?" "She snd mother went down to the Neumans. John Is getting sn at torney for tbe boys snd seeing about ball. If they're allowed ball." "Then you'd batter stay with th children." Anne preceded Mllna out of the door. "If Tecla comes In be fore I return, tell her not to worry." She hurried down the steps to the lower street, down the street to tha highway, where sbe caught a bus foi Astoria. As the lumbering vehicle msde ltt way over the hill, she remembered that this was the first time she bsd crossed thst barrier since she cams to Union Town. She left the hus and went directly to the Jail.
