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.

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

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

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

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

Uncle Lee, bis only crime was be

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.
