Chapter 34 BITTER 8CENE A KNOT of men standing outside opened to let bei pass through tbefr ranks, up the steps, aad Into the vestibule of the Jail. A deputy was sluing there, talk ing to two men. He arose and came to the railing. "I've come to see about the Sorkl brothers," Ame said. "1 am Anne Farnsworth." "Oh, yeah?" grinned the deputy, looking at the slicker, the rain oaked beret, and bedraggled slacks. "I know." she apologized for her appearance, then anxiously, "tell le, have you heard how Uncle Lee Is. Is he " she couldn't say the word. "Don't know yet; the hospital hasn't reported. He was still alive wben they brought him In. You say uncle?" he mused. One of tho, men In plain clothes stepped up, scrutinized Anne. "She could be the Farnsworth girl," he told the deputy. "You know ahe dis appeared after tho will was Died; supposed to have gone to a sanita rium." ' "I didn't," Anno explained with stoical patience. "I came down here to visit my old nurse. I've been liv ing In Union Town evor since." "Yeah, all right. Admitting you'ro the Farnsworth girl, which maybe you are and maybe you ain't, what have you got to do with the Sorkl brothora?" "Thov're my nurse's sons." "Then It's Just too bad for your nurse." "But, you see, thoy didn't shoot Uncle Lee." Anno's voice was vi brant with Intensity. "How do you know?" naked the plain clothes man with interest "Because 1 was In the boat with them. They hadn't left the engine and the wheel when . . . when Uncle Lee crumpled up." Her face was chalk white and her voice faltered as she was forced to relive the scone. "Bettor tnke her In to the sheriff," advised the ptaln clothes man. "Walt, I'll see him DrsL Now listen, sister, don't try to get away from bare. Bettor como on Inside the rail ing. Keep your eye on her, Horry; she's linblo to bolt when she gets over this fit of honesty." A NNB looked at him with calm contempt, but willingly she came Into tho enclosure. She wns aching with fatigue and numb with an unseasonable chill. "Come here." a voice ordered, as loon as she wns settled. "Ho means you," prompted the deputy to Anne. She turned towards the door, wliero a stocklly built man stood wnitlng. As Anne entered the inner office, be was aware of suveral men watch ing ber. She paid little attention to any of them until the man who had summoned her. evidently the sheriff, spoke. "Is this tho Farnsworth girl?" he sked of one.

Anne thought (he detected In the dark eyes of the man, relief, condemnation and 'triumph. She was sure her eyes told nothing of what she felt "Are you ready to answer some questions, Miss Farnsworth?" the chief asked. "Her name Isn't Farnsworth," came in contemptuous tones from Farley. "But "She was never legally adopted," Farley explained. "Then, Miss, If you'll let us have your name as a matter of record." Anne was silent. "Your name. Miss. What la your name?" The sheriff was patient, but Anne could tell from the dark cir cles under his eyes that he was more than merely weary. Lee Farnsworth was his friend. "I don't know," she answered. THE man looked at her and she saw pity In his eyes. "What name have you been using?" be asked kindly. "Nlltkl, Kikkl Nielsen," she an swered. "Any reason for that choice?" "I had to have something.

There was a momont of silence, then a voice came over the wire, tho words not decipherable to those In the room. The chief murmured, "Is Hint so, hmmm," and then, "All right; we'd better wait until morn Ing." He turned to those In the room, spoke to Tom Farley but looked at Anne. "You should be at the hospital. Farley. I don't see why you enn't do pend upon us down here to take care of this." "Nothing I can do there," barked Farley. '.'You're right," agreed the sherlfl hoavily. "Loe Fnrnsworth Just died." Anno snt stltlly on a wooden bench and stnred at the sheriff. 'Are you going to bo able to go on with your testimony?" the shcrlO asked, and his voice seemed fat away.

"If she were your cllont, you'd se It was," roturned the sheriff hotly. "You're here to get the person who killed Lee" "And I'm the one to do It, nol you." declared the man with asporl ty.

With one holiday taken from them, thoy turn to another, Shrewdly the Christian church sub stituted church holidays for pagan holidays In Europe during the rln of Christianity, and even now Easter. Christmas and other strictly Christ fan holidays can be shown to have their origin In celebrations that are older than Christianity Itself. Thanksgiving Dny came to be America's first big holiday In much this same manner. Christ mnn as a holiday was looked upon with dis favor by the stern Puritan forefath ers who searched the Bible In vain for any definite Instruction on the point. Lacking this, they resented the celebration and in the Pilgrim colony actually prohibited it. The first Christmas In America was a work day. . They deemed a festival of thanks giving proper, however, and proclaim ed such a holiday. The early settler?. Bind to have at least one important holiday on the calendar, gave It a full measure of populnr support. ami1 U-ijl?-Zi l l J J rut lit. i akt PicHyrvt irwusuuc unu nnny- nun ini-i i ip :r . .
