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.
"It Is." como a familiar voire and
Anne wheeled to find Tom Parley
facing her.

For a moment thetr gaze met,
locked. 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. My
nurse had called me Annlkkf aB a
baby, so we dropped the Anne and
used the Nlkkl. She had relatives
hy tho name of Nielsen and suggest
ed 1 use that. It didn't mntter to mo."
"My deputy tolls mo you were tn
the Sorkl boys' boat. What were you
doing thcro . . . Just a minute." He
reached for tho telephone, which
buzzed Insistently.
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.
She stared at him with unseolna
oyea. Testimony. What a queei
word. She would like to cry. Sh
would like to see John, ask him to
talk to these men. tell them thlngi
hor stiff Hps couldn't utter. But she
couldn't cry, her eyes were dry ol
tears, they seomed to have congest
od about her heart
"You wished to ask me some
thing?" she managed to say.
"Yes, and I want to caution yo
to choose your words carefully.
Whatever you may now say mny he
used ogolnst you"
"Is thot necessary?" Intorposed
Farley.
"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. "All right. Shermnn, ready?"
Anne saw a mnn with a notebook
and pencil come close.

Holidays and times of festival and
celebration are found throughout
the world all peoples and countries
find something to observe In this
manner. 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.
