Somebody lay, loud. 'Anne.' She turn 'round. Shot be sound. Think If boat not dip on wave. she shot. Die." Anne sat horrified: then her sur mise was correct. By the grace of a wave which bad rolled her boat, Lee Farnsworth and not she, was dead. And Crocker, Rob Crocker to whom ahe once entrusted her future, had bought cartridges for the weapon which had fired the shot "White Deer, did you see any of the occupants in other boats close to Miss Farnsworth?" The Indian's Up set In a stubborn line. "Come on, Charlie, you wouldn't have this girl hanged because you're afraid to talk?" "Nltka 'frald," the man protested. "Don't know sure. Only know girl not shoot." "Well, tell us what some of the men nearby looked like. "All dress same. All wear slickers, big hats. One closest to her he wear fancy sweater under coat Red." Judge Kellogg reached for a bun dle Neuman handed him. He un rolled It, disclosed a turtle neck sweater of scarlet with Interwoven lines of purple and blue. After In troducing it an an exhibit, he turned to the Chinook. , "Could this be It?" "Yes. Pretty." The black eyes glit tered with enjoyment of the gay color. "Are you sure?" The bronze brow wrinkled. "No ure," he compromised, "Just think. White Deer wish to be right. White Deer American, wrong no man.' "That's a floe idea, Charlie, too bad others haven't the same feeling. Fou're excused." "Hale Carson, next, If you please, Mr. Bailiff." Anne, watching Farley and Rob Crocker, saw them exchange startled (lances as the sturdy cannory man entered and was sworn in as a wit ness. "Mr. Carson, what are your du ties?" "General caretaker of the Farns worth canneries." "Where were you the night of Au lust 3rd?" "Hanging around the cannery. There was trouble brewing among the fishermen and wa figured I'd better keep an eye to the buildings." "Did you see any of your em ployers at the tijie?" "Sure, that is, the young ones, Mr. Crocker and Mr. Farley. Crocker Kit there all evening." Anne sighed with relief. Then the murderer couldn't hnve been he, and perhaps her trust hadn't been so flagrantly misplaced. "But Farley took off In a glluetter loon after the fishermen left." "Do you remember how Farley was dressed at the time?" "yEH, It was klnda chilly, so I I loaned him a sweater of mine t keep round the cannery, and a iltcker and sou'wester." "Is this the sweater?" "Sure, that's It. I wondered what he'd done with It" "That will be all." A dead sllcnct settled over the courtroom. Anne looked around. Flanked along the railing were the Jeputy sheriffs, all on the alert. Be wildered, she wondered what would happen next She turned back to Judge Kellogg. II was facing the district attorney. "Are you ready to ask for a dis missal?" Ansel asked. "There is no motive " the man an wered, uneasily. "Very well." Kellogg turned back to Judge Benson. "If It pleases the court, I will produce a witness who will provide evidence that there Is a man present In this court room at this moment who would benefit by the death of Anne Karnswortn. 'ail ing to achieve that, he assisted In having her Incarcerated as a felon for the duration of her life. "May 1 proceed?"

Bailiff, will you bo the doors!" Confusion reigned after the Judge had given his instructions to the jury and they had Sled out. Farley and Crocker conferred with the dis trict attorney, Farley In heated tones. Judge Kellogg and Lenbolm sat at a table perusing the transcript which Lenbolm quickly flipped to pages containing testimony be believed the ludge would need Anne watched the audience with Interest. John was In the first row beside Tecla, talking to her earnest ly. Once be looked up, looked at be a long moment, then smiled. Ann felt a flood of happiness rush tbroug her. He hadn't doubted her: he ha neglected ber only in order to sat her. She bugged the thought to he He had stayed beside her until si was passed the danger line, tb rushed forth for evidence wbli might be lost If he waited too long The time sped by. The Judge r turned to his bencb, the Jury to It box, and silence lay over the cou: room without need of the bailiff gavel. Judge Kellogg arose "1 will cu Thomas J. Farley," he said. Tom Farley arose. Anne thougl his face was unnaturally white as h went to the witness chair. "Mr. Farley." Kellogg's voice wai stern, bitter, "on direct examination you said Miss Famswoitb was angr at having been cutout of Luke Farns worth's will, and that she sought t cause trouble among the fishermen because she wished to destroy th' morale of the fisheries. Is this true? "It Is," snapped Farley. " CCORDING to your testlmon; you first noticed her actlvlttr on or around July 15th. Is this dn' correct?" "It Is." "Mr. Farley, you were present i the drawing up of Luke Farn: worth's final will, were you not?" 'I 1 was." 'You knew the conditions of thn will, did you not?" "I, well, 1 didn't know all of then I reached Luke's bedside a little la' for the first part." But you were there early enoug to know that, Anne Farnswort: would como Into controi of the cat norles upon the marriage of Rn Crocker to any person other thn Anne Farnsworth, did you not?" "Yes." "Then why didn't you, betwo June 15 and August 3. Inform Ml Farnsworth of her ownership?" 1 didn't know that there was at. occasion to do so." snapped Farley. Judge Kellogg motioned to Lei holm, who brought a long, whlto en velope to him. He opened It and fron It took a photostat "Mr. Farley. 1 hold horo the pholi stat of a marriage license, rocordc on the books of the city clerk s Honulam, Washington " Farley started. His face floode. crimson, then paled, to a slckl: white. "I believe your signature la hen as witness. The photostat shows thm on June 1st, Sharlee Jane Farns worth was married to Robert Crocker." John was watching her anxious!) It wns to him she gave her smile o: confidence, and unconcern over th news. "Tom Farley, why did you kocp Anne Farnsworth from her legal rights? Why have you persecuted her In this trial?" Fnrlcy was silent. "I'll toll you why, because you hoped to put her out of the way be fore anyone who knew of hor rights could find hor. That's why. And i hereby charge you with an attempt to murder Anno Farnsworth. and the actual murder of Lee Farnsworth." Anne, stupeflec by what she had heard, looked at Tom Farley. Had be tried to kill her that night in the dark? Could this man, who hart known her since babyhood, who hail lived on her foster father's bounty actually have fired the shot Intended for her? She watched bis face, eyes nar rowed In thought. Ho was a lawyer Although he had practised but little he knew the evidence brought against him would convict. Suddenl his shoulders straightened, and s smile crossed his face. "1 fired the shot," he admitted, ant! over the audience a ripple of Indlg nation sounded. "And I am sure when 1 have Introduced my wit nesses and the testimony they will give, ony Jury will agree with me that It was the defendant in this case who was guilty of the death of Lee Farnsworth " fCopurlght ;JJJ. fv Jeanne Boumon; Anna learnt, tomorrow, of tha mlracla which haa aaved har. that an enemy, attnrkinK auddeniy ... oouM occupy at leat Urge por tion of the pacific cvaat without . reniatanre of any moment from de ' fenae forvpiv' He iftld the widespread belief the nntlon la secure, and the eastern and mid -western altitude that Pa cific slope occupation hy enemy forces would not necessarily threaten I national Integrity, arc the Rrestes't obstacle to bolMfilns Pacific de I fen sea.
