THE NET TIGHTENS
i f? boat, she behind and at right
l'l of that girl's." the Indian to!d
Kellogg.
"What happened there at the
time?"
"Lady, the climb up on boat like
he get to trap. 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.

tones.

Judge Kellogg arose "1 will cu

Tom Farley arose. Anne thougl

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'

"Yes."
"Then why didn't you, betwo

Farnsworth of her ownership?"
1 didn't know that there was at.

Judge Kellogg motioned to Lei

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
