PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1933. il HIGH COURAGE gjt-HW.by Jenn Chapter 42 NEUMAN AGAIN TJOOS greeted Farley's foolish charge against Anne, shouts of "string hlra up." "the coward," "Lets th girl tal;e the tall lor him." There was a mad clamor, unheeded rap. ping ot the bailiff's gavel, the shouts of deputies. And then Judge Kellogg turned and held up his hand. There was In stant silence. "Your Honor," he said, "under the circumstances, I beg that the charge of murder against Anne Farnsworth be dismissed." "If Your Honor please," the dis trict attorney Joined him before the bar, "I Join in this plea for dlcmis- al." ' There was no doubt of the audi ence's feeling. The district attorney's statement was followed by applause which the bailiffs struggled manfiu.y to put down. They only succeeded In adding to the din. At last Judge Benson's gavel could be heard, thumping lustily over the noise. Quiet descended, and the Judge formally dismissed the caso. It was a short proceeding, much ihorter than Anne Imagined possible. Suddenly there was a loud crash, and a chair fell ovor. Tom Farley had risen blindly, and was making for the nearest door. "Stop him!" shouted Kellogg, but the warning was not it .asary. Kcl logg's Insistence that every door be covered by an ofllcer had been proved correct. Farley ran Into the arms of a tall, uniformed man, and In a mo ment he was secured with hand cuffs. Strangely, Farley said nothing at all. But as he was roturucd to bis chair the fire seemed to die within him. He looked once at Anne, not with appeal In his eyes, but hatred. He was hurriedly searched for weapons, and as Judge Benson ad journed court, two oincera hurried Anne's worst enemy through the door which led to the cells. There was a change in Charlotte, although Anne had no time to ob serve it. Charlotte's fury when Kel logg took chargo had maintained It self at whito hent through all that followed. But when she realized that at last the game wos off, when her fellow plotter was led s,way, her aneer was replaced by a curiously sour smile. She rose, as it to press through the crowd to Anne. But the crush was too great, and perhaps she had not yet fully determined upon her course She left the room with the air ot one hurriedly casting up her re sources, anxious to change her plnn, and not quite sure what to do at the moment. She una a grim and an unlovely picture as Bho disappeared through the big double doors which led to the corridor. Shnrlee followed alone. Sharlee had watched ovents with bewilder ment and when at last the Judge dis missed the charge against Anne, al lowed her face to tall Into an ex pression of ludicrous puzzlement. SI Hi said something to Rob. He did not answer. She snuggled against him, trying to win the protection of his arm. He Ignored her. Sharlee represented the second unsuccessful Attempt on his part to control the Farnsworth fortune. She represented nothing more. Only Anno seemed calm, poised. She was that because she wasn't quite suro what had happened. "You'ro freo, my dear, and I'm so happy." The matron bent over her and patted her on the shoulder, and Anne, reaching up, pressed the hand. "You'vo been so good to me," sho whispered. "I know I owo my life to your quick thought, that night." Anne looked bnck towards the courtroom. John and Torla stood at the railing, waiting a sign for them to enter. Sho smiled nt them and they came in, Tecla, shyly, John with queer uncertainty. "Thank you, John." Sho caught his hand In both of hers. "I'm so anxious to know how it all happened. All I do know right now, Is thot you found the evidence, somehow." Tools was eyeing her, bewildered. "Nlkkl," she asked, "you do not mind that I tell what I tell?

And I have a name, John, two names " "Two names," ha repeated, then, "here comes Judge Kellogg, you have a lot to thank him for." Anne turned to Ansel Kellogg. "You folks want to come Into the D.A.'s office and listen to how wa found what wo found?" he asked. "Ot course," she agreed, and as Tecla started to back away, she caught her arm. "Remember Tecla, you're all tho mother I have now." There were apologies from the State's prosecutor which Anne quick ly stilled. "You were doing your duty," she said. And then, seated, she listened to John tell his part. "I thought from ths beginning," he said, "that the will was queer. It didn't sound like Luke Farnsworth. He was a good Judge ot human na ture I couldn't understand his plac ing such trust in Crocker and Far ley. Yet, every bit of evidence seemed to point out that be had, "Shortly before I left for the Alaskan trip, Miss Anne gave me an idea of what had caused the change in the will. She said that Luke Farns worth had hurried down here with out letting Crocker know what he was doing, or where he was going, then upon finding Crocker here, he hod hurried back to Portland, first making Bure that Crocker would stay. "And then, while In Alaska, by pure coincidence, I ran into a sailor who had happened to overhear part ot the will as Farnsworth was dic tating it to the Westport attorney. "IT happened this way. I," he heal- A tated, and his faco burned to a rich mahogany hue, "I carried a newspaper picture of Miss Farns worth in my wallet. "I happened to Imvi ft out one evening, the wind whisked It out of my hnnd and this sailor caught It for mo. "He looked at It beforo returning It, then Instead ot kidding me, he became confidential; asked me if I knew Mlsa Farnsworth well, and said he knew something he felt be should tell, but hadn't told because he was afraid of getting into trouble. "He had shipped on a lumber boat, which tied up nt WeBtport. Thoy'd been at sea quite a while and upon getting Into port he'd gone out with his crowd for liquid cheer. "He got too drunk to got back aboard so his companions bad de cided to dip him In thnt stream which runs along underneath the houses built off the main atreet of Westport. "He'd half way sobered, enough to break awny from hla friends, and while wandering along under the pil ings of thoso buildings, hod come to some stnirs. "He went up these, found a land ing where It was warm, and lay down and went to sleep. "He wns awakened by stomping foot. Ho stood up and peered through the glass-topped door, Into the Inner room of what he found was a doctor's office. He saw a crowd of men who wore carrying an Injured man In. "They laid him on ths tnhlo and went out leaving the doctor and his wife, a trained nurse, there." John stopped end smiled. "This Is only a aummary ot what the man told me," he said. "This whole thing made a tremendous lm prosslon on him, sort ot his big mo ment. "But from his manner and appear ance I felt euro thnt what he waa say ing was true, even though he talked around and around the bush, and In sisted on telling how he felt, and what ho felt, and ail that sort of thing. "He wns ovldontly an honest man, and ono to be believed. And he seemed very glad to be able to tell the whole story to someone." John blushed again. "I guess ho could tell thnt I wns pretty much interested from the wny I acted, and from the fact that I had the picture and everything." "I'm sure he could," Judge Kellogg interjected. "But I supposo you'd bet tor got along with the story. Its a pretty long one. But interesting." ( Copyright, IJJS, by Jtnnnt fiotcmnn) Tomorrow.
