PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1935 HIGH COURAGE by Jeanne Chapter 4S LUKE'S PLAN JOHN NEUMAN laughed. For a young man usually ao self-pos-eased, he seemed singularly embar rassed. "Anyway," said he, "the sailor said that the doctor and his wife made an examination and gave the patient something. Then he regained consciousness, and demanded an at torney at once; said he knew he was oing to die and that he had to pro tect his daughter before then " Anne found tears stinging her eyes. Luke hadn't been trying to pro tect the canneries, but her. His last thought, his last breath almost, were - spent tor her sake. "The sailor said he figured he ought to get out but he didn't want to wade the creek to make It and decided to wait and see If he couldn't sneak out the door, later. "The attorney came In, and the dying man and he were closeted alone for awhile. "The patient, whom the sailor Identified as Luke Farnsworth, told the attorney that he felt his daugh ter was about to marry a man who waited her for her money only. Mr. Farnsworth said he had been look- nm:- mil Yr V 4V t J fir it w2 He knew he was Ing for proof that the man waa using his position with the canneries, to make money for himself; that he'd found him deceitful, oven cruel. "Luko was afraid the man would Insist upon marrying the girl Imme diately upon his death, purportedly to protect her, and that he would wiost the ownership of the canner ies away from her, In time, and aside from the cruel treatment of which he was capable, would leave her penniless. "TTB felt that If he pretended to " leave hor with only an allow ance which would enable her to live comfortably In the borne he was weaving nis nroioer, me man in ques- k tlon, one Rob Crocker, would not go through wilh the marriage, and that before flnnl disposition of the estate was made, she would have found him out, and would have turned to someone more fitted to the fine womanhood she represented. "Farnsworth also asked the attor ney to watch his daughter, and should she attempt to marry Croc ker, to see she didn't without first ascertaining whether or not a wo man living with Crocker's parents, near Hoseburg. was Crorker's first wife, and If the child, living there was not Crocker's son." "That's why ho would never take me to his people," Anne interjected. "I kept Insisting that we st least drive out to see them, and Ron al ways found some excuse." "Roll always would find some ex cuse. Anne." said Kellogg. "But the more you hear about his activities for the last few months, the less you think of his brains. I've never seen such a fool idea." Anne smiled a little shamefacedly "You're right as usualhut the plan almost worked so far as I was con cerned." "How could you know?" demand ed John N'cuman loyally, and the .Judge smiled a Utile private smile bs he watched tho young man and Anne. John wont on: "Luke Farnsworth learned that day, here In Astoria, that his first GRAZING ACT TEST I PORTLAND. XVc. 10 (.- Th? COn ttltut tonality of tl.

"I told him," Tecla put In meekly, "I could not have my brother's baby made unhappy by such a man." "Farnsworth said then, that ha might be wrong. He had no -definite proof of the charges, but that If Crocker were the man his daughter thought him, he would marry her and by the time the live years were up, he would have proved himself worthy. '"TpHEN here comes the Important part, ll, wnnin mai time, Crocker married any other woman, and Anne Farnsworth was con vinced of his duplicity, she would come Into Immediate control of all the Farnsworth properties, with Ansel Kellogg acting as general ad vlser and administrator, until such time as Kellogg felt she was capa ble of carrying on alone, "Certain bequests wore Itemized and these were to be made at that time." He paused a moment, then went on. "When I reached port, after my Alaskan trip, I found things In pret ty bad shape. The men were badly riled up over Crocker's alleged use of a bootleg trap. going to die, 'I asked the loader how Crocket got by with these things; why Lee, n general manager, didn't see that Luke's Instructions that fishermen have preforenco woren't carried out. "Ho told me that Lee had In re. allty retired, that Crocker, his son-in-law, was carrying on his. work. "Naturally, having heard the sailor's story, I was Interested and asked him how he knew. "It seems that Crocker has been a marked man among all fishermen along the coast, because of his treat ment of them, so when the Ahtl put Into Hoqlam. after a trip up the coast, some fishermen, trailing her, put in after them. "They found that Crocker, Miss S bar lee Farnsworth, Tom and Mabel Farnsworth, went Immediate, ly to the courthouse. "After they'd left, they had a Finn ish friend working there check up, and he discovered that Crocker had married Rharlee. They'd asked for no publicity, saying the marriage followed a death in the immediate family." "Oh," cried Anne. "I don't care In the least whom Hob Crocker mar rles -but to use Luke and Luclnda'i deaths as a means of keeping the thing quiet Is too much." Judge Kellogg frowned. "The trouble with you la that you don't realize that some people have neither honor, honesty nor even manners. Personally, I shouldn't be surprised at anything Crocker did, even murdor." Anne winced at the word "mur der." It brought back the day of Lee Farnsworth's death too vividly, and tho thought that hut for a swing ing wave, she herself would have been the victim. "Anyway," John continued, "I knew that at last matters had got ten beyond anything I or my friends could do. There waa bound to bo violence. And I was desperate."

This la ex plained by the fact that the motor nerves communicate with a nerve center In the thorax and not dir ectly with the brain which Is lo cated In the head encircling the gullet. The decapitated Insect can eaally continue to fly or walk, but lack ing the brain which Is the sup reme control of Its movement, It does so without direction.

For years, although the town of Grand Canyon, Artzona, was built on the banks of a fresh water stream where, year in and year out, fresh pure water suitable for domestic uses Towed, the town had to have all Its water supply brought In by railroad tank car 70.000 gallons every day shipped In from wells 100 miles away. The explanation Is this: The river Ready for Action 1 Senator McNary of Oregon, the Re publican leader, expressed "regret that the president did not touch upon a permanent agricultural policy, as this Is the all-Important phase of the sub ject."
