s P2KJE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1935. MS HIGH COURAGE LJfri-ibr (Je.nn. Chapter i MUDDY ROAD "TT WAS then I sent for Miss Farns. worth," said John Neuraan. "knowing aha was the legal owner ot the canneries." "You might tell Anne how you found the other evidence," suggested Kellogg. "That was easy," John smiled; "ev. ery fisherman on the waters was In terested In freeing her. Bit by bit they brought In little things and by piecing them together we built up the true story of what had happened And of course I cabled for Judge Kellogg as soon as I learned MIsb ; Anne had been charged." "Why didn't you bring this evi dence to me?" the district attorney asked. John faced the man soberly. "I should have done that," he acknowl edged, "but It's an old Finnish cus tom to trust no one while he's in the enemy's camp. I wanted to wait and let Kellogg tell you. I felt his word would have more weight than a fish erman's." t There was a knock at the door. When the district attorney came back he turned to Anne. "Mrs. Lee ,Farnsworth wants to talk to you." Anne hesitated a moment, then squaring her shoulders said, "All right" Mrs. Farnsworth stepped Into tho room, smiled at Anne, and with open arms came across to her. Anne watched Charlotte approach her, and stepped back from the out stretched arms. "Dear little niece," she began, "you don't know my relief at finding you not guilty of that dastardly deed. Oh, we've grieved so over you." "Thank you, Mrs. Farnsworth," said Anne. "Aunt Charlotte, dear." "You asked me once not to call you that," Anne countered. "I'm the same girl now that I was then." f "I waa distraught, the tragic death of those two loved ones and every thing at such odds. You'll forgive me, Anne?" It doesn't matter," Anne turned away, then after a moment turned back, "and I'm terribly sorry about Uncle Lee. I loved him, truly." "You're coming home with us now, Anne, right back to your own little rooms and maybe we can find Yvon- "That Is your borne," Anne coun tered, and turned to Tocla and John. "My home Is with my people." "But my dear girl," Mrs. Farns worth's sweetness was vanishing, I "you enn't pretend you can handle ! everything yourself. You come home jwlth us and we'll take care of you. I Rob can go right on taking care ot jtbe canneries, because you must ad jmlt, Anne, that a mere girl can't ihandle the business. Don't you think l'm right?" she appealed to the men !ln the room. fpHEIlE was only silence to answer her question, until at last Anne went to the district attorney's desk, asked for pen and paper, sat down and wrote Industriously. "Will you sign this please, Judge Kellogg?" she asked. "Gladly," agreed her frlond after glancing over It, and scrawled bis name on the paper. Mrs. Farnsworth took the paper and read It aleud: "TV Itobert Crockr!

"Why, you young snip," Charlotte Farnsworth'a poise had loft her, "do you think you can do a thing like this while there are courts of law In this Innrt?" "I'm depending upon the Justice of those courts," Anne answered calm ly. Then she turned to tha others, ".May I go home now?" She pniised and realized the last time she had made that remark was two months ago, before the doors of the Jail clanged shut behind her. "I've my car here," offered Kel- lOgK. "Then will you drive Tecla home, and glvo her lots of money? We're going to hnve a festival and I want everyone In Union Town there. Buy lota of food and coffee, everything they like. And Tecla, toll Mtea she has her Job back, and If any of the fishermen reach there before I got , i 1 1 ' .J'OYhey! HEY!) i'li'V I GUY'S tW2yHAs fresh!

"John and 1 are going to walk home." She tmlled as everyone echoed, "walk." "You don't know how good It will seem to walk along without bumping Into bars." With John she escaped from the court-house through a rear door, then silently they plodded along through the gathering twilight. For a while Anne was content with the Joy of walking, ot taking long steps, swinging her arms, breathing deep and looking up with nothing to obscure her gaze of the sky, a sky mottled with the faint ambertlnged gray ot the clouds. And then there seemed the necessity of words. "John." she ventured, "remember tbe night I first came down here and Tecla met me at the door? Do you remember how she acted and what she said?" "Yes," he assented, "she said 'An nlkkl, Enkell.' She thought ahe was seeing the ghost of your father's twin sister, who's name was Annlkkl,' and for whom you were named. How ever," he added, "I didn't know It at the time." "Let's take the old road over the hill top, the one that comes down In back of my house," Anne suggested, as they neared a cross street. "It may be muddy," John de murred. "I'd like that," she confessed, "nttrt these weeks of walking on the highly antiseptic floors of hospitals and Jails I'd like some nice brown gumbo on my shoes. " JOHN," as they turned up a shrub J lined road, "why did Ilob Croc ker have the revolver oiled and buy the cartridges, If Tom was the one who was going to use It?" "I Imagine Tom was cunning "enough to provide that alibi. It the revolver hadn't been found and Idcn tided as Luke Pn ins worth's, he couldn't have been connected with the sbootlng. To me, Nlkkl, It proves premeditation. He can say what he pleases about merely having It handy for protection of the canncrjos. I be lieve he hoped to find you alone, sooner or later." Anne shuddered, looked at tbe dense bushes growing along the road side, and drew closer to John. ""You needn't worry, now," he as sured her, "Tom was taken to Jail right away and he won't be allowed out on bail." "And Rob?" "Arrested by the federals as he left the courthouse. They've succeeded in connecting him with the bootleg trap. The men working on tho legal traps wore willing to Insist they wore owners, but those on the boot leg trap confessed in the hope of get ting Immunity." "Poor Sharlce," mused Anno, and John looked down at her with a queor smile. "You're generous," he commented.' "But she wasn't to blame for any thing. With a mother like Charlotte, how could she have been different? John, I hetlevo I'll seo that she and Aunt Mabel take a trip abroad to for get." "And Charlotte?" "As Lilsa says, 'drat her.' My gen erosity stops there. I believe she's as guilty as Rob or Tom. She should be spending the balance ot her days In the Salem penitentiary, also. "Nlkkl," they had reached the top of the hill and were looking down on Union Town, looking out on the Pa cific. Behind them night was crowd ing over the hills, but out there the afterglow still smudged the horizon with topar. "Nlkkl, I won't be far from Salem, after thta week." Anne felt her breath catch, a pain stab at her heart. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I'm going to Corvallls. Had a wire from the coach he wants me to come down and take over the Junior teams." "And your boat" she stopped short. There wouldn't bo any trawler, because John had prohnhly spent his money saving hor from prison; per haps that was why she had roceived such special care at the hospital. It hadn t occurred to her to ask who had paid the hills for all of the ser vice she had received. She looked at John. So, like Rob, ha was going away, going to leave her to face hor new problems alone. Only she knew why he was going. He had tnken the soft hat from hla hend and was standing, looking out to the sea. the fine features set In grim, hopeless lines. fCorifriplir, UJJ, by Jtannt Bitvmn) Monday.
