PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD. OREGON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1935. HIGH COURAGE, by ttmaam Bowman, Chapier ib ONE MORE NAME "H, John was worth fighting for, Anns knew. Perhaps It wasn't the thing to do; perhaps It would take courage to do It. Anne straight ened her shoulders and lifted ber chin. "You know, John," she began mus ingly, "I had always thought you a man of your word, until this eve nlng." "What?" he challenged. "Last spring you said there could be only one girl you could ever love. And then later you said I was that glrL Didn't you mean It, John?" He looked down at her, face Immo bile, only bis eyes showing the tight leash he held upon himself. "What of It?" he asked, "you're Anne Farns worth." Anne saw an old log, she sat down on It and began to laugh, hysteri cally. "This is funny," she managed to say. "What is funny?" he asked. "Rob Crocker wouldn't marry me because I wasn't Anne Farnsworth." "Crocker was a cad," . John de clared emphatically, "you were well rid of him." "And now," Anne continued, "the man I really love, the only man I've tver actually loved, won't marry me because I am Anne Farnesworth." John waa silent Wind whispered through the firs; sounds from the town below drifted up to them, high clear voices and the bark of a dog. "Maybe you're well rid of him too," he declared at last, and grimly. "I guess you're right," she agreed, "It he Isn't man enough to help me shoulder the responsibilities I'll have to carry from now on, he Isn't the man I thought him. "Judge Kellogg Is getting old. It won't be long before he'll retire and then what will I do." Her voice grew hopeless. "I don't know a thing about business, and only a little about fish ing. I'll Just be prey for the Farleys and Crockers of the world." "You'll find someone you can hire," returned John, wearily. SUDDENLY Anne stood up and faced him "You . . , you Finn," she snapped, "ycu selfish thing you. Yon care more about your silly old pride than you do me. You'd sooner let me go around heartbroken, alone, with greedy men preying on my af fections trying to win my Inherit ance, than you would to sacrifice that pride, marry me and protect me. Afraid you can't repay me In money . . . money, as If ten million dollars could take the place of one moment of true love. "Oh why," she walled to the whis pering firs, and that far ocean, ". oh why, did I have to think I wa in love with a man like Rob, then fall In love with a man like you who's every bit as selfish as Rob. who thinks only of himself?" "Nlkki, don't!" John caught her Into his arms, halt crushing her with the strength of bis desperate em brace. "Nlkkl. I do love you, and you're right. I hadn't thought ot It that way. I'd only thought how It would look If I married yon like a money snatcher. If you eould only know the hell I've been through da; after day. Working, fighting, to help you win what was yours and know ing I was losing you. Nlkkl, you've two names now, do you still want a third?" "Right away," she agreed, with astonishing meekness. "I've -been a little unhappy with the other two, 1 think the third one will be tht charm." "And you don't think I'm the self Ish person you said I was?" he in stated. Anne smiled one of her rarr smiles. "No," she said. "I just haC to do something to arouse you." A shower swept up over the moun tains and reached the two on the hillside. The firs bent under the rush of wind and rain, whispering their eternal whisper. "t I 'HY, John," Anne lifted her face ' from the shelter of his rams "It's raining." "I know," he admitted, "It's been raining tor five minutes or so, and you should be home where It's dry and warm. Come on." He took her hand and they raced down the hill. They stopped a moment and looked at the grey shingled house. Figures were flying up snd dowi the steep stairway, voices sang ant shouted from the house, shadowr flitted past the windows, the festival was on. As they entered they saw Tecls seated near the hearth, her dlmplet showing, her face a roseate glow ol happiness. Llisa, striding through the room with a huge frosted cake reading "Welcome Home" In col ored Icing, stopped short. The gleam lng top knot at the tenlth ot Ita ca reer, bobbed a greeting with the sud denness of her stopping. "Look who's here," she chortled "Come In out of the rain, you goose.' and then she paused. "What are wf going to call you now? Anne Farns worth, Nikkl Nielsen or who'?" "How would Annikkl Neuman. do?" asked John, and his arm en circled Anne, the disturbing blue of his eyes challenging hers, as the shouts ot congratulations arose from the guests.
