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

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.
