he found tall fir tree on the edge
of a woodland. There he spent the
night. He didn't sleep too well. He
kept waking up. You see, it was a
strange place. But nothing happened
to him, and he was out bright and
early the next morning. He was un-
decided whether to go on or stay in
that vicinity for a while. The mat
ter was decided for him. -Four other
Crows came along. They were strang-
ers to him, but that didn't matter.
He Joined them, and asked where they
were going
Nowhere in particular. We're just
wandering along, hoping to find a
place where it is easy to pick up a
good living. and perhaps to get away
from the ice and snow. Why don't
you join us?" one replied.
Thanks; believe WILL" replied
Blacky. You see, back where I have
lived in the Green Forest, Whitley the
Snowy Owl and Terror the Goshawk
are now living. Whitley lives near the
edge of the Green Forest and hunts
out on the Green Meadows. 1t really
isn't safe for an honest Crow there
any more"
I'VE know" replied one of the
others. I'VE stopped in the Green
Forest last night, and we left one of
the party behind
"You did what?" asked Blacky.
1--WE left one of the party behind"
replied the other Grow sadly. Ter
ror the Gosllawk got him."
"That settles it," said Blacky. "I
won't 60 back there while there is any
chance that those two robbers are liv-
ing there"
So Blacky joined the others and the
five gradually moved southwark, fol-
lowing the Big River. They found
open places, and occasionally some
thing to eat washed up along the
shore. You see, they were not at all
particular what they ate. They
couldn't afford to be. They were SO
glad in these hard times to get any
thing to eat that they were not at all
fussy as to what it was.
In the middle of the afternoon they
went looking for place to spend the
night. They didn't dare wait until
dark. No matter how bold Grow is
in daylight, he is very much of a
"fraidy" at night. ALI FIVE were alike

away from the Green Forest. He
had not deliberately left the Green
Forest, with no intention of coming
back, but he continued to wander far
ther and farther, until as it got later
in the afternoon, he was so far down
the river that he knew he couldn't
get back to the Green Forest before
dark. Then he didn't dare go back,
lest he encounter Hooty the Great

| two arms toward the water, holding
it between them. The thought OF
ever having to leave it; to pass those
protecting barriers, brought a rush
of fear.
"Nikki! oh Nikki!" A strident
voice which could belong to no one
but Lisa sounded from below. Anne
stood up and looked over the rough
board fence which bound the deserted
garden to its hillside.
I'm up here" she answered.
$50 will be, in minute" came
the tart rejoiner, and a moment later
Lisa hove in sight, arms burdened
with waxed paper packages, coffee
pot, tin cups dangling from crooked
| little finger.
Nice here" she observed, as she
, topped the steps. Picnic, sit down" /"
Anne sat. Lisa gathered a few
rocks, a few twigs and took cover
from one bag. then after starting a
little fire, over which she balanced
the coffee pot, she turned to the girl.
You know of course that you can't
stay on at Tecla's; there isn't room. ="
Anne just had been telling herself
the same thing. but hearing 1t from
another came as a shock. She looked
at Lisa. She had bent over to tend
| to the fire and the queer conical
shaped pile of hair she wore on top
of her head slanted sideWiSe like a
hooligan hat Anne wanted to laugh
and cry at the same time.
But but you see Aunt Lisa,
I intend to pay board, it isn't"
"Of course you do" barked the
woman, Strengthening up and send
ing the cone Of hair to the opposite
side with a quick slap. "Drat the
thing" she snapped, and gouged it
to temporary balance with hairpin,
"of courses you do, but there isn't
room for you. Isn't room for me
either"
Where would I go?" The COM
plete hopelessness of the girls voice
caused the woman to crane her neck
in a nearsighted survey of the
speaker.
Bless my soul and body. you didn't
think I was driving you out, did
you? Oh, Nikki, and here was
thinking I was about to make such
hit with you you'd never want to
leave me- Child, listen, how about
taking a little place together, here
| in Union Town. Now don't speak,
she held up a warning hand, hear
me through first"
She let Anne wait, however, until
she had cut two willow saplings and
stripped them Of leaves. Then she
stabbed a frankfurter on each, hand
ed one to the waiting girl and mo-
toned for her to hold it over the

IT know I'm an old crank" she
began. "Oh yes I am, but I'm not
half as cranky as I could be II had
chance. Nikki, I love every blessed
child in that family, but you can't
expect growing boys to be quiet and
you can't expect them not to have
company and you can't expect them
not to tear the roof off the house.

we could rent it for $40 a month.
We'd have to do a lot of repairing
inside. but it would be worth it in
the long run
Don't owners do things like that?"
Anne inquired meekly, looking up at
sagging shutter
"Tecla's the owner" came the sur
prising answer, "but she's never had
money enough to make it habitable
and therefore she couldn't rent it.
That brother of mine never left her
anything that didn't need upkeep
before it could be made Profitable; /;
seven children and two broken-down
houses, bah!"
Into the white cheeks of Anne
came flush of pink, and the dark
eyes sparkled with the first interest
they had shown. "Oh that would be
fine. She'd be getting something out
of the house, and we could be fixing
it up for her all of the time"
If We didn't let her know it," in
terposed Lisa. MY dear, there's
nothing as independent as a Finn.
We pay our way and we pay our
debts, but we never accept favors we
can't return. If you only knew the

board from me-"

They rounded the western face Of
the house, went up the slanting
shelf-like yard to the front entrance
which opened onto a dirt road, the
highest on the hillside. The dool
was locked, but a broken window was
readily unlatched and they climbed
through to the interior.
Anne looked about her in dismay
Five, small box-like rooms with plaster

in this respect. SO by the time the
Black Shadows came creeping out
they were snugly tucked away in a
big pine tree.
The next day it was the same way
They hunted along the river for any
thing that might have been washed
up. They hunted on the meadows
for Mice. They visited some farm
yards, in the hope of finding some
corn scattered for the hens. Two of
them visited a pigpen, when the
farmer was not around, and they got
a good meal. So little by little they
made their way farther and farther
down the Big River, until at last
they came to broad, brown marshes
which the water covered for a while
each day. And it was there that
Blacky met a cousin.
Blacky didn't see him at first. He
mistook this cousin for one of the
Crows he had been travelling with. 1t
wasn't until the other spoke that he
realized his mistake. 1t was a cousin
he never had seen before. In fact, he
hadn't known that he had such a
cousin.

CHAPTER XXI.
LIISA'S PLANS.

A SLOW smile touched Anne's
n pale lips. At least she could
~ make Nina happy, and ease
Il life a little for Tecla. Mnna
had said the boys might buy a
gilnetter of their own. She could
loan them the money for it, and in
stead of Miina's taking Teclas place
in the cannery, she could go to busi-
ness college as she'd dreamed OF
doing
When Anne awakened the next
morning the house was still. A fresh
wind billowed the curtains, sunlight
flooded the room. Donning robe and
slippers, she opened the door and
listened-no sound of voices, or foot
steps. She called once, and receiving
no answer went down the steep mar
row stairway.
The big kitchen was empty. The
round table was set for one, and
before the plate, tipped against a
cup, was note:
"Nikki: I'm off to work. The kids
are taking their lunch. Open the
draughts and the fire will pick up
Coffee on back of stove, bread IN
green box ewith red roses. In the
coolers some stew to heat up for
your lunch. Aunt Lisa says to take
the magazines in her room. She's
coming home early today. Don't
bother about the work. Love, Milna.' y
Anne looked about the room. The
dishes were unwashed but neatly
stacked in the sink. Miina's couch
was open, it looked tumbled. as ii
she hadn't slept well.
Anne went back to her room, found
an old housedresS of Miina's and set
about her first houseWork. This was
different from the kitchen of her
old home where she had played at
housekeeping under the amused eyes
of the servants.
An hour later, unable to find any
thing else she could do. she slipped
into an old sweater and went out
on the rear porch, which backed up
against the hill. A steep wooden
stairway led to a ramshackle old
house above. Anne looked at it a
moment. 1t was deserted. There
would be a good view from there.
There was. Finding sheltered
sunny corner in the yard, she settled
down and for a while was content tc
sit basking IN the sun, looking down
or Union Town, the wharveS with
their drying fish nets, the red can
neries jutting out into the water.
From here she could see how the
two bays joined the Columbia to
pour their waters into the Pacific
Ocean, marked by the lip of foam at
the bar, and a line of black rock
jetties. Riding gently on the broad
expanse were numerous small boats
drifting with the tide, net buoys
cleaning red.
Anne remembered the last trip on
the Anti and how she had told Luke
that she felt as though she were
only then coming home, and he had
seemed startled. Well, perhaps it was
to be home, for a while at least.

REQU|S|TESL|STED
FOR RADIO SINGING
Vivid Vocal Personality Is
Put First by Andre
KosteIanetz.
OUTSTANDING radio singer

A N OUTSTANDING radio singer
~ must possess five major re-
~ quirements, according to Andre
a n Kostelanetz conductor Of the
Columbia program starring Lily Pons
and Nino Martini.
He lists these requirements in the
following order:
l. A vivid vocal personality"
2. wide range of tone color in
the voice.
8. An individual style of singing.
4. The voice must be devoid of all
tremolo.
5. For technical reasons the artists
breath control should be highly de-
ve!oped.
mo matter what fine qualities the
able singer offers in concerts, in opera,
or in films" Kostelanetz said. radio
presents an entirely new range of
problems-and above all the micro
phone selects its own stars.
"The most difficult thing to find
! among able singers is vocal per
sonality' that will be faithfully car
ried over the microphone 1t is this
elusive quality or the lack of it that
lies at the bottom of every vocal prob
lem in radio Few listeners realize
that when they hear an attractive
voice on the air they are much closer
to the singer than if they occupied
the most expensive seat in an opera
house or concert hall The slightest
flaws in a singers voice are glaringly
revealed by the representative micro
phone
In the concert hall or opera house
the singers gestures, personality, ap-
pearance and clothes all contribute
important elements to the apprecia-
tion of the voice But in radio all of
the singers outstanding qualities of
character and personality must be
embodied in the voice alone And one
must remember that the microphone
Is also microscope"
