For the last ten years he’s been with a city con- struction company. Their head archt- tect now. Bachelor quarters at the Frasier Club. Nothing out of the or- dinary about him that 1 could dig up, and I’ve been digging some.” “What about the other person?” “I've got you @ bang-up lead to work on. Just talked to a couple of Nichols’ friends who've met her several times. Her name’s Volkov, Sonya Volkov. Lives in Victoria, teaches in a private school, and’s secretary for the Emigré Society of Canada. That's all I was able to find out, but I’ve located a party here who knows her very well, and I think he can give you a lot of details about her. Shall I zip around for you in the staff car? .. . Good, I'll be there in twenty minutes.” Volkov, Sonya, Volkov—Curt re- peated the strange name to himself as he went back to-the porch. At least he knew he. name now, and within an hour he was going to find out something about her life, her background, After that she could never quite vanish from him. He rejoined Marlin outside. While they waited, A-K remarked casually: “Did you know that Laydon, the head of the Provincial Police, is go- ing to be relieved this coming fall?” “Is that so? Who's taking his place?” “You.” Curt’s cigarette dropped from his fingers. “I?” “If you want it. I've been doing some quiet investigating and I know the lay of the lanu. A dozen political hangers-on are after the job, but the Premier doesn’t want that kind. He Phoned me yesterday and asked when you could come to see him for @ personal conference. I can tell you Positively that if you want the job T’ve got enough support lined up to swing it for you. “No—" he waved Curt’s interrup- tion aside—“don’t thank me. I'm not doing this because you and I happen to be friends but because I consider you the best available man for that job.” Curt wanted nothing to do with the offer, fine as it was. He saw it as another attempt of duty to keep him’ from returning to the far North; another of the invisible bonds that were being thrown around him. But still he did not refuse it outright, then and there. z Baldwin came, and they started down town. Parking in a section of dingy stores, Baldwin took him up a creaky stairway and knocked at an apartment, A young man, a stocky hazel-eyed foreigner, opened the door, saw them, and bowed politely. “Meester Baldween? My fader he oxpect you and your freund, Kum in, pliz.” He Jed them into » small sitting room and stepped out father. issih RT glanced about the room, Everything in it breathed of| imperial Russia—the ikon of Holy Mary,.a sword above a bookcase, a cheap lithograph of Nicholas II, a Kremlin snow scene, a samovar on the table. It was typically the dwell- ing of an émigré, living in poverty, futilely hoping that some day the old order would be resurrected from its grave and they could return to homeland, estates, ease, An old man came in the room, fol- lowed by the son. His hair was white, his thin face ravaged with furrows. Curt judged him close to eighty. He ‘was astounded later to learn that the man was only fifty-seven. Baldwin introduced: “Feodor Ple- Khanov, I want you to know my com- rade, Mr. Ralston. He is the one of _ 1 spoke.” old a on oe ae eee him, His hand was bony, he looked so tired and despairing, and his eyes seemed to hold some great fear in their depths—memories, probably, of that horror traf! out of Siberia. He broached his purpose care fally. “Mr, Plekhanov, as my friend here told you, I’m a government agent gathering data about the varie ous foreign associations in this country. Our object is altogether friendly; we're merely making rew ords of their personnel and activities, Miss Volkov is secretary of your s0- ciety, and_I’d like to find out a few facts about her. My friend tells me that you know her quite well.” “Yes, I know Princess Sonya for. twelve years, and her father before that.” “Princess Sonya—?” “Her father is Prince Stephn Vol-' kov.” Curt caught his breath sharply. “Prince?” he managed. “A courtesy title?” Plekhanov smiled, a bit conde. scendingly. “You know very little about Russian heraldry, friend. The Volkovs are an o!d Kiev nobility, one of the oldest in the Empire.” He told his son, “Bring our guests the picture that Prince Stephn gave us.” Curt whistled beneath his breath. Sonya’s father a prince! He had sus- pected she was well-born. But he had never imagined that her blood was quite so blue, and she herself had not once hinted tit she was of noble birth. “You mentioned her father—does he live here in Canada?” “At Victoria, And her brother Carl.” “What do they do?” “When Prince Stephn first came over, he accepted work in a lumber yard as a grader of timber. Like any common muzhik.” Plekhanov made @ gesture of shame at his country- man’s lack of pride. “He rose in his employment; he is some official now, and Car! is a field expert for the com- pany. For a time Sonya was govern- ess in a rich family at Victoria. Now she is teaching language in a pri- vate school.” ‘HE son handed Curt a photo, a medium-sized studio portrait. With a queer mixture of feelings Curt looked at the picture of Sonya’s father. At his first glance saw. Sonya’s resemblance to him—her stubborn determination and that proud poise to her head came natu- ral—he could see the traits in every line of her father’s face, He passed the photo to Baldwin and listened to what Plekhanov was saying. He had first met Prince Stepho more than a generation ago in St. Petersburg, Plekhanov said. A man of brilliant parts, Sonya’s father had been very close to the imperial court! at one time, but his liberal views finally brought him into clash with the reactionary clique that sur rounded the Czarina. As a genteel banishment to Siberia, he was made commissar of the Crown forests along the Yanisei. When the Empire crashed, he threw in with Kerensky’s Provision- al Government, organized the vast Irkurtz region in southern Siberiq and ruled it for tre White Partizans, When Kerensky in turn was oven thrown by the Leninists, the Reda put a price on his head. His long Mberal record did not save him; # nobleman, an estate holder, a mod- erate, he was automatically con- demned. At Irkutsk, Sonya’s mother and sister and younger brother were seized and shot, their home burned, their immediate friends killed. Her father was at Vetemsk on the Lens when he got word of the butchery. and by a provident mercy Sonya and Carl were with him at the time, Taking his two surviving children, he fled into the Lena Woods om horseback, a hunted fugitive; and began the long horror of the escape. “I met the Volkovs in a woods om Lake Baikal,” Plekhanov recounted, his heart full of his subject. “Sonya was but thirteen then, and her brother fifteen. It had taken Prince Stephn all winter to bring them across that four Lundred miles from Vetemsk.
