THE DAILY: ALASKA- EMPIRE THlRSDAY NOV 16 I933 BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG DON'T FEEL SO BAD-- HE AIN'T WORTH |T--- : SYNOPSIS: Curt Tennyson re- twns to Edmonton from a winter of wolf hunting in the sub-Arctio in his plane, only to be asked by A. K. Marlin. his former clief tn tiie Royal Mounted. to undertake a hant that has bafled the police for nine months. The quarry s Igor Karakhan, Russian international crook. with whose nerarious career t is thoroughly familiar. But Curt refuses A-R. and leaves him to attend a party with A-K's danghter Rosalie, whom Curt plans some day to wmarry. Smash Des- viaines, his pal, is talking. Chapter Four “STILL A MOUNTED” WISH we were stepping out to- gether. You and me, we could bust this man’'s town wide open ‘That wouldn't be any trick a-tall compared to flying over the Thelon Barrens and swooping down at wolf packs with a machine gun. We'd start at one end of Jasper Avenue and roll the old street up into a tight cutl, like a pine shaving!” And when Curt ehook his head: “All right, then. But snakes!—I wish you'd come along.” He was sincere about wanting Curt; but also, and more to the point, he needed financial backing that evening, and he would have that it Curt went with him. As he brushed his rebellious hair he re V = | Marlin stood up .tected that on seveuty-five cents he Jeould take his girl to a two-bit show jand then have coffe: and doughnuts, | He thrust his watch into his pocket. His hand touched something crisp, like a bit of stiff paper. He pulled it out, glanced at it, stared ‘at it. “Hey!” He whirled on Curt. *Look at that! Am I drunk or dream- ing?” “What're you going into a tail- spin about?” “Why—why,” Smash gasped, “it's a twenty-dollar bill! In my pants pocket!” “That is a strange state of affairs, for you,” Curt remarked, not betray- ing himself by the flicker of an eye- lid. “You probably left it in there last fall, You haves't had that civil- ized suit on since then.” “By gosh, I must have! But that's the first time in my born days that 1 ever left twenty iron men in my pocket and forgot all about ‘em!” Ho did a jig dance in front ot the mirror. “What 1 mean, this comes along in the thin nick of time to save me from embarrassment.” “Cheerio. Stay out of jail.” S Smash went whistling to the elevator, Curt turned again and looked down, hands in pockets, at the light gleams on the river below. He was torn with indecision, one part of his nature pulling against the other. He could not clearly see or word the real significance of the struggle, but he did know that his conscience hurt him about A-K. Over at Vancouver headquarters Marlin had peeded him, needed young hands and a man he could trust; and he had deserted. And pow he was refusing even to help on this Karakhan business. What were. a few months of sacrifice compared to a whole lifetime of it, such as Marlin had given? As he thought of A-K's career and gazed down at the historical Sas katchewan, the Swift Flowing, bis imagination drifted back across the decades to a time before he was born; when Assiniboine tepees‘clus= tered where oflice buildings no stood, and the lights be, | | i SNIF - SNIF- I'D HAVE SAWED OFF MY LEG FOR THAT GuUY-/ TALK BEFORE I GO -7 I--1 NEVA ? AN' YOU DON'T THINK T SHOULD HAVE A WITH HIM MIGHT SEE HIM AGAIN ===~ ORBIDDEN VALLEY by William Bynon Mowerny were swaying torches of the Ricod | dance, and over the horizon came the rolling thunder ot buffalo herds chased by the hard-galloping Sioux. Blackfoot warred with Piegan, and the whigky trader corrupted both. Then across the prairies’ came riding a small band of men, wearing red tunics and yellow-striped trous- ers. Shagalasha — stern soldiers— they were called; and they earned the name. By heroic measures they set the land to rights and kept it so, while immigrant caravans poured in and the railroad came. It western Canada was the most law-abiding and peaceful region on the globe, it was largely thanks to their imperishable work in laying the very foundations of that so- ciety. Many of that original band bought out of the Force and went into'min- ing, ranching, lubering. The raw land offered them a glorious oppor- tunity to build personal fortunes, and they looked to their own inter- ests. But A-K, and others like him, stuek with the Mounted. A-K had given forty long years to the Force, and now he did not even own a home for himself. OMEWHERE in the city a chime sounded, breaking into Curt's reverie. Ho glanced at his watch, l [ Ashby staring at Curt. saw it was time for him to leave with Rosalie; and stepped down the corridor to the Marlin suite. Marlin looked up from.the table where he was working. “Rosalie’s down in the lobby meeting some | friends, Curt,” he said kindly. “She’ll be back in a minute.” He laid his pen aside. “Curt, Rosalie told me the details about that Consolidated offer. If I'd known them beforehand, I wouldn’t have mentloned this Kar- akhan matter at all. Of course you'll take that offer. It pays quite decent- ly, and you'll enjoy the work; but this other is just charity.” Curt winced. A-K’s very kindness and generosity hurt him all the worse. He suddenly realized that if he refused Marlin and went back north he would come near to losing his own self-respect. He had always thought of A-K with affection and admiration, as a stern old Roman; but in those moments, ‘as he saw how tired A-K was and how much his shoulders had stooped in the past year, a great wave of sympa- thy, of pity, surged through him, A-K seemed so much older, so much nearer the last mustering out, than he had been a year ago. Some- body ought to help him and be good to him; he had always helped others. “A-K"—he blurted out the fateful words impulsively, heedless of con- sequences—"I'm going after Kara- khan! I came in here a minute ago swearing that I wouldn’t; but I am; I've got tol” Marlin pushed back his chair and stood up, staring at him. “Why—why, Curt, you mustn’t do that. | waen’t expecting you to at all. Don't do it on the spur of the moment. At least think it over—" “I've thought it over. I can go back north afterward. This case means a lot to you and the Police and the public, and | ought to de my share.” Mariin reaenea out his hand. “You're still » Mounted, Curt. You always will be. You can’t get away from it.” rCopyright 1933 William B. Mowery) .

Put down as a piece of imag-| ination any suggestion that Ruth| would be interested or involved in | buying into a big league club, such | as the St. Louis Browns. In the first place the Babe can’t write any check big enough to interest the holder of a major league franchise. Most of hils im- portant money is tied up. And even if he could, his wife wouldn’t let him. There is well-defined reason for ! pelief that Ruth talked over a proposition to manage Detroit, on| a salary and percentage basis, depending on the gate receipts. This may have advanced no fur- ther than the conversational stage, but it is intriguing and holds | possibilities. It would be inter-| esting to see just how much dif- ference in the “gate” the Babe’s presence in a new setting would | make. This would depend, naturally, on how consistently Ruth could take his place in the lineup in 1934 and do the stuff that pulls ‘em through the turnstiles.
