F SYNOPSIS: The first pcrsom Curt Temnyson sees when he re- turns to Edmonton after a winter spent hunting wolves in the sub- Brotic 18 Rosalie Marlin, whom lie expects some day to wiarry. The second s A. K. Marlin, her fatier, his old chief in_the Royal Mounted. A-K wants Curt to track down Tgor EKarakhan, international agok, who has sluded the Moint- ed for 9 months. Curt has an offer of a good iob, and does not want to veturn to the Mounted force. But the sight of A-K—gray. bowed un- der his many cares. changes lis mind. Curt agrees to help him, Chapter Five ON THE WING 'URT swore to himself that when he got through with the Karak- han business he was through and done and would not allow himself to be entangled any deeper. “I'm not ‘still a Mounted,’"” he denied. “I'm taking this on to pay back a little fraction of what I owe you, A-K, and because—well, I guess I'm part wolf-hound and can’t resist a good chase. If 1 run that fellow down it'll be worth half a dozen Consolidated jobs.” %There won't be any You'll take him.” He tried to say it confidently, to hide his own doubts. At the best Curt had only an outside chance. The difficulties of the hunt were ap- ‘if,’ Curt. BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG '~ B\LONE AND DESOLATE=- SULLY GRIEVES SILENTLY FOR HIS LITTLE PAL-— ORBIDDEN VALLEY by William Bynon Mowery WHILE THE MYSTERIOUS “PETE, THE PENMAM 5 GRINS IN UNHOLY GLEE AT THE SUCCESS OF HIS FIENDISH SCHEME While Smash pumped the pon: toons dry, Curt stripped the canvas | hool from the radial and inspected. | Shoving away, they climbed into the | cabin, cranked the inertia starter and stood out into the lake. At the | controls, Curt skimmed north two miles to warm the motor, veered around into the light wind, and gave the plane the gun. Dancing down lake, he reached speed, rocked the stick and jumped the ship into the air. He circled once for altitude, passed over Edmonton, a mile above the still-sleeping city: and headed west, toward the snowy Selkirks and the Pacific Coast. As he flew along, his eyes were on the horizon over the plane’s nose, but his thoughts went on beyond that horizon to the weeks and months ahead. He wondered where the Karakhan hunt would take him and what the veiled future held for him. 1 | | [ | | | | | I | | | | | AST Calgary and the Blackfoot Selkirks, they dropped down on | Okanagan for gas and oil. Smash took the stick then, and they flew | on, through the heart of the Rockies. | The trip was altogether different from monotonous flying acroes palling. Yonder in that city of a hundred and thirty thousand a cer- tain wan had disappeared last fall. He had stepped out into the flowing streams of humanity and those streams had closed over him, oblit- erating every trace. Sarewd detectives, men like In- spector Baldwin, had miserably failed to track him. The scen. was cold, nine months cold. As immedi- ate havens for Karakhan, down the west coast lay a score of cities rang. ing up to a million; and across the Pacific yawned all the teeming ports of the Orient. And yet he was asking Curt to plck up that man’s trail and run him to earth! It was like trying to find a cloud one had seen last week. Be- sides all those tremendous handi- caps, Karakhan had always been a shade better than any man ever sent after him. He had the power of money, the advantage of a cold trail, and the whole world for his hiding place. But at least it would be a magnif- fcent hunt. This battle between Tennyson and that criminal of two continents was going to be a battle worth watching. He wondered how Curt would go about the search. What methods could he use that hadn’t been used already? “Have you got any idea of how you're going about the business, Curt?” Curt nodded. “T'm going to make use of his weak point.” “ ‘His weak point'—7” “Women,” Curt said tersely. EARLY the next morning Curt and Smash checked out at the hotel, ate breakfast, and taxied through the gray wet dawn to Cooking Lake. At a private pler Curt’s trim am- phibla. was rocking on the wavelets. A three-place cabined plane, the sturdy ship had carrfed him and :Paul and Smash all over the Kee | watin barrens, up and down the wa- ter-logged Mackenzie country, and westward into the unknown Aretic Rockles. Across long “dry hops” where & konking motor would have meant a fatal crack-up, it had taken them unfatteringly, so that they had come to look on if as one of them, a silent partner plains country. At Yale they struck the Fraser, | followed it on west, and reached | Vancouver an hour before noon. | After registering at the airport, Curt sent Smash to the Marlin home | where A-K had invited them to stay | while in the city. He himself went | directly to the Mounted headquar- | ters. | Of his former associates on the Silent Squad the only two still there were Arnold Baldwin, now an inspec- | tor, and Duty-Sergeant Holden. | “So the Old Man clapped you on this case, eh?” Baldwin remarked, in his precise Oxford. He resented it that an outsider had been brought | in, and took no pains to hide what | he felt. “Well, youre damned wel- | come, Tennyson! I'm glad to give over and let someone else do the failing.” | Curt paid no attention to the re- | sentment. There was work to be| dove, not personalities to be in-| dulged. | At a desk in Baldwin's office he went over the whole Karakhan case with the inspector and Holden, Fail- | ing to trail Karakban, they had| planted inquiries in his old haunts‘ abroad; but the Cossack had not gone back. They had tried to trace | his swindle money to banks or de- positories, but he had turned it all | into unregistered securities, as anonymous as cash. | They had sent tracers to the var- | fous societies of Russian emigres, | shadowed his Vancouver acquaint- | ances and watehed their mafl, and | had made all the customary contacts | with police agencies in the States, | the empire and Europe. When the conference ended, Bald- | win tilted back in his chair and | looked challengingly through his | cigarette smoke at Curt. | “Well Tennyson,” he demanded, | “can you improve on our work?” “1 don’t see how; you've done a real job, Arn,” Curt said, rather ab- sently. He was studying a picture on the desk, the picture of a black- haired girl of twentytwo. “This Mathieson girl"—he indicated the photo with his cigarette holder— “was she very well acquainted with | Karakhan?” | (Copyright, 1938, Willlam B.
