Instead. to help his foymer chief in the &oyal ounted. 4. K. Marlin. he starts ek dsowis. man. ikt of his career — trailing lgor Kara- khan, international crook. At Van- couver Curt discovers that Kara- khan had known Helen Mathieson, and from her he learns that a flyer named Gunnar had taken Kara- khan on many airplane trips. and that fust at the time the Russian had disappeared. Gunnar had made a suspicious departure from Vane couver. Chapter Eight INTO THE NOR.H 'URT went on eagerly: “Now, why did Gunnar lie about his clearance ar1 take on such a big load? And why should a P private plane, which wasn’t sched- lule-bound, venture up on a day when 'the commercial companies canceled their flights and a0 planes could get in? Il tell you why—Jim Gun- nar had important business on hand that day! “And one other question: Where did this youngster, who was just an ordinary barnstormer—where did he suddenly zot the eighteen thou- sand dollars for a new plane?” Baldwin and Holden exchanged glances of dismay. They had worked 'nine months on that case and here Icame along a person who baa struck . hot scent almost at once. How: {ever much they wanted to see Kara- ')xhan arrested, Tennyson was show- {ing them up too badly. | “Don’t jump to conclusions,” Bald- iwin argued. “Gunnar might just have been flying a plare-load of |whisky to an Indian camp or smug Igling something across the border |A lot of foreigners are taken into the States by air from here.” | “Maybe so. ['m mcrely saying |that the trip looks suspicious to me. |Holden, did that recoré give you any hint of where he di¢ go?” “Nothing whatever. The plane Just went away into the fog.” “You're sure there's no clue?” “Dead Sure. You can see for your- self. 1 made a copy of the clearance record.” Curt looked at the hastily serib- | bled sheet. Gas and oil were the first two items. Then foliowed a few trifling purchases—cigarettes, chocolate bars, a box lunch. “That lunch,” he commented, *“ought to have put a person wise that Gunnar intended to stay in the air for several hours. You don't iteke a lunch along on a forty-five !minute crow-hop.” His finger moved on down and stopped at a. entry |which read NC-5, 50c. “What's this item, Holden?” “Some gacget for *the plane, 1 suppose.” Curt believed so, too, but the in: finite patfence in him ‘ook mnothing for granted. He reached the phone, got the airport and asked the parts man what NC-5, 50c meant on a bill “That? Oh, that's for a Geology Service map—them strip maps that you hang inside the cab’n on . roller and roll up or down us you fiy elong. That NC-5 chart covers the sastion from Chilcotin north tc the Grand Trunk. Is that all you wanted to know?” “Quite all,” said Curt. “Thanks.” Baldwin whirled angrily on Hol den. “What a blighted timbertop. you. ‘Dead sure—nothing whatev er'—when the record beld a clue like that! And you gven copied it!” | Holden’s face reddened. Curt in terposed: “It's all right, Holden. caught that because I know some- thing about planes. Arn, senc @ con: stable down to get one of those NC-5 cLarts, won’t you?” WHEN the chart came, he spread it on a table for a careful study The map covered a strip 756 miles fw!do by, 400 long, ending at the Grand Trunk Railroad in northern British Columbia. Red dots showed where pilots could secure gas, and stars where some sort of mechan Jeal service could be expected. In that thinly settled country there were only two stars and four teen dots. Before leaving, that afternocn. he wrote night letters and sent them to 2!l the places that he coui' reach by wire. When he walked fnto Mounted | ORBIDDEN VALLEY ¥y Wikliam Byron Mowery Within an hour Curt and Smash were flying north in their ahlp. heading for Tellacet. | At the Edmonton hotel Marlin was surprised to have Smash Des- rlaines breeze in on him one after< noon three days later. “Hello, Smash! Where's Curt?” “Over in northern. B. C. At a llttlel jerk-water called Tellacet. He sent you this letter.” Marlin slit the envelope hastil Good news this soon? Impossible!—| even for Tennyson. The message was in the rumeral code ot the Silent Squad. He sat down at the table and began deci- phering it. The laconic sentences staggered him as he worked them out. Dear A-K: Baldwin and Y picked up Kara- Kkhan's trail at Vancouver. A flyer called Gunnar brought him north to this place. Karakhan then sent Gunnar out by train and went on north by himself in the plane. 1 suppose he was too cautious to let anybody knmow his exact destina- tion. 1 have reason to believe that he's hiding somewhere in the Lilluar Mountains. A hundred miles north of here Is a post called Russian Lake, the jumping-off place for the Lilluars. | intend to 2o there and try to trace him farther. Since a plane in that country would arouse suspicton, Smash will stand by here at Tellacet with the plane, to be on hand If needed: and the rest of the work will be done by canoe. By the way, don’t mention Kara- khan to Smash. He knows I'm hunting a man, but it isn’'t wise to trust him with any particulars. After he hands you this, he fa fiying over to Athabasca to get Paul St. Clalre and fetch him here. 1 need help on this, and Paul is the only person on ea:th whom I can trust absolutely. If this turns out to be a wilderness hunt, Paul will be worth ten ordinary men. So far at least it was a woman. Curt. THOUSAND yards off the north shore of Russian Lake, Curt and Paul stopped paddling & few minutes and gazed ahead at the trading post, looking the place over before they landed. The post lay at the mouth of the Lillnar River, a big mountain stream which had its origin 300 miles north, near the Yukon head- waters. As far offshore ar they were, its tumultuous current tugged strongly against the sider of their canoe. Small and unimrortant, the trading station consisted of a gaunt frame mission, a whitewashed Mounted Police cabin and a red- roofed Hudson’s Eay store—repre- senting man’s three ancie : institu- tions of religion, law, commerce. Five trapper and prospector tents were strung out down the land- wash: several shacks stood back at the wood's edge, and the leather tepees of a dozen Indian families reached up along the river bank be yond the mission. Curt turned his eyes from the trading post to the blue-hazy dis- tance up the Lilluar valley. “Lord, what a country, Paul!” l'e mused. The wild spirit of !t awed him Range after mighty range marched north out of sight, all of them top- ped with glaciers and .uge snow- flelds, their slopes cut by moraines and avalanche paths and mile-deep canyons. It was a primordial conn- try, as lonely and appalling as any- thing be had seen in the snb-Arctic. The sun had already slanted down behind the northwest ranges. In the evening hush the lake was as still as a mirror, but faraway west a mass of black thunderheads prom- ised a rainstorm before mary hours. A small group of people, pathered in front of the Bay store, Were look- ing at the canoe and poin.Lg; and several men had strolled out upon the little pier to meet it. The post was so wilderness-buried that two strangers in a boat caused a big stir. Paul gave the canoe a stroke to keep it headed straight. “I wonder whether Maw'selle Luck or Dame partner?” He spoke in French, as he always did with Curt, “That's what I'm wondering, Paul. We're walking fato a big blank question here. We baven't a ghost of an idea where Karakhan is hid- ing. He may be close' to this place or two weeks’ foot-slogging back in tuat God-forsaken Strong-Woods. See those people there? Well, any of them may be a spy of his.
