Streaked by snaky lightning, the Black thunderheads had cut off the lugering afterglow of the sun. Be- % ween herself and the wooded part “" of the island stood a clump of life- 45 less pines, liiting their gaunt arms % to the sky. % | It seemed to Sonya that all the Innumerable ‘swallows which she had seen tilting and volleying over the lake that evening had gathered **on those dead pines to sleep, for the branches looked fuzzy with them, and their faint twittering sounded like the purling of a stream. She flipped out the butterfly for a last time. Something struck it, struck hard. The reel spun, her light rod tugged and whipped. Be- i 'y{nd her at the woods edge a “stealthy figure slunk out to the s elump of pines, but Sonya’s atten- tion was all given to the fight on her hands, and she did not notice. Not until she had reeted in the struggling seven-pounder did she become alive to her danger. She had seen nothing, heard nothing, but she sensed that she was no long- er alone, and she whirled around. Against the lighter background of the water she saw a man’s head and shoulders between two of the dead pines. In a flash she understood his in- téntion; understood why he had fol- lowed her from the post and sneaked ashore so stealthily and .ut her off from heér canoe. Panic seized her, and the fishing rod dropped from her hands. For a moment she was over- whelmed by her desperate plight— ., the post so far away, those thunder- heads drawing the curtain of night across the sky, and herself alone on the island with that man yonder., -~ With a great effort she fought .. down her panic and made herself “think. It wouldn’t do any good to plead with him; he was one of those drunken shameless camp hangers- ~ion. She had no weapon to fight him “ with, and in a physical struggle he ¢ gould crush her one-handed. Her oily chance was to outwit him some- * how and get to her boat. as F J H i HE let her creel and net lie, but P picked up her rod wgain and . Stepped back off the narrow tongue ‘ot rock where he had almost cor- nered her. i The man moved away from the pines and came nearer. He was lurching unsteadily, Sonya noticed. ‘She believed she stood a good Zichance to elude him, rush to her canoe and get it afloat before he could catch her. In order to have a strip of open sand for her dash she moved toward the landwasi. “You t'ink you run 'way, heinf” the man taunted jn a drunken chuc- kle. “Huh, dat canoe of your, she 8ll cut op to de debbil! I slash her so . you mno get ‘way. Me, I wise—no? You and me, we stay here on dis leetle islan’ Sonya's heart stopped- beating. Her canve, down the ‘landwash— *“%e'd found if, wrecked it!

And then, as those_two_ figures stalked nearer and nearer he went suddenly berserk. His hand dropped to his belt, whipped out & glittéring hunting knife, and with a yell he lunged at the two. THE younger stranger drew an automatic and leveled it at the 'breed. “Stop!” he snanped. “Put down that knife, you!” “Put up your gun, Paul,” the clder stranger ordered. “I'll handle kLimn and his frog-sticker.” Without a gun or knife or any weapon st all, he tensed himself to Somathing struck at Sonyi"; hook. meet the vicious rush. Sonya trem- bled with fear for him. The 'breed was taller than he and much heav- ier, and that flashing “nife was a wicked thing in a hand-té-hand bat- tle. But in the next few seconds some- thing happened—happened so swift- ly that Sonya could hardly follow it. As the ’breed’s knife swished down a hand shot out and selzed his wrist and wrenched it till the weapon dropped. The stranger bent a little lower and turned his shoulder to receive the charge. There was a moment of impact. In the next instant the 'breed was lifted bodily and went somersault- ing over bis enemy’s shoulder. Fair- 1y fiying through the air, he hit the, ground thump on his back, with gll the breath’and fight knocked out of of the darkness of the spruces. .

She peered € at the two fi - gires as they came on. they were. And that Y commanding’ voico was tringe too. They must be the two rospectors who had come to Rus- i' sian Lake that evening.
