Marlin, to under- take the most important man hunt of his life. He is trailing Igor Kara- khan, international crook. The trail Nas led him to the tiny setilcment af Russion Lake, in the far Cana- dian northiwest, He and his com- panion, Paul St. Claire, sce a girl paddie across to an isiind to fish, just at dusk. Close behind is a half- breed. drunk and dangerous, Curt dislikes making aw enemy of any- one, but goes with Paul to the island, takes the half-breed’s knife away from him. and tosses it into the water. Chapter 11 SONYA NICHOLS ‘HE girl’s coolness surprised curt. Except for breatiing a little quickly Sonya was entirely calm aund self-possessed. She certainly had ceurage, he thought admiringly, cven if she hadn’t shown very much sense in coming over to that island alone. “T'd better take you back to shore, Miss. Your canoe’s a wreck. We saw it down there. It's not worth repair- Jing.” The 'breed got to his feet. “W’y \you tell dat yo'ng feller get my ca- noe?

As he felt her gaze upon him Curt knew she was forming her private opinion of him as a man. To be studied, labeled ad put into a pigeon-hole by her was a bit irritating. That was how Nich- ols the entomologist would study a new insect. “I wouldn’t have taken you for a prospector, Mr. Ralston.” Curt’'s paddle missed a stroke. “What makes you say that?” “Well, just because.” “I suppose I'm not the sourdough type, with trousers stuffed into my boots and a laurel thicket on my face,” he explained with a casual laugh. “I'm a book-learned geologist of sorts.

Curt flcated the ‘breed’s |canoey. helped his companion in, shoved away, and followed in Paul's wake. The girl took off her tam, wiped her forehead with a ridiculously small kerchief, and iooked back at the receding islands. For the first time Qurt observed her closely. He tried hot to stare but he could hard- 'ly help it. He did not remember that he hatl ever seen so beautiful a girl as this tenderfoot stranger. | She was odd and puzzling. Some- thing gbout her—he could not pin it davq}a any, one thing—gave him {$he 1 pression of aristocracy. The #ngers of her small brown hand resting on the gunwale were long and tapering; there was a proud poise to her head; her firm nose, archegd lips and ' delicately-molded {chin iseemed finely aristocratic. Brow'lah -golden and silky, her bair was so long that he knew it must reach to her knees when she combed it out loose. E stopped paddling a minute to 1 proffer her his opened cigarette case and lighter. She selected a cigarette, lit it slowly and deliber- ately. The little flame lighted up her face for a moment, and he saw her more distinetly—her long lashes. the brown of her eyes, the merest suggestion of a dimple in her cheeks. She *was about twenty-four, he judged; maybe twenty-five—it was bard to tell a girl's age, especially at twilight in a canoe. In a vague way he understood why he had not given her that “talking- to.? She was no child, like Rosalie Marlin, to be scolded or lectured. Bhe had character and depth to her, this stranger. Her thoughtful fea- tures showed a maturity far beyond her years, a maturity of mind and heart which Rosalie did not have and never would attain. But all in all he did not know ttention. | “But you do want to| be more careful than you were to-| night.” He had meant to give her a | nger like me—1 can’t | dernes | whether he liked ber or not. She was strangely beautiful, with the face of a Madonna and the body of |on a field words. Her English was precise and | ish was not her | s roamer. A'S he drove the canoe along he 43 wondered just who and what she was. Ralph Nichols’ sister, yes; 1o doubt accompanying her brother ; but those were mere surface facts, not explaining the girl | If. her: She was so full of contradictions that he could not classify her at all. She w no jewels, her clothes decidedly inexpensive, her rod was a cheap dollar thing that he would not have carried home; yet she had the gracious easy refine- ment of good birth and culture. Back yonder on the island she had stood up to an ugly danger liks a man, yet she was exquisitely femi nine—Dby comparison Rosalie Marli1 seemed almost unladylike. He wished he could stop thinking so unfavorably of Rosalie. “Are you intending to be here a Russian Lake very long, Mise Nichols 3 “We're leaving tomorrow morn ing.” Curt felt disappointed to hear she was going away so soon. Asidi from her being a girl, she was 1 person worth getting "better ac quainted with. The strangenes: about her baflled and fascinated him She was like the breath of som¢ rare perfume, delicate, unforgetable Her old-world manner, the Spartar courage she had shown, and hel splendor of brownish-golden hair made him think of a girl out of some¢ old Scandinavian saga. They drew near. the shore. Some where among the sian ruins ¢ horned owl hooted its weird eight noted call. Curt pointed at the din outlines of the post and tried tc make talk. “I suppose you've heard the wild yarns about that place, Miss Nich ols?” “Those ‘yarns’ aren’t half as wild as the real facts, Father Lespérance was telling me yesterday about the actual history of this old fort. You see, he discovered the records. They were hidden in a niche above the main door, and-a stone tumbled dur ing a thunderstorm, and that's how he happened to find them.” While they drifted on in she sketched him a few high lights from the story. A hundred and forty years ago a tribe of Indians, the Kloso hees, had lived around the shores of Russian Lake. The Cossacks came inland, eubjugated them by trick- ery, forced them to bring stone and make the buildings; and then began robbing, extorting, torturing. In a single generation the Kloso- hees dropped from a tribe of four hundred people to a mere remnant of eighty. But then an avalanche fell upon the fort one night, an -ava- lanche of vengeance, which had been damning up for twenty years. (Copyright. 1933. William B.
