THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, NOV. 25, 1933. . BRINGING UP FATHER WELL-'LL GO DOWN TO THE OFFICE AN’ SEE HOw ME SON 19+ SUPPOSE HE'S SOUND kO \ . SYNOPSIS: Curt Tennyson has been persuaded by his former chief in_the Royal Mounted to under- take one mors man hunt. The quarry is Igor Karakhan, notorious international crook. The trail has and_ his partner, Paul St. 0 a_tiny Sottlement in_the n Northwest called Rus- sian Lake. Curt has rescued Sonya Nichols from the evil designs of a half-breed, and now a is tell- ing her savior the Y of the Cossack post that was the original settlement at Russian I ake. In re- taliation for years of torture and tribute, the Klosohee Indians had attacked the Cossacks, Sonya says. Chapter 12 THE OLD FORT J““vzm,lz the Cossacks were drink- | ing heavily,” said Sonya, “the { ty surviving Klosohees massa- cred them all, burned their bodies |in one huge pyre; and their old shaman laid the dread Thunder Curse on the place. Only the priest was left alive. “It was a summer night like to- night,” Sonya added. “Eight' men who escaped the first rush, barri- caded themselves in ome of the rooms, but the Klosohees chopped the door off its hinges and killed them, I imagined I could still see 'k stains on the walls of that Curt thought that the Indians he had seen on the landing that after- noon were a pretty mild set to be descendants of th fiery tribe who had battled the Cossacks to a stand- still, returning massacre for extor- tion. “The, he remarked. “They’'re as as coast Siwash now.” Oh, you're mistaken; the Indians around here aren’t Klosohees,” she corrected him. “They’re descendants of another band that used to live down toward Tellacet. The Kloso- hees fled back into the mountains fter that massacre, and they've ed there ever since. They're an almost unknown band. They live up north in the Lilluar headwaters, and p themselves isolated from other tribes, and they won't let white peo- ple come into their territory at all.” Curt recalled a time when he had sat on the pier at Fort McMurray with Inspector Jamieson of the In- dian Bureau, and Jamieson had told 1 about a “lost” tribe in the Lil- luar Mountains. These Klosohees might be the tribe Jamieson meant. According to Jamieson’s account they were a wild and unapproach- able clan, but not treacherous like the nomads of the Sikanni and Na- hanni countries. He had so far per- suaded the Indian Bureau to let them alone because they minded their own business and eclutched their freedom so pathetically. Gliding ashore, he beached the ’breed’s canoe and started up the path with his c)mpanion, As he watched her moccasins plag ‘n and out of the yellow circle of light that he directed at the trail, he thought what small things they were— smaller even tham Régina Du- charme’s. Once when her head bobbed close to his he caught the faint odor of thyme perfume, and it put him in mind of the thyme-scented kerchief which had unlocked that Spanish consul case for him in Montreal. But what a difference between that soft palid woman and this clean-limbed vital girl at his side! The touch of her hand on his arm, as he guided her past root-snags and shielded her from brush flipping back, was an experience such as he had never known with Rosalie Mar- lin. Although he had been acquaint- ed with her so short a time, he felt the impact of her personality, a very positive and cogent forca HE fort loomed up jast ahead. Startlingly near, the owl sounded its weird call again. Curt reached down for a stone anc sent it clatter- ing against the old building. A soft- winged shadow passed over them and they heard the angry clicking of the bird’s bill. At the door he flipped the light on the massive rocl: walls and the broad parapet twenty-five feet high where soldiers once paced sentry-go at night. A clump of devil’s club nearly choked the entrance. He pushed a way through the clump, and they stepped into the gloomy hallway that led d.wn the center. There were six rooms on the ground floor, but the second story was one big room, probably the Cos- sacks' assembly place. The roof had partly fallen in; the floor above had rotted, leaving only the thick beams: the dust of many generations cov- ered everything; but otherwise the ruin lay there as it had been left on the night of the massacre, one hundred and twenty years ago. Down the dusty hallway led a \fresh moccasin track, small and dainty. Curt knew it was Sonya’s, lon some previous expedition.
