THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, DEC. HARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG o SYNOPSIS: Curt Tennyson, Paul 8t. Clair, and Sonya’ Nich- ols, with her party, are slowly pushing into the mountain refuge of the dangstous Klosohee Indians. ‘urt’s real purpose is the appre- \ of . Igor Karakhan, mil- k; and -Sonya and her tand Pawl, and is re- esence i the moun- f. Earakhan. L Tame o e Chapter 18 WHO IS RALSTON? ‘ T was twilight in the moubtains. ? Where the sun had dipped be: 1 hind the northwest ranges it had J fett in the sky a plaque of reddish- !y golden, bordered with purple. Only & poorwill, whistling its repetitious 4 mating call near the Klcsohee lean: ¥ to's, and a family of young musk- £ rats splashing about the srude han- "} gat which housed Karakhan's plane, i Broke the deep mystic hush. His refuge, at the heacwaters of { thé Lilluar, had been all that Kara- khan had hoped for, and more. The & bIg cabin, his home for nine months, was comfortable with handmade fur- niture, bear rugs on the fioor, a spa- cious fireplace and even a small ra- dio. At his door lay a jade-green lake, ice-fed, teeming with steelhead and grayling. Just west of the lake two great mountains, Sunali and Dinag- gwah, had given him unimaginable shooting—moose and caribou, big: horn and goat and the surly trun- dling grizzly. The vigorous life outdoors had braced him, hardened him. The old weariness had vanished. In its stead a new energy floved in his veins, Yet he had grown tired of it all. Tired of the monkish austérity. Tired of his isolation from the world of men—and women. Tired of the rotgut whisky which LeNoir brought. Tired of slaughtering big: horns and hearing the lonesome scream of the eagle. Tired of the superstitious Indians who hurbored him and who had fallen under his sway. The city was a drug in bis veins, and he could not live for long without it. A few months more of ‘his, till he was sure that the hunt had been completely abandoned, and then his flight out, a port in the Orient, free- dom—and the wide world before bim! His fortune now, hovering pear three millions, gave him power to hunt bigger game. If he only could deliver gome smashing blow sgainst the Soviets, who had exiled him, confiscated his estates, killed his relatives and hounded him for years—that would be scope for his talents and game worth stalking! But LeNoir's report was -~ ripple %‘wlnd across the placid water. as the 'breed lying? He lit a goose-tallow candle and set it where it shong o~ LeNoir's face, but left his own In shadow. It was possible that just before the fiight out, when there va. no pros- _péct of more money, the ‘breed would betray him to the founted in order to collect a reward. Even dis- “ counting that risk, it was never wise to leave anyone behind who knew too much. ‘With no scruple or -»mpunction, or gratitude for LeNoir's faithful service, he intended to play safe— by doing away .with the man. He would need one more batch sup- plies, in August. He weuld let Le Lioir make that trip. And fhen he would guiétly slip him s dose of the strychnine with which LeNoir pol- goned wolves on his fur path. -“Just what sort of people are this v €uft Ralston and these two Nich- ols?” he askéd, tfying to trip Le- Noir up, 4 Lamflr told him Aglin, repeating the whole story. Karakhan's doubt about the re. port vanished. The detaiis came too readily to be manufactared, and they squared exactly with his first ‘account. APPING a fresh cigarette, Kara- khan reached the candlé. for & light. He had never known a Sonya Raiph Nichols; bnt the deserlp- tion of the girl—golden-brown hafr, | brown eyes, a faint accont--flashed a plcture of Sonya Volkov before ‘His blooll ran faster at the thought Qt NHer—in his loneliness he would ve given 3 small fortune to have d her there. But of cours. it was culous to imagine that this girl ht be Sonya Volkov. the had not o faintest notion where he w: #and she would not come {3 him, any- . the little puritan. ow far up :le Lilluar did you #4y they are?” he asked :eNoir. mus’ be 'most i de pas: pow. 1 leave dem ’bout forty-five miles below dere, an’ make beeg I‘n‘» here® - ¢ AT LAST SHE'S GONE - T HOPE 1 NEVER SEE HER UGLY PAN. AGAIN --- 1 GOTTA WHAT'S THAT ? SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE RUNNING - ? “They might be just some party of trippers making a little jaunt into the mountains.” “Non, non! Dey take on tov moch grub dere at Russian Lake. I talkit to dose guides an' fin’ out. Dey breeng grub for mebbe two mont treep.” “You say that this Ralstcn fellow is _some prospector loping the bush?” “Dat’s w'at he say he is; but me, 1 don’t b'lieve heem. He got no cal lous on hees han's, lak prospector got. He do t'ings lak ceety man—say ‘tank you,’ keep shave, and talkit lak book-learn’ feller.” Something queer about this Ral ston, Karakhan sensed intuitively A trained geologist would know that the formations of the Lilluars were not gold-bearing. Anybod,; who ven tured into Klosohee territory after all the warnings at Russian Lake. must have important business in there. Ralston might be a Mounted detective. Whoever Ralston was. he had to be stopped. If an enemy, the sooner the better. If only a prospector— well, the country had plenty of such | ! bush-lopers, and one* would not be | missed. “Where's the southern band of | Klosohees, LeNoir?” “At de Lilluar forks. Doy spen | summer dere, camp at fish weirs.” “Do they know about this party coming up river?” LeNoir shook his head. Karakhan flipped his cigarette through the window, a decisive ges ture. “Well, see to it that they find out! Tell ‘em that this Ialston is a land scout for the white men, com ing in here to look things over..Tell ‘em that other white men wil' follow after him acd shoot the Klosohees down and take away these moun- tains. Understand?” LeNoit grinted. He ¢ould imagine how the Klosohees woid react to that! “You get bYack down the Lilluar,” Karakhan added, “and keep tab on that man yourseM. Give him a warn- ing at the pass. If he turns back, let him alone; we don’t want to stir up trouble if it isn’t necessary. But if he disregards the warning and comes on, simply kill him, and make the job look like a rapids accident.” LeNoir nodded, his black eyes glittering in the candlelight. IFTEEN miles below the pass, Curt's party went ashore on a headland one noon for tle midday rest. Casually walking iway from the others, Curt started r p the land- wash on a little eéxpedition of his own, For geveral days » suspicion | had béen growing on. him about | Sonya and Ralph, and h- meant to | settle the matter before going a pad- | dle-stroke farther. He glanced back once at camp. The two guides were lazily building a fire, Badly fagged out, Ralph had flung himselt down on a bit of moss to rest. At the upturned canoes Paul was calking leaks with gam pot and canvas_while Sonya cut strips and handed him things. As he walked along the landwash, Curt looked on up river at the Lilluar pass; in plain sight now. 4 grim re- minder of danger just uhead, it brought him somber thoughts of ram-horn bows, his hunt for Kara- khan, his heavy responsibilty for Ralph and Sonya. He had counted positively on those two turning back at the pass, but now he doubted whether they would. They seemed determined to go on, especially Sonya. Out of sight of eamp ke cut a pine branch and sat down on a rock. Six- spots, robber flies, mud-daubers and yellow-jackets kept lighting all around him, but the heétle hée wanted was rare. He waited tweuty min- utés before one finally came. At the first motion of his pine beatle went flitting away. , sprang,up and took after it., w(lt snd agile, it led him a hot | back and forth across the nnd but its brilliant color proved doing, for he kept it in sight and at last got in a fucky swipe that nunnqd it As he picked his captive up and rolled it over on his palm, a twig snapped hebind him. He turned. Under the pine wi had cut the branch, Sonya stood 166king on, her eyes dancing with laughter. Curt, realized she had been nth '8 thu chase and had been a 6d by it. “I guess I did look ridicalods,” thought, “chasing aroun ~ with half a pine tree to knock down a little bug. But anyway, I'm going to find out something now, He mopped his forehead stepped over to her with the beetle. “D’you know this beetle, Sonya?” (Copyright. 1933. William B.

All the floats were broken up yand carried away and various small craft sunk or piled up on the shore. | Fires Break Out Further increasing the general | terror of the situation, three fires| | alarms were turned in for chim-} ney fires at the residences of L.| |W. Kilburn, Robert Bonner and| Mike Pusich, all occuring about | the same time bstween 5 and € o'clock in the evening. No dam- age occurred other than that of | | scare in each case. While the list of property loss is rather incomplete, prinmpal‘ damage reported, in addition to| |that on the waterfront, included | {roof and other parts of the barn ‘:md buildings belonging to the Dauglas Dairy being carried away | vdt,h a loss of something like i‘250. ———e——— MEETING IS POSTPONED TONIGHT P.-T.

Quezon’s refusal to approve a referendum’ contained a single question of acceptance or rejection resulted in scrapping the plan for 4 phebiscite, after all other de- tails were arran The insular house in September adopted a three-question plebiscite bill sponsored by Quezon, but the measure boggéd down in the Sen- ate. i Then Senator Sergio Osmena, outstanding champion of * accept- ance, with an®eye to the June elections, unexpectedly présented a motion af an all-night session, to accept the act, it was voted down, 15 to 4. ' Next, Quezon prevailed on both branches to ratify the Senate’s adverse action. May Reverse Vote This, he said, did not mean absolute rejection, as the law pro- vides only that it must be accept- ed within a year. So the way ap- parently was left clear for the Leg- islature to reverse itself, if de- sired. _ Out of the confusion reigninz in Filipino politics for weeks the only clear conclusion was that Quezon was complete master of the situa- tion. —ll VALDEZ LIBRARY BOARD | At a recent miéeting of the Val- dez Library Assoclation the follow- ing board of directors was elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. George W.
