But 1 can't go back. I'd 4 probably be imprisoned the minute * 11 landed. And besides I've been in § Canada twelve years and feel Cana- £ diun, and a person can do something here too. 2 “When I say ‘useful,’ Curt, I don't ¥ mean professional uplifters and fussy reformers who go around pry- '# in, into other people’s wz ' of living and trying to make everybody con- form to their own standards. Heav- ens no! But there are roles where men can do a real good. Men with a conscience, | mean—and you've . 8ot a consgience.” Curt wished he could tell her of that evening in Edmonton when he ; had thrown away the Consolidated offer and taker on the Karakhan bhunt. She would applaud that, where Rosalie had callec him a fool and had utterly failed to understand his motive. He recalled Sonya’s words, “idling around pleasantly,” and he knew that that"was how she would regard his plans .o return north, if she knew about them. Near five o'clock they came to a little bay, went ashore, gathered firewood and cleared a place for the two tents. It was the -rettiest camp 18ite of their trip. | They sat down under a pine to |wait for the other canoces. Curt plucked nervously at the leaf of a maidenhair fern. He could stave off his talk with Sonya no longer. “There’s something I'd like to un- derstand, Sonya. IU's rone of my business, except that I've got a | friend’s interest in you and Ralph—" “{ Sonya interrupted: "I know what |you're going to say—that we're not entomologists. Raiph told me you asked him about that beetle. 1 knew you weve suspicicus and would find us out sometime.” She pointed at the pass. “An& now yca want to know why we're going :nto that country. You're thinkicg there’s just somte whim or rattlebrained idea behinu our trip, aren't you?” “On the contrary, I told Pau! that you must have some p.etty substan- tlal motive.” “I'm glad you have that much con- fidence in us, after finding out how wa lied.” She picked a lichen curl “and unrolled it in her small brown fitigers. “It is a substantial reason, Ciirt.” “I don't quektiop that. But 1 do question your secrecy about the Whole thing when the triy is so dan- gerous. If 1 knew what you're try- to do, I might be able to give you & hand.” _Sonya shook her head. “I don’t Lelieve you would. In fact, I know . ¥ou wouldn’t.” “Are you afraid I'd go barging sfito your plaus Iike a bull in a china ghbp? I wouldn’t.” She still shook her head in re: al. “I'd Hke to tell you. But 1 ply can’t. It's in the very nature . ot my motive that I must keep it to myselt.” T ' “I can’t conceive of any such cir- cumstance.” “Then you'll have to takeé my word for it, Curt.” howcver small. 7 Hl telt provoked at her. It was A1 possible that she or Ralph lind heard some wild tale about s rich l'gfor plécer in the Lillaars or that e wanted to make &*study of the Klosohees themselves. but hecould I not believe either of these guesses. “There's something clse—still less of my business, I suppose; but Son- ¥a, why do you this retatios- ahjp to Ralph?” 3 | | That caught her a surprise. A ‘¢olor fiéw into her cheeks. Pretend—relationship—what do §6u mean?" __Curt was certair of his ground. He pluriged boldly: . i | . “Raiph is no more your_brother |than 1 am, girl. He's no relation to S {y6u atall.” E y—why, how can you make o itke that?" g | ble. NAW == NA) VALLEY Moweny He lied: “Paul ovecrheard you once. He didn't mean to lizten, but he couldn’t help it.” “How much else did Paul hear? Her tones were quick, frightened “When was this?" “Two evenings ago. hear anything else.” Sonya breathed easier. Curt real ized, too late, that he had made =z mistake. There was sometling else and she was afraid for him to know it. if he had pretended he kncw, he could probably have got ic out of her. She admitted reluctantly: “Yes, you're right; we're not related. I'll tell you why we made this-~this ar- rangement. If ['d been alone. | couldn’t have come in here at all. I wouldn’t even have got as far as | Russian Lake. Ralph’s a good friend. 1 knew 1 could trust Ralph implicit- ly. He's a gentleman through and through. Under the circumstances | our arrangement was entirely sensi- | It was the only recourse | had.” But all that told him nothing ahont her mission in that country. Curt swung the talk back: i “Sonya, I'm not playing cards with you, or trying to meddle in your busigess, or looking for any ad- vantage to myself. You may be jus- | tified in going on nortk. In that case I'll give you all the help in my pow er. But I've got to know what you're | doing.” He paused a moment, then | added point-blank, “And you've got to tell me.” | Sonya refused flatly. “I'm sorry. | Curt. I can'tdo it.” There was no use (o argue. He was irritated by her st.bborn si- lence and jealous that Ralph should share her confidence while he was barred out. “1 suppose you're zoing to wash | your hands of us now.” she said. “You intend to go on above the pass?” he demahded. And when” she nodded: “You're fumbling dy- | namite, if you only knew it.” “1 do know it. But there's a chance | that we can get on friendly terms | with the Klosohees.” “A mighty slim chance, rrcm what old John tells me. You can’t go on withont, Paul and me.” “We will.” She said it quietly, bu* Curt knew [ she meant it. Her prroosiveness | was almost grim. Short of tying | her up hand and foot and taking ber | back to Russian Lake he could not | stop ber. “It we can make friends with the Klosohees,” she said presently, | ‘there wouldn’t be any danger at all. That'’s the crux of the whole matter. You've had a good deal of experience with Indians, Curt; I believe you could manage it.” She leaned to- wards him, a plea crept into her voice. "I know I don’t deserve help. after refusing to take you inio my confidence; but won't you, anyway, Curt?” He aidn’t i | | | AS he saw the situation, hé was forced to take his choice of help- ing her or letting her go into that country without protection. By tifemselves she and Ralph simply did not stand a chance. That great blue cleft up river would prove a one-way portal into Klosohee terri tory. ‘ Perhaps he could work kimself into the good graces ot the Kloso- hees. If so, the whole danger would blow over, as she had sald. At any rate Paul and he would be guarding her. They could go cautiously, keep their eyes open and bring her back to safety if trouble started popping. He did not like the prospect. She would be exposed to Aanger, how- ever careful he and Faul might be, and he would be sadly handicapped on the Karakhan hunt. But the al- ternative was to let her go through that pass unprotected, defenseless: and that was something h» could not do. Sonya was watching him, hanging upon his.decision. Curt saw her fingers trembling as she waited. He thought §t fine of her that in those moments she made not tne slightest attempt to sway him by her charm oF Wer power: a girl. “I'll make a bargain with you, Sonya,” he said finally. “It's this: I'll take you in ther®s and do every- thing I can with those Klosohees, but it I see that a friendly contact isn’t possible you're to le. Paul and | me bring you back out, and you'll go on south to Russian Lake. Will you agree to that?” Sonya clasped his hand. “Curt, that’s awfully splendid of you!” “You promise, then? You'll turn back when I give the word. and you promise you'll go straight south to Russian Lake?” “Yes, 1 promise.” (Copyright. 1998 William B. Mowery) .

Each of these fully equipped stations carries a complete line of Union fuels and lubricants. TWO FAMOUS FUELS For your Diesel ctaft use UNION DIESOL. It is absolutely free from water, sulphur, or any harmful acid-forming compounds. Because of its higher calo- rific value, it delivers maximum power per pound, assuring lower fuel cost per hour.

UNION LUBRICANTS SAVE YOU MONEY There is no “'guess work™” whent you specify Union Lubricants, because Union laboratories have de- veloped a scientifically correct oil or grease for every lubrication purpose. You will get increased efficiency and your operating costs will be lower because of less frequent repairs. It is not unusual to reduce costs from 10 to 25% by switching to Union Lubricants. To prove this just ask any one using Union estlusively. UNION OIL COMPANY
