The moment So 4ended to start back south and send Ralph along with them. By and beling up during the day the three would get out to Russian Lake easily enough. That would free him self and Paul. Taking nothing but rifles and light canoe, they slip away from the island and be miles gone wher LoNoir and his out- fit came calling Up the Lilluar they would watch for Sonya to pas: then fall in behind her party and le! her lead them to Karakhan. Through the open flap-front of Sonya’s tent he could see her mov-| ing about in the dim interior, mak- | fug ready, he believed, to leave| them that night. He tried not ya went he in traveling at night would to wateh ber, but his eyes kept stray-| ing back.. He could steel himself| egainst her, e could scorn her, but| Indifference lay beyond his power She had meant too much to him. In the tent Sonya was puit gether a few personal articles for her trip, fully expecting LeNoir to come and take her away that mid night. Her unshakable purpose kep ker steady, and after that long red trail from Vetemsk to UJ the dan gers of this {rip were not formidable enough to stop her; but the dark-| ness settling down, the daunting| journey ahead and the terrible up- | certainty at the end of it filled her with dread. 1 | LANCING through the flap, she saw Curt lay aside his rifle and start filling cartridge clips, evident- v getting ready for whatever might come. The safety of the party after she left worried hef only a little; she bad an implicit faith that Curt and Paul could take care of them- * selves agaiast a dozen like LeNoir and the sub-chief. They would get back to safety and get Palph back. She longed to step outside and talk with Curt, a few last words: but she was afraid to, afraid be would cut her cold as be had been doing for the last four days. She was utterly bewildered by his atti- tude, his icy exaggerated politeness, his sudden and complete change to- ward her. Something had happened, | that night of his return. She could not tathom the cause of his ehange. It couldn't be that he kmew anything about her rendez vous with LeNoir; she herse!f had seen him leaning against the rocks asleep, and Paul had been in his tent both before and after she went. And it couldn’t be that Ralph had told him about her trip. Raipb pro- tested earnestly that Lie had never | dropped a hint nor bad Curt gues- tioned him. ¥ Whatever the reason, she felt that she had lost her best friend on earth, the one person whom she might have depended on to help her. When her light pack was made up, she buckled it, laid it aside and stepped over to the tent door. Curt was almost done with the clips. In a minute or two he'd go vp and join Paul, and she wouldn't get to see him again alone. For a few moments she wavered, torn between her pride and the promptings of her heart. It might be that she had said or done some- thing which bad offended him and whieh she could smooth out. When she thought of his pleading “Can’t | you do care—a little bit, sweet- rt,” it seemed fmpossible that he cotild eare nothing at all now. May- ¢ had Heeu too Spartan with berself and with him on those two evenings. .

She must be trying to play some game with him. It was awkward to ignore so plain an overture, but he kept silent. Sonya waited, waited for him to make at least some comment, but , when she saw he would not she flung away her last rag of pride: 14 didn‘t really mean what I said about | your sense of decency tiat night. !
