“PAGE FOUR FORBIDDEN VALLEY by William Byron Mowe,” Chapter 1 ROSALIE AGAIN HE hotel man- agerglancedup, stared for a mo- ment) at the bronzed san beside the reg- istry desk, then suddetily recog- nized him. “Why, how d’you do Mr. Tennyson! I didn’t know you af\first, you've changed so. Glad to haveyou - with us again, sir.” His tone implied that a man who had been down in the far North hunt- ing wolves by plane over the snow’ wastes of the Great Barrens, was. Tucky to be back in Edmonton alive. “Mr. Desplaines is with you, I suppose. Would you like something nice, a three-room suite?” for himself and Smash Desplaines. “By the way, Lacelle, will you ask the desk clerk to phone around to the other hotels and find out where A. K. Marlin staying? Superin- tendent Marlin of the Mounted face almost as dark as an Indian’s. ‘There was a quiet power about him which set him off from other adven- turers of the North who occasionally appeared in the capital for a day or two. They were usually breezy, ro- bust, likable; he was poker-faced and silent, with an air of cold aloof- ness that repelled people. PSTAIRS in his room, Curt glanced out the window into the hotel court where the golden June gun lay like a benediction over the flower beds and promenade; and he marveled at the contrast between his world of today and his world of yesterday. " Today an elite hotel, snowy linen, & gleaming bath, servitors at the push of a button; while yesterday at that same hour he and Smash and Paul St. Clair had been frying a whitefish for breakfast on the lone- ly muddy shore of Great Slave Lake! After his year of absence he had looked forward eagerly to visiting the city again, but now that he actually was back he felt disap- pointed. The city jarred on him. What savage beautiful land, with its mountains and blue lakes and footiloose freedom, had become his home, and it drew him back like the arms of a loved one, After his harsh years, abroad and his seven, un- I'm—I'm almost afraid, ef you. You're like a breath right out of the North!” “And you”—he held her off at arm’s length and surveyed her— “you're looking sweeter than ever, Rosalie. And still hitting off the old fast pace, I see.” He gestured at the disordered room which epoke of her return from some party late last night—her cape and dancing pumps flung one way, @ corsage of red rosebuds on the floor, her silk frock lying where she had stepped out of it. “Where’s A-K —still asleep?” “No. He got up early ana ‘went over to visit the detachment here in town. He'll be back any time. Let's sit down.” She put ash-try and matches between them on the divan. “I’m dying for a big long talk. Your letters were as stingy as cablegrams from Borneo, Tell me all about everything—your wolf-hunting, pros- pecting, this job the Consolidated offered you, how long you're going to be in Edmonton, and—just every- thing.” ‘URT grinned at her tumbling questions. It was good to be chatting with Rosalie again. She was like Smash Desplaines, carefree, Pleasant, a good companion for light- hearted hours. He had tong since Saperintendent Marlin came into the room. Toes He was to get in from Van- couver yesterday.” “He and Miss Rosalie are right here with us, Mr. Tennyson, That feminds me”—Lacelle turned and reached a letter from the mail rack “the superintendent asked me to wand you this when you registered. If you're having conferences with him, 1’ give you a room near his suite.” * Curt ripped the envelope and read Marlin’e letter, It was brief, -puzzling. 1 wirelessed you at Fort Reso- jon, Rosalie and I'll Ea- ton for several a: to See You as soon as you co Great Slave. 1 heat that the eats a aces Gemnitaly ull you get in touch with ine; T've got a proposition of the ut- most importance to talk over with you.—A-! Curt frowned uneasily as ho read jthe note again, Just what was this “proposition”? Hardly a bid for him ito. rejoin the Mounted Police; A-K surely knew he would never go back {nto the Force, “Utmost importance” when A-K said that, it meant something extraordinary. With a slight limp, his relic of a ‘war-time crack-up, he crossed the lobby to the elevator where a bell- ‘hop. was waiting with his key and duffie bag. A number of people, loitering over ‘their morning newspapers, looked up, saw him, followed him with in- derested curious glances. His rough flying clothes and the goggled hel- met in his hand told them he was @p aviator, Thirty-two or -three, he ‘was only medium tall but as hard- ened asa range Wolf, with lean jaw, thin. ascetic lps..and hawk-sharp gray eyes. Exposure to summer sun and win- ter wooly. agai weathered bis EXPERIENCE OF C. MARVIN THOMPSON) pleasant yeare in the Mounted, he had come into sunlit happiness down north, Though he had been in Edmonton only an hour, he already wished he were in his plane again and heading down the Athabasca, Slave and broad Mackenzie to the musk-ox prairies and white-wolf mountains of the eub-Arctic. Curious to know what A-K wanted of him so urgently, he bathed and shaved, changed to his “civilized” clothes, and stepped down the cor- ridor to the Marlin suite. At his knock he heard a quick tripping footstep; the door opened an inch or two; he had a glimpse of Rosalie Marlin, her eyes still heavy with sleep, the candelabra behind her shimmering in her lovely~au- burn hair. He had caught her in amusing negligee — one cheek rouged, a powder puff in her hand, a dressing robe flung hastily about her shoulders, The pretty frown on her face vanished instantly when she saw who had knocked. “Curt!” she cried, opening the door wide. “You? Five minutes ago I was dreaming about you, and here you are!” She flung her arms about him and stcod tip- toe for his hug and kiss. “When did you get in? Why didn’t you wire- less us you were coming? Why didn’t you give me a ring just now, 80 you wouldn't catch me like this?” “Was mean of me,” Curt admit- ted, patting her disheveled hair. “Smash and I just got in. Our plane is out at Cooking Lake. We left Athabasca at two this morning—" Rosalie whistled. “Six hundred miles, before other people are up! In the old days that same trip used totake Dad from Christmas till February!” She drew him in, shut} the door with a deft touch of her toe “Curt. you're looking 6o keen! eight years as justice of the peace in Monroe county, and during that Htime, as he points out, he not only | | performed the duties of his office | faithfully but that he also read realized that he did not-love her very wildly, but he had gone thirty- two years without meeting a girl he liked better than Rosalie Marlin, and he was a bit cynical about find- ing any “ideal” person. Rosalie was undeniably pretty, she had the charm of youth and slowing health, she was intensely alive; and the bond between her father and himself was already as strong as & blood relationship. Be- sides all that, she fitted exquisitely into the new and pleasant way of life which had been hie during the past year. “The wolf hunting,” he answered her questions categorically, “was great; we bagged more than three hundred, and got nine thousand dol- lars bounty on ‘em, but with gas at five to fifteen dollara”a gallo down in that country, we just. about broke even. The prospecting last summer and this spring was like most proé- pecting—a lot of hopes but not math luck. “This Consolidated offer, it’s pretty nice. The Consolidated is prospecting that country by air, and their field manager just got killed in @ crack-up, so they offered me the place. I'd have ten machines and about sixty men in my charge.” “But does it pay anything?” Curt thought her question rather pointed. “Well, yes — seventy-five hundred a year.” Before he could ask her what thie “proposition” of her father’s was, the door opened and Superiatendent Marlin, a ruddy-faced man of sixty with iron-gray hair and tired, stooped shoulders, came imto the room.

ANNOUNCEMENT BY CLEVELAND NILES To the Voters of Key West and My Many Friends: I am again calling to your at- tention my candidacy for Chief of Police and my intention to so conducting the office of chief, if I am elected tomorrow, as to meet with the approval of all citizens Especially will I make every ef- fort to suppress all violations of the traffic laws as these violations are among the most important that come within the jurisdiction of the police department. I feel that I am_ eminently fitted to fill the office of chief because of the rcord I establish- ed during the years I was a law enforcement officer. For years I was an officer on the police force, sergeant and chief. I was for a period a deputy sheriff and for six years was sheriff of Monroe county. During that time I devoted a great deal of my time to the study of crime and criminals from every angle, and handled many of them, of both sexes. With these years of experience and study to guide me and fortify me in the performance of the du- ties of chief, I ask the considera- tion of the voters and promise that I will earnestly and faithfully carry out the provisions of the law in all cases. Respectfully, CLEVELAND NILES. PM FALLING IN LOVE I’m afraid I’m falling, Falling in love with you. » Cause my heart for love is calling, So darling it must be true.

And as my poem comes to an end, My heart for love is still calling. again, : Why I think I am falling. BUSTER NORMAN.
