Curt agrees to help him, => Chapter Five ON THe WING RT swore to himself that when he got through with the Karak han busines@ he was through and done and would not allow himself to. be entangled any deeper. “Pm. not, ‘still a Mounted,” he denied. “I’m taking this on to pay back a little fraction of what I owe you, A-K, dnd because—well, I guess Tm part wolf-hound and can’t resist ® good chase. If I rum that fellow Gown it’ bé worth half a dozen Consolidated jobs.” “There won't be any ‘if, Curt. You'll take him.” Hé tried t6 say it confidéntly, to hide his own doubts, At the best Curt had only an outside chance. The difficulties of the hunt were ap- palling. Yonder in that city of a While Smash pumpéd the pon- toons dry, Curt stripped the canvas hood from the radial and inspected. Shoving away, they climbed into the cabin, cranked the inertia starter and stood out into the lake. At the controls, Curt skimmed north two miles’ to warm the motor, veered around into the light wind, and gave the plane the gun. Dancing down lake, he reached speed, rocked the air, He ¢ircléd once for altitude, passed over Edmonton,‘a mile above’ tle still-sleeping elty; and headed west, | toward the snowy Selkirks and the Pacific Coast. As he flew along, his eyes were on the horizon over the plane’s nose, but his thoughts went on beyond | that horizon to the weeks and months ahead. He wondered where | the Karakhan hunt would take him and What the veiled futuré héld for him. | sept Calgary and the Blackfoot Selkirks, they dropped down’ on Okanagan for gas and oil. Smash took the stick then, and they flew on, through the heart of the Rockies. The trip was altogether different from monotonous flying across plains country. He circled once for altitude. hundred and thirty thousand a cer- ‘in man hed disappeared last fall. / Hea sheet out init’ thé Howing streams of humanity and those streams had closed over him, obift- erating every trace, Shrewd deteétives, men like In- Spector Baldwin; had misérably fated to track him, The seen. was cold, nine months cold. As immiedi- ate havens for Karakhan, down the ‘west coast lay a score of cities rang- {ng up to a million; and across the Pacific yawned all the teeming ports of the Orient, ‘And yet he was asking Curt to pick up that man’s trail and run him to earth! It was like trying to find a cloud one had seen last Week, Be- sides all thosg tremendous handi- caps, Karakhan had always been a shade better than any man ever sent after him. He had the power of money, the advantage of a cold trail, and the whole world for his hiding place. But at least {t would be a magnif- feent hunt.

After registering at the airport, Curt sent Smash to the Marlin home where A-K had invited them to stay while in the'city. He himself went directly to the Mounted headquar- tere, Of his former associates on the Silent Squad the only two still there were Arnold Baldwin, now an inspec tor, and Duty-Sergeant Holden. “So the Old Man clapped you on this case, eh?” Baldwin remarkéd, in his precise Oxford. He resented it that‘an outsider had been brought in, and teok no pains to hidé what he elt. “Well, you're damned wel- come, Tennyson! I'm glad to give over and Jet someone else do the failing.” Curt paid no attention to the re- sentment. There was work to be done, not personalities to be in- dulged. At a desk in Baldwin's office he went over the whole Karaklian case with the inspector and Holden, Fail- ing to trail Karakhan, they had planted inquiries in his old haunts abroad; but. the Cossack: had nat gone back. They had tried to trace his swindle money to banks or de- positoriés, but he had tgrned it all ities, as They had sent tracers to the var- tous societies of Russian emigres, shadowed his Vancouver acquaint- ances and watched their mail, and had made all the customary contacts with police agenciesin the States, | the empire and Europe. Smash checked out at the hotel ate breakfast, and taxied through the gray wet dawn to Cooking Lake. At a private pier Curt's trim am- phibia. was rocking on the wavelets. A three-place cabined plane, the sturdy ship had carried him and Paul and Smash al! over the Kee Wwatin barrens, up and down the wa- terlogged Mackenzie country, and westward into the unknown Arctic Rockies. Across long “dry hops” where a konking motor would have meant & fatal crack-up, it had taken them ‘unfalteringly, so that they had come to look on it as one of them, a silent partner.

When the conference ended, Bald- | win tilted back in his chair and looked challengingly through his cigarette smoke at Curt. “Well Tennyson,” “can you improve on our work?”: “I don’t see how; yeu've done a | real job, Arn,” Curt said, rather ab- sently. He was studying a picture on the desk, the picture of a black- haired girl of twenty-two. “This | Mathieson girl"—he indicated the photo with his cigarette holder— “was she very well acquainted with | Karakhan?” (Copyright, 1933, William B.
