And why should a private plane, which wasn’t sched ule-bound, venture up on a day when the commercial companies canceled their flights and 20 planes could get in? fll tell you why—Jim Gup- nar had important business on hand that day! “And one other ques*fon: Where did this youngster, who was just an ordinary _barnstormer—where did ‘he suddenly zet the eighteen thou _ lollars for a new plane?” dwin and Holden exchanged glances of dismay. They had worked nine months on that case and here came along a person who hao struck @ hot scent almost at once. How- ever much they wanted to see Kara- khan arrested, Tennyson-was.sbow- ing them up too badly. “Don't jump to conclusions,” Bald- | win afgued. “Gunnar might just have been fiying a ‘plare-load of 'y to on Indian camp or smug- giing something across the border. & lot of foreigners are taken into the States by air from here.” “Maybe so. I'm merely saying that. the trip looks suspicions to me. Holden, did that recor give you any hint of where he di¢ go?” “Nothing whatever. The plane Just went away into the fog.” “You're sure there's no clue?” “Dead sure. You can see for your- self. 1 made a copy of the clearance récord.” Curt looked at the hastily scrib- bled sheet. Gas and oil were the first two items. Then followed a he commented, “ought to have put a person wise that Gunoar intended to stay in the air for several hours. You don't teke a lunch along on a forty-five uinute crow-hop.” His finger moved on down and stopped at a. entry which read NC-5, 50c. “What's this item, Holden?” “Some gadget for ‘he plane, I suppose.’ Ourt believed so, too, but the in- finite patience in him ‘ook nothing for granted. He reached the phone, the airport and asked the parts! what NC-5, 50c meant on a bill. ‘*That? Oh, that’s for a Geology Service map—them strip maps that you hang inside the cabin on sealers! aud roll up or down.as you fly along. ‘That NC-5 chart covers the section from Chilcotin north to the Grand Trunk. Is that all you wanted to know?” “Quite all,” said Curt. “Thanks.” Baldwin whirled angrily on Hol- den. “What a blighted timbertop, you. ‘Dead sure—nothing whatev- er’—when the record held a clue Uke that! And you even copied it!” Holden's face reddened. Curt in- terposed: “It's all right, Holden. } caught that because 1 know some thing about planes. Arn, sen a con- stable down to get one of those NC-5 ebarts, won't you?” N. the chart came, he spread it on.@ table for a careful study. The map covered a strip 75. miles wide by 400 long, endizg at the Grand Trunk Railroad tn northern British Columbia. Red dots showed where pilots could secure yas, and stars where some sort of mechan- teal service could be expected. Tm that thinly settled country there were only two stars and four teen dots. Before leaving, that afternoon, he wrote night letters and sent them to all the places that he couly reach by wire. When he walked into Mounted headquarters the next morning, a pile of yellow envelopes lay on Baldwin's desk. Baldwin picked up one lying by itself and handed it slumly to him. “You're an uncanny devil, Tenny- son,” he growled. ‘If t had your luck I'd be Premier.” The telegram came from one of the starred places, a little town called Tellacet, at the junction of the Grand Trunk and the Lilluar River. A thrill ran through Curt as he read the electric words: .

At the Edmonton hotel Marlin was surprised to have Smash Des- plaines breeze in on him one after- noon three days later. “Hello, Smash! Where’s Curt?” “Over in northern B. C. At a little Jerk-water called Tellacet. He sent you this letter.” Marlin slit the envelope hastily. Good news this soon? Impossible! — even for Tennyson. The message was in the numeral code of the Silent Squad. He sat down at the table and began deci- phering it. The laconic sentences staggered him as he worked them mt Dear A-K: Baldwin and 1 picked up Kara- than's trail at Vancouver. A flyer called Gunnar brought him north to this place. Karakhan then sent Gunnar out by train and went on aorth by himself in the plane. 1 sup] he was too cautious to let anybody know his exact destina- sion. 1 have reason to belleve that he’s aiding somewhere in the Lilluar Mountains.

THOUSAND yards off the north shore of Russian Lake, Curt and Paul stopped paddling . few minutes and gazed ahead at the trading post, looking the place over before they landed. The post lay at the mouth of the Liluar River; a big mountain stream which had its origin 300 miles north, near the Yukon head- | waters. As far offshore ar they were, {ts tumultuous current tugged strongly against the sider of their canoe, Small and unimportant, the trading station consisted of a gaunt frame mission, a whitewashed Mounted Police cabin and a red- 's Eay store—repre- three ancie ; institu- tions of religion, law, commerce. Five trapper and prospector tents were strung out down the land- wash; several shacks stood back at the wood's edge, and the leather tepees of a dozen Indian families reached up along the river bank be yond the mission. Curt turned his eyes from the trading post to the blue-hazy dis- tance up the Lilluar valley. “Lord, what a country, Paul!” he mused. The wild spirit of :t awed him. Range after mighty ragye marched forth out of sight, all of them top- ped with glaciers and .uge snow- fields, their slopes cut by moraines and avalanche paths and mile-deep canyons. It was a primordial coun- try, as lonely and appalling as any- thing he had seen in the sub-Arctic. The sun bad already slanted down behind the northwest canges. In the evening hush the lake was as still as a mirror, but faraway west a mass of black thunderheads prom- ised a rainstorm before mary hours. A small group of people, rathered in front of the Bay store, were look- Ing at the canoe and poin.ug; and several men had strolled out upon the little pier to meet it. The post was so wilderness-buried that two strangers in @ boat caused a big stir. Paul gaye the canoe a stroke to keop ft headed straight. “I wonder whether Mam’selle Luck or Dame Malheur ts’ waiting for us yonder, partner?” He spoke in French, as he always did with Curt. “That's what I'm wonderine, Paul. of an {dea where Karakhan ts hid. ing. He may be close to this place or two weeks’ foot-slogging back in that God-forsaken Strong-Woods. See those people there? Well, any of them may be a spy of his. He's almost got to have a con‘ac: man. We'll have to watch every step we take.” Paul nodded, scrutinizing the post with his sharp eyes. A slender young métis of twenty-three, he belonged to the old and fine clan of Athabascan St, Claires, descendants | 2 of the proud “Timber Cree” and the | old French explorer—fighter, lover | and farwanderer. Born to the Strong-Woods, he was as busb-wise | as a pine marten or a tuber wolf. Between him and Curt a deep silent partnership bad grown 39 during their year of foot-loose wandering.
