SYNOPSIS: Curt Ten ana aul St. Claire Chapter 13 THE THREAT LITTLE after dark, when Curt and Paul were sitting on a chop- ping block talking over their plans for that night, old. John Paxton came walking into the glow of their campfire, “Have a seat, John,” Curt in- vited, standing up and offering his own place on the block. He wanted a talk with Paxton, for the guileless old fellow was @ mine of information. He was famil- iar with everybod: at Russian Lake, knew ‘every river and range be tween there and the Yukon. The Klosohees kept all other whites out of the Lilluars, but kindly old John ran his fur path unmolested. His tent was pitched close to the canoe pier, and his eight sleek skies were chained along the landwash there, each staked sep- id you got come butt in? Dat not your woomans.” “Well no, but she wasn’t yours either, friend,” Curt pointed out. He added patiently: “Now let me show you something. Suppose my part- ner and I hadn't come over there, The girl would have reported you to the Yellowstripes. Soon or late : they’d have got you. This country isn’t big enough to hold you or any- body else that they really go after. If you look at this right, we saved you from—well, the penalty for what you tried is—hanging.” The ugly word made the man jerk. In the dark Curt could feel the man glaring at him with an animal. ish hatred. He kept an eye on the fellow and loosened the automatic in his pocket. From experience with that sort, he knew he had made a vicious enemy. “Damn fools w’at come nose into not-deir-beezness,” the Indian growled, “dey sometam mebbe git catched onder a pile of rocks back in de woods somew’ere.” Curt’s patience snapped. He stopped paddling, tapped on the gunwale. “See here, you, if you try any rifle talk with my partner or me, you'd better make your first shot good! Hug:your grudge if you want to, but if I catch you as much es _ Curt played a Volga folksong. ately, each with its cool burrow into the turf. Instead of let- his dogs starve through the as others did, he kept a net anchored near the islets caught fish for his team every “Don’t git up. for me,” he bade rt. “I jist stepped over to say goin’ to be a leetle potlatch p camp in twenty minits. an’ an’ Father Lespér an’ others'll be there, an’ I fig- you b'ys might eee Yin us, asshe read him the riot act, =< .- “Our marooned friend over on! “* {sland stands to get a soaking toe night,” Paul broke into his thoughts, | a8 @ distant mutter of thunder rolled out of the western mountains. “He deserves worse, that ape, You should have let me shoot him.” Curt straightened up. He had for gotten all about the man. “1 sup- pose you're right, Paul. But still, ~ he was so drunk he wasn’t alto gether responsible. I didn't think about this storm coming on. I ought to go and bring him back.” ILIPPING his flash and automatic inte his pocket, he stepped down to the landwash, launched the canoe ‘and headed across for the islands, He found the right channel with- ont. difficulty and nosed down through {ft to the island of dead pines. At his hail the ‘breed came out to the beach. Curt explained, told him to get in, and shoved off. On the way back he suggested, “What d’you say, friend?—let’s bury ‘what happened this evening.” The ‘breed seemed to have been waiting for him to say something, for he blazed out: “W'at beezness & O looking cross-eyed at that girl again, you'll be the one to get cached under a pile of rocks, and I don’t mean maybe.” They skirled on ashore. With a low sinister oath by way of good- bye the ‘breed stalked off into the dark. RT went up to the tent, where Paul was tuning his guitar. ‘Taking a can of cigarettes and a box of: chocolate squares as their con-~ tribution, they stepped out the path to old John’s “git-togither.” Thé company had already. gath- ered. Curt pulleda log close to the pack- ing box for himself and Paul, and sat down, trying to be as inconspic- uous as possible so that he could watch and listen, Somebody in that company might be Igor Karakhan’s contact man. A word, a glance, a stray little slip might give him a clue, He glanced now and then at Sonya, who sat near him, with the firelight shining in her clear eyes ‘and the glow of it tangled in her hair. She had looked up and nodded when he'and Paul camé, but she did not speak, and he bellévéd that-ehe had cast him, into the outer dark- ness. because of his good word for the Leninists. . With no factual reason for think- ing so, Curt told himself that Sonya Nichols had known stormy experi- ences in her life, experiences which had left their mark on her. They had given her maturity and strength of character, but they had robbed her pf any lightness of heart. ‘The question of her nationality still troubled him, and he deter mined to settle it once and for all. Reaching for Paul's guitar, he Plucked a chord or two, and then started a Volga folksong, the only Russian piece he knew. Heads be gan swaying, moccasins tapping. Watching Sonya, Curt saw that the old melody had caught her too, He met her eye, smiled at her, nodded; and she began singing softly. As Nstened to the strange words which fame so naturally from her lips, | ‘Curt’s last doubt went glimmering. Russian, she was! (Copyright, 1933, Wittiam B.
