That was why she Phare out at him when he mild- ly praised the Leninists. Her man- ners indicated that she had come fi a well-to-do family, possibly from the aristocracy. But what about her brother? Ralph didn’t appear Russian, or an alien at all. His name was English and he seemed to be an ordinary Canadian citizen. Of course he could have changed his name, and it was possible that he had lived In the Dominion longer than Sonya; even so they were vastly differ- ent people to be brother and sister. “% er there was something | about the relationship of those two, something that he could not quite fathom. | Old Jobn took the trout from the balsam:slab, divided it; and an In- dian. girl) handea, the portions, around:on strips of birchbark, with, an-oglichan: and piece of bacon to portion,» As Curt passed out ussian Lake much longer, Mr. Higginbotham here has | two guides for us and we're tomorrow morning.” and left; the young trapper stuck a wolf cub in each jacket pocket and trotted for his tent. Curt wanted to ask Sonya if he { might walk up to Higginbotham’s residence with her, where she and Ralph were staying; but he was afraid of getting snubbed. While be wavered, Sonya sald good-night to Mrs. Hodkins and turned to him. “I've been wanting to apologize to you, Mr. Ralston,” She was really sincere about it—so contrite, in fact, that she would not look him in the eyes but stared at a button on his jacket, “Why, it was as much my fault as yours,” he insisted, as they start- éd up toward the factor’s house, “I threw out a big wild statement and you caught me up on it. But honest- ly”—he was thinking of her javelin- sharp words—“I’d hate to ever get into a real quarrel with you.” “Am | that baa?” “Oh, you're positively formidable! To change the subject, there’s some thing I'd like to say, if you won't bite my head off.” “1 promise. What {s it?” “Well, if you don’t mind an un- Solicited opinion, I believe you and your brother ought to think twice before you start north into Klo- sohee ‘territory. 1 don’t know any- think about the Klosohees myself, but i°do’know that some of these | northern Dinnehs can’t be judged by the'bands closer in to civilization.” ‘ “But we've thought twice already, Mr. Ralston, and we've decided it’s worth the risk.” She said it sp conclusively that Curt dropped the subject. Ifhe was to stop them, he would have to think up some way more effective than argument. At the door of the residence they chatted a few moments about the party, and then Sonya bade him good night. Curt turned away re- luctantly, looking back once for a | glimpse of her as she stood outlined trapper cut in bluntly; if you try to go into the tame treaty ean, I'd ruther fight a grizzly - with a pine branch than argy y them, boys.

He would be a poor de tective if he could not trace Ralph and her, The rain came on {in earnest short- ly after he reached camp. A high wind lashed the pines, woke up the jake and tugged at their tent: rain fell in gusty sheets; flash after blinding flash of lightning banged into the timber and rolled bellowing across the lake.

By linking up Jamiesoo’s account of the wild Liar tribe with Sonya’s sketch of their history, he could see the whole story of the Klosohees pretty clearly. Their hos- tility toward white people undoubt- Russians. In so fsolated a tribe, traditions would hang on for genera- tions. Now Sonya and Ralph were going Into that pot of trouble, with no pro tection except a pair of guides who ‘would desert at the first real danger. For a city girl and man to venture {ato territory where experienced Dush-lopers stayed strictly out was. Sheer euicide, and not a very pleasant kind of suicide at that, At eleven-thirty the first spatter broke up the party, The In- fnto the darkness; the ambled home; the missioner wrapped his black robe about him _ THANKSGIVING they could begin their work. Not long after the storm began, Curt felt a trickle of water on his hat brim. He reached for his torch and looked up. About two feet down from the ridgeline a neat hole the size of a pencil had appeared in the canyas. On the opposite wall and at the same height was another hole. “Look Paul— how'd those get there? No stick would blow clear through both" A livid white flash lit up the tent as plain as day. An {nstant later— kip-plang!—their nested set of alu- minum dishes, lying on a box near the flap-front, suddenly exploded in @ dozen directions, as though pos- sessed of some diabolic magic. In the rolling thunder Curt heard the half-muffied bark of a rifle. He sprang to his feet. “Hell! Somebody’s shooting at our tent! It's that “breed!” They ‘grabbed sifckers.and auto- “aties, and leaped outside. Throw- ing themselves down bebind the fire wood, they waited for the next spurt of rifie fire to‘etab the darkness. “Watch back in the timber, Paul. | I'l watch down toward the fort. He's in. one of those directions. He's not out on the lake or around the post anywhere.” A minute lengthened to three, five. Curt had never known it to rain so hard as just then, or to lighten so tremendously. One moment they were blinded by a dazzling glare; in the next the dark dropped like a pall. They lay there for ten minutes, praying for just one glimpse of a rifle fash. But the sniper did not shoot again. “We might as well go back in,” | Curt suggested finally. “I ought to’ve taken your advice and left him over on the island. We saved him from a soaking and then got it ourselves.” “Sometime we're going to have a showdown with that slinker. He's going to kill us or we're going to xill him.” Tt was exactly Curt’s own thought. (Copyright, 1933. William B.

DOUBLE OF ‘PRETTY BOY’ NOT PLEASED (Ry Associated Press) MIAMI, Okla., Nov. 28.—As long as his work keeps him in the southwest W. A. Brewer, Miami salesman, decided he might as well have it understood that he. is not “Pretty Boy” Floyd. He appealed to Sheriff Dee Watters to calm the populace and issue an official memorandum on the physical resemblance between the law-abiding citizen and the desperate outlaw. Several times in recent week Brewer has been mistaken for Floyd. Persons he met “stared apprehensively” at him, he said, and peace officers on one occasion were moved to investigate his ac- tions.
