Except for her, they would already have closed in on the man. Not only had they wasted precious days, but their best hope had gone glimmering, the hope of shadowing LeNoir, for without a doubt he suspected them now and would never let them follow him to his chief. Occasionally he glanced, down toward the Iskitimwah mouth, but saw nothing of his partner. A little before noon he could stand it no longer. Dropping down lake, be landed and walked back into the pines. Curt was sitting against a boulder, tracing meaningless patterns on the| wolf-foot with a stick. He was plunged into deep thought, motion- less, a dead pipe in his teeth. His face was gray and haggard, his eyes had a hard light in them; and: when he looked up and smiled, it was a bitterly cynical smile. But in spite of those ravages and of the many times when Pau) had seen the steely self-control that Jay deep-down in Curt, he was surprised that his partner could have taken 60 terrible a blow and then, within the space of a few hours, could have shaken it off and got himself tn hand. He no longer seemed confused and bewildered, as last night at the sentry rocks. Curt pointed with the stick. “See that pair of black lilies there, nod- ding their heads together? The smaller one is Sonya Volkov, and the other fs her Cossack. I'm going to pull Karakhan's head off in a min- ute. I'll do it as an agent of the law, and not out of any jealousy over her. Lord, no!—I couldn’t be jealous of anything that he owns, [ll take the blossom over and give It to her, and then, after we nail him, I'll tell ber what I meant by it.” “‘Nail him’? You're still going abead Wwith this hunt?” “Why not?

I've been thinking of the Nahanni Mountains. Pros: pecting In the Nahannis will be a good way for a fellow to forget.” He got up, put on his jacket, and plucked the taller of the two bieck ites. Over the other one he hest- tated a moment. A shudder went through him as he took hold of tt But then with @ savage gesture he Jerked it ap by the roots and flung it away, and brushed his hands. “How're you going to find him?” ‘Paul queried. “LeNoir is suspicious, of us. He won't ever let us shadow him now.” ‘ “We won't try to shadow LeNoir. We've got an easier way of nding Karakhan. Sonya Volkov has been hard luck for us-so far, but we're go- §ng to turn her into good tack. We'll ‘use her. {t's only fair; she ased us.” traveling, LeNoir stood in Ka- vakhan’s cabin once again. “Dis ts ” he said, and with no other ex- letter. “Mine?” Karakban echoed, struck ‘all in a heap. “It's for me, you say?” His face turned ashy. “Who knows T'm here?
