PAGE FOUR - — Chapter 46 THE PLAN °, Eaxateras steppec away and cool- ly walked across the logs. That was more than Curt cared to try. He got down and crept along the bridge on hands and ktees, with Paul bebind him. Midway he stopped, loosened a piece of bark and Jistened for the sound. Several seconds later he heard the bark hit against a rock and splash into the stream. The chasm, about seventy feet deep, was not so abysmal as he had fought; but for the mar who fell into it those seventy feet would be plenty, with rocks to crash on and that underground creek to sweep one away. Joining Tenn-Og on the other side, he lit another match and looked Around. He found bimself in a large irregularly shaped cave, warm and dry and fully fifty feet across. Sb tts like the entrance led off in a dozen directions, some straight back into the mountain rock, others parallel- fhg the face of the cliff. By the Match flare he also noticed signs of human occupancy. An the flickering <ight he glanced St Tenn-Og, who was staring at the snowshoes and fireplace: and on the stay there till he got ready to let them out! Under ordinary circumstancés a bush-wise outfit. like them would hesitate about venturing into so plain a deadfall, but in the heat of a fight they probably would mot stop to weigh danger. The idea intrigued him, largely be- cause {t would avoid heavy: blood- shed. He hated to think of shooting into those men and killing as he would have to kill to stop a deter- mined rush. They were an admir- able little clan. Besides, this fight was not their fight but Karakhan’s, and the Russian would not be in that charge. He would be hiding behind others, letting others be victimized in protecting him. As much as he wanted to try the trap, he finally decided against it. ACK outside, he explained to Tenn-Og that the cave was no good, and asked him to show them a better place. The Indian took them down slope fifty yards, worked over to the left and brought them to a little knoll. ‘The spot looked ideal to Curt at his first glance. A tangle of rocks and windfall logs gave them fine cover; the slope fell away so steeply in front that an attack from that, direction was “Don't shoot,” sald Curt. fhdian’s face, usually so masklike, ‘De saw a storm of emotions.

If something did go wrong, could back up across this chasm, kick these logs down, and be ‘safe against an army!" But Curt was not satisfied. For defense the place was perfect, as Pan! said, But defense was not enough. If they were to tear Sonya away and nail Karacnan, they would ou to push the fight, and the cave was too far distant from the camp for sure rifle work, and a drogue of spruces just down slop almost com- pletely hid the cabin. ‘With the ghost of an idea In mind he stopped back again to the bridge, took bold of the ends of the logs, lifted them up, and assured himself that the two timbers could easily be thrown into the chasm. It be could somehow get the Klosohees across Into the cave proper and then push down the bridge, they would Tenn-Og dropped the leader with @ silent arrow, killing the dog'in its tracks, His next arrow struck a husky in the flank. It yelped, whirled and bit at the dart.

Still LeNoir did not show himeelf, and Siam-Klale was more than three hundred yards from the landing. “Don't!™ Curt whispered, as Paul ab-chiet. “He's ot to get that LeNoir. We're sure to be discovered now, but before tt happens we may put those two out.” (Copyright, W: B. Mowery) ‘The battle breaks, tomorrow, in earnest. P& STEAMSHIP Co.
