S. Smith, Converse. SYNOPSIS: Curt Tennyson repulses the friendly advances of Sonya, whom he has befriended in the Canadian wilderness, because he knows that the girl la planning to desert his party and to join Igor Karakhan, the millionaire crook whom Curt la tracking down. Curt and his partner Paul know that as anon 01 Sonya leaves with LeNoir, Karakhant contact man, LeNoir will send the remorseless Klosohee Indians to destroy them. Chapter 35 DEPARTURE stood up and gave Sonya CURT band to rise.

As his glance met hers he saw tears In her eyes, saw her lips trembling. "All right, Curt," she said quietly, with a bumility that shamed bim. She glanced down at the ground, started of to say something more, checked herself and turned away to her tent. He thrust the clips into bis pocket and walked up to the little stone fort which he and Paul had rolled to gether. 'Paul was carefully inspecting it and plugging chinks so that no arrows could sift through.

They did not count on having to use the defense; but their situation was delicate, LeNolr was a crafty fellow, and it was wise to guard against the unforeseen. At the upper tip of the island Ralph was sitting at the water edge occasionally drawing in a dab on the band-line be was holding. He looked lonely and disconsolate. Curt wondered whether Sonya had really told him the truth about ber trip. Ralph was an unselfish soul, but to bring the girl be loved into that country and belp her join another man seemed bit too sell-effacing even for him.

Probably she bad spun him some lie. As be brought Paul an extra rock he was startled by the low quavering call of an owl six hundred yards out upon the lake. He dropped the rock, stood listening. LeNoir? It couldn't be; the red star was nearly two hours bigh. But then the call came nearer but louder: and he distiactly caught the falsetto quality of it.

"Hell! It is LeNoir, Paul! He's come early for ber." Paul nodded. "Yes, It's be. Klale and he must want to get the whole business over with tonight!" They crouched down behind the rocks and waited. Cart's eyes were upon the tent, where Sonya would come out. He bad not imagined that her going would be an or deal, be bad even thought he would take a say.

age pleasure in being free of her for good: but DOR when she actually was leaving, it seemed impossible to let her go. When she stepped outside the tent and looked around cautiously to see where Paul and be were. be rose up, overwhelmed by the Impulse to 89 down there and keep ber from lead. ing. Paul checked him.

took a part of the burden of decision upon self. "Don't, partner! You'd be sorry. Let her leave. She'll be in no ger. Remember.

we are following her and can see that she gets safely out." Sonya hurried on down the island. In the owl dusk her slender form grew fainter and fainter till Curt no longer saw her. A canoe grated on the pea gravel as sbe tugged at 4 the craft to get it afloat. A dark blur moved away from shore. Curt COTered bis face with his bands to sbut out the sight of it.

When be looked up again, the blur was gone. PALL afterward. touched his arm, moments "We'd better be somewhere else in an hour from now. This island 1s going to have visitors." Curt pulled himselt together. "Yes, we'd better go," he said jerk.

11y. "We'll take what. we need of our outat and get away to one of these other islands, and then split up." and Jocku haven't come back." Cart turned toward the caribou leland, barely risible in the deep dusk It just then occurred to him that he had not heard the ruides shoot. Their silence was strange; they had been sone long enough to make two rich trips. burried to the lower end, launched the remaining canoe and darted down lake.

A few rods ofshore be. called in a ruarded roice: "Jocku! You and get out of there. Come alive! We haven't any time to waste." No answer came back. His roice sent the little band of caribou tear ing through the swamp birch to the other side of the island, but neither bor Jockn answered. The explanation dawned on him 'late, that the guides had sat off by with a crash.

He remembered, too themselves all day, talldag in low tones; and that Jocka had acted queerly when he came to mate his request. Now be saw through the whole ruse. Their trips after a carlbou bad been a scheme to secure canoe and get away. Those two had deserted! He whirled the canoe around and started back to camp, swearing at the evil luck that dogged every step he took. The treachery of those Da-' tives was little short of disaster.

Ho bad counted heavily on them to take Ralph back south; and now they bed sneaked away, the pair of cowards, and Nichols was left on his bands. he and Paul were encumbered with Ralph on their swift shadowy! trip, they would not stand a ghost! a chance. Before he bad gone very far be beard a rifle shot down stream. He stopped short, listened. A mile south, down where the river narrowed to a bottle neck, a furry of shots sounded.

The dull thud of the guns was unmistakable -the heavy bear Winchesters Jocku and Francols. Those two guides were in trouble; they'd run into an am-i bush! One of the Winchesters suddenly stopped. The other shot four times! more. Then, faintly in the taut stlence, a long drawn yell wafted up' river, more a scream than any ar. ticulate word.

Piercing, vibrant with terror, it sent shivers through Curt. It was a man's death cry. All his anger changed to heartfelt pity. "Poor devils!" be said softly. "They got it.

The Klosobees had a party at that narrows, to cut us off if we tried to break away." HE the whipped memory on of ashore, that cry. Paul by bad heard it too, and knew what it meant. Working swiftly, they made ready to leave. They left the tents standing, abandoned most of the supplies and all the heavier things; took nothing but guns, blankets and food for a few days. "Carry this stuff to the canoe," Curt directed.

go get Ralph." As be burried up the island, be tried to dgure how he might salvage something out of the wreckage of his plans. Perbaps they could take Ralph several miles ap some tributary river where the Klosobees were not likely to come, and secrete bim in some cave. with food and camp necessities, be picked up later when they bad do.sbed with Karakban. It was poseible. "Ralph! Come along with me.

We're pitching away from this place on the jump." Ralph got up quickly. "Why, what's the matter?" "I'll tell you later. Let's get Into the canoe and put distance between us." "Where's Sonya?" Ralph queried, winding up his fish line. "Don't ask questions now. man, for Lord's sake! And let that line go.

Come on, we're leaving hereHe bit the sentence off. Out upon the lake to the west a "merganser" called. From north and south came answers. Curt stared in the direction of that first call. For a moment be saw nothing.

Then his eyes picked up Ave blurred mottles. out at the limit of vision. He peered sharply at them. Canoes: Five Klosobee canoes! He spun around with Ralph and ran down toward Paul If only they could get out upon the lake, they might make a running battle of it and lose themselves in a maze of reedy islets halt a mile east. At the lower tip of the island his partner's gun ripped the night silence with a sharp cr-aa-ck.

When. he reached Paul, the latter was kneeling down and clipping a fresh magazine into his smoking rifle. "Look!" Paul" grabbed his arm. "Six of them! Coming in at us!" Curt looked where he pointed. Three hundred yards offshore ball a dozen sinister shadows were ins out of the dusk.

Paul's volley bad checked their headlong dash, had scattered to make the target. harder; but they were coming straight on, alming for that lower tip. got us!" Curt gasped. Before they could possibly get their canoe launched and out of the shallows, those dancing shadows would be upon them. By a margin of minutes, the precious minutes lost in bunting for Jocka and Francols, they had failed to get away.

A few stray arrows, already swishIns into the sand around them, phasized the point. "Let's got back to our rocks," he ordered. "Nothing to do now bat shoot it turned and ran for the abet tor. (Copyright, 1933, Island fort. Tomorrow a 9836 f.
