PXGE T5TGHT V MEDFORD 3I2JL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUXDIY, NOVEMBER 19, 1933. - kt , cnDDinnrM uaiicv i? . tut Tlliffinlu Ruhrru fT)nliltlL' RYN0FPI8: After a Kinter 0 woi auntlnp by airplane in the eub-Arctie, Curt Tennyson return to Edmonton to find a meoge from hi former chief in the Mounted Police. A. K. Martin, afc inn thtit Curt not "tie up" trtth anything before they meet. Curt O'iej to Martin's hr.ttl roam, tee hie fiar.cie, Rosalie afarlln, and then poee to breakfast with A-K. A-K i omaeed to find that Curt already know the history of Igor Karakhan, the international erook who ha evaded the polio tor t month. Curt look over Kara k han't record, and photograph of bin. Chapter Thrss . CURT REFUSES lURT glanced at the snaps, two I' of them full-length; and studied one enlarged bust photo. He had een the Russian personally on half A dozen occasions, but not close enough to observe him rerr well. He woe struck by the Intelligence 'and dynamlo power of Karakhan. A ,man of forty, tall and commanding, ho did not look Russian at all; his handsome manly features had noth ing of the usual Slavic broadness. 'His dark eyes, staring straight Into iCnrt's, were smiling a faint aar Idonlo smile. Except for a lustful ex pression about his mouth, be gave no suggestion of the crime trail that ha bad tracked across two conti nents. The record contained several facts the Cossack and wiping that sal donlo smile off bis face, ' Marlln stirred his coffee musingly. "Curt, I wouldn't be asking this of yon If the case was Just ordinary. But It's an International affair, and besides that It goes a lot deeper than merely capturing and punish ing a criminal. Ton and I know that when some porson makes a fat haul by theft or graft or shady deal, aid gets by with It we know what a pernicious Influence It has on the man In the street. It breaks down his respect for law." Curt saw the force of the argu ment, but It did not move him. Mo ments ago he had made his decision. He would not take the Job. He was going back down north. Til think about It, A-K," he said evaelvely, "and nh, let you know." A-K shrugged bis shoulders, the l(only show of his hitter disappoint- menu iin anew iubi uurc was re fusing htm. ; IN a way he did not blame Curt. Those seven years had been harsh years, a big fraction of a man's lifetime; and he thoroughly under stood Curt's wish to go north again. His year down there had been happy, and he had richly deserved It Yet, the refusal hurt Not only be cause he had been banking heavily "Soak up all the sociability you esn," said Smash. Which Curt had not known at alL Karakhan was a Don Cossack, born of the lowest muzhik parents. Join ing the army at an early age, he rose by sheer brilliance and became colonel In the Imperial Guard at twenty-five, As an aide to General Sukhonr llnov, he had raked In his share of Bukhomllnov's war graft during those times whon the Russian armies were struggling pitifully In the Gallclan swamps, with Laden- dorff's gray hosts In front of them and traitors In the high places he- bind. "We got that data from the Soviet OJ.U.," A-K explained. "They want him as badly aa we do. lou see, his Came In Vancouver was to pose as an agent of the Soviet foreign trade commission. With his Russian back ground and all, he put It over In easy style. He cleaned np a million that we know of. and his haul must have totaled twice that much; some of those firms won't admit they were .defrauded, for fear they'd lose .prestige. Last September, on the isixteentn, or seventeenth, he cashed In and vanished like a puff of smoke." CURT understood that A-K wanted him to run Karakhan down and arrest him. After so brazen a crime, ithe man's clean get-away must have .dealt a serious blow to the repute jtlon of the Royal Mounted. And no .doubt A-K, like all decent-thinking -men, considered that Karakhan's reckoning for the long trail of hu ;man suffering, death and ruined lives that lay behind him, was due and overdue. As he looked out Into the inn "splashed court. Curt felt a challenge ;ln pitting himself against this Inter Inatlonal criminal who had outgen eraled the police of half a dozen na jtlons; and he was proud that the ; heads of ths Mounted should have turned to him, an outsider now. iwhen all other recourses had failed. Personally he despised Karakhan with a tinge of loathing; and In fancy he Imagined himself nailing on Curt to get Karakhan, but be cause it showed him so clearly that Curt had changed a lot since his Police days. He appeared uncertain of himself, wavering between the careless selfish freedom of hie new life and ths earnest responsibility of the old. In the last few weeks he had bees quietly working to secure Curt one of the best positions In the province, a wok which would glre blm scop for his abilities. If be wss to sea Tennyson established In that posi tion, It had to be quickly. Unknown to Curt, unknown even to Rosalie, death had marked him one year longer, two at the very most his physician said. Now Curt was turning him down, not only on ths Karakhan hunt but on this In finitely more Important thing. Ha felt very old and defeated. Curt had been Just as much a eon to him aa Rosalie, of his own flesh and blood, had been a daughter. At a familiar voice apeaklng their names, hs and Curt looked around. Smash Desplalnea was coming Into the breakfast room. Hs was freshly shaved and his red hair was cropped close; but his muddled flying clothes brought haughty looks of disap proval from the correctly groomed people there. Waring the waiters breezily aside, he picked np a third ohalr and started across to Join his partner and Marlln. 'Better not discuss Karakhan be fore him," Curt said quietly. "He's honest as daylight of course, but he's got an unguarded tongue. Well talk thla over later, A-K." In their room that evening Smash paused In his whistling to Inquire, Yon end Rosalie stepping out to night Curtt" Curt turned from the north win dow. "Yea." "That's ths timet Better make It high, wide and handsome, and soak up all the soclallblllty you can whlla you'rs hack In civilization. It's your last chance till snow flies, you know."
