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."
