nine months. The quarry ie loot

crok, with whose nefarious oareet

Chapter Four
"STILL A MOUNTED"
"IT7ISH we were stepping out to
gether. You and me, we oouid
bust this man's town wide open
That wouldn't be any trick a-iall
compared to flying oyer the Thelon
Barrens and swooping down at wolf
packs with a machine gun. Who
tart at one end of Jasper Arenue
and roll the old street up Into a tight
curl. Ilka a pine sharing! " And
when Curt ehook his head: "All
right, then. But snakosl I wish
you'd come along."
He was sincere about wanting
Curt: but also, and more to the
point, he needed financial backing
that evening, and he would have
that If Curt went with bim. As he
brushed bis rebellious hair he re-
ivere swaying lorciieg of tbe Blood
dance, and over the horlion came
the rolling thunder of buffalo herds
chased by tbe hard-galloping Sioux.
Hlackfoot warred with Flegan, and
lie whisky trader corrupted both.
Then across tha prairies came
Idlng a small band of men, wearing
.od tunics and yellow-striped trous-
. ors. Shagalasha stern soldiers
they were called; and they earned
the name. By heroic measures they
sot the land to rights and kept It so,
while Immigrant caravans poured in
and the railroad came.
If western Canada was the most
law-abiding and peaceful regies on
tbe globe. It was largely thanks to
their Imperishable work In laying
the very foundation! of that so
ciety. Many of that original band bought
out of the Force and went Into min
ing, ranching, lu.iberlng. The raw
land offered them a glorious oppor
tunity to build personal fortunes,
and they looked to their own inter
ests. But A-K, and others like him,
stuck with the Mounted. A-K had
given, forty long years to the Force,
and now be did not even own a
home for himself.
SOMEWHERE in the city a chime
sounded, breaking Into Curt's
reverie. He glanced at his watch,
Talent Orange

, meeting was well attended. The
covered dish luncheon held at 7:30

Marlln stood up staring at Curt.
fleeted that on seventy-five cents be
could take his girl to a two-bit ebow
and then have coded and doughnuts.
He thrust his watch Into his
pocket His hand touched something
crisp, like a bit of stiff paper. He
pulled It out, glanced at It, stared
at It.
"Hoy!" Ho whirled on Curt.
"Look at that! Am I drunk or dream
ing?" , "What'ra you going Into a tall
pin about?"
"Why why," Smash gasped, "It'e
a twenty-dollar bill! In my pants
pocket!"
"That Is a strange state of affairs,
for you," Curt remarked, not betray
ing himself by the flicker of an eye
lid. "You probably left It in there
last fall. You haven't had that civil
ized ault on since then."
"By gosh, I must have! But that's
the llrst time in my born days that
I ever left twenty iron men in my
pocket and forgot all about 'em!"
He did a jig dance In front of the
.mirror. "What 1 mean, this comes
along In the thin nick of time to
save me from embarrassment."
; "Cheerio. Stay out of Jail."
!AS Smash wont whistling to the
elevator. Curt turned again and
looked down, hands In pockets, at
the light gleams ou the river below.
He was torn with Indecision, one
part of his nature pulling against
tbe other. He could not clearly see
or word the real slcnlflcance of the
struggle, but be did know that his
conscience hurt him about A-K.
Over at Vancouver headquarters
Marlln had nociled him. needed
young hands and a man be could
trust; and he had dosorted. And
now he wae refusing even to help on
this Karakhan business. What were
a few months of sacrifice compared
to a whole llfotlme of it, such as
Marlln had given?
As he thought of A-K's career and
gmed down at the historical Sas
xatchowan, the 8wlft Flowing, his
Imagination drifted back acrons the
dorados to a time before he was
born; when Asslnlbolne tepees clus
tcred where office buildings now
stood, and the lights beneath him
saw It was time tor him to leave
wtth Rosalie; and stepped down the
corridor to the Marlln suite. I .
Marlln looked up from the table
where he was working, "Rosalie's
down In the lobby meeting some
friends, Curt," ho said kindly.
"She'll be back In a minute." He laid
his pen aside. "Curt, Rosalie told me
the details about that Consolidated
offer. If I'd known them beforehand.
I wouldn't have mentioned this Kar
akhan matter at all. Of course you'll
take that offer. It pays quite decent
ly, and you'll enjoy the work; but
this other la just charity."
Curt winced. A-K's very kindness
and generosity hurt him all the
worse. He suddenly realised that It
he refused Marlln and went back
north be would come near to losing
his own self-respect He had always
thought of A-K with affection and
admiration, as a stern old Roman;
but In those moments, as he saw
how tired A-K was and how much
his shoulders had stooped In the
past year, a great wave of sympa
thy, of pity, surged through him.
A-K seemed so much older, so
much pearer the last mustering out,
than ha had been a yoar ago. Some
body ought to help him and he good
to him; he had always helped
others.
'A-K" he blurted out the fateful
words Impulsively, heedless of con
sequences "I'm going after Kara
khan! 1 came In here a minute ago
swearing that I wouldn't; but I am;
I've got tol"
Marlln pushed back his chair and
stood up, staring at him.
"Why -hy, Curt, you mustn't do
that. I wasn't expecting you to at
all. Don't do It on the spur of tha
momonL At least think It over "
"I've thought It over. I can go
back north afterward. This case
means a lot to yon and the Tollce
and tho public, and I ought to do my
share."
Marlln reached out his hand.
"You're still a Mounted, CurL You
always will be. You can't got away
from It"
