PAOE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1933. FORBIDDEN VALLEY SYNOHSIS: The fret pur. Curt Tennyson sect when he r tunia to lulmonton after a wintti epent hunting ivolvee in tlie sub Arctio ie Konulie starlln, whom he erpecte tome day to marry. The second ia A. K. Martin, her lather, hie old chief in the lloyal Haunted. A-K vranie Curt to track dou-n Igor Karakhan, International crook, who hae ituded the Mount ed lor 9 monthe. Curt hae an offer of a good job, and doee not want to return to the Haunted force. But the eight ol A-K gray, bowed un der hie vianu caret, chanpee At mind. Curt agrees to help him. Chapter Five ON THE WINQ CURT swore to himself that when he got through with the Karak han business he was through and done and would not allow himself to be entangled any deeper. "I'm not 'still a Mounted,'" he denied. "I'm taking this on to pay hack a little fraction of what I owe you, A-K, and because well, I guess I'm part wolf-hound and can't resist a good chase. If I run that fellow down It'll be worth halt a dozen Consolidated jobs." "There won't be any lf,' Curt. You'll take him." He tried to say It confidently, to bide his. own doubts. At the best Curt bad only an outside chance. The difficulties of the hunt were ap palling. Yonder In that city of a While Smash pumped the pon toons dry, Curt stripped the canvas hood from the radial and Inspected. Shoring away, they climbed Into the cabin, cranked the Inertia starter and stood out Into the lake. At the controls. Curt skimmed north two miles to warm the motor, veered around Into the light wind, and gave the i plane the gun. Dancing down lake, he reached speed, rocked the stick and jumped the ship Into the air. He circled once for altitude, passed over Edmonton, a mile above the still-sleeping city; and headed wear, toward the snowy Selklrks and the Pacific Coast. As he flew along, his eyes were on the horizon orer the plane's nose, but his thoughts went on beyond that horizon to the weeks and months ahead. He wondered where the Karakhan hunt would take him and what the veiled future held for him. Many out-of-town visitors as well as local people have taken the oppor tunity to inspect Mcdiord's first "all- electric" kitchen whlcn Is now on dis play In the lobby. of the Copco home office nulldlng on West Main street. This new electric kitchen embodies all the latest time and labor-saving equipment, Including an electric range, refrigerator, dlshwaither, food mixer, ventilating fan, radio, Te'.e chron clock and many smaller appli ances such as percolator, toaster, etc. The cleverly designed cabinets and drawers Installed by the Trow bridge Cabinet Works of this city have caused much favorable comment, and Illumination represents me last word in modern kitchen lighting. The Copco kitchen Is open for in spection dally, except Sunday, from 8 s- m. to 6 p. m., and every local housewife Is cordially Invited to see the up-to-date exhibit of modern kitchen equipment.

He had stepped out Into the flowing streams of humanity and those streams had closed over him, oblit erating every trace. Shrewd detectives, men like In spector Baldwin, had miserably failed to track him. The scent, was cold, nine months cold. As immedi ate havens for Karakhan, down the west coast lay a score of cities rang ing up to a million; and across the Paclflo yawned all the teeming porta of the Orient. And yet he was asking Curt to pick up that man's trail and run him to earthl It was like trying to And a cloud one had seen laat week. Be sides all those tremendous handi caps, Karakhan had always been a shade better than any man ever sent after him. He had the power of money, the advantage of a cold trail, and the whole world tor his hiding place. But at least It would be a magnif icent hunt. This battle between Tennyaon and that criminal of two continents was going to be a battle worth watching. He wondered how Curt would go about the search. What methods could he use that hadn't been used already? "Have you got any Idea of how you're going about tha business. Cuitr Curt nodded. "I'm going to make use of his weak point." " 'His weak point' t" "Women," Curt aald tersely. PARLY the next morning Curt and J- Smash checked out at the hotel, ate breakfast, and taxied through the gray wot dawn to Cooking Lake. At a private pier Curt'a trim am phlblaa was rocking on the wavelets. A three-place cabined plane, the sturdy ship had carried him and rati I and Smash all over the Koe watln barrens, up and down the water-longer! Mackonile country, and westward Into the unknown Arctic Rockies. Aoross long "dry hops" where a konklng motor would have meant a fatal crack-up, It had taken them unfalteringly, so that they had come to look on it aa one of them, a silent tartner. At Tale they struck the Fraser, followed It on west, and reached Vancouver an hour before noon. After registering at the airport. Curt sent Smash to the Marlln home where A-K had invited them to stay while in the city. He himself went directly to the Mounted headquar ters. Of his former associates on the Silent Squad the only two still there were Arnold Baldwin, now an Inspec tor, and Duty-Sergeant Holden. "So the Old Man Clapped you on this case, eh!" Baldwin remarked. In his precise Oxford. He resented It that an outsider had been brought In, and took no pains to bide what he felt "Well, you're damned wel come, Tennyson! I'm glad to give over and let someone elae do the falling." Curt paid no attention to the re sentment. There was work to be done, not personalities to be In dulged. At a desk In Baldwin's office he went over the whole Karakhan case with the Inspector and Holden. Fall ing to trail Karakhan, they had planted Inquiries in his old haunts abroad; but the Cossack had not gone back. They had tried to traoe his swindle money to banks or de positories, but he had turned It all Into unregistered securities, as anonymous as cash. They had sent tracers to the var ious societies of Russian emigres. shadowed his Vancouver acquaint- ances and watched their mall, and had made all the cuatomary contacts with police agencies In the States, the empire and Europe. When the conference ended, Bald win tilted hack In hla chair and looked challenglngly through hla cigarette smoke at Curt. "Well Tennyson," he demanded, "can you Improve on our workf" "I don't see how; you've done a real job, Arn," Curt said, rather ab sently.
