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.

bridge Cabinet Works of this city have
caused much favorable comment, and

in modern kitchen lighting.

hundred and thirty thousand a cer
tain man had disappeared last fall.
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. Ha wa- studying a picture

A recommendation tor denial of the
application of radio station KOIK
of Portland to Increase Its day-time:
operating power from l oon to a aoo
watts, was made to the federal radio

Walker said that while granting
the application would permit thsl
station to Increase Its day-time ser
vice srea without objectionable In
terference wlti other stations. "It
would appear If Mlt!onl facilities
