A drunken half-breed hae followed her. Curt dislikes making an enemy of anyone but the olrl is in dan ger. Chapter Ten QUICK ACTION FROM time to time Sonya glanced west at the looming etorra. Streaked by snaky lightning, the black thnnderheads had cut off the llngorlng afterglow of the sun. Be tween herself and the wooded part ot the Island stood a clump of life less pines, lifting their gaunt armB to the sky. It seemed to Sonya that all the Innumerable swallows which she had seen tilting and volleying over the lake that evening had gathered on thoae dead pines to sleep, tor. the branches looked fuzzy with them, and their faint twittering sounded like the purling of a stream. She flipped out the butterfly for a last time. Something struck It, struck hard. The reel spun, her light rod tugged and whipped. Be hind her at the woods edge a stealthy figure slunk out to the clump ot pines, but Sonya's atten tion was all given to the fight on her hands, and she did not notice. Not until she had reeled In the struggling seven-pounder did . she become alive to her danger. She had seen nothing, heard nothing, but she sensed that she was no long er alone, and she whirled around. Against the lighter background of the water she saw a man a head and shoulders between two ot the dead pines. In a flash she understood his In tention; understood why be had fol lowed her from the post and sneaked ashore so stealthily and ,uf bor off from her canoe. Panlo seized her, and the fishing rod dropped from her hands. For a moment she was over whelmed by ber desporate plight the post so far away, those thunder heads drawing the curtain of night across the sky, and herself alone on the Island with that man yonder. With a great effort she fought down her panto and made herself think. It wouldn't do any good to plead with him; he was one of thoso drunken shameless camp hangers on. She had no weapon to fight him with, and In a physical struggle he could crush her ono-handad. Her only chance was to outwit him some how and got to her boat SHE) let ber creel and net He, but picked up her rod ugaln and stepped back oft the narrow tongue ot rock where he had almost cor nered her. . The man moved away from tho pines and came nearer. He was lurching unsteadily, Sonya noticed She believed sbe stood a good chance to elude him, rush to her canoe and gel It afloat before he ' could catch her. In order to have a atrip of open sand for her dash she moved toward the landwaBh. "Tou t'lnk you run 'way, ftelnf" the man taunted In a drunkoi chuc kle. "Huh, dat canoe of your, she all cut op to de dohblll I slash ber so you no got 'way. Me, 1 wise not You and me, we stay here on dls testis lslan'." Sonya's . heart stopped beating. Her canoe, down the landwnsh he'd found It, wrecked HI She was caught, as helpless as a creature In a trap. On beyond the plnea two shadowy figures unexpectedly appeared out ot the darkness of the spruces. Son ya thought they were 'or, federated ot the 'breed. Without a second's hesitation she whirled toward the water edge. She could hardly swim a stroke, but rather than remain there with those throe she meant to strike out for the nearest Island, two hundred yards away. A sharp voice called to the 'breed. "I say, fellow, what the derll d'you think you're doing hero?" The voice stopped Sonya in her tracks. "Oh-oo!" It was a word less cry of thankfulnoss. She poercd at the two figures as they came on. Strangers tbey were. And that sharp commanding volci was strange loo. They must be the two prospectors who hod come to Rus sian Lake that evening. The 'breed forked around and stared blankly at the pair. With his brain all muddled by liquor, he did not understand at first this sudden turn to things. But It did dawn on htm finally. Caught dead to rights. Back In HiMpHal. SALEM, Nov. 37. (API Max Ul rlch was at liberty only lour hours before being returned la'e Saturday to the Oregon sute hospital from Which he escaped.

And then, as thoso two figures stalked nearer and nearer he went suddenly berserk. Ills band dropped to hlB belt, whipped out s glittering hunting knire, and with a yell he lunged at the two. THE younger stranger drew an automatic and leveled It at the 'breed. "Stop!" he snapped. "Put down that knife, you!" "Put up your gun, Paul," the older stranger ordered. "I'll handle him and his frog-sticker." Without a gtin or knife or any weapon at all, ho tensed himself to cAJr - ' Somethlnp struck at Sonya's hook. moot the vicious rush.
