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.

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."

weapon at all, ho tensed himself to

bled with fenr for him. The 'breed
waa tailor than he and much heav
ier, and that flashing '-nlfe was a
wicked thing In a hand-to-hand bat
tle. But In the next few soconds some
thing happenedhappened so swift
ly that Sonya could hardly follow It
As the 'brood's knlfo swished down
