C'uin have discovered the "contact man" of the Itussian croak luor Kara khan, whom thcv are trailing intv the Canadian northwest. Curt has met at ttuseian Lake Bonia Nlch oli, who with er brother Ralph plans to enter the territory ot the Klosohee Indians Curt also ha rescued ttonya from a drunken halt-breed, and nolo Old John, o trapper, declares her expedition U highly dangerous. John, telle Curt ot the Klosoheee. Chapter It 'TEESTE LENOIR . THB Klosobees. John want on, wers hunters, living entirely by the oiase. Tbey had split Into two bands, a northern one, under tbe leadership ot Slam-Klale or the Black Grizzly, and a southern band that lived around the forks ot tbe Lllluar. Sometimes In summer they made little lean-tos ot pine bougbs, but uiost ot tbe time they were cave-dwellers: the warm dry caves ot that region were much better abodes than any tepee. There nsed to be about two hun dred ot them, he said, but Ave years ago a wandering trapper from Fort Nelson bad brought Influenza In and It bad riddled both bands, and now they numbered only a hundred. They bad found the man wander Ing along a river, starved and dee peraiely HI; had taken him in, cared , i, j dally when he's oeen bentlln' I i.iis bush whisky." Curt seized his chance to get a line on LeNolr. "Who is he, John? Just a general loafer?" "No, he's a trapper. Ouldes some, loo, when any big-game hunter hap pens to git in this fer. He come from the God's Lake country in Manltoby 'bout eight year ago. I heard rumor that be done somethln' over there slipped a man some plzen, I heard an' had to put his foot In front ot bis nose an' git" Curt wondered how Igor Kara khan, the metropolitan criminal, had erer got in touch with this fugitive of the Strong-Woods. Probably the Co ack bad once bunted In this coun try and LeNolr bad been his guide. The 'breed could b watched, shad owed; and through him they could nail Karakhan. "Where does LeNolr trap, John? Around here close, I suppose." "No, 'way up the Lllluar, Up nigh the forks." "In Klosohee territory? How does It happen tbey allow him In there?" "Tbey ain't so touchy ag'lnst 'breeds as ag'lnst whites. 'Sides, he's got some stand-In with Slam-Klale, the sub-chief. I never heerd jlst what." Curt grimaced. Mora bad news. Karakhan must be living np north In those forblddeL mountains, toler- ! - fa SweMriitj Curt and Paxton paddled to the post. for lilin till be recovered, and tbe sickness bad spread like a blight amo.ij them. Tbey had set Are to a wliule mountain range to drive tbe white dlseaso-devlls out ot their territory. As he handed back tbe weapon of I theme mountalt, nomads, be made up his mind that he was going to do something about Ralph and Sonya's trip. They didn't know how to take care of themselves In the wilder ness, especially In so appalling a country; and they knew nothing at all about handling Indiana They bad to bo shielded somehow, and the Job was up to him. Outside, the rain was tailing off; the first gray light was reaching np Into the eastern sky. "How about running your net, John?" Curt suggested. "I'll go along." Old Paxton pulled on bis shoes and Jacket. They went outside, launched a canoe, and paddled off to tbe Islands. Locating tbe anchored chunk that marked the net, they skirled over, Uftud one end of the seine, and be gan working down along It, extricat ing tbe fish as they went and drop ping the net back Into the water. "CON YA mentioned to me 'bout you Ubarln' that run-In with the 'breed last evenln'," old John remarked, tossing a flopping trout Into the canoe. "I know you c'n take care ot yourself, but Jlst the same you be leer of that feller while you're here a" Rooalan Lake." "Why so?" "He's a bad 'un, 'Teeate Is." Curt started a little. " 'Toetse ? Teeste who?" "His name's Teeste LeNolr." Out of long experience wilh crash ing surprises, Curt never batted an ye. But Inwardly be was dura founded. Heavens above, he'd whip ped Karakhsn's contact man! Had made a bitter enemy of the one person at Russian Lake with whom he wanted to be friends! "Yes, he's a bad 'un, Paxton re peated, all unaware ot the bomb he had exploded with Curt. "He ain't above sllckln' a knlte Inter a man. ated there because ot the 'breed'! Influence over the Klosohees. Not so good. HE and Paxton paddled across to tbe post wltb their catch. The three-o'clock sun, Just Inching above tbe northeast ranges, glistened against the many windows of the mission, and Its IKe-glving warmth felt good after tbe chilly night After they tossed flsh to the dogs, Curt selected half a dozen of the smaller trout, cleaned them at the water edge, and set about getting break fast. "Did you ever do any prospecting up the Lllluar, John?" he asked, aa he put the trout Into the sizzling pan. "Not to speak of. Ton ain't flgurln' on prospecting up thataway?" "Well, np as far as the pass. You say there's no danger that tar. Could yon make ma a map ot the terri tory? There aren't any government charts." "I might mebbe. I ain't no hand at pencil work, but I know tbe coun try from A to Z." While Curt finished breakfast, Paxton went to work with a paper sack and pencil stub and produced a oaarL It waa a rough thing but accurate and dependable. "Here's tbe pass," be explained to Curt. "Here's the Lllluar Forks on above. This mountain lake over here, tbat's where I trap." "Where does LeNolr live?" "On tbls main fork, bout a mile up from the prong." Curt folded the paper and but toned It carefully In bis shirt pock et. Good work, for half an hour's talk! That one little dot, showing him LeNolr's cabin, would save week of searching. He would make copies of that chart; one for himself and Paul; one tor Smash, who waa standing by at Tellacet with the plane, and one to send to A-K. to let Marlln know what had happened to them It they never came out of the Lllluars.
