hYHUl'SIS: Bv clever mti,
Curt Tennnaon and Paul Bt. 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-

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.
