Clair, trailing the Inter national crook Igor Karakhan Into tha Canadian Northwest, have joined p'irfl-s with Ralph and fion ld Nichols, presumably entomolo gists on their way to study the tn sects of ths lAlluar country, horns of the extremely dangerous Rloso hse Indians. Curt is much taken ieith Bonya, but finds she has lied , about being an entomologist. He determines to question her. but she gets the lump on htm and asks iohv a man of his gifts should be a prospector, a Curt has claimed to bs. Chapter JO SONYA'8 SECRET "70T3 know I'm Kussian,"" Sonya went on. "It It were possible. Tl f o back to Russia and try to plajr iome part there, however small. When I flared out at yon that era sing, It was Inst my narrow personal feelings. But I can't go back. N probably be imprisoned the minute I landed. And besides I've been In Canada twelve years and feel Cana dian, and a person can do something here too. , "When I say "useful,' Cart, I don't mean professional upllfters and fussy reformers who go around pry In., Into other people's re of living and trying to make everybody con form to their own standards. Heav ens nol But there are roles where men can do a real good. Men with conscience, I mean and yon're got a conscience." Curt wished be could tell her ot that evening In Edmonton when he had thrown away the Consolidated offer and taken on the Karakhan hunt. Bhe would applaud that, where Rosalie had called him a tool and had utterly failed to understand his motive. He recalled 8onya's words. "Idling around pleasantly," and he knew that that was how she would regard his plans u return north. If she knew about them. Near Ave o'clock they came to a little bay, went ashore, gathered firewood and cleared a place for the two tents. It was the prettiest camp lte of their 'rip. They sat down nnder a pin to wait for the other canoes. Curt plucked nervously at the leaf of a maidenhair fern. He could stave off his talk with Sonya no longer. . ; "There's something I'd like to on jderstand, Bonya. It's none ot my ibuslness, except that I've got a friend's Interest In you and Ralph" Sonya Interrupted: "I know what you're going to say that we're not entomologists. Ralph told me you asked him about that beetle. I knew you were suspicious and would find us out sometime." She pointed at the pass. "And now you want to know why we're going into that country. You're thinking there's Just some whim or rattlebrained Idea behlnu our trip, aren't you?" "On the contrary, I told Paul that you must have some p.-etty substan tial motive." "I'm glad you have that much con fidence In us, after finding out how we lied." She picked a lichen curl and unrolled It In her small brown fingers. "It Is a substantial reason. Curt." "I don't Question that. But I do question your secrecy about the whole thing when the trli Is so dan gerous. It I knew what you're try ing to do, I might be able to give you a band." 8onya shook her head. "I dont believe you would. In faot, I know you wouldn't." "Are you afraid I'd go barging Into your plans like a bull In a china hop I wouldn't." She still shook her head In re fusal. "I'd like to tell you. But 1 Imply can't. It's In the very nature of my motive that I must keep It to myself." "I can't conceive of any such cir cumstance," "Then you'll hare to take my word for It, Curt." HE) felt provoked at her. It was possible that she or Ralph had heard some wild tale about a rich lode or placer In the Lllluara or that -ah wanted to make a study ot the 'Klosobees themselves, but he could not believe either ot these guesses. "There's something olse still less of my business, I suppose; but Bon ya. why do you pretond this relation ship to Ralph? ' That caught her surprise. A eolor flew Into her oheeks. "Pretond relationship what do you moan?" Curt was certntc ot his ground. He plunged boldly: "Ralph Is no more your brother then 1 am, girl. He's no relation to yon at all." "Why why, how can you make an assertion like thst?" PORTLAND, Dee. . (AP) Declar.

He didn't mean to listen, but1 be couldn't help It" i "How much else did Paul heart"; Her tones were quick, frightened. "When was this?" "Two evenings ago. Hs didn't' hear anything else." . Bonya breathed easier. Curt real-' lied, too late, that he had mad a mistake. There was something else, and she ws afraid for him to know It. If be bad pretended he knew, he could probably have got It out of her. She admitted reluctantly: "Tea, you're right; we're not related. Ill tell you why we made thls-rthls ar rangement. If I'd bees alone, I couldn't have com In her at all. I wouldn't even have got as far as Russian Lake. Ralph's a good friend. I knew 1 could trust Ralph Implicit ly. He's a gentleman through and through. Under the circumstance our arrangement was entirely sensi ble. It was the only recourse 1 had." But all that told him nothing about her mission In that country. Curt swung the talk back: "Sonya, I'm not playing cards with you, or trying to meddle In your business, or looking for any ad vantage to myself. You may be Jus tified In going on north. In that case I'll give yon all the help In my pow er. But Tre got to know what you're doing." He paused a moment, then added point-blank, "And you've got to tell me." 8onya refused flatly. Tm sorry, Curt I can't do It" There was no us to argue. Hs was Irritated by her stubborn si lence and Jealous that Ralph should share her confidence while he was barred out, "I suppose you're going to wash your hands ot us now," she said. "You Intend to go on above the paas?" he demanded. And when she nodded: "You're fumbling dy namite, If you only knew it" "I do know It But there's a chance that we can get on friendly terms with the Klosobees." "A mighty slim chance, from what old John tells me. Ton can't go on without Paul and me." "W will." She said It quietly, bu Curt knew she meant It Her purnoslveness was almost grim. Short of tying her up hand and toot and taking bar back to Russian Lake he could not stop her, "If we can make friends with the Klosobees," she said presently, 'there wouldn't be any danger at all. That's the crux of the whole matter. You've had a good deal ot experience with Indiana, Curt; 1 believe yon oould manage It" She leaned to wards him, a, plea crept Into her vole. "I know I don't deserve help, after refusing to take you Into my oonfldence; but won't you, anyway. Curt?" AS he saw th situation, he was forced to take his choice ot help ing her or letting iier o Into that country without protection. By themselves she and Rinb simply did not stand a chance. That great blue cleft np river would prove a one-way portal Into Kloiohee terri tory. Perhaps he could work himself Into the good graces ot the Kloso bees. It so, the whole danger would blow over, aa she had said. At any rate Paul and he would be guarding ber. They could go cautiously, keep their eyes open and bring ber back to safety It trouble started popping. He did not Ilk th prosptct Sh would be exposed to 'anger, how ever careful he and Paul might be, and be would be sadly handicapped on the Karakhan hunt But the al ternative was to let her go through that pass unprotected, defenseless: and that was something h" oould not do. Sonya was watching him, hanging upon hla decision. Curt saw her Angers trembling a sh waited. He thought It fin of bar that In those moments sh mad not th slightest attempt to sway him by her charm or her power aa a girl. "I'll make a bargain with you, Sonya," he aald finally. "It's this: I'll take you in there and do every thing I can with those Klosobees. but It I see that a friendly oontact Isn't possible you're to 1. Paul and m bring you back out. and you'll go on south to Russian Lake. Will you agra to thst?" Sonya elasped his hand. "Curt, that's awfully splendid ot youl" "You promise, then? You'll turn bad- when I give the word, and you proi ;e you'll go straight south to Rubs. an Lake?" "Yes, I promise." Copyright, tttt William B.
