PAGE FOURTEEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1933. rnpmnncM vaiiev ill II Ul 1 L LI VI 11. bk. SYNOPSIS! Curt Tennyson and Paul St. Clair, tvtth Halph and Sonya Nlchole. luit have driven off a band of Ktosohee Indiane, who had been inspired to attack them &l LeNoir, halt-breed agent ot loor Karakhan, the millionaire crook whom urt and Paul are tracking down. Curt and Bonya, n whom Curt Is much intereeted, have rescued Tenn-Og, a Klosohee shot in the fight, and learn that IeNolr mysteriously has ordered that Bonva not be intured. Chapter 25 SUDDEN DECISION ITILL this band of yours attack us again tomorrow night," he laked Tenn-Cg, "or wait till they're Itrengtbened by Slam-KIale'i men?" Tenn-Og said positively they ironld wait. It was only at LeNolr's Insistence that they had not done so In the first place. "How long will It be till those other men get here?" It would take a runner two suns and two nights to reacb Slam Klale'a band, and three suns and two nights for the band to come south. Curt continued bis questioning tor a while but learned nothing mora of any great importance. The Information tbat It would be several lays before the other Klosobees could get there gate him an Idea. F , Bis body ached, his brain was all fagged; the old leg wound that caused bis limp was paining him dully, as it always did when be was near exhaustion. At times the temp tation to tie up to the bank and go to sleep almost overwhelmed him. Daybreak found blm stumbling es haustedly across a long portage tea miles up tbe Iskltlmwah. When the sun rose, be was halfway to bis goal. At an overfalls pool he stripped off his clothes, bathed In the Icy green swirl to refresh himself, and then forged ahead. At mld-mornlng be paddled put upon the lake that was old John's ' winter home. j On the south shore, where a log I cabin nestled under the pines, bis j glistening amphibian was riding at anchor. With a great sigh of relief he dipped bis weary paddle and beaded tor the ship. An exultation lightened his weariness. Time and distance, man's two old enemies In the vast North, dwindled to nothing when one stepped Into a plane. Smash came out ot the cabin and caught the prow of tbe canoe as It nosed ashore. "Hullo, old man! I began to think you wasn't going to show up at all." He noticed Curt'a haggard face, the lines ot exhaustion. "From your looks, you Just did get here." "How long've you been waiting? BLEND II? NW YORK. Dec. X6. (AP) Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, city commissioner of health.

(API Acting Secretary Morgenthau said to day be bad declined a compromise lu l: Income tax case against Charles E. Mitchell, former head of tbe Na tional City bank, and "will proceed with the ordinary legal processes and collect the tax." Morgenthau volunteered only the following brief announcement to newsmen: "I have decided It I In the pub lic Interest to proceed with the ordi nary legal processes and collect the tax." Mitchell was acquitted In criminal proceedings regarding bis income tax returns but the government has a civil case to collect taxes It claims are due. Morgenthau aald the treas ury had been asked to settle the case but had declined. S'MATTER POP- By C. M. PAYNE Sonya made the His party would not need blm dur ing that time. He certainly could put that freedom to good use. For one thing be could keep that rendezvous with Smash; and for another he could find out something about Sonya who she was, wbat lay be hind this strange trip of hers. She herself would not tell blm, but be believed be could easily enough Set at the truth by a roundabout bit of strategy. More and more lie had become convinced that her trip was some crucial and weighty mission. He bad made up hla mind to atop bis own search temporarily and aee her through; but he could do nothing so long as be was worklug in the dark. His bunt for Karakban was already at a standstill; she was all tangled UP In it, and bo was hampered by a clumsy party. The quick and clean cut way ot handling the muddled sit uation was to find out her mission, drive It through for her, and then go after Karakhan. Outside the tent be and Faul talked bis plans ovor and agreed on them. "I'd better leave now," Curt con cluded. "When day breaks I've got to be far enough away from here that .the Klosobees can't spot me. Sneak my canoe down to the lower nd of the Island, Paul Don't let these others know wbat you're do ing. Put In one blanket, one paddle and a bit ot grub. "Now, Paul, you'll be In charge here while I'm gone. Everythlng'll be up to you. Keep a good guard at Bight, and make Francois and Jocku walk tbe cbalk Una." AT the Are be talked I tow words with Sonya, who was making the Indian some hot broth. Paul came back presently and gave blm tbe sign that all was ready. Slip ping away from eacip, Curt burrled down to the canoe, pushed off, and crossed tbe dark lake to tbe Iskl tlmwah mouth. Not until he started up the river on his lone trip did be realise how desperately tired be was. Three Bights hand-run without sleep, the brush In the pass tbat morning and the fight two hours ago It was the climax to a whole week of heavy train. Indian hot broth. "Three daya." "Have any trouble uudlng the place?" "Not a speck. That chart was a beaut." Out ot sympathy for Curt'a tiredness, be nobly suppressed all tbe questions boiling Inside of him. "What d'you say what's on deck?" CURT beached the canoe and un tied the mooring ropes ot the plane. "We're leaving here. You take the controls." Inside the cabin he unfastened the mechanic's seat and rear place, stowed them In the tuselsge cubby, and made himself a pallet on tbe floor. Smash climbed Ic with the colled ropes. "Where to, old man? North, east, south, west, or straight up?" "South," Curt bade. "To Van couver. And don't let any ducks roost on your pontoons while you're getting there," Smash started the motor, stood out upon the lake, lifted the ship onto the step, took off, and circled for altitude. Higb nougL to clear the ranges, he beaded aouth. As he passed over the first tower Ing snow-cap, he glanced down at his partner. With packchute for a pillow and an arm bent under bla head. Curt was dead alseop. It was the stopping at the engine that roused Curt. He had become so accustomed to the throbbing roar through many hours that the sudden silence jarred him wide awake. He sat up, trying to lace himself. With helmet askew Smash was slumped down In the pilot's 'seat, dog tired, a dilapidated cigarette hanging from bis Hps. Outside some body was warping the plana along side a pier and making It fast He slid open a panel and looked out. It was early dusk. They were I- some good-slsed city a mass of buildings stood limned against tbe sky, and Into the dlatance stretched long rows ot avenue lights. "Where are we. Smash Prince Rupert?" Smash stared at him. "Hell's bells, man, you're In Vancouver!" "Vancouver? Already?" "Ton mean all day. You've been batting It off tor ten hours straight." ICovyrioht, mi. William B.
