They are Sanyo and Kalph tlichols, bound on a mission they will not discuss. Curt finds that Sonya, in whom he is much tnter esttd, it really the daughter ol Prince Btephn Volkov. Russian 4migrt. A Russian friend of her familii is describing the escape of the Volkovs from the Red Terror. "J MET the Volkovi again In Mon golian Urga halt a year later," Feodor Plekhanov went on. "They had won through. As my son and 1 bad. Prince Stephn welded us Into a band for self-defense and got us through to Peking, and there we scattered to the tour winds." No wonder, Curt mused, that Son ya had turned on him with such violence when be mildly praised the Leninists that evening In the prison house. And no wonder she seldom smiled. Gradually swinging Plekhanov away from the gmlgre story, be led the old Russian to talk about the Volkovs In Victoria. But with that phase of their life Plekhanov was not so well acquainted. They had Curt laughed. "Dont be craty, Am." "What's crasy about It?" "The whole Ideal' To leave her ont of It and argue Irom Karakban'a viewpoint, be'd never let anybody know where he's biding. He didn't even allow Jim Qunnar to take blm Into those mountains." "Yes, I know; but Curt, think of this: he's been there In that God forsaken country for nine months; he's gone almost a. year without sight of a white woman's face. And another thing, Curt we know be threw over Helen Matbleson and took up with another girl Just a few weeks before be pitched off. We've never found out who that girl was. I'll bet my governor's title against a shirt-button that It was Sonya Vol kov!" Curt stepped on the starter. "Yonr 'theory' Is a waste of time. Let's be getting somewhere, it you're going to drive." They drove back to the Marl In home, mapped out their program for the following day, and separated. EARLY the next morning they met at the pier and flew across to Victoria, Baldwin started out to cover the private school where Son ya taught and the family where she bad been governess. Curt took the other leads as his part. E SALEM, Dec. 10.

But he did know the lumber company that the men were connected wltb, the name of the school where Sonya taught, the family where she bad been governess, and the address of the Volkov home. Curt decided that wltb those good leads It would be easy to run across to Victoria and get the Information be wanted. Tbanklng their host, be and Baldwin went down to the car. "Well, did you get what you were after, Curt?" "It was worth while, I've got a good grasp of her background; but nothing that he aiild gives me any Idea of what she's doing In the Lil luars." Badwln turned on the switch key, napped It off again, toyed with the trap of his swagger stick. "Curt, I've been thinking of Sonya Volkov a lot this evening and I've got a theory about this situation. Maybe It's occurred to you. Did you ever wonder whether Karakhan mightn't be at the bottom of this trip of hers?" "Karakhan how's that?" "See here. It's a pretty safe bet that those two were acquainted. Karakhan must've known her; be made It bis business to know all the Emigres In these two cities, tor he didn't want somebody who knew him In Russia to bob up unexpectedly and give him away. It's another safo bet that Karskhan would bave pushod his acquaintance with her. Those snaps you took, especially that one of hor on the rock Curt, she's a beautiful glrL The point Is, he might have fallen tor him " "0t" The denial was Jolted from I Curt. "That's ridiculous." 1 "I don't see how. Others have. Tou know the old saying that women love a dash of wickedness." "Yes. I've heard It But I also know Sonya Volttov. You don't. Am." "Right, but that's all the more reason why my Judgment on this may be bettor than yours. I'm not biased. To put my theory In a nut ation, 1 believe she's going In there to Join Karakhan." He wont first to the office of the lumber company to meet ber father, confident that he would need go no further. To his keen disappointment hor father and brother were both gone on a long trip to Vladivostok on buslnoss. He was surprised to hear this. Sonya bad led blm to be lieve that Russian soil was dis tinctly dangerous for the Volkovs. He located the president of the Emigre1 Society, a genial Muscovite of fifty who now waa managing i warehouse on the CP., docks. He struck up an-aownlntanceshlp wltb the man, went home with him for lunch, and met his wife and bis three vivacious daughters. In an hour's talk with the girls Curt turned ber private life Inside out, learning a great mass of details about ber work and friends and In tercuts. But nothing that tbey said gave him any clue to her trip north. As a last hope he taxied out to the Volkov home. The house was locked, the shades drawn, a dozen old news papers on the front porch. As he ex pected, no one answered his ring. A neighbor woman, seeing him looking around, volunteered some information about the Volkovs. Through her Curt learned that Ralph Nichols frequently had called there. The woman told of another man also, whom she bad seen on many occasions, a tall handsome Russian of thirty-eight or forty. He came from some near-by city, likely Vancouver, the woman said; but she had not seen him since last falL Yes, he had been a very frequent visitor tor a month or more. The description of this unknown caller sounded 10 Curt remarkably like a description of Igor Karakhan. At four o'clock he met Baldwin on the pier. To bis question Baldwin shook his head. "Didn't flush a bally thing. What luck did you have?" "None. 1 found out everything about her except the one thing I wanted to know." He said nothing about his talk with the woman and Sonya's caller last tall.
