ttE'LL get a damned bad dlsap

ing grimly. "When that avalanche
piles down we're going to be el
where!" The moment Sonya went be In
tended to start Francois and Jocku
back south and send Ralph along
with them. By traveling at night
' and holing up during the day the
three would get out to Russian Lake
easily enough. That would free him
self and Paul. Taking nothing but
rifles and light canoe, they would
slip away from the Island and be
miles gone when LeNolr and his out
fit came calling. Up the Lllluar
they would watch for Sonya to pass,
then fall In behind her party and let
her lead them to Karakhan.
Through the open flap-front of
Sonya's tent he could see her mov
ing about In the dim Interior, mak
ing ready, he believed, to leave
them that night. He tried not to
watch ber, but his eyes kept stray
ing back. He could steel himself
against ber, "ie could scorn her, but
Indifference lay beyond his power.
She had meant too much to him.
In the tent Sonya was putting to
gether a few personal articles for
ber trip, fully expecting LeNolr to
come and take her away that mid
night. Her unshakable purpose kept
her steady, and after that long red
trail from Vetemsk to Urga the dan
gers of this trip were not formidable
enough to stop ner; out me oara-
seas settling down, tho daunting
tourney ahead and the terrible un
certainty at the end of It filled her
with dread.
GLANCING through the flap, she
saw Curt lay aside bis rifle and
start filling cartridge clips, evident
ly getting ready for whatever might
come. The safety of the party after
she left worried ber only a little;
she bad an Implicit faitb that Curt
and Paul could take care of them
selves against a dozen like LeNolr
and tbe sub-chief They would get
back to safety and get Ralph back.
Sbe longed to step outside and
talk with Curt, a few last words;
sut sbe was afraid to, afraid be
would cut her cold as be had been
doing for tbe last four days.. She
was utterly bewildered by bis atti
tude, his Icy exaggerated politeness,
his sudden and complete cbange to
ward her. Something had happened,
that night of his return.
She could not fathom the causa of
hta change. It couldn't be that he
knew anything about her rendes
tous with LeNolr; she herself bad
seen him leaning against the rocks
asleep, and Paul had been In bis
tent both before and after she went.
And It couldn't be that Ralpli had
told him about ber trip. Ralph pro
tested earnestly that he had never
dropped a hint nor had Curt Ques
tioned him.
Whatever the reason, she felt that
he had lost her bost friend on earth,
the one person whom she might
have dopended on to help ber.
When her light pack was made up,
he buckled It, laid It aside and
topped over to the tent door. Curt
was almost done with the clips. In
minute or two he'd go op and Join
Paul, and she wouldn't get to see
him again alone.
For a tew momenta she wavered,
torn between her pride and the
promptings of her heart It might
be that she had said or done some
thing which had offended him and
which she could smooth out. When
sbe thought of his pleading "Can't 1
hope you do care a little bit, sweet
heart," It seemed Impossible that he
could care nothing at all now. May
be she bad been too Spartan with
herself and with him on those two
bvenlngs.
She put her pride In her pocket
and went out to him.
"Can't I help you with those car
bridges?" she proffered as an excuse
to linger and talk.
. "Very kind of you," Curt refused
coldly, "but If you haven't done this
before you might load 'em back
wards." Sonya wondered what be meant
by that. His words carried some
barbed meaning, just as he bad
meant something stinging when he
