JfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOTCD, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1933. kl ..FORBIDDEN VALLEY SYSOP8I8: Deaertlno Curt Ten nyaon, leho haa not only met and befriended her in tha Canadian wllda but haa fallen in tove with her. Sonya Volkov Itaa alipped away from camp to lain tlte international erooh, Igor Karakhan. Curt ia try ing to capture Karakhan. Curt, vjtth hie partner. Paul, and Ralph Nichole, Bonya'a former aid. are left etranded on an ialand in tha middle of a lake with neither ca noea nor provialona after an at tack by the Kloeohee Indiana that hoe been inepired by Karakhan. Ralph ia deaperately wounded. Chapter 37 TENN-OQ AGAIN vVER and over again Curt awore to himself, "I'm going to get off thla Ialand!" If lie could not walk or fly or paddla away, ha at least could swim away. But they could not abandon Ralph. To take Ralph with them they would hare to get a boat,, and the only chance of doing that waa tor one of them to swim orer to the mainland camp after dark and try to ateal a canoe. . He himself would hare to go. Paul eould not; like most men born be tide the cold waters of the north, he eould hardly swim at all. '" "Besides our own Uvea," he add ed, "there's Ralph to be considered. It we have a canoe, we can drop down to the Iskltlmwah mouth In up on the sand. Thoroughly myall fled, be swam In, struck bottom and waded ashore. Paul came running to meet him, bringing his clothes. "Partner! It'a Tenn-Og! He fetch ed us a canoe!" "Wba-aa-tt?" "He came just as soon as It was dark enough that the others wouldn't see blm. If you don't believe me, there's the boat and there he Is!" "What's the Idea?" "He says he met Bonya orer at their camp just after the fight last night, and aba told him to bring ua a boat." "Humph! LeNoir's using blm to bait some deadfall for us. Let's find out what hla game Is." He dressed quickly, walked oyer to Tenn-Og, nodded to him. "It's a surprise to see you, friend. So you brought ua a canoe. That's fine! But why?" Tenn-Og pointed to hla forehead and shoulder wounds, aa a reminder that the white atrangers had once helped him. "Is the white girl over there at the camp?" Curt asked. She had left last night, Tenn-Og aald. LeNoIr had atarted her north to the white man In charge of three dopendable guides. "Wasn't It you last evening." Curt Inquired sardonically, "who led The water was numbing cold at first. twenty-four hours, and In six more we'll be up at old John's lake. If Smash la waiting there, as he ought to be, we can bare Ralph over on the Pacific Coast, In the hospital at Prince Rupert, in thirty-six hours." Paul glanced acrosi that mile of Icy slapping water. "You'd stand one chance In twenty-fir of getting orer to that camp and one In hundred of stealing a canoe without letting killed." . "But if 1 don't go, we don't stand any chance at all. As soon aa It (eta dark enough I'm going. It had better be tonight; tomorrow night will only find ua weaker." The alight hope of getting away or at leaat of doing something bo lides waiting helplessly heartened them a little. Curt happened to re member about Ralph's hat d-llne the previous evening and went looking tor It. A amall chub waa on the line when Curt pulled It in. He cut the ehnb Into bait, threw the line out. eaught a gray trout and halt a doten mullets. They scorched the fUh over little wisp of (Ire and had their first meal in thirty hours. pWILIQHT came earlier than usu al, for the aky was still clouded. They walked up to the north tip, and Curt atrlpped tor hla swim. The lake itlll ran wild wltb whltecaps. He shook hands with Paul, waded out and started for the near Island The wator waa numbing cold at first, but he struck np a vigorous pace that kept the chill out of bis blood. In twenty mlnutos he raised hla head and saw a spruce Islet, hla first stop, not tar In front of him At about that same time he heard a distant guarded shout. It sounded like Paul calling to him. He baited. listened, neard nothing more, and warn on. A minute later four shots came rolling across the lake. The peculiar sequence of them . atopped him short. It waa a signal between hlro and Paul; they had need It a doien times to summon ach other. He turned around and headed back for the camp Island. Seventy-fire yards off the lower tip. he made out two men standing at the wave edge. Nearer, ho recog ' 8(1 Paul, and saw a canoe drawn those three canoea down at the north tip of this island?" TENN-OQ admitted leading the canoes. But, he added, at . the right moment he had pulled his men out of the fight by shouting to them that the whites were killing the other Klosohees.. When he backed off, It had broKen up those plans. Curt studied tbo dusky face sharp ly. It waa the most Impassive face he had erer met with, aa unreadable aa a granite mask. Tenn-Og's ex planation did fit the clrcumalnnce, the whole story sounded plausible enough: but still ho did not quite believe It. "Slam-Klale and LaNoIr bare cooked np something for us," he told Paul. "They want to got It over with In a hurry, so they're using thla fellow to trap ua with. Well, they've got another guess coming! And In the meantime we've got - canoel" Curt Inspected the craft. It waa a twenty-foot blrchbark, large enough tor five or six people. The Indian had also brought three extra pad dles, sleeping robes for tbe four of them, and food aarefal pounda of caribou jerky and two large roasted Osb wrapped In leaves. That tempt ing food made Curt suspicious. "We'd better stay away from It. Paul. LeNolr la an artist with poison, and It'd be Ilka him to salt grnb with strychnine and send It to us." All thoughts of going on after Karakhan had dropped out of hla mind. 8onya could go on, If ahe wanted to, and Karakhan could get away. It had to be. Ralph's life came first. They picked up the canoe, took It nearer the barricade, and floated It. After making a bed of the sleep ing robes, they carried itilph over and laid biro In. Curt shored away, unwordably thankful to see the laat of that unlucky Island. "Have your friends got canoea out on the lake tonight, watching for us?" he asked Tenn-Og. Qo that way." Tenn-Og pointed west. "No canoes there." He did not argue or try to persuade, hut merely pointed and stated facta. Copyright. HIS William B Uowery) Tomorrow, Curt doeloti to trust Tsnn-Og.
