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

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

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.
