Son Ia Volkov. whom Curt loves, hat 2ed to Igor Rarakhan. and Kara han It the orook Curl It truing to capture. Novj Tenn-Og. a Kloaohet whott lift Curt had saved, brinot them a canoe, and tellt them hovj to avoid the Indians. Chapter 88 THE ESCAPE "ALL right," 3urt agreed, "well try the west But understand this, If anything happens It can't happen too quick to keep mo from putting a bullet between your eyes, trlend. you understand?" Tenn-Og nodded, without a flicker of expression on bis dusky face. They went back past their camp Island .nd paddled on west toward the mainland. They were not chal lenged. Tareo hundred yards from t shore they swung south. Still they beard no signals, saw no shad owy mottles. jurt bardly knew what to think. Twice now the Indian's advice had proved right, very right By the route : e bad suggested they bad got free of the Island and through the cordon of canoes. That didn't look like treachery. Furthermore It was Sonya who had sent him with that boat; and certainly she bad not wanted then, to meet harm. With the wind pushing them along, they dropped down toward the narrows where Vrancols and Jocku had been killed. The memory of that death cry was still vivid with Curt As the dark bottle neck loomed up Just ahead, be touched Tenn-Og. "Any men guarding that?" Tenn-Og nodded and held up six lingers. "When they call, 1 answer, you say nothing." They skirled Into the entrance. The dark timber flitted by, close on either band, five hundred yards down, down j.t the narrowest part they were suddenly challenged. The voice came from a clump of Junip ers, ahead of them and on the right hand ban''. An Instant later another voice rang out on the left Two bid den parties, with loss than a bun dred feet separating them no won der Francois and Jocku had met doom there. Tenn-Og stood up and answered. Curt held bis rifle at alert with the trigger safety on red. The canoe came In between the two parties. Nothing happened. It drifted on past Still nothing happened. Be fore they could make themselves be lieve It they were through the gant let, safe with the open river ahead I ' A mile down, when they breathed freely again and were speeding south as fast u three paddles could take them, Curt crept forward and laid his hand on Tenn-Og's arm. "I make mistake," he said slowly, In the Jargon. "Tenn-Og talk straight save white-man friends. I'm sorry. You understand?" Tenn-Og shrugged his shoulders and grunted, with no more expres sion on his claw-scarred face than when they -had suspected hlra of treachery and bad threatened to hoot blm. SOMETIME utter midnight they came to an Island where Curt's party had camped on the up trip. Whipping ashore, they ate part of the food which Tenn-Og had brought', and flung themselvea down on the and for a live-minute rest That camp site held memories for Curt poignant memories of the eve ning his party had stayed there. A cluster of wilted auemones. the Im print of mall dainty moccasin long the landwaah, made him re call how 3onya had wandered lone omely about the camp, trying by a doien little kindnesses to get a friendly word out of him. As be stared up at the stars and thought of ber going north wltb those three Indian guides, It came home to blm tbat In sending Tenn Og to them wltb the canoe she had run - big risk, closely guarded as be had been. It was pretty line of her to do -ha, It It hadn't been for her, he would have gone across to the Klosohees camp and likely got killed In his attempt to steal a boat The Incident made him look back on their wiiole relationship with leas bitterness and more honesty, and be had to acknowledge that from flrst .0 lost she had shot square wltb him. She had not asked for bis help on the trip; he had volun teered it that morning at the moun tain torrent And later, when she saw he was falling In love with her, she bad aid and done everything that a girl could do to halt It At least she bad a conscience, a thoughtful regard tor other people's feelings. Rosalie Marlln would never have tried to PEACE SUGGESTION WILL BE EYED BY PORTLAND, Jan. 8.

Rosalie would have taken pride In having another scalp at her belt The more he thought about her Joining Karakban, the more It seemed to clash with all that he bad seen ot ber daring two weeks ot In timate association. In Helen Mathle- son one could understand such a flight; Helen was blinded and en tirely dominated by passion. But Sonya was not Helen Mathle son. Sonya had gone through more In her lite; she was more mature, deeper of Insight, far more thought ful. For all the fire In ber, she did not seem a girl who would ever let passion overrule her sense ot right Her association with Karakban was simply out ot harmony with all the rest ot her nature. When they got up to go on, he saw tbat Ralph had drifted back to the borderline of consciousness; bis eyea half open, his Hps moving. He was too far gone to talk, but be rec ognized his friends and understood what they said to blm. Curt bent down, encouraging: "Don't let go, Ralph. We're leav ing the Lllluars a"1 taking you out Tomorrow at this time you'll be In Prince Rupert nd tbere they'll fix you up." ' Twice more during the rest ot tbe night Ralph came out of his stupor for a few moments. The second time he tried bard to tell Curt some thing. Curt believed It was some thing about Sonya, for ber name was dlstlnguls' able In the broken whispers. But whatever It was. It went unsaid. Mc ORNINQ came at last with the gray smoke-mist curling up and trout breaking the surface In silvery flashes. They stopped ten minutes to rest and then hurried on all the taster, now tbat they had light to travel by. With enn Og In the prow, guiding them down, the river tbat be knew so Intimately, they shot over dan gerous white water without pausing to scout a course. Their bands were blistered from the paddle work, tbelr arms ached Intolerably, but for Ralph's -ake they drove them selves to the limit . One hour of merciless paddling, then Ave minutes of rest; another hour and another Ave minutes on the sand In that steady relentless fashion they reeled off the long miles ot tbe flight south. - At noon they came to a sluggish lake ot reed patchea and sloughs where ducks and geese and teal In countless numbers had tbelr sum mer rookeries. As they were thread ing a short-cut channel, Curt glanced back toward the lake head and hap pened to see a colony ot little black terns rise out of a slough and ex plode like a putt ot feathers, with shrill cries of alarm. Evidently something out of the or dinary had flushed them. As he kept watching he saw scattered ducks and teal go up, lower down the slough. Indicating that tbe cause ot the alarm, whatever It might be, was coming down stream. Suspicious, be and Paul stopped, backed Into a thick clump of flags and waited, A minute later two ca noes came skimming around a reedy point and headed down toward them. Traveling light three stal wart men to a boat they had come south even faster than his party. To let them go past would only bare meant an ambusb and tight further down river. They bad to be stopped. Waiting till they were within easy range, he and Paul opened on them with a sudden blast The ricocheting bullets, smashing through the wind-water line ot the craft sank them before the thun derstruck Klosohees could realise that ambushing was a game which two could play at With their canoes foundering under them, the six leaped out and swam for the near est flags. Muddled and bedraggled, they stood on their bit of quivering bog and stonily waited to be shot a Curt's canoe, nosed across toward them. Curt looked them over. Like Tenn-Og they were tall rugged men, hardy mountaineers as virile a type ot Indian as he had ever seen. "Tell 'era we're not going to kill em," be bade Tenn-Og. "Find out where the main band Is and what they're doing, and where the white girl is." He listened closely as Tenn-Og talked with the six, but he could not understand a word of the clicks and grunts except the names ot Slam-Klale and LeNolr. When the palaver was over and he had made sure that tbe six men could get across to tbe shore, be backed the canoe off and headed bis party down stream again.
