Chapter 4!
THE MEETING
CONY A made herself stop thinking
01 anytning neyona tomorrow
morning. She would need all her
strength and poise (or her meeting
with Karakhan. It would be fatal
to brood about the future and let it
unnerve her. The future must take
care of Itself.
All that dav her thoughts had
been running on her father; and
now. on the trip up the dark river,
they came back to blm, and she
tried to feel that he was with her
In spirit, watching over her safety
again as he had done during that
white Siberian winter.
As she looked above the tree tops
and saw the Sacred W hanging In
the northeast sky, she remembered
the long -ago evening In distant
Irkutsk when he had Srst pointed
It out to her and Carl, and recalled
winter nights In the Lena Woods
when the three of them bad lain
huddled together, without Ore or
shelter, listening tor enemies and
watching the constellations swing
around the pole star.
Now be and Carl were gone, and
under the far-northern Canadian
sky she was watching those con
stellations alone. Dead, be and Carl,
ber aienfolk who had been all the
world to her she dared not let ber
self think of them as dead, tor It
was only recently that rhe had
pulled herself out of the black bot
tomless tragedy of their deaths and
found heart to go on living.
Karakhan was reading a batch of
month-old newspapers that mid-
night when the three runners came
Into his cabin with LeNolr's report.
Tbe moment he heard about the
escape of Ralston and hla partner,
be made up bis mind to get away
In bis plane as soon as he had light
enough for flying. The reassurance
which LeNoir relayed that those
two ha'! fled south and tbe main
band was coming north as a guard
reassured him not at all.
Sharpened by twenty years of
keeping ahead of the law, his Intui
tion told him It was time to. go.
That fellow Ralston bad a charmed
life.
He wavered over what to do
about Sonya. On Helen Mathleson,
or any of the others, he would not
have wasted a thougbt; but Sonya
Volkov stood out by herself, one of
the rare personalities of his life
time. In the last few days be had
been thinking of her till she had be
come a madness In his blood; and
all the clamorous Impulses within
him rebelled at the thought of leav
ing ber there.
She would go along with him will
ingly: her passionate letter left no
doubt that she would follow him to
the world's end. On tbe swift flight
to Mexico she would be an Impedi
ment, true enough an extra person
would cut down the gas load, and
Inquisitive officials along the coast
might ask questions, since be would
be flying with a girl. But the risk
was slight, his bi'rden would be a
precious burdon, and when be got to
Mexico be would have her there with
him!
After throwing bis personal af
fects Into a duffle bag. he went down
to the hangar, turned the Speedalr
o that It headed lakeward; and
untied all tbe mooring ropes except
one sllp-hltch around a pontoon
brace. Once he started to make bis
get-away; It would be distinctly
wise to go In a hurry.'
He wanted to be skimming out
upon tbs lake, beyond canoe and
rifle reach, before his Intention
burst upon LeNoir and Slam-Klale.
They were going to turn ugly when
they real I ted be was escaping and
le'.ting them hold the sack.
The Speedalr was so vital to him
that be ordored a pair of Klosobees,
two of hla bodyguard whom be could
trust, to stay there at the hangar
and guard the ship. It was Just
possible that LeNoir might suspect
dim of wanting to escape and might
try to cripple the plane.
Ai dawn, when the ten canoes
came swinging around the timbered
headland, he was standing on tbe
log pier, waiting. Strung out for
several hundred yards, the flotilla
skirled up along the shore toward
hlra till at last, with pulses ham

mering, he picked out Sonya In Le
Nolr's craft
LeNoir stroked his canoe In front
of the others and nosed in to tbe
landing. Sonya rose up, . swaying
slightly to the rocking of the water.
Karakhan reached her hand, clasped
It, helped her step up on the logs.
"Sonya!" He greeted ber In their
native tongue. "You have really
cornel I haven't quite believed It
until now!"
Sonya's clear eye looked at him
steadily. She did not respond to the
pressure of bis hand. "Yes, I've
come," she said. In an even voice.
"I'm glad to meet you again."
Karakhan was disappointed and
puzzled. Her greeting had none of
the passion of ber letter. But per
haps It was only her natural shy
ness before LeNoir and the Indians.
"You're tired," be sald.wlth a
show of solicitude. He could not
take bis eyes from her tbe golden
softness of her balr, tbe loveliness
of ber face and throat "Come np
with me to the cabin. I've a break
fast of sorts ready for you." He
lowered bis voice, though none of
his listeners knew a sentence of
Russian: "Then we're leaving here.
Immediately. I'll explain, dearest,
when we're alone and a thousand
versts from this place."
As tbey walked up the footpath
to the cabin, he grew more and more
disappointed and mystified by Son
ya's attitude. This meeting with her
was not as he bad expected. She
seemed even colder and more dis
tant than In Victoria, when be had
so dismally failed of a conquest
INSIDE the cabin be took her forc
ibly Into his arms and kissed her,
thinking It would break down her
shyness. Sonya turned ber face
away, and he felt her whole body
stiffen at tbe mere contact with
blm. It seemed.
"What's wrong, Sonya?" ha de
manded. "Yon don't appear at all
glad." Ha was Impatient with her
coldness and utter lack of response.
Sonya freed herself, without an
swering. She stepped over to the
rough block table and behind It so
that It stood between ber and Kara
khan. Wltb a glance about the room
acd a glance at the Indians out
side, she confronted blm.
"It's been a long trail from Vic
toria here," she said, dropping the
last pretense of friendliness. "And
It was a long hunt before that to
get my first trace of where you'd
gone. When I look back. It seems as
though I've had one continuous
miracle of luck In finding you. But
that's past I'm here.'
Karakhan stared wide-eyed at her,
with all his ardor forsaking htm.
He saw, at last that her coldness
was no girlish make-believe but a
dead earnestness. The expression In
her eyes made him suddenly afraid.
"Your conquests wltb women have
always been so easy," she went on,
"that you can't Imagine any woman
not falling In love with you, and so
when you get a letter from one that
called you 'Beloved' when she meant
'You white beast' you swallowed tbe
hook and sent your msn to bring
ber to you.
".You were proof against traps and
poison and the professional police
bounds, but you weren't proof
against that lure! You've had your
way with a great number of women
and you came to regard them aa
harmloss things. But where men
all the men ever sent after you
tailed to bring yoy to account It was
a woman who trailed you, and
reached here, end's here now!"
Karakhan backs- up a step and
bla law dropped. It anything of bis
delusion about her remained, the
loathing packed into that epithet
You white beast" toppled It and
shattered It to bits. A suspicion
Tolled through him did she know?
Had she found out? Impossible; he
had worked too carefully and anony
mously. But was anything Impos
sible to one who had trailed him as
consummately as she had doneT
Her next words left blm In no
doubt "There In Victoria, when you
started negotiating with father and
Carl about that lumber Importation,
1 told thorn that you were a dan
gerous man, as dangerous as a
cobra. They didn't take my warn
ing, because 1 had no evidence ex
cept my Intangible Judgment of you.
With those worthless safe conduct
papers that you forged they went
away to Vladivostok to close that
big lumber deal tor their company,
they thought And the police got
them when tbey landed, as you In
tended, And there In the Lout
yanka In that execution chamber
under tbe bill father and Carl "
