Ourt'a amphibian at the appointed rfln deavoua. Ronva la atone with Bo rakhan in hia wllderncaa cabin. SONYA'S voice broke. For a mo ment she seemed on the verge of going to pieces. But she steadied herself, dashed the tears from ber eyes: and her right band crept In side ber blouse. It was genuinely news to Kara khan that ber two menkln had been put to death by the secret police. He bad Indeed sent them to Vladivostok wltb forged papers on a nonexistent deal, as she said; and he bad written the police anonymously that they were coming, so that they would be arrested. In the critical days Just before he cashed In on his huge swindle, the Bovlet agents had become suspicious that something was wrong In their trading with western Canada: but by pointing their suspicions at the Volkov men and sending those two icross to the Siberian port, be bad made a gesture, as though to soma ally of bis who had crept up to tha window and was training a gun on ber. "Don'tl" ho cried. "Don't shoot!" The ruse would never have caught Cunt Tennyson. But Sonya was ou the first man hunt of her life; and for all the brilliancy of that hunt she knew nothing of the subtleties which come only from desperate experi ences. Sbe whirled, glanced at the empty window and ber second's advantage was gone. In the moment that her eyes left him, Karakhan gripped tbe staff, lifted It, and swung at her. Sonya threw up ber arm to save aerself, but the heavy clublike thing knocked her arm away and struck her a glancing smash along the temple. She reeled, and her gun went clat tering against the sheet-iron stve. Karakhan lifted tbe staff for an other blow, but It was not neces sary; bis first bad knocked her senseless. In the throbbing stillness Kara khan stood over ber, breathing heav ily, looking down at ber white face. As he regarded her he understood something of the passionate devo tion and loyalty which had turned Sonya Into a cold-furled vengeance of a girl and sent ber on her bunt When he saw tbat she was merely stunned, he picked her up lightly, TO BE DISCUSSED O RANTS PASS, Jan. 8 fSpl.)

"I can't Imagine what you're talk ing about," be donled, not In any hope oi shaking Sonya's knowledge. but to win a few minutes and adjust himself to this stupefying turn. He bad not failed to notice her right hand sliding Into her blouse. It was clasping a gun, the gun she Intend ed to kill him with. "You didn't aend them over to Vladivostok, did you?" Sonya spiked his denial. "You didn't Inform the police privately that father and Carl were the ones who were posing as government officials? You didn't cover your own thieving operations by turning suspicion to tbem? "An old refugee who lives In Vladi vostok and used to know my father, found out about It and wrote me from Harh'n. Their business associates don't know It, even now. The police don't know a whisper about their death." She made a gesture of con tempt at the stumbling Ineptitude of the police. IN tho face of death, the nearest , 1 that death had ever brushed him, . Karakhan was shaken with a cring ing terror. He waa at ber mercy, and he had no mercy. "Sonya, I'm sorry about your fa ther and brother." In a frantlo effort , to stave off his doom, he seised jpon almost any plea. "Won't yog let me iplain exactly tha extent of my guilt?" He folded his hands behind his back, apparontly as fc show of help lessness, but bis fingers closed over the iron-tipped ski staff against the walL Even so. he dared not move. Sonya held only a second's advan tage, but for him that aecond waa the difference between life and doath. "Let you explain your guilt?" she net his plea. "Anything can e ex plained. Judaa explained. And so did Pontius Pilate." Her hand came out of her blouse gripping a small black autonatlc. Karakhan deliberately looked past ' her, at the window behind. With a auperh control of hia expression, he carried her over to the bunk, tied her bands and feet securely wltb thongs ripped from his snowshoes, and gngged her with bis kerchief. He did not want her screaming when she came to; It would let those others know thst be was getting away from there. He watched her eyes flicker open, Sbe stared up at him, not yet fully comprehending; then glanced about tbe cabin. When ahe looked back to him again, he saw the realisation come into her eyes that her hunt had ended In a horrible failure. She broke out in an Insane vio lence. She struggled to tear the cords from her wrists and ankles. She flung herself off the bunk and tried to roll toward the little automata by the stove. Karakhan seized her. She writhed and fought blm, but hi greater atrength provalled, and by degrees her violence exhausted ber, till her struggles became pitifully weak. He carried ber back to the bunk acd lashed her upon It. They stared at each other, Sonya defiant, Karakhan enjoying bla sense of mastery. "So you came here to kill me, sweetheart," be said. In Russian. "I should hava known. But better lata than never. Now what aball I do to yon In return, before 1 go away from here? You are thinking 1 will harm you. Not at all. Instead, I am going to allow you your fredom. In abort, I am going to leave you here." He paused to enJo the effect of his words upon Sonya. He watched the blood ebb from her face, aaw a terror come Into her eyea In place of her defiance a few momenta ago. You won t lack attention, Utile one," he added, with a wolfish smile on his mouth. "LeNoIr and the In dian will be fighting over you In an hour from now. You probably would prefer LeN'olr. but personally I think the Indian will win he has a whole clan behind him. But either way, sweetheart. It will be a long, long time before you see a white face again." (Copyright. William 0. Uovary) Smsth's return, tomorrow, brings a furthor dinoir. BUT IT WASN'T tX EASY.
