FORBIDDEN VALLEY BYHOI'HIB: Sonya Rolkov hat tracked Igor Karakhan to his Canadian wilderness hiding place to avenge tht deaths of her lather and brother, whom Karakhan hat betrayed to the Soviets. Kara khan, by a ruse, succeeds in tying Ronya tti a bunk in his cabin, and tells her he is teavtna her to ths mercy of tht Indians, tier only hope is Curt Tennyson, and Curt is delayed because hit partner, Kmaeh Deeplaines, has failed to meet Mm with Curt's plane. .Chapter 44 DELIVERING ANGEL UNTIL he reached oU John's lake up the Iskltlmwah, the prospect of getting Into bli plane and whirl ing north bad buoyed Curt up and kept him going long after he had gone dead on bis feeL But bo bad reached the limit of human endur ance, and the shock of finding him self hopelessly stranded through Smaeh's truancy, pushed blm over the limit Stumbling under a pine tree, ha slumped down, almost In a collapse, and dropped into the merci ful oblivion of sleep. Tenn-Og began looking around the cabin, reading signs a crushed nettle, footprints, a broken twig wltb wilted leaves. He announced presently that Smash had not been there yesterday or the day before that. He bad left three days ago. To sit around and watch the sky for a plane that did not come was more than Paul could bear. Wisely ha kept himself busy. While Tenn Og went down the shore to a small stream where ptarmigan were chort ling among the cloudberry thickets, he drew out the canoe and gummed it. freshened up the musty cabin and chopped a dead jackplne Into fire wood. When Tenn-Og came back with three ptarmigan, he cleaned and dressed the birds, cooked them, and prepared a meal. . Near seven o'clock Curt woke up. Paul had supper ready, but Curt could not force himself to eat. The thought of Sonya drawing nearer and nearer that headwaters lake sent him tramping the landwasb again In distraction. Paul and Tenn-Og made a two pronged Javelin, hardened the points In the Are; and went down to a rock Jut to spear trout As Curt turned once, he saw they bad stopped fish ing and were listening Intently, look ing around the horizon. A few moments later he caught a far-away bum, faint as a mos quito's song. It seemed to come from nowhere In particular; but It rapidly grew louder, deeper, and changed to a throaty drone. He lo cated Its direction, due south, and whirled to look. Out above a lofty range hove a glistening speck, shining In the slant evening sun. Curt stood rooted In bis tracks, afraid that the growing speck was a delusion and might vanish. But It came on and on, till at last he distinguished the lines of his plane. For him that glistening plane had all the splendor of a delivering an gel. From Its height of ten thousand feet It glided down and down, bankod over the lake, leveled off, touched and- came taxylng shore ward. The three leaped Into their canoe and darted out to meet It As they swung around the pro pallor and clambered upon a pon . toon, Smash opened a panel and flipped bis cigarette Into the water "Hullo! Didn't keep you waiting, did I, Curt? Darned sorry; but say. you ought to see the dance pavilion and the whole layout down there at Lak Maria uhWny, what's the matter, Curtt" ' Curt glared at him tight-lipped, sent the canoe spinning with a kick, slammed open the door and climbed Into the cabin. "I'll take the controls. Get back In the rear place; I want Tenn-Og up front with me." HIS LIFTED the tank flaps and glanced at the gauges. One third full! For a moment he was tempted to throw Smash off on that wilderness shore and let him get out to Russian Lake afoot, If he could. It was like Smash, with hie mind on Lake Marianne, to come off wltb barely enough gas to return to Tellacet There was plenty to reach the Lll luar headwaters, but none to bring tbe ship back south. When they reached the lake they would have no gas to maneuver with or get out to civilisation. Taking off, he circled to five thou sand feet and started west, down tbe Iskltlmwah. Fifteen minutes later, as he sailed out over the river widening and tbe Island of black lilies, be saw Tenn-Og look down at the country below and blink aston ished eyes. Fifteen minutes snd that same trip had taken six hard csnoe-hours that morning! Intending to approach his goal from the west in order to keep frotn dying over the main band of Kloso- Afghans Execute Four Assassins KABUL, Afglt&nlttAii, Jan. 10.

Tenn-Og kept looking out of the panel windows on each side, trying desperately to guide tbe flight- In the deep valleys under keel twilight was already gathering: the visibil ity was made still poorer by pearly-gray baza that came drifting down from some forest fire In tbe Yukon country. But his Job was to guide them, and be came through wltb It As a moun tain nomad be was somewhat used to heights, and by recognizing a fa miliar range or lake system now and then, he was able to keep his bearings. At last he touched Curt's arm and pointed twenty-odd miles east at two lordly cloud-wrapped mountains. "Sunall and Dlnaggwah," be said; and be Indicated that on the other side of them lay the headwater! lake. Curt studied the giant twins care fully. He bad to get down on that lake unheard and unseen, for at the slightest bint of a plane In that country Karakhan would escape In his own ship, and tbey bad no gas to follow. If the plane could climb high enough, be could cut off tbe engine and glide those twenty-five miles to the lake and so get there unheard. But to reach It without being seen was a harder problem, calling for all the flying skill be bad. There was a flock of clouds swirling around the two giants and filling the pass between them. Lf ho could keep be hind some big cloud on his approach and fly through tbe pass by Instru ments, be would come out on the shadow side of SunalL It would be twilight there and the plane would hardly be visible a mile away. H- PDT the plane Into a steep circling climb. At eighteen thousand feet he geared In the su percharge to aid the laboring motor. The thermometer on the wing strut showed- sixteen below, inrt at nine teen thousand feet it dropped to twenty-one. He noticed his compan ions nodding drowsily, and he kept a sharp watch over his own senses. In the thin air he managed to get another thousand out of bis plane. Twenty thousand feet high, be looked through a rift of cloud be twoen the two mountains and caught a glimpse of tbe dark lake valley beyond. Cutting off the engine, he pointed the ship at the great cleft, and began the long silent glide. Heading on and on toward tht snowy pass, he plunged at last into the clouds that hovered around the giants. For a space of Are minutes be slipped silently through fleecy woolpack, where the sky above and earth below were blotted out and only his Instruments kept htm pointed true. When he came out of the wool pack, he was through the pass and down In the purple shadows ol Sunall. Dropping on down, with the dark waters slowly coming up to meet him, he veered In toward the south shore, under Tenn-Og's guidance. Three miles from Karnkhan'a cabin, he leveled off, plowed water, and came to a stop. He was there, sll right; he had made It without be ing seen or heard: but with less than six gallons of gas left, he would never get out of that mountain- -cradled lake. No escape, no retreat It was a locked light now. A light breeze blowing offshore began drifting the plane out Into the lake. Paul reached the two stubby paddles from the canvas canoe out fit and the four men clambered down on the floats. By strenuous work they managed to check the drift and start the plane In to ward land. A mile from the cabin Tenn-Og showed them a small cove, screened by several big pines, where the I plane would be fairly well hidden. ( They warped it Inside, moored it, got out their guns. "You're to stay hore and watch the ship," Curt ordered Smash. He hated to cut down his party, but Smash was too careloss for the work ahead. Instead of a help he would be a constant dangor. "Now keep yourself under cover; these lloso hees have sharp eyes and long ears. We'll scout the place out down there bofore we spring the fight, and I'll lot you know what we're doing." "Okay. Don't worry about me." A little distance down the shore Curt happened to turn and glance back at the cove. A match was Oar Ing up Smash lighting a cigarette. In the black pine shadows the point of lire could have been spotted hall a mile away. (Copyright, William B.
