PAGE TEtf MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1934. Chapter it THE PLAN ."pEN'N-OG stepped away and cnol ly walked across the logs. Thai waa more than Curt cared to try. Be got down and crept along the bridge on banda and kcees, with Paul behind biro. Midway he stopped, loosened a piece of bark and listened (or the sound. Several seconds later be heard the bark bit against a rock and splash Into the stream. The chasm, about seventy (eet ioep, was not so abysmal as be had thought; but (or the rr.a- wbo (ell Into It those seventy (eet would be plenty, wltb rocks to crasb on and that underground creek to sweep one away. Joining Tenn-Og on the other side, be lit another match and looked around. He (ound biraseK In a large Irregularly shaped cave, warm and dry and fully fifty (eet across. Sh rts like the entrance led off In a dozen directions, some straight back Into the mountain rock, others parallel ing the face of the cliff. By the match flare be also noticed signs of human occupancy. In :he flickering light be glanced at Tenn-Og, wbo was staring at tbe snowshoes and fireplace; and on tbe T stay there till be got ready to let them out! Under ordinary circumstances a bush-wise outfit like them would hesitate about venturing Into ao plain a deadfall, but In the heat of a fight they probably would not stop to weigh danger. Tbe Idea Intrigued blm, largely be cause It would avoid heavy blood shed. He bated to think of shooting Into those men and killing as be would have to kill to stop a deter mined rush. Tbey were an admir able little clan. Besides, this fight was not their flgbt but Karak ban's, and tbe Russian would not be In that charge. He would be hiding behind others, letting others be victimized In protecting blm. As much as he wanted to try the trap, be Anally decided against It BACK outside, he explained to Tenn-Og that tbe cave was no good, and asked blm to show them a better place. " The Indian took them down slops fifty yards, worked over to the left. and brought them to a little knoll. The spot looked Ideal to Curt at bis first glance. A tangle of rocis and windfall logs gave them fine cover; the slope fell away so steeply In front that an attack from that direction was WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.(AP) The federal government today an nounced that Importers of, American type wlsky could make Importations In any quantity for 90 days. The measure was worked out Jointly by the treasury, the depart ment of agriculture and the federal alcohol control administration. Joseph H. Choate, Jr., control ad ministrator, also announced: I.

Indian's face, usually so maskilke, he saw a storm of emotions. This was the place, tbe very place, where lnn-Og and the Slkannl girl bad spent tbelr Idyllic summer. Paul picked up a balsam branch, touched It to Curl's match, and looked around the cava wltb mar veling eyes. "Name of the Name! be breathed. "Here you and I could bold off a bundrod men!" "Maybe so, but If 'beyd erer hap pen to bottle us up In here, we'd stay tor a hundred years. I want something more substantial than that spider footlog between me and tbe outside." Tenn-Og shook hi. head. "We get out quick." He pointed to one of tbe black shafts at tbelr right and Indicated tbat It opened out on a ledge near the flsaure. "But auppose they'd plug that opening up?" Curt asked. TTHE other Klosoheea didn't know 1 about It, Tonn-Og aald. They knew about the care, tbey often spent a night there or waited out a bllizard; but they knew nothing about the ledge opening. He and tbe girl bad found It accidentally while exploring tbelr borne. "In that case," Paul argued, "they eouldn't trap us In here, partner. You and 1, shooting from tbe en trance yonder, would have solid rock protection on all sides except In front. If something did go wrong, wa could back up scross this chasm, kick these logs down, and be safe against an army!" But Curt waa not satisfied. For defense the place was perfect, as Paul said. But defense was not enough. If tbey were to tear Sonya away and nail Karajuan. they would bare to push tbe fight, and the cave waa too far distant from tbe camp (or aura rifle work, and a drogue of spruces just down slop almost com pletely bid the cabin. With the ghost of an Idea In mind be atepped back again to the bridge, took bold of tbe ends of the logs, lifted them up, and assured himself tbat tbe two timbers could easily be thrown luto the chasm. If be could somehow get the Klosohcos across Into the cave proper and then push down the bridge, they would Impossible; and the upper side wai protected by a thlcklet of devil's club, spiked with wicked three-lncl thorns. The range was as good as bi could ask for, and down at the laki shore tbe whole camp lay wide opes to their guns. The stars bad already paled ini were fading one by one. Down at the cabin a man, a whit man, stepped out Into the graj dawn, looked around and atarted down to the canoe landing. Curt'i fingers tightened on his rifle as b watched the Russian. At tbe lake beadland to tbe eaal a canoe loomed out of the gray mist Others followed It till presently ten were strung along tbe shore. One canoe nosed ahead of the others. In the prow of It Curt's aching eyes picked out a email slim figure sit ting proudly erect, and bis heart leaped. She'd come through safely With rifle out at ready he watched the meeting between her and Karak ban, and saw them start up tbe path. While he waited, angering his rifle Impatiently, be waa suddenly startled by a throaty yelp from the direction ot the oars. Jerking around, he saw Ova of the big honor. oolored huskies filter out ot a thick et and come loping straight for the knoll. Tenn-Og dropped tbe leader with a silent arrow, killing the dog In Its tracks. Ilia next arrow struck a husky In the flank. It yelped. wnlrled and bit at tbe dart. Tbe othere took the bint and stayed back a respectful distance, wltb a furious snarling and barking. Down at the lean-to's several men grabbed speara and came ruining up the slope, thinking perhaps that the dogs had brought a prowling gristly to bay. SUM LeNoIr did not show himself, anf Slam Klale was more than three hundred yards from the landing. Don't!" Curt whlspored, aa Paul lined his rifle at the sub-chief. "He's too far. and we've got to get that LeNoIr. We're sure to be discovered now, but before It happens ws may put those two out." fCopvrlcaf. William B.
