THE PLAN

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

TAILSPIN TOMMY The Boys Plan To Surprise Tommy's Mother But!
By GLENN CHAFt'Ut
. and HAL FOKKEST
"Don't shoot," said Curt.
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."
